deli meat slicers aren't toys
Relax. I wasn't actually playing around with one...just bent my thumb in a wrong way at the wrong second and took a chunk of skin off the top of the knuckle. yay, blue band aids of shame! @_0
So my love life has gone in circles, squares and over brick walls. yeah, I said over. Through would have been a bit painful, and I'm not wasting C4 on such a thing when I just climb over it.
My faith has gone in different directions than what I was expecting.
It's been interesting. To say none the least. Forcing yourself to identify patterns of self-sabotage and admitting to them, not fun. But done. Several times over the past few months.
It is a highly frustrating fact, that humans are hard-wired to learn shit the hard way. We have to experience of some kind, on some level, in order to learn lessons. Be it physically painful (like turn off the machine) or emotionally painful, like learning a lesson by someone else's mistake and having to see them suffer and being in pain because you can't stop it. Pain, though a bitch, seems to be a normal part of human learning. Something that everyone has to deal with.
Sobering thought that went through my mind as I was pouring alcohol over my thumb today. Another sobering thought was that I'm highly accident prone when under stress. Probably not a good combination when one is talking to a guard recruiter soon and strongly considering finally joining up.
