A short break.

I've decided to take a week off of stitching due to an unfortunate accident. Yesterday, while threading the sexing machine, my foot slipped on the pedal and I stitched my thumb. And also the index finger of my other hand.

And the needle broke off in my thumb.

It hurt. A lot. And it took a half-hour to work it back out.

I know you're saying to yourself, "That doesn't even seem possible if you were dumber than chrome is shiny!" I don't suppose you would believe me if I told you this isn't the first time it's happened?

Yep. I am a total disaster.

In unrelated news, Dragons and I went to go look at scooters the other day and find out more about legal requirements as well. It turns out that you can't just get a motorcycle license in Washington, unlike other, more civilized states. Ahem. You can only get a motorcycle endorsement on top of your existing license. They also don't have a scooter/moped license. Instead, if the machine is over 5 HP (I think), you need a motorcycle endorsement on your license and if it's under, you need only a regular driver's license.

Also found out that the MSF courses around here require that you are able to ride a bicycle as a prerequisite. This means that in order to get and drive the Stella I want, I need to:

• Learn to ride a bicycle
  
• Learn to drive a car
  
• Get Driver's License
  
• Take MSF course for motorcycle endorsement

That sure seems like a lot of work. I did however, sign up for adult lessons at this driving school in Bellevue. It turns out that all the driving schools close by are books up in the afternoon/evenings because of high school students. Damn H.S. kids. I just need to get my permit before September 12.

In the meantime, I guess I will work on learning to ride my bike.

For the sock monster lovers, here is Plathynnia, the laid back computer-lovin' Platypus:


Platy meets Soctopus. The Soctopus, being related to Platy (they're both pusses from the clan Puss), decides to show her around a bit. "Check out this bangin' computer, yo," says Soctopus.



Platy checks it out and before you know it . . .



She is an internet-addicted fiend! Augh!

Just kidding. Actually she is learning to haX0r your boxes and has already Pwned 07dies as well as n00bies alike. She's still a fiend. A l33t fiend, but a fiend nonetheless.

Platy sez, "You are teh suck!'
