Heya! That time again! For the new folks, this thread is a space to tell us about something fun and cool you have going on, vent about something, or find an ear that you may need. Hope you've been well!

Remember, you are loved avoheart

For my own part, while my attention span continues to get worse and worse, im still powering through Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and trying to keep warm. Pretty nasty out where I'm at, and won't get better for another week or so. No leads on the job hunt, but I did start looking into nonprofit stuff and got a few apps out, so thats kind of exciting in and of itself. Partner stayed with me for a few days last week, and am arranging a date with someone I've been seeing around in local leftist/queer/gaming circles. And by date I mean "come watch movies with the pup and I cause we're poor." Or maybe we'll shoot some free pool at a spot by me, who knows.

Lastly - ayyyyy two months without alcohol! I seemed to have swapped it out with a caffeine addiction though, but oh well. More coffee, anyone?

Hope you're doing well, friends!

    I nearly sliced my thumb off today with a razor sharp santoku knife. That was fun. Never try to stop a knife from sliding off the counter onto the floor. Just get the fuck out of its way.

        It didn't come off thankfully, but I definitely sliced some nerves. It cut about a 1/4" deep and I lost a good bit of blood. Did not go to the ER like I really should've.

          Can you still feel it? I lost feeling in one of my fingertips after an incident with a forklift, which is small but annoying sometimes lol

            Somewhat. Very pins and needles feeling and very reduced sensations when touched. Similar to how my left forefinger feels nowadays except much less severe. That's a much worse story for another day though. Let's just say I definitely severed the nerves in that finger.

          One time I cut my hand open trying to cut a squash. Waited about 8 hours for the stitches in the ER and got bored so I drew a pentagram with my blood. That was the most metal thing ill ever have done.

          Glad it wasn't any worse for ya!
