Clumsy Girl
Jul. 22nd, 2005 09:21 amYesterday I ALMOST got my third-ever self-inflicted black eye. That's right, third. That's right, ALMOST.
I was at home for lunch, ripping seams in a pair of jeans to make a skirt, and I socked myself right in the eyeball with my fist. I saw a giant starburst in that eye. Didn't take time to think or holler or cry, I just ran as fast as I could to the freezer and threw a bag of frozen peas on my eye. I could feel that although most of the strength of the hit got my actual eyeball, there was significant tenderness on the bones just above and below it too, and I was hoping to prevent as much swelling and bruising as possible.
I did a pretty good job. The swelling under the eye was SO minimal I could not really even see it myself, and no bruising ever happened! I was 5-10 minutes later getting back to the office than I wanted to be, but I think this was a good excuse.

Even more stupid quizzes

Yahoooops!!!!

***EDIT: Aww, it looks like it was removed. It was an article about a movie, and the headline said, "[Johnny] Depp's Chocolate Factory has Tasty Opening"!!!!!!

The man with Boobs
Jul. 22nd, 2005 02:28 pmI just wanted to do a little follow-up on the story of the man who was arrested for indecent exposure after his bare chest was just too much for the arresting officer. (See this post for more details.)
I just found some mugshots of the offender.
( Mugshots )
Well! It looks like this might be a man who is going through some kind of changes... maybe even hormonal changes? It is still unclear as to whether his breasts were natural or implants, but should that matter? If he is still considered a man, and his breasts are considered "offensive" anyway, that means that offensiveness is based only on breast size, and not the sex of the owner. So small-breasted women are off the hook and free to go topless!
(Actually, I don't want to start ranting again... It turns out that it's not even technically illegal for women to go topless in Cincinnatti. I guess this guy's arrest was unfounded no matter WHAT. Not sure how that works, but I like it. I wonder what kinds of laws there are in other states or cities... I know that bare nipples in the context of breastfeeding are 100% exempt from "indecency laws" here in Minnesota - even in public!)
I think I'd like to find out just how permissive various places in the US are regarding breast visibility...
