And breathe.
A thoroughly cathartic moment on Friday morning marked an end to the most stressful week of my life. My dissertation is now in the hands of those with a job I’d really not like to contemplate, leaving me with enough time to start coming up with something kinda pretty for the small matter of the degree show in err.. Whenever it is. It also means I can start thinking about fun stuff again, which will be most acceptable.
Nasty Accidents. I Win.
Think I might need to go to A&E, in a bid to sort something that makes fracturing my coccyx unembarrassing. Corridor skateboarding post dissertation. Fun and frivolity. Sat on skateboard. Fell off skateboard. Foot went in front of skateboard. Skateboard smacked me square in the lady bits. Losing blood by the pint. Looks like a car crash down there. Why do these things only ever happen to ME?!
Santa Owes Me.

Aye, a car crash with the – sorry, never mind.
> fracturing my coccyx
Interestingly I have a mid-20s colleague at work – let’s call him Keith, because that’s his name – who suffers persistent spine problems after a car accident.
To relieve the pain he is now due to go in for the best-named surgical procedure of all time: the coccygectomy (pronounced cocks-ek-ta-mee).
Having your tailbone removed sounds kind of funny until you read the details, omg.

Tina > As well as being the most painful injury in the world x10, it’s in an area that you just *don’t* want to get out for some random giggling JHO in Ninewells! (Especially when half your mates are medical students, and you KNOW they’re doing A&E rotations atm! Fuck. It’s too hideous to even contemplate.) Anyway. I can sit down again, you’ll be glad to know.
Air > [Frowns] I don’t think I want to know : )
Coccyx > OWWW.
