I... may have gotten stuck by a couch. >.>.... So this is what happened. I put a short and long version. Lol. Long version: I was at home sitting on our couch. It is a large tan leather couch that wraps around and can easily sit 6. Needless to say, it is very heavy. I'm 20 and it would be hard for me to move without help, unless maybe I dragged it on the ground after taking it apart into 2 big sections. So, 3 of the seats recline back and two off them are close to the wall and once reclined, are probably less than half a foot away from the wall. Sometimes I like to sit cross legged on the couch, put the footrest up and use the footrest to hold my computer. I did this but then realized my adapter wasn't plugged in, and so I reached back behind the section of couch I was sitting in and started to plug in the cord when suddenly the couch reclined, and because I was leaning on the backside with one arm behind the couch, it trapped my arm against the wall. I was straining to reach the outlet and so I was already stretching my arm as far down as I could with my head shoved against the wall when the very top edge of the couch pinned right under my armpit to the wall. I couldn't lean back at all and all my weight was pressing the couch against my arm. In most cases I could have stood up and kinda wiggled the chair and have it un-recline, but the sections on this couch almost lock into place once they are reclined. You have to scoot to the very edge of the seat and push your full weight on the front for it to un-recline. I thought about trying to shove the footrest back down to make it go to the regular position, but my computer was on it and I would have shoved my computer to the ground. (that is, if I could even reach the far enough with my foot to push down on the foot rest, which I doubt I could have) I was stuck. I tried pulling straight up, but my bicep wouldn't fit through and when i tried pulling up my elbow would hit the wall. Plus, it hurt sliding my arm past the couch with all my weight pressed too it. My arm started to fall asleep and no matter how I moved, which isn't saying a lot considering I could hardly move, it wouldn't unpin my arm. I tried to push against the wall, but only my left arm was free and I would have had to been able to push a giant couch and me to be able to free my arm. Well you know of those stories of incredible strength were the mom lifts a car off her child? This one not such a case. Although, I didn't try very hard considering I didn't want to put a hole in the wall. -_- I did try and push a little to let me weight off, but me standing on the seat kept it from moving back anyways. So, I just ended up painfully dragging my arm past the little spot between the wall and the couch. My bicep hurts from yesterday still and there is a mark along the wall were I dragged the paint away by my arm. lol Short version: I reclined my couch and it pinned my arm to the wall and couldnt un-recline it and just had to rip my arm out ver

i watched the 2-hour-long bachelor finale last night because my friend cancelled plans on the last minute. i'm not sure if that's a fail though, or just really pathetic on my behalf...

The most fail i had was when i was trying to light a blunt and apparently the whole thing fell apart. So when it was starting to burn the grass i had to stomp it out and try to find the remains of the weed ._. ... i knoe its a epic fail.
