Yay!  Tmuwo has stats in the Hall of Champions.  Now I'll have to work on getting myself back into good standing....

I have been doing better about chewing on my fingernails recently.  At the momment I have three! full-sized nails.  I had a couple of others, but...  I think another one is going to be lost soon, too.  But I keep trying.  Maybe one of these days I'll have all ten. 

Speaking of fingers, my thumb is healing along nicely.  Three weeks ago I cut the diagonal tip of my left thumb off at work and needed eight stitches.  Last week I removed the stitches, and this week I'm down to just an adhesive bandage to protect it.  It's done a good job of reattaching itself. 

It's doing so well that I took my father up on his offer to teach me to rock climb.  Last night I learned the ropes (literally!) of belaying at Phoenix Rock Gym.  It was fun, scarey, challenging, and quite a work out.  Fun was had by all.  Hopefully that won't be my last time, despite the fact that its too expensive of a hobby for me to pick up now. 

Speaking of expenses, wish me luck this month.  I am going to try to afford both RenFair attendance and a Whirlpool of Blood event.  This despite having an obnoxiously high phone bill for January.  Having a second job or a roommate looks more and more appealing each day... 

And if you needed further proof that faeriekind is the best kind:

You are blessed with FAERY wings. Beauty, laughter, life, magic...that's what you are all about. You are refreshingly innocent and happy with your life of purity and play. Life's a game and it's a good one. In your eyes there's no way to lose! You can be very mischeivous and have been known to cause trouble, but it's all in the name of fun and not meant to really harm anyone. You like to play tricks on people who aren't quite as bright or clever as you - which is almost everyone. Nature is the setting you prefer to be in - Always. Barefoot and wild you can't be tamed. You're probably a restless spirit who loves to travel, and quite a dreamer. Your creativity is astounding and your art (of whatever media - from writing to painting to drama) is like something from
another world - ethereal and often very fantasy-oriented. You can either be a social butterfly or a loner with their head in the clouds - but rarely inbetween. You stubbornly refuse to accept responsibility or to give in to the wishes of others - unless you feel like it. You have a strong passion for music and can't imagine life without it. You'll grow up someday, but you'll always be a child at heart. You are adventurous and love to take risks, and feel a deep connection with the weather, plants, and animals. You prefer sunshine to thunder or snow, the warmth of summer to autumn's chill, and quiet forests to suburban backyards. Magic through and through, you are far more powerful than you seem, and are capable of being extremely passionate. Though you can be childish, naive, stubborn, and self-absorbed, one thing is certain - life with you
will never be boring!
