Supporting my theory that we'll just be talking in acronyms soon thanks to the Internet, along comes the microblog F My Life, or FML. If you are the type to laugh at others' pain and embarassment, such as someone falling down, this microblog is the Internet treasure trove of falling-down stories.
Examples:
"Today, I fell flat on my ass while running for the subway. Made it on only to find out that it was standing by for ten minutes. I then got to ride all the way to work with a train full of people who watched me fall. FML"
"Today, I was in one of those lucid half sleeps with my boyfriend. Not fully awake to control myself, I ripped ass. I had no idea what to do. I pretended to still be sleeping. I'm pretty sure he noticed because he patted me on the back in a congratulatory sort of way. FML"
"Today, a toddler's play ball rolled over to me in the park. I playfully pitched it to him as his parents watched from afar. The ball hit him in the face. FML"
"Today, my cat fell into the toilet, jumped out, and ran straight to my bed. FML"
Gotta say, I'm not proud, but I love FML.
