Again, I wind up hurting myself in ways that should not be possible by the laws of nature. Murphy's Law is a bee-yatch, and I would like to give it the finger. I know some of you will laugh when you read this...

I managed to hurt myself...with a ruler. Yes, a ruler. Drew blood. From my face, right above my lip.

Har har har, laugh all you want. I swear to God, I'm turning into Vixie...

This happened because I picked up Steve's ruler, stuck my pen through the hole in the end of it, and started swinging it over my head like a helicopter. I knew this was gonna result in damage, I knew I would hit myself--I just didn't expect the corner of the metal ruler to catch me in the face.

Well, everyone laughs...until I move my hand away from my face and realize that there is blood on my fingers. So yeah, I drew blood from myself with a goddamned ruler. Vixie laughed all the way to the bathroom to clean me up--and for some reason, she swears it was cute?!? Ayiyiyiyi...

In other news, I got a 99/100 on my big interview paper in Structure and Philosophy, and now I'm working on the S&P project of DOOM. It's a book presentation, and my visual aid looks really dorky. But I think she'll love it, and she will probably give me points for putting effort into this. At least I'm going beyond the PowerPoint idea.

She told us we were going to do all the presentations on Monday (i.e. yesterday) and Wednesday (aka tomorrow). Weeeeeeeell, there's twenty people in the class, and we got through...oh...four presentations yesterday. I don't think we'll be making it through sixteen presentations in a fifty minute class. Rar.

And then tomorrow, my night belongs to the Ed Psych research paper rough draft of Despair, and then I'll have the Philosophy of Education paper rough draft of Death (also for S&P), and then the Theory Analysis of Mild-Discomfort-That-Feels-A-Lot-Like-Heartburn...you get the idea.

Choir tour this weekend. Three days in Chicago. Thank you, GOD!! I have behaved myself all year, and I look forward to getting nice and buzzed, and then trying to play Apples to Apples when I'm all nice and giggly. I don't drink very often, but the couple of times I've gotten a wee bit tipsy (never falling down drunk), I tend to get veeeeeeeeery happy, and I also develop a great love of EVERYBODY! My friends still laugh at my one from last year--curled up on the couch, buzzed as a bee, watching TV. A KFC commercial comes on, and I get this huge, dopey smile on my face and declare, "...I like fried chicken!"

That was when Andrew took the glass out of my hand and told me I was done--which was fine by me. I was planning on stopping after that fourth Purple Rain, anyway. We had a performance the next day, and singing with a hangover just doesn't seem very intelligent. I slept like a baby, and felt great when I woke up.

...ya know, I was just gonna type this entry about smacking myself in the head with a ruler and making myself bleed, and it completely digressed. But as I told my friend Rachel, I don't do these things on purpose. Hurting myself with a ruler, stapling my finger to a bulletin board...I don't TRY to make myself bleed! It just kinda happens!

Vixie, you're rubbing off on me, and I will get you for it *grins*

Luvs and hugs,

Hey, look out for those rulers! They strike when you least expect it! Too bad my brother's theater company isn't doing a show right now. I would have told you all to go and see them!

watch out for plotting office supplies...

It sounds like those office supplies are out to get you. They've probably been plotting for years to find some way to get back at you for some perceived injustice you might have caused them years and years ago. I'd watch the rubber cement next...might try to make you go unconscious and fall and hit your head leading to yet more blood. Tis a conspiracy I tell you...

Ouch! LOL

LOL, well that's what you get for making the poor ruler all dizzy like that. Just think if you had spun the pen around, wow, pens are very vengeful you know...LOL.:D Anyway, sorry to hear you hurt yourself. Going to Chicago will make it all better though, so no worries. If it makes you feel any better, I did something strange like that once (ONCE?? LOL), I scared myself with my own bookbag. I'll have to tell ya that story next time I'm over there. Anyway, good luck with the presentations and things. Oh, and I would avoid stapling papers or going for rides in helicopters. SORRY, had to say it. :D Take care!

Rubber cement?!? *cringes* One of these days, I'm going to somehow manage to duct tape myself to the ceiling or something, I swear...

And I bet you're right, it probably is a conspiracy. I could write a third-rate novel about that...Harry Potter and the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy...or something :)

I just gotta make sure I never go hunting or skydiving, and I think I'll be a-okay. Oh yeah, and never walk into a Staples' store. I have a feeling things will jump off the wall and attack me.

Cass signed onto AIM last night, and the first thing she said to me was "HAHA! You hurt yourself with a ruler!!" Ayiyiyiiiiii...

Note to self: NEVER go bungee-jumping...or scuba-diving or anything...and maybe I should consider avoiding planes...

Sounds like a good plan, lol. As for walking into a Staples', I'd be careful there too. Send out a scout first and make sure the items aren't hostile. :D I'm kind of a jinx when I go into stores though, mostly one's where there are breakable things on the shelves. One time I bumped some glass thing and caught it just before it hit the floor. The friend I was with said nothing more than "I can't take you ANYWHERE, can I?", to which I responded, "Depends on how much stuff you want broken." LOL. Hope you're feelin' better! :)

If you duct taped yourself to the ceiling, I would totally show up and take pictures. Sorry, that just sounds hilarious! Now I'm the sort of person who would accidently glue my head to a table...

I would demand copies of the pictures *grin*

Of course, if you did glue your head to the table, I would take pictures as well...random thought--remember when we were in SYC together, and I took The Masterpiece Photo of you with your eyes crossed and your tongue hanging out? I don't know why I just thought of that...wish I knew where that photo ended up, that was so lovely... :)

well I don't know what to say except you are lucky it wasn't a real helachoptor. It would have done a lot worse but glad you are doing fine.
