Yay head trauma
I sustained a minor head injury today while biking to class. Basically I wasn't paying attention and I crashed into someone while trying to turn left, with the result that I fell off my bike and hit my head on the pavement. This hurt like fuck and I bled all over myself. Because being a dumbshit college student, I wasn't wearing a helmet. There was literally blood dripping out of my hair and smeared all over my face. Obviously head wounds bleed a fuck ton even if they aren't serious, but this was still kind of terrifying. Also, I was in intense pain and felt like my brain was possibly oozing out of my skull, so I was pretty much freaking the fuck out. A kindly spectator called 911 and I was taken to the hospital by paramedics who were not REMOTELY as hot as the ones who showed up in Barcelona when I fainted at the top of La Pedrera. Then after a little while I calmed down and a nurse wiped some of the blood off of me, and everyone figured out that I wasn't dying. Fortunately, I turned out not to have a concussion or anything, but I missed four classes and my favorite skirt and coat now have massive bloodstains on them. It was not my best day.
Also, every time I try to clean the blood out of my hair, the cut reopens and bleeds more, making my efforts futile. They couldn't give me stitches because it's really more of a scrape than a cut apparently, which means that I'm just going to be stuck with bloody hair for the next couple of days. Awesome.
In other news, I just finished reading The Bone Key by Sarah Monette. Imagine my horror when I discovered that the protagonist is an extremely tall, socially awkward man with prematurely white hair who really likes books. (Also, he likes dudes. Duh. This is Sarah Monette.)
THIS ONE IS NOT MY FAULT. I can't be accused of plagiarizing a book I've never read. But like, WHAT IS HAPPENING? AM I BRAIN TWINS WITH THIS WOMAN?
In the unlikely event that my novel is ever published, everyone is going to think that it is some sort of giant Sarah Monette crossover fanfic. Maybe I should just give up and add some telepathic wolf orgies to complete the set.
