You know how, sometimes, when you’re in a bad mood absolutely nothing that anyone says or does is enough to turn it around? Well, I’m here to say that thank God the reverse is also true. When you’re in a really good mood, nothing terrible that happens is going to get you down. It’s raining? Well now being wet is hilarious and a sign of cleansing. Someone makes an unnecessarily sexist comment? Oh, well now their ignorance is adorable and their moral backwardness is cute. Walking into aluminium ladders? HYSTERICAL.
But no seriously guys, I walked into a ladder today. Dad’s painting the house (classic) and today I was just casually minding my own business walking into the house when WHACK. To be fair, I was a little preoccupied. You see, today I finally asked Sarah the big question. That question, that no matter how casual your relationship apparently is, you have to ask. And apparently she’s my girlfriend now. Like the dork that I am, I called Hayles straight away, and she came to pick me up from uni so we could gossip about it on the way home. When I was walking in the door, then, I may or may not have been looking the other way. My head swivelled to look through the front door when I collided with one of dads custom made ladders. The impact was so intense that I rebounded so badly I literally fell back onto the ground – looking at the stars that suddenly danced before my eyes. The best part? I couldn’t stop laughing.
I just lay on the ground, with Hayles looking over me, both of us crying we were laughing so hard. I was probably on the ground for a solid three minutes. Eventually Hayles recovered her basic human decency and helped me to my feet. Currently, as I sit here crumpled up like a cat typing up this story, there’s an ice pack pressed to my forehead where, in all likeliness, I huge bruise is forming, but I’m still laughing about it. These kinds of days are my kind of days.
