They’re So Crusty
… But at least they aren’t stuck together. I managed to superglue six out of ten fingers, and though I made sure I didn’t at least press them together, I’m now left with most crusty and rough digits. I have worship practice tomorrow morning, and I wonder if crusty fingers will affect my guitar playing. It’ll give me added excuse should I slip up on the solos, I guess. “Sorry, my fingers are… crust-ed.”
Blame it on the most ungrateful one, who, whilst unwrapping a number of gifts I had picked out for the Christmas-birthday (the dates are very close) period, remarked that it’d “be nice if there were something handmade” amongst them. WHAT? Handmade stuff is for secondary school kids who can’t afford schmancy gifts. And those who like to show off their handicraft.
Though I can’t afford as schmancy a gift as one might expect from the previous statement which might’ve come across as pompous, what I meant was that I’m certainly able to afford marginally more now than I did, say, seven years ago. And no, I can’t do no handicraft. *Holds up crusty fingers as proof.*
The tube of superglue also says that it’s a permanent bond. Now how could that be. I’m sure there’s a plan B somewhere here. They’re just too showoffy about their stickiness to share it, the liars.
the ‘crust’ breaks off after a few days, you toot.
just wash your hands more. and maybe try peeling it off. it flakes. hahah.
yes. i’ve been there.
Well at least the glue should provide some protection against extended amounts of guitar playing. Oh and I hear nail polish remover helps soften up the glue for easier removal.
Personally, I think “handcrafted” gifts are nice. Not so much for the fact they where actually made from scratch by hand, but by the level of thought that went into doing something out of the ordinary.
I recall once giving an ex, as a side to a “real” birthday gift, a self-designed coupon entitling her to 50 kisses at any time or situation. It was even conveniently wallet sized.
Frankly I was hoping that she would go and photocopy it a few times ;)
i really want to know what you made that needed superglue
once i made this clay chicken statue something for someone. Damn, i was talented and poor then. Now i’ mjust poor.
are u sure they’re crusty from super glue? or…hmm…something else? Don’t lie!!
Hee hee. Crusty fingers. Hee hee…
Anyway, if all else fails, I’m willing to perform an amputation if you like. =C)
We’re having a special holiday promotion: 6 fingers at the price of only one hand!
Cy> you pervert.
jody> i remember that chicken statue! that person was lucky. it was pretty well done, too.
fal> tsk tsk, that’s such a guy present. i meant, something that’s sweet, yet undeniably selfish. bahaha. okayokay it was sweet, nonetheless. :P
*gasp!* Vicki you wound me! and then healed me back up again, but I was wounded nonetheless ;)
Consider the many situations which this “selfish” gift would actually be of more benefit to the girl than the guy.
The most obvious would be if the guy was in the middle of watching the World Cup finals but the girl wanted some attention after a month of being ignored? Whip the coupon out and the guy has to comply.
Another more serious situation is when the guy is in a bad mood for some reason or another (or, as I’m sure you know, for no reason whatsoever), the coupon reminds him to set aside his attitude and remember that it’s not all about him all the time.
spiro> actually, do you do forced amputations? i have a couple of people i could give you, where they live, etc.
fal> ah hahah the difference between a guy and a girl: in a similar situation, with the girl feeling pissy, if the guy whipped out a coupon for a kiss, he’d probably have to walk funny for the rest of the day.
Vicki: Sure… I charge locum rates. Cheap cheap. $75/hr. Heh.
Fal: *gag* *puke*
Spiro-> aww come on dude…it’s not like you haven’t done more mushy stuff of late rite?
Vicki-> correct! that is the difference between guys and girls. Therefore such a gift would benefit the girl better than the guy…
oh nevermind…
spiro> coool. that’s not too bad, actually, for a lifetime of misery for the victim… i mean, patient.
fal> then it just highlights the only thing guys think about, no? all feelings brushed aside in favour of physical intimacy.
*blinks*
Oh crap.
I just realised that this means I’m shallow.
Damm you Sprio!!
For the record, I wasn’t groaning about the mushiness of what you said…
