I am not a ninja

the quieter I try to be, it seems, the more noise I wind up making. So I was trying to get ready for school, and my roommate Dan is trying to fall back to sleep. He's been under the weather lately and staying in bed a lot. So as I try to grab my pencil lead:

the pencilcase falls oevr and spiils everything onto the carpet
the alarm clock falls victim to the shower of schol utensils and moves,
sliding down the back of the TV, making a horrible noise all the way
the shoebox that was near the pencilcase decides to join the free-for-all
The antenna on my TV falls forward, yanking the cable until it gets taut and then clangs on the Tv screen, and, to add insult to injury
then Dan groans, defeating the stealthyness attempt altogether.

Needless to say it didn't turn out too well. But such is life. I really should start on my homeowrk. I mean really.
