yes...that is really what happened.

so, a couple of weeks ago, at work, i gave myself a black eye. it was a doozy, too. i was on one phone and went to answer the other phone and i smacked myself in the face with the receiver. yes, i really did hit myself in the face. and i know that i could make up a story about how some kid got crazy and i had to take him down and he punched me or something, but i like the true story. it is funny. and i like to laugh. so, yeah, here is my black eye.

this is shortly after it happened, before it got real, real dark.

and that is the phone that i hit myself with. secretly, the day after i hit myself, i hit myself again with the same dang phone. it's not me, it's the phone.

yeah, something like that.

and for the up close.

one of they counselors that i work with said that if he didn't know better, he would think that i was in an abusive relationship. i assured him that neither my grandma, nor my roommate are beating me. hahaha.

that's all.
