Ha **cmyk**! I mean I’m sorry you got hurt, but 😛

I’ve gotten cut by posterboard, and it’s about as bad as cardboard, except without the possibility of shards of cardboard inside, I guess. I always feel kind of stupid; I guess now I’m in good company.

Thank you for the full body cringe I just experienced whilst whimpering, “Oh my GOD, fuck! OW OW OW” and it didn’t even happen to me.

(This from someone who cannot wear contacts because she cannot bear the thought of touching her eyeball, nevermind cutting it…ow!)
