Ich setze mir die Kopfhörer auf, Blende alles aus und vergesse’ die ganze Welt, diese Wände sind zu Grau. Meine Hände werden taub von der Kälte die ich fühle. Ich weiß genau, dass wir verwelken wie nh’ Blüte. Mit der Zeit wacht man auf und erkennt sich nicht mal selbst
♥I always leave you, my precious blog and make excuses for why. However this time I had a pretty good reason; whilst trying to protect my 10 year old German Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute cross from an attacking dog I received multiple bite wounds which lead to hand surgery and manual difficulties. The ironic thing is I was told to keep the hand with the worst injuries elevated above heart level to prevent swelling etc. However I was compelled to play Until Dawn at my sister’s house for hours and other menial crap like y'know phone stuff. And house chores. Now I have trigger finger in my most badly wounded finger which sounds hilarious and gangsta af but it’s actually really annoying, I literally can’t straighten that finger. So if in any future pictures I appear to be attempting the Spider-man web shot hand pose, only with one finger curled in, it’s not intentional.
(p.s hoping this gets fixed, i have some nice gloves man )
(PS should have let my dog alone, worst injury he came out with was a torn ear)
I may or may not link pics of my injuries (not posting them here, would totally ruin the blog aesthetic). They are kind of cool in a wow thats the dog’s jaw marks your leg kind of way.
Oh and by the way, I have absolutely no negative views about dogs as a result of this incident; the guy who owned the dog was obviously a complete idiot who hadn’t socialized his pupper and my end conclusion from this experience is that there are many people who just shouldn’t own dogs. Which is putting it lightly.

For all you trying wet-plate out there - just to show that sometimes things just don’t go right. For some reason the darkslide was pressing against the plate and marred the collodion on what is otherwise a lovely photograph of Rebecca. After two tries like this, I switched to my backup plate holder and the issue went away. So hang in there - there’s a lot of troubleshooting, but wet-plate is worth it!
My own stick bounced back while doing some pattern drills and cracked a tooth in half. My mouthguard was in its box ten feet away.
In hindsight I was probably pushing my competence at the drill with the energy and movement we were adding, but this is about the worst consequence I can foresee happening from that drill goig awry, and Im cool with it. I’ve already had the tooth glued back together.
