several hours ago, i attempted to snip an unruly wire with the self-same all-purpose scissors which hacked away (quite successfully) at my hair last night. as i'd already partially completed the project around the wire i was trimming, i had to carefully navigate the scissors through several other bits of intersecting wire into a very small space. when i cut the wire, i managed to have my finger right in the way.

as a result, i had two little slices of skin making a pale V between my knuckles. after momentary inspection, i determined that i wasn't bleeding and in only minor pain - project-assembly summarily continued.

only now, hours later, are little drops of blood beginning to well out of the trenches and stain my skin.
