Which isn’t embarrassing to me, really, so much as highly amusing. But it probably should be embarrassing. It’s probably more embarrassing to other people than it is me.
You see, I have a bit of an iron deficiency in my blood which causes me to bruise really easily. Super easily. I always have bruises that I don’t know the origin of because I happened to bump into something somewhere.
I also happen to be engaging in some activities of the adult variety with a man who likes to bite.
You can see where this is going, right?
Normally it’s fine. Just a nip or two. They look a lot worse than they feel. But let’s just say that on certain occasions, if I wanted to, I could walk into a police precinct and have him thrown in the slammer for domestic abuse. And he wouldn’t have a chance in hell of defending himself.
It’s ok now that it’s getting cooler and it makes sense for me to wear long sleeves. But when it was a zillion degrees outside and all I normally wear is tank tops, it took some creative costuming to keep people from asking questions.
Luckily, it’s freezing in my office, so I always wear a sweater and no questions need be asked. Can you imagine a coworker showing up one day with bruises all down her arm? Lord how the rumors would fly.
Personally, I think this is hilarious. It amuses me to no end the damage he manages to do to me. It’s kind of mind boggling, really. Because in the process, it never seems that bad. A bite or two here and there never hurt anybody. On a normal person, they’d probably not even show up as bruises. But lucky for me, they show up as a freaking Monet all down my alabaster skin.
I generally have movies on in the background of my computer at work, mostly so I can weed out the sound of my coworkers. Today I’m watching Serenity, the film version of the short-lived yet awesome TV show Firefly. One of the characters said something hilarious and I thought, you know, if I had a motto, that would probably be close to it.
Since it’s Friday and my boss is already gone, I figured I’d futz around a bit and make myself an official seal. This was my first try, but it makes me laugh so hard I might just keep it.
