despite the wallet with the skulls on it, I mean

So two events happened simultaneously last night: I got out of my bath, and Samantha tried to push down the garbage in her garbage can, forgetting that she threw away a razor blade.

(And we're not talking like a shaving razor, with pink daisies...we're talking about the real deal)

So we set off for the hospital at midnight, me dripping water and Sam dripping blood.

When we finally got there, we're checking in and explaining and the triage nurse asks....."so you're saying this was an accident though, yes?"

Look, I know that the words "razor blade" plus black-haired teenager probably set off some alarm bells. But lady, we're from Bragg Creek. We only get so emo, and no emo-er. The worst we're guilty of out here is bad poetry with the words "inevitable", "desolate" and an ABAB rhyme scheme.

well....plus...if I was "harming" myself why would I slice a razoe deep into my thumb and not my wrists?? Bad aim??

And I'm 21...not a stupid teenage who wants to off herself ha.

And I'm probably about 10% emo if that...actually 'emo' people and people who lable themselves as such just annoy me.

And then when I did go in, the doctor just suggested I let it stop bleeding on it's own..it should "stop by tomorrow probably"

And then the nurse gave me my tetnus shot, and walked out of the room leaving me with a naked, stiched thumb. So after tracking her down and getting a BANDAID
we were sent on our way.

So in october when I was horribley ill and they thought my kidneys were failing...I got the good treatment..or else I guess I didn't care enough if people were dicks. Dripping blood? Apparently deserves shitty treatment

And you'll also note, my wallet and that purse are the ONLY thing I own with skulls on it..because I like the design..any more, like these girls on the street with huge scarves of skulls..just looks like you're a pirate wannabe.

"So, you're saying this was an accident yes?"

"No...actually I did this on purpose. I thought I could kill myself by harming my opposable thumbs and natural selection would off me."

I get nauseous looking at the stitches in my thumb and thinking about the razor cutting me..I would never be able to conciously slice one into me..ohhhhh I want to puke.

PPS- Everyone, I know I'm an idiot. The one time I don't like..embed the razor in the center of my trash or put it in a bag or whatever, I decide to compact the trash so I could put more in

I may have black hair but it was definitely a blonde moment.

K I'm done with the comments.

This one time in band class (not kidding here) I tripped over a trombone case and twisted my ancle around. The band teacher had to call my mom, who then came to school and took me to the emergency room at the hospital. (I was 16 years old). The doctors looked at me like I was an idiot. And mom still makes fun of me.

Hey Sam, glad to hear your okay. Next time, if you want to cut yourself, you should definitely give yourself little artsy patterns so that the scarring will be pretty. Then when the hospital asks if you did it on purpose, you can proudly say "Yes" and bask in the glory of their admiration.

Stitches suck, I hope you can lift your arm higher soon. Don't puke, that'll only make them suspicious!!

With all of the terrible darkness in life
It really seem totally inevitable
That someone so emo would tire of their life
And respond to those messages subliminal

Hidden within that music so drab
(Some mumbling suggestions to cut oneself unfurled)
A desolate soul might be saddened enough
To "accidentally" bleed themselves out of the world

(By the way, the darkness in my soul.... SOOOOO much darker than the darkness within your own soul)

(& yeah, I'm so emo I rhymed "life" with "life")

(thus the "shittiest poem" contest begins and ends!)

that second last line should be "A desolate soul might just be so sad" (to preserve the ABAB rhyme scheme, insofar as it actually vaguely exists)
