Ive been trying to pull out the lead thats been lodged in my finger for years. before recently, I didnt care either way, because I never saw it, it was at a weird angle on the side, and it didnt bother me.
It came into being when my cousin accidently jammed his mechanical pencil into my finger. (I say accidently because I would never accuse him of anything without evidentiary support of him having a reason to want to stab me. Now, of course, he probably would stab me. If the incident had occured a year later, then I would have said he did it on purpose.) He was the clumsy sort. It didnt really hurt, and he felt bad about it.
Years later, its still there. A conversation piece, some would say. Many say its probably not healthy to have a chunk of lead in ones finger. But, mechanical pencils really dont use lead anymore, they use less harmful graphite, or something.
Anywho, I decided to take action, with the help of peer pressure. Seemed easy enough.
So Im a lil less tolerant of the pain that follows a sharp object widling away on my finger. er, I couldnt get to the lead. It hurt, guys. But I havent given up. Just gotta plan ahead a numb the finger in ice water to continue...
So, I guess my phalange drama will continue later this afternoon. But thats really all thats going on this afternoon. sad, I know.

HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!
Shvic! I would NEVER peer pressurize you about your lead-based finger insertions!! Truly. If you want to leave it there...until you grow wrinkly...and they study your body for scientific purposes...because you died at the age of 132 years....and they discover that ancient piece of pencil lead in your finger.....why, that would really give those scientists something to talk about!
Missing you.
Until then....
HARRY POTTER!!
*giggles* I doubt graphite will turn out to be the fountain of youth, but it amuses me to no end to imagine everyone injecting themselves with mechanical pencil lead.
