So, I'm kinda clumsy.
I tripped when I walked across the stage to receive my high school diploma, knocked down a ladder that was supporting my dad, and sneezed into a wall. Yup, you read that right. I sneezed myself into a wall.
So maybe I am a walking train-wreck trapped in a lanky twenty-two-year-old girl's body. At least my family loves me-tolerates me might be a better way of phrasing it-but even with my clumsiness I'm still able to get by with minimal craziness and just a whole lot of embarrassment. A whole lot.
That is until the fateful September day I find myself chasing a chicken into a wedding cake. My sister's wedding cake. . . on her wedding day. . . in the middle of the reception. . . in front of two hundred other guests.
I've got a new number one on my list of embarrassing moments, but this time I swear it wasn't my fault. I blame that chicken, my grandma, and the stupid bowtie she put on it, probably hoping to marry me off, so she can have the best man all to herself.
Okay, fine, so maybe it was totally my fault, but. . . This is how it happened

Before I Turn 30
I never meant to heat him up like this-now he won't stop. I swear, if he sucks on my neck for another 8 seconds, it'll be my end... I am Ynes Candela, 29, single since 21, and have forgotten what romance felt like. But tonight, because I'm turning 30 tomorrow, I made a decision to try romance for the last time before finally giving up to be a 'single independent tita' for the rest of my life. Just like Cinderella, before 12:00PM, if no one still manages to drop these red-soled shoes from my feet-including my panty, of course-I'll be officially joining the single tita gang. But honestly, this is just probably my last desperate attempt to tell myself in the mirror that I'll never be young again. I never wanted parties, but tonight, I'll do it just to make myself believe that 'I tried.' I took that ancient black dress I wore to an engagement party of mine years ago-that's before I realized I was being fooled-nostalgic. With that dress, I drove off to hit the club.

Just the three of us...
*18+ Mature themes and language* Little did Alice know when she started a part time job in a hotel that it would end up changing her life. The tattooed boy and blue haired girl rescued her from a life her father had forced upon her, and together they could take on the world. * * * * * * "Tag! You're such a dick!" Two guys are stood in the doorway, one with a red stain on the front of his chef whites and a bowl on the floor in between his feet, shaking his head. He looks about thirty, with dark stubble covering his lower face, dark short hair peppered with white hair. The other guy catches my attention more. He is almost doubled over laughing at his friend, and has the cutest dimples. His hair is dark blonde, shaved up the sides but long in a strip down the center of his head. His ears have several piercings, with a large patterned gauge at the bottom lobe of each ear. There are tattoos just showing on his neck and arms from underneath his top. And in his arms is a platter with a huge carrot cake on top. "My bad Sammy" the blonde manages to get out between chuckles. "I'll clean it up in a second." He saunters over to me and leans past to put down the cake, winking up at me. "Gotta love a man who can bake, huh?" I feel my cheeks burn as I look into his blue eyes. "Um.....I guess...." I squeak.Complete
