and a text funny for those who can't click links. Ganked from B3ta's "stories of desperation" qotw

"This is a friend's act of desperation, but also an act of pathetic genius. He wanted a cat. His mother didn't want a cat about the house. So he bought a kitten, and just before bringing it home, he poured water all over it. Then he told her that someone had put it in a bag and thrown it in a river. She felt so sorry for the wee kitty she let him keep it. He was 26 at the time." (Dr Preference)

Swift-healing~ma for Drew's foot.

Laga? That's some desperation. t insert obligatory "only way for that guy to get pussy" joke here

Is it Christmas?

What's funny about that page is the answer is hardcoded.

We are home. ND's doctor apparently couldn't find the splinter, though he hacked away at his foot. Said doctor also apparently had a lazy eye. Oh dear.

My suspicion is that he removed the splinter without even knowing it. The splinter was white--almost the same color as the callous of ND's heel--and I barely could see it even after trying to get it out for half an hour.

Nonetheless. Oh dear.

Also, I have to get up in five hours, and I'm not remotely sleepy. This could be a serious problem.

Ugh Kristin & ND. Glad the ordeal is over. I'm really tired but I don't have to be up early so you can have my sleepiness.

Yikes! ND! WTF? Here's to your heal healing fast.

ION. You'll never guess what I did tonight. I was sitting around playing xbox when I got a page from a rather Cute Graphics Girl. Asking what I was up to. Invited me over for some hanging out. There were 4 of us. We hung out. We chatted. They put in "Mrs Henderson Presents" [link] While watching said movie, I did this: [link] Yup, I knitted about 4" of soon-to-be-scarf. And doing pretty well, I might add. Two strings together even.

Foot-ma, ND. If there is any bit of splinter left in the foot, soaking it in warm water with epsom salt will help to bring it to the surface.

Can someone make the rain stop so I can sleep? So hurty.

At least once a year I toy with the notion of dying my hair red. Thus far it's never actually, you know, happened, but the notion does keep coming back.

So - drawing upon the Hivemind, what do we know about dying hair which is naturally a dirty blonde shade, and currently - more by art than nature - a fairly light/golden blonde shade?

See, I just sort of expect it to go horribly wrong, and be pink or carrot-coloured, which would be heartbreakingly awful.

I'm not quite sure what shade of red, incidentally - I'm thinking maybe Scully, or whatsername from Six Feet Under. But open to suggestions.

(And quite possibly going to bottle out of doing it. But...one never knows.)

Oh, Nora! I’m so sorry!

Oh, ick. Poor Sean and S.

My appointment is Tuesday.

Oh, thank goodness! You’ve waited so long for this. I hope it’s helpful.

Poor Drew! And Ginger!

People! Stop with the puking and the getting hurt. Not a good day in Bitches.

sj, I hope you’re getting some good sleep.
