when things don't go as planned

i had it all worked out. composed my blog-post in my head as i walked over to the room-where-the-water-heater-resides to turn on the water heater. i was going to shave my legs, have a nice warm shower, and then write about how lovely freshly-shaven legs feel, and what wonders a warm, relaxing shower brings. ten minutes later, i'm sitting in my bathroom shaving my legs, thinking about the levels of dexterity involved in such a task. thinking about how lovely my legs were going to feel. thinking about how long it's been since i last cut myself while shaving. well you know that thing they say about pride and falling ? and that other thing they say about jinxing a good thing ? well. i heard it before i realised it happened. the blade went "skrrrt" as it shaved off a 1.75x0.2cm patch of my skin. how much do i feel like a 14-year old who just started shaving her legs ? so then i step into the shower, and the water's deliciously warm. until... remember the patch of skin now washed down the sink ? well it left some nerve endings exposed when it got sliced off my leg and those nerve endings don't appreciate warm water as much as i do. ouch. not to worry, though, bc the hot water runs out. 5 minutes into my shower. 25 minutes of pre-planned bliss became 5 minutes of not-so-much-bliss followed by 10 minutes of fuck-the-water's-cold. and come on i just could not stay another 10 minutes. after my shower (a.k.a dousing self with ice water) i turned the heater way up. and put a plaster on my leg. the wound was bleeding so much i started to wonder whether i had also shaved off an artery or two. sure enough, 7 seconds later the plaster was soaked up completely. so now there are 3 plasters on my leg. plus, i had to clean up the bathroom after bleeding all over the bathroom floor. which was not exactly on my list of relaxing-things-to-do-this-evening. who knew so much blood could come out of such a small cut. thank you so much, Mr. Murphy.

although, the rest of my freshly-shaven legs do feel pretty damn good.

and also, i got Friendstered by CuteGuy from my studio.

so it wasn't all that bad.
