Just a quick post to let you know I’m still alive. Or am I . . . ? (Yes, I am.)
Also, I felt like sharing that I just stubbed the shit out of my big toe and it started bleeding. A lot. But that’s not the point of the story that I want to share with you. The point is that as all that blood was running down my toe onto my flip-flop, as I looked down and saw that almost the entire left half of my toenail had detached from my toe, it was only my third thought that I should probably wash it off or get a band-aid or something. My second thought was, Oh! What a pretty shade of red!
My first thought? Motherfucker, there goes my pedicure.
Read into this post what you will.
(Oh, and P.S. for all you contest winners, I’m shipping your goodies at the end of this week, so watch your mailboxes for books and cookies. Please try to ignore that I’m writing about cookies and blood in the same post, even though I’ve just made it kind of hard for you to do that by pointing it out. Guess I don’t really care though because I didn’t delete it.)
What I read into these thoughts is that despite being foul-mouthed, completely obsessed with sci-fi and a little disgusting from time to time, there’s still at least some girly-girl in our beloved Ashley.
Firstly, I think a lot of people are gross, and probably a lot of them are way grosser than I am. I’m just actually willing to admit it.
Secondly, who says being gross and morbid and loving sci-fi is mutually exclusive with being girly? I am vast! I contain multitudes!
Make no mistake, none of those things was being listed as a negative. In fact, they can all be considered somewhat endearing in this case. It’s just that they are typically not seen as girly, and the girly side is not one you show here as often as the others (discussion of actors in movies/tv shows you watch excluded).
I know, I’m just giving you a hard time :)
Blood-red really is exquisite.
I’m glad somebody else is just as gross as I am.
Any time. You should hear some of the disgusting conversations Joe and I have. They are not safe for the internet.
I would pay admission to hear some of those conversations.
Thank you so much for the books and cookies! http://i46.tinypic.com/qzq45s.jpg
