OK, so that's it. That's me. Well...that's not all of me.

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Here, there's pretty much constant thunder, and really bright flashes.
It's raining so hard I can hardly see across the street. There's a river flowing down the street. (Damn- why is my kayak in Britain?!
)
Wow- yeah, flash and bang at exactly the same time. The lights keep dimming aswell.
Jeeeezus
That wasn't just close- that was almost in the house!!!

There is a first for everything, and I've suffered my first really painful poi injury.
Last night, during a performance at a wedding reception, I did a simple move I could normally do in my sleep, but screwed the timing up somewhere mid turn, and ended up with a face full of wick.
I had both my wicks crash into my face, one hitting my upper nose, the other hitting my mouth and lower nose.
I singed my eyelashes on my left eye, and some of my hair, but that's minor.
The bridge of my nose swelled up so much that when I finally managed to look at myself in the mirror, it looked as if I was looking in a fun mirror that stretches body parts out in reflection. I have a nice little cut across the bridge of my nose, too. Oh, and have I mentioned that it hurts?? Actually, it's not as bad as it could be, so long as I don't touch it too much.
It feels solid if I grab both sides of the nose and push...but touching the top of the nose hurts too much. I don't think it's broken, and neither does a friend who's our resident paramedic type.
What felt worse than the nose, though, were the burns on my lips and nostrels. I've got what looks to be a small blister on my lower lip. The nostrels and lips were really painful last night whenever I took the ice off. I coated them in aloe and solacaine, trying desperately to keep the stuff out of my mouth.
Mand was a sweetheart and played nurse quite well. Unfortunately, I was feeling too pathetic to take advantage of it.
I'm at work, reluctantly. I'm dead tired, but ah well...
