So I was walking into my room the other day, say around 9 o' clock or so, and the lights were off. It was really dark in there, so I decided I should probably turn the light on. So I walked back to the doorway, and flipped the switch, knowing that the light would probably come on. And do you know what? The flippin' switch made the light come on! Ingenious! Well, needless to say, that marvel pleased me much.
And, stupid me, I was so caught up in the moment that I totally forgot that I still had my shoes on. You know how it is sometimes: you some into the room and turn on the light and completely forget that your shoes are on. Boy, I tell you!
Anyways, to get back to my story, I was so annoyed at myself for forgetting to take my shoes off that I went over to my chair to take them off before I walked around my room anymore with them on. Well, in order to do that I had to walk across the room; each step being taken by feet that still had shoes on. I got angrier and angrier with each step.
Let me take an aside here and comment that they (whoever "they" are) really need to come up with a better solution for taking your shoes off (or for that fact, remembering in the first place that they are still on) when you come into a room. By this time I was smoking mad! I was totally ticked off!
You know those times when you are half-way about to sit in a chair, when your bum is hovering just past the point of no return, when gravity is just taking over for your leg muscles, and you realize: "Hmm, I'm probably coming down too hard for this particular chair. I should have thought about this a few milliseconds sooner, that way I could have properly adjusted my final approach. Oh well, here goes nothing. I'm sure I'm about to break this thing. (Insert appropriate battle cries here)”
Well... that didn't happen. I didn’t think about it.
The chair held, my shoes came off okay, and I'm getting over, albeit slowly, walking in my room with my shoes still on.
