Mystery of the missing e-mail: Solved. Turns out it was a text message, not an e-mail. *facepalm*

Okay, this hold music is the crappiest I've heard yet. Ow, my ears! *makes faces at phone, gets stared at*

I'm hungry, and I keep getting calls from people who take five minutes to get to anything vaguely resembling a point. Yes, bla bla bla, you love your product, fine, now ask me a goddamned question, fool.

After last weekend's injuries, my left hand and shoulder have healed nicely, but my right hand is still sporting a bump, even though the bruise has faded. *frownface*

Meme, tagged by sparklebutch: Write 20 random facts about yourself then tag the same amount of people as minutes it takes you to write the facts. If you're tagged it's your turn.

1. Every single pet I've had (not counting family pets) has been a recue of some kind.
2. I have three tattoos (hopefully soon to be four) and two piercings (not counting the ones in my ears).
3. I hate going to the doctor.
4. I have a geese phobia.
5. Although I work in a call centre, I actually really dislike phones.
6. I like the fact that my eyebrows are dark and bushy, and only shave the middle bit to avoid unibrow.
7. I cannot stand the idea of epilating facial hair. So I shave it.
8. I am both physically and mentally addicted to caffeine.
9. Plants hate me. They wither and die under my care.
10. I often find myself walking "like a man" (i.e. like I would if I were crossdressing) at random times.
11. I would consider myself at least slightly genderqueer.
12. I like reading Heat, but only when Big Brother is on.
13. My arms, back and legs are covered in melanomes, or whatever they're called.
14. I often wish I had stronger and longer nails.
15. I have a lot of small scars on my hands. Neither these nor the larger ones on my chin and wrist bother me at all. In fact, I think they're kinda cool.
16. My pinky fingers are so much shorter than the rest of my fingers that they're pretty much useless.
17. My right thumb is still thinner than the left one, because I sucked it for years and years.
18. I like to sing embarassing eighties songs in the shower.
19. I still sometimes wish I had waist-long, wavy/curly blonde hair.
20. I'm happy with and proud of my big, bumpy nose.

*checks* Oh, great, eleven minutes? Okay, I tag: amatia, armistice, carelessmemory, deepsix, elance, elfiepike, eljuno, hokage, rawumber, ruby_fruit, and yonmei. If any of you've already done this, let me know and I'll un-tag you. :D

Link, also from sparklebutch: A transgendered Hurricane Katrina evacuee jailed for five days after showering in the women's bathroom at a local shelter was released Friday after the county attorney declined to press charges. Sigh. Just, gah.

Mm, I like scars.

I had a "scar tissue" icon, but it's gone now. *Smooch*.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

mourns for the departed icon*

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

For you, I upload.

Damn, that article about the transgirl is just...gah. The poor kid. I'm glad it finally got dropped. "No criminal intent", no kidding.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can sorta understand other women being a bit uncomfortable with it, but I think her safety (which would've been in definite danger had she gone into the mens's showers) is more important there. And to arrest her is just ... gah.

[yonmei.livejournal.com]

Not just arresting her: jailing her for five days because (for obvious youdathunkreasons) she couldn't make bail.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Such fantastic use of police resources, no?

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I wondered if they jailed her with women or men. Things can be so much worse than you think.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that occured to me as well. I can only hope she was remanded in, like, an individual cell in the police station.

I've never understood the whole scars thing. I am neither appalled nor enraptured by them. I'm more about the mental scars, myself.

I'm so with you on the thumbsucking thing. I didn't stop doing it until I was fourteen. Oh, the sweet comfort it brings.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I sucked my thumb every night until I was thirteen, and after that still whever I was upset. Still do, sometimes.

[perhael.livejournal.com]

I quit shortly after my classmates caught me doing it in class and started whispering about it behing my back, and the teacher approached me, all concerned, saying, "were you sucking your thumb in class the other day?" and I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

Also, I my parents were paying big money to my orthodontist to fix my front teeth, so they were quite adamant that I quit negating the effect of my braces by sucking my thumb. Heh.

I haven't done it for years, but occasionally, when I'm extremely upset, I'll think longingly of it. Usually, though, I just find something else to stick in my mouth. (like FOOD or GUM! get your mind out of the gutter ;p)

[wild-boys.livejournal.com]

Ah the oral stage. ♥

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oi, are you mocking us? :P

[perhael.livejournal.com]

Keep in mind who gets to reap the benefits of my oral fixation, my dear. ;)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yeah, 'swhy I smoke, partially, I think. And thankfully, though my teeth are crooked, they never warranted intervention. :D

[perhael.livejournal.com]

I totally get the smoking for comfort thing, even if I've probably only smoked about twenty cigarettes in my entire life. For me the health risks have always outweighed satisfaction, so I never really got into it, but oh yeahhh, the oral thing. Mmm.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I also get addicted easily, so after a month or so ... Yeah. :(

[perhael.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was genetically blessed when it comes to cigarettes. I got that from my mum, she can take 'em or leave 'em with no problems, too. It's actually quite funny because I'm addicted to a fair bunch of things (the internet for one, heh) but the obvious things like cigarettes and alcohol i'm impervious to.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

my brother's like that. I hate him for it. HATE!

>I cannot stand the idea of epilating facial hair. So I shave it.

Me too, although I'm trying to use Nair now, as it lightens the hairs over time. But usually I can't be fucked, and Nair is painful, although it doesn't cause anything which would suggest allergic reaction.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Part of the problem is that most of my facial hairs are on/around melanomes or the scar on my chin, hence why it hurts to pull them out, and also why I don't want to mess around with chemicals around them. :/
