Tonight's thoughts.
Sep. 26th, 2003 03:09 amGah, no rest for the weary tonight. So much to do before I leave, and I'm going to lie down and try to get four hours, 'cause it's better than none.
Thumb hurts very little. That's something Luns noted about burns, is that they hurt like the dickens for a bit, and then they suddenly stop hurting. Not like other wounds where pain is sorta less and less and gone. Burns are more like OWOWOWFUCKOWOW...wait, it doesn't hurt anymore. There's still a slight remnant of a blister on the pad of the finger, but otherwise, it seems to look mostly normal. And I'm not wearing a bandage on it right now (I'll put a fresh one on before I wander out. The doc told me to keep it somewhat clean the next few days but to otherwise let air get to it as much as possible.)
Hee, looking at it, I can still see the nick in that thumb where I cut it open with an exacto knife in physics my junior year of HS. That's cool. :)
open apology for
zibblsnrt. I'm sorry for turning off the laptop when Luns showed up without saying goodnight or anything, I wasn't really thinking about what I was doing. But I love you, always and forever. </sappy>
a thanks to those of you who have stuck by me through thick and thin, I don't think I need to know names, 'cause if it applies to you, I think ye know. :) I might get more specific one of these days, when I'm not desperately in a time crunch.
and a note to myself not to attempt to be nice to some folks 'cause they just don't want or appreciate it.
and that's about it. Yet another action packed weekend ahead of me! whee. kill me now.
tonight you fly so high up in the vanilla sky

Date: 2003-09-26 07:18 am (UTC)Although I got mine in junior high or elementary school. It was when I had my first computer, a Commodore 64, with the separate 5.25" floppy drive. Like many of them, mine had overheating problems, so another computer-geek friend gave me an external fan to set on top of the drive to help cool it off.
Well, one day I went to turn off the disk drive (the on/off switch was on the back), and felt a little *thwak* on my thumb, and thought nothing of it. Turned off the drive, unplugged the fan, and went about my business. However, my thumb still kinda tingled, so I looked...
OWDAMMIT! I'd cut my thumb wide open! I mean, I could see down into the muscle striations; this was one deep cut. Funny thing is, though...it didn't bleed, and it didn't hurt until I looked at it. ^_^ I put a band-aid on it, and had fun lifting up the band-aid at school to gross out all my friends. :D
To this day, though, I have about an inch-long scar on my right thumb, which kind of itches from time to time.
And that's the truth. *thpppt* ^_^
