But now you get to say casually, "Yeah, I sprained my ankle climbing a volcano." Which is cool.
Exactly! Instead of saying "Yeah, I don't know how I sprained my ankle" and sounding super-clueless.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Oh, I'm totally happy to have the volcano story, because last time I had to wear an ACE bandage on my ankle for weeks, I'd tripped over a suitcase.

You should use the volcano for ny future stories. Just say "I sprained my ankle on a volcano" and don't specify whether that is the current injury.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What -t says but way more general. "Oh, that's my volcano injury" will be good forever AND you aren't specifying any particular (and possibly visible) body part.

Not a volcano injury!
I read Ask A Manager, and today they are talking about choosing college majors. Someone recommended taking a test to find out your "Holland Code", which I did even though I am not choosing a major. Mine is ASI (Artistic, Social and Investigative), which makes a lot of sense. Also, there are, like 2 jobs for that type (Drama Teacher and English Teacher)! I think though that they might not have theatre jobs classified right, because I think that that type is probably the right type for designers/directors.

GODDAMNIT TINO.
On top of everything else this week, my neighbor (in the same building) has bedbugs. The neighbor where we get ALL of Aeryn's clothes because they have a daughter 18 months older than her.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay! glasses! Boo! bedbugs!
I'm balanced on SO wanting this day to be over, and trying to stuff about four more hours into it, needed to finish what I'm working on. I know, impossible. I don't care. Somebody, make it so.
