to step on another's toes

to step on another's toes:  to offend or insult someone, as if causing physical pain.

I'm supposed to be NSOing at Wednesday night's scrimmage right now, but meh. I have a headache. So I'm being lame and hibernating in my cave.  I've decided to blog...you, know, to look right at a bright computer screen that's just making my headache ten-fold worse. How smart, I am.  Anyhow, today in step aerobics we cooled down to this song:



I'm a fan. I also adore adore adore her dress.

so answer me this, anyone and everyone, "who do you think you are?"  Have you ever considered the damage you've done to others? The hearts broken, the toes trampled on, the spirits crushed. 

I remember, it must have been my junior year of high school, coming into chemistry ready to work on my lab and vent pent up cynicism to my wonderful and dear friend Desiree.  Instead, I was met with "fuck you."  I had no idea why she was pissed at me, but "fuck" and "you" were the only two words she would say to me.  And, trust me, you need a bigger vocabulary in order to do any sort of scientific work.  I was completely, entirely, utterly oblivious. What had I done? Why was she mad, and mad at me alone? Needless to say, we did not pass that lab.  Had I been more conscious of the ways in which I effect others, we would have passed that damn lab.  Just something to think about.
