Are you? Or are you as graceful as a swan?

I'm a complete clutz. Always bruised up and usually don't even know why. I fall while running because I'm all OOH LOOK A BIRD or whatever. I trip up and down the stairs. You name it.
 
I think a combination of both, if that's possible. I do tend to have lots of bruises and such on my legs, which would indicate I run into things often?? But I usually don't even notice that I do it. And really, my coordination is quite good. So.... not sure which is the right answer for me.
 
Oh, yes, I am super clumsy. My husband says I trip over air and he's pretty much right on. I'm always banging into walls and anything else that doesn't move...I think it's mostly because I just don't pay attention to where I'm going and I'm trying to do too many things at once.
 
I would NOT call myself graceful, but other than some clutzy stages during adolescent growth spurts, I've never been especially clumsy. But then I don't do much of anything that really tests it. Pretty hard to get injured while sitting at my computer. :giggle
 
I am clumsy and quite frankly I am a danger to myself and all around me .. I even managed to stab myself in the thigh once!

I do have an excuse though as I have monocular vision and so I lack any real concept of depth .. hence the dropping, stumbling, burning, cutting and stabbing I have managed to inflict upon myself over the years LOL
 
I have little to no spacial intelligence. I frequently run into the side of doorways and trip over things. It is a really good thing I don't drive...I would be dangerous.
 
I'm clumsy but mostly due to a total lack of paying attention. I get super focused on one thing and forget what else is around me so I'm constantly getting tangled in cords or bumping into people!
 
I think I am the perfect mix! If there is such a thing. When it came to sports, I was graceful....but I could trip on an imaginary line!!!
 
I am not really clumsy but I do end up with bruises and such and have no idea how I got them. My kids on the other hand can walk right into walls while looking straight at them LOL!
 
I don't have an ounce of gracefulness in me and I passed it along to my son. We are the clutz twins when we're out somewhere. Several bumps, bruises and embarrassing moments have come from my clumsiness (including the walking around in white sweatpants with the dirty knees from falling up the stairs in 8th grade, tripping on the dance floor at a friend's wedding when I was 7 months pregnant and breaking a toe in the middle of the night when L.J. was 4 weeks old).

I'm a klutz. Being coordinated requires a level of mental presence that I lack. I'm always up in my head and not paying attention to things around me.
 
I'm a klutz and it's mostly due to either not paying attention to my surroundings or just doing things too quickly. I walk too fast, run into things, don't pay attention to the desk in front of me, run right into it. I have bruises that I don't remember getting.
 
I am such a klutz. I have crazy falls all the time - on ice, down stairs, in the middle of the street and other random places. I once fell in the middle of 42nd St and Broadway in NYC - and got a round of applause. I also drop things in stores, spill food and drinks, knock over displays. You can't take me anywhere!
 
Angie,
My husband is scared for my life when I am near any machine. (I do too!)
 
Although I can be graceful when I make an effort I am definitely clutz. Kim wrote

And I thought about the gazillion times that I accidently knocked over my cola and then ran into the kitchen to quickly get paper towels, along the way trip over the dog letting the roll fall so it can never be brought back to normal then bend under my desk to clean up and hit my head or sit on a cable and hear my speaker hit my desk. I once had to ask Gurt to help me out with my keyboard because after being subjected to several hits of cola my 'b' key stuck eveytime I used it. So I ended up with sentences like this: It cannot possibbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbly bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbe true, right?
But believe me it can!
 
I have been 5 foot 8 inches since 6th grade, with size 9 feet. It was a growth spurt I have never become comfy with, my feet get in my way, my arms, my legs! I keep waiting for the swan moment! lol
awkward, so I just got more dependent on laughter

LOL Mirjam! Maybe I'm more coordinated than I give myself credit for. :giggle
