Revenge of the Loft Bed
I sleep in a loft bed in my uber cluttered apartment, to create the illusion of more space and allow for a tiny one person 1/2 futon that I sometimes can call a couch...if I'm really drunk or something. So being the tiny cluttered apartment that it is, the side bars which I climb up and down to get into and out of bed are about two feet from a shelving unit thingy (that's the catalogue term, I think), which I sometimes brace against to get up and down with more ease. For some unknown reason, when I woke up at 7:45am this morning, having to pee desperately, in my half sleep exhausted state (I hadn't slept well at all), I for some reason decided it was a fabulous idea to climb down the shelves instead. Or I couldn't tell the difference...who knows. The point is that both the contents of the shelving thingy and my oh so graceful person went crashing to the ground cutting a gigantic though not too horrendously deep gash in the ball of my left foot right under the big toe. Needless to say, this is not a practical place to have a large chunk of flesh dangling half off, as its REALLY FUCKING PAINFUL!!!! I am probably being a whiny baby, but it hurts to walk, stand, and even just sit here with it propped up...and we all know New York is such a great place to be when experiencing any discomfort walking or standing.
What a stupid way to injure yourself....almost as stupid as telling everyone exactly how it happened.
Did I mention this FUCKING HURTS?? AHHHHH!!!!

sorry about the foot. neosporin with pain relief. ibuprofen. hope you feel better soon. not a good place to hobble, like you said. thanks for checking out our arrival blog. this week is a blur. miss you!
oh baby, i am so sorry! i hope you took proper care of your wound, and i hope it heals soon!
see, now if you lived in Chicago you could afford a bigger apartment and therefore get rid of the loft, avoiding any future run-ins with the shelving unit thingy. i'm just sayin'....
chanteuse - the campaign has been stepped up, i see...eliza wants me to move to astoria, SL2000 wants me to move to brooklyn, and you want me to move to chicago. i myself don't want to haul my shit down 5 flights of stairs.
Colorado is nice ;) hahaha
Lack of city excitement, even in Denver, would probably bore you.
I hope you heal quickly
TO HELL WITH ALL!!! MOVE TO FLORIDA DO EQUITY WORK AT FLORIDA REP...MOVE IN NEXT DOOR TO ME AND BE MY SALVATION...WHILE IN TURN I WILL BE YOURS...HOW? IAM NOT SURE...WE'LL DO STOP KISS AND SHOCK THE SHIT OUT OF THE BLUE HAIRS...GO TO THE BEACH, CANOE, HIKE, AND DRIVE TO MIAMI WHEN WE NEED A DOSE OF GOOD OLD FASHIONED CITY SHIT.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR FOOT...I SAW A LADY YESTERDAY ON WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SCOOTER/CRUTCH CONTRAPTTION..IT WAS AWESOME. IF YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE WOULD ALLOW IT, YOU NEED ONE OF THOSE. A CRUTCH YOU KNEEL ON AND ROLL...HOW FUN WOULD THAT BE??
health insurance? what is that?
mmmm....canoeing....hiking...
jon - denver and the surrounding area isn't boring at all - there are these really big wonderful mountains there. i actually once almost moved to denver but thta was totally because of the song rocky mountain high (yes, i am a closet john denver fan, i admit it ok?). i am also clearly easily influenced.
i was looking on craigslist at apartments in astoria and brooklyn and even though mine is tiny, it really is a ghgood deal so for now i'm staying put.
