My days as a hand model are over

Feb 15, 2006 07:54

Yesterday I started my day by slicing two of my finger with a steak knife. Incidentally, I use steak knives to cut bagels because they work nicely and are sharp and I sure am not using them for anything else. The one finger would not stop bleeding for 20 minutes. Telehealth Ontario were little help; they simply said to go to the Emergency Room. ( Read more... )

What is it with people and slicing their fingers in situations involving bagels? (My friend Heather did pretty much the exact same thing you just described...:-\) Also, have I ever told you the fun story of how I cut my tendon last year?

ALSO, finally, one of those word things I can do, because I actually, you know, know you. Tee hee! :-)

Ouch! Tendon-cutting sounds way worse. Was it in your finger?

Oh yes. It was my left index finger. See, I'm a retard and don't know how to cook anything at all, and my mom had asked me to make up a really good spinich (spinach? Damn my English skillz :-() salad, and the dressing called for half a clove of garlic. I didn't know what a clove was, and I saw that we had an entire piece of garlic, so I tried cutting it in half. Did you know that you're not supposed to do that? I do now. :-( Anyhoo, I was pressing really hard with the knife, thinking Why isn't this cutting???, when the knife cut the garlic and jumped over my finger. Good times. I think I wrote an entry about it in my LJ after it happened.

Yay! Winning a free hour from the time gods..... WHO STOLE A HALF AN HOUR FROM ME THIS MORNING IN WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME WAS AN ATTEMPT AT A CRUEL, CRUEL JOKE, AND A REPETITION OF LAST WEDNESDAY! I have to LEAVE at 11:00a.m. for my 11:30a.m. class... not GET UP at 11:00a.m.! But my morning-brain just won't recognize it. It just won't!

p.s. yay wordness! I got to experience first hand how I wanted to put a BILLION things for you! But it wouldn't let me and then I hated it. And then I cried. And then I ate a bagel. And then I wrote this comment.

p.p.s. Speaking of bagels, I hope that your fingers are okay!! :( :)

So clearly I did not win an extra hour, I just stole it from you. I apologize muchly.

PS do you use an alarm clock and then shut it off in your sleep? I do that sometimes.

I DEFINITELY do that sometimes. :) And I have my alarm clock all the way across my desk, so that I have to move significantly to turn it off. I can still turn it off in my sleep, but it's much more difficult. And today, I actually woke up enough to hear what it said (it's set to radio) before I turned it off!! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!! It said "finds things at Value Village you won't find anywhere else!" or something. It was pretty cool and spiritual. :)
