Strugglebucket Struggles

The name "Strugglebucket" was given to me by one of my best friends as a somewhat mocking term of endearment.  Very early on in our friendship,  he noticed and was fascinated (and quite frankly amused) by the level of difficulty I have doing the simplest of things.

The phrase I might hear from him most often is "What did you do..."  This is no longer a question, really; its tone very clearly suggests that a more appropriate interpretation might be "I know you did something stupid and I'm coming to you in case it's something worth catching on film."  The fact that he is not with me at the time of this "What did you do..." non-question, and must come looking for me, is also indicative of the fact that I make a lot of startled noises, a lot of the time.  Or crashing noises, depending on the Struggle in question.

I have embraced the moniker, mocking though it may be, because it is also pretty damn accurate.  I spend most of my time just falling up and down stairs and tripping over invisible items and knocking full drinking glasses off tables and getting my hair caught in things (it's really long, okay?), but there have been some pretty epic and catastrophic Struggles in my long and varied career, and no doubt I will only continue taking my Strugglebucketry skills to ever higher echelons of phailure.  I only hope to document some of them here for posterity, in case I ultimately Struggle my way to a horrible accidental death.
