...is getting longer. I'm on a mission to puncture/destroy all of my fingertips by the end of the summer. Makes perfect sense since I'm trying to make a living using my hands (as an artist, you perverts!), right?
A few days ago I was working on some jewelry, stringing beads with a big, blunt needle. It got stuck, I pushed really hard... the needle slipped, impaling the nail of my right forefinger and then getting stuck about 1/8-1/4 of an inch (I wasn't exactly measuring it!) into my left forefinger tip. Yeah, don't do that. My hands were stuck together, so I had to pull my pierced nail through the rest of the needle and off the back before I could yank it out of my other finger. (Just so you know, as much as getting stabbed sucks, pulling whatever it is out of your body is a million times worse.) I'll be using thimbles from now on! Icky!!!
Amazingly, I missed all of my little veins and arteries. It didn't bleed at all. It hurt like hell and I nearly passed out (how often do you get two fingers pinned together!?) but there was virtually no blood.
I feel like the star of "Jackass: Home Edition".
