Existential Dread Salute

[lavendertook]

OK, now I'm just being existentially trolled. Yesterday, when I was putting the sun room back in order, I noticed my finger was feeling stiff, and saw it was swollen and purple and red. I don't recall hitting it or bending it wrong. The stiffness went away in short order, and it never hurt, but it's still purple and red now.

It is, of course, my middle finger. Very cute existential demons, very cute--laugh away.

I expect it is just a burst blood vessel--what I googled doesn't seem at all alarming. So I'm not going to worry about it unless it starts hurting, turns green, starts singing "Daisy", or doesn't resolve in a couple of days. Anyone else have this happen?

Weird. And just . . . enough already, OK? O_o

no but i have a trigger finger....and it IS that finger. Hysterical on every level there is!

Eesh. I am sorry. Not good for a musician at all. *gentle hugs*

I think it's kind of funny, really! (not a musician, tho.....altho, yeah, that wouldn't be a good thing!)

I thought you were with he Humbuck Honeys?

[jan-u-wine.livejournal.com]

nope.....when i was younger, i thought of starting a rockabilly band and liked the name "Humbuckin' Honeys" for it. But i was too busy writing to learn to play guitar beyond The Three Chords.....

so, no, not a musician......

OK, I misunderstood. All this time I thought you had been in that band. Yeah, I couldn't get further than that on guitar either.

ha ! i L U S T to play the guitar. But like a person who orders too much for dinner, my musical eyes are much larger than teh belly. It's not likely I'd ever have been any sort of guitarist. But I am a good writer. It's a funny thing, really. Trying to play guitar would have only broke my heart. Writing only heals it. It's the only moment in my day when i feel entirely at ease, entirely natural and (mostly) content. Some people pay money for that. All i need is time and a keyboard. ....................Now.....if only i had the time! That IS the rub as Master Shakespeare sez

It's my left middle finger that hurts the most when I type. That's a sensitive finger, apparently!
