Odd markings on my hand...
The other day I wanted to print off a picture as a CD cover for a CD I was burning, but since the printer ink cartridge was running low on every ink colour except red, and because the picture was mainly green, I decided to change the ink cartridge. As it turned out after I finished making the cover, there was a lot more blue than I thought still left in the ink cartridge and a little more yellow. So, what did I do having found that out? Played with it, of course! It looked pretty cool, staining paper with the ink, so I made a bookmark out of it. I'll scan the bookmark and show you later, it took me ages to do.
Anyway, making the bookmark involved me pressing some paper to the little holes where the ink leaks out and naturally, a lot got onto my hand. Umm, well my fingertips anyway. And there was still a fair bit of ink left on my hand when I'd finished making the bookmark, so I thought, "Well, this is getting washed off anyway, why don't I have some fun with it?" and ran the cartridge down my hands, creating beautiful pink and blue and yellow streaks. And umm..it didn't wash off that night. I got it off the next night, but not without my thumbtip becoming oddly dried out. And today, two small dots have mysteriously appeared on my left palm! Red dots that seem curiously like internal pricking of some sort. Has anyone really proved what vampires look like? Is it possible they're tiny and can heal over the first layer of skin when they've bitten someone? And must they absolutely bite people on the neck? I think we've reached an interesting discovery....vampires are attracted to ink cartridge ink! Well, the pink and blue streaks did look a little like blood and veins..if you squinted your eyes and used your imagination.
