Crooked Lust: Swingin' in the Bay →
punkassjim: crooked-lust: Damage: two blisters, a huge bruise, and a numb toe. Clearly I should invest in some new dancing shoes.  I didn’t even dance nearly as much as I had planned.

My mom walks up to me and examines the scar on my neck from an infected cyst. When I ask her what she’s doing, she says, “Just taking notes in case I ever have to identify your body.”

So I guess it's Oscar Sunday.
I used to get really crazy about it. I’d make sure to see every nominated film, or as many as I could. I’d watch the whole red carpet ceremony.
