Oh my goodness, I want to smack the internet in the face right now. xD

Yesterday my friend insisted that I get a furaffinity account even though I don't draw furry because "it's easy to get commissions there", apparently. I'm actually super-ashamed to be mentioning this outside of the website. Or to other people for that matter. After setting up my account there, I checked in on some of the other art websites I haven't been to in a while. I have so many messages and deadness everywhere. Sheezyart and Storm Artists.net were the most neglected ones, but nobody is on Storm Artist's anyways, so whatever. I need to designate a day of the week for internet messages or something, it is just crazy. Either that or drop a few... but I don't have the heart to do that. xD

Plus super-awesome story that you guys get to hear first! I lost my exacto-knife virginity... lol.
On Monday I was doing some very very very very last-minute cutting for this 2D Design project and I.... jeez, this is giving me the creeps just thinking about it again. >,< I was holding down the ruler with my one hand, and slicing with my other, and my cut wasn't straight at the end on my project. I went back to cut it again, and it did the same thing... straight for the most part but crooked at the one end. So I decided to try a third time... very hard and very fast--(oh no!!) and my index finger was placed just so on the ruler that it got caught in the line of fire. (Very very very not-smart)

I happened to be right next to a sink, so I just dropped everything and ran to it without even thinking. Then I glimpsed at my finger for TWO SECONDS while I was running it under the water, and started freaking out. xD;;; There was a line, A LINE through my fingernail, and lots of blood. My friend Erin happened to be there, and kept a cool head and ran me over to the campus health center.
We got to the front desk and Erin told the secretary that I had cut myself pretty bad, and then I looked down at the wad of paper towels that my hand was in, and they were pretty much red. ;; According to the nurse later on, she heard my voice before the secretary's when she intercommed her.
"OHGODTHAT'SALOTOFBLOOD"
"Nurse Durland...?"

So yeah... these two very nice old ladies attended to my finger and kept me laughing the whole time. The cut was too small for stitches, so they put this self-adheering foamgel stuff on it and then wrapped it up to all heck. It's a small cut, but it's bad because I pretty much sliced my nail in half. x_X The doctor doesn't remember if I sliced through my cuticle or not... but if I did, it means my nail is going to grow funny forever. xD;; Not that I give uh shit but um.... yeahhhh. She also said that the nerve endings in my fingers may or may not heal normally. So my finger might also possibly feel weird forever. xDDDDD She liked using the word "forever", but something tells me I'm not gonna live that long.

It doesn't hurt so much anymore now which is good... and I can still function. After being in the health center for an hour or so, I went right back to the art building and continued to work on my project. xDDDD I just cut a lot more slowly and carefully that time. I want to mount the exacto knife eventually.

So ummmm yeah... I'm going to post some sketchbook stuff here just to show that I am not dead. Horribly maimed finger-wise, but not dead.
