I ran into someone tonight on the way home.

LITERALLY.

It was kind of awesome though. I only meant to run a few yards, because I was trying to get past this crowd of IDIOT TOURISTS (they had maps) so I could get to the El before they decided to stand in front of it. She was running somewhere obviously important in the opposite direction, and we just went bam! into each other. And neither of us fell down! It was like physics in action. Possibly because both of us saw it coming and put our hands up.

Okay that part was unfortunate.

I do feel like I should post to Missed Connections on Craigslist. "Ran into you on State today. From the brief glimpse I had, you're cute! Sincerely sorry I grabbed your boob. Promise if you want to run into me again I'll be a gentleman."

You totally should post that ad. Especially the boob part. LOL

[vivichick.livejournal.com]

Adorable, Sam.
I wish some sweet, geeky boy would run into my boob :)

[thorinsmistress.livejournal.com]

IAWTC. :-D

Speaking as someone who is really badly cordinated - a fallover rather than a pushover - always be careful when falling toward someone, especially if he (or she) is sitting down.

Putting out hands to ward off the impact can mean much less physical trauma, but at the cost of much more psychological trauma (and, just possibly, arrest - although I've always managed to avoid that myself.)

Ahaha, DOOOO EEEEET. XD

DO IT.

*dies laughing*

You totally should, dude. How else will you cover your bets in case it's one of those crazy things where you knew each other in kindergarten or she's the love of your life or something? ;-)

[light-of-summer.livejournal.com]

Good idea! :D May I offer a suggested edit that might go over even better, and has the virtue of making a more realistic promise?

"Ran into you on State today. From the brief glimpse I had, you're cute! Sincerely sorry I accidentally put my hand on your breast. Promise I'll be a gentleman if I ever encounter you in less perilously rushed circumstances. Thanks for helping save me from a fall! --Sam (who remembers his broken wrist of 2009 all too well)"

GLAD YOU'RE OK!

That's...that's adorable.

It almost sounds like the beginning of a romantic comedy, but I hope that you are spared such wacky shenanigans. Because real-life romantic comedies don't seem to work, at least in my life...

The incident I'm thinking of was a few weeks ago, where I was picking up a friend from the airport to surprise her boyfriend (another of my friends) for his birthday. The person who drove me and I made jokes about being the wacky sidekicks in a romantic comedy the whole time.

Her plane was 3 hours late. Shenanigans = not so wacky.

Also, I'm a lesbian, so I have yet to be cast as the main character in a romantic comedy, to my knowledge. XD (Might've changed, I don't watch romantic comedies unless my sister or mom makes me as a matter of course.)

[lots42.livejournal.com]

The sidekicks always hook up in romantic comedies!

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

Well, not M and I. She's a very good friend dating another very good friend of mine, and while she is attractive, I'm not interested in her like that. XD

We did go have crepes while waiting for the female protagonist. Does that count?

(M and I do pretend to be a couple on a strangely consistent basis, when her boyfriend's not around. Sometimes when he is, actually. And yet...nothing ever actually happens without both of us going, 'ewwww!' and acting like ten-year-olds. It's sort of hilarious.)

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

Try watching Imagine Me And You! It has one lesbian and one probably-bisexual as its hilarious shennanigans leads!

[3-ravens-flying.livejournal.com]

Okay, gotta say, you should watch "Imagine Me and You", which does indeed have a lesbian couple (eventually) as the main pairing and is a romantic comedy. I won't say anything else about it in case you decide to watch it, but I thought it was both funny (it has Anthony Stewart Head as the absent-minded dad! and it has dry British humour!) and romantic.

[utopia83.livejournal.com]

There's Imagine You and Me, watcheable, but not so good. :(

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's three references for Imagine You and Me. O.o

[utopia83.livejournal.com]

It's Piper Perabo. That's all I've got. (Also, there's Lost and Delirious, but...it's more about being confused schoolgirls than anything else.)

[knittinggoddess.livejournal.com]

My favorite lesbian romantic comedy is Saving Face (http://www.afterellen.com/archive/ellen/Movies/savingface.html). The pickings for good romances, comedy or not, are slim where queer women are concerned.

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

Sadly, this is too often the case. -sigh- Thanks for the recommendation though!

[bluebombardier.livejournal.com]

Possibly because both of us saw it coming and put our hands up.

Would've been awesome if this resulted in some high-fives.

[jade-mushroom.livejournal.com]

that's happened to me actually.... lol.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

It was a kind of cool body slam...

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHA! She is probably thinking 'better an accidentally groped boob than a crack on he head! And at least he looked mortified ...'

[redstapler.livejournal.com]

That sounds like some derby practices I've had.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

God, can you imagine me on roller skates? I'm a derby all on my own.

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

...in the unlikely circumstance that you and I ever meet, I propose for our main activity Not Roller Skating.

Every time I've done it, it's ended in disaster. When I was a small child, it was scraped knees and elbows about thirty seconds after I put them on. In elementary school, it was a sprained wrist. In middle school, it was a broken tailbone.

I haven't been roller skating since that last one.

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

Post it! You never know who you'll meet in response, LOL!

[i-amsherlocked.livejournal.com]

It's our household term for nursing too! How old is your nursling?

[i-amsherlocked.livejournal.com]

He's 2. My other three weaned themselves around two and a half, but I think he's going to try for longer, lol.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

If we lived in a Romantic Comedy world, you'd be getting laid in a week. Quick, do you have any balding, overweight sidekicks? (Because god forbid, they ever get the romantic lead)

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

While not balding or overweight, up until this afternoon I was pretty sure I was the sidekick (I have the glasses and debilitating lack of coordination for it).

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's textbook Romantic Comedy lead right there.

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

Great, now I'm picturing Hugh Grant.... -facepalm-

[lokifan]

Sam didn't spill orange juice on her, but he does love books :)

[dreamwaffles.livejournal.com]

This is truth!

[tardis-stowaway.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Lack of coordination is a Cute Minor Flaw, so it's up there with tendency to put one's foot in one's mouth as a classic trait of romcom leads.

[maeritrae.livejournal.com]

If that's the case, she's probably R's latest conquest's nerdy best friend and confidante. You should ask him if he's engaged in some unrequited lovin'.

[i-amsherlocked.livejournal.com]

You should definitely post it! :) (It's too cute not to!)

[imagines.livejournal.com]

I believe that's what they call a meet cute. :p

One of the funniest things to happen to me as an undergrad does relate to accidental boob-touching. My brother is huge; 6'4", does one-armed chin-ups, and somewhat (but not overly) protective of me. He took a year out after school, so we were in the same year at Uni but doing different courses.

One day I had gone looking for him/some of his friends in one of the computer labs. I walked into the room just behind one of his friends, who was in the middle of an extremely emphatic conversation with someone else, and was jabbing his finger sternly. I didn't want to interrupt, so he didn't realise I was standing behind him when he turned around to storm out, finger still extended to jab. Sometime during undergrad my boobs went from "well-endowed" to "humorously oversized", and (you guessed it!) his finger wound up buried in my left boob. I wasn't offended, because it was clearly an accident, but the guy took one look at me, realised who I was, realised he had just poked my brother's sister's boob, panicked, screamed, and ran past me out of the building.

I vote with everyone else-post it!

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Hahaha!
DO IIIIT.
