I am going to realign your chakras motherfucker

I'm interested in crystal healing and all, but I'm much more interested in crystal DESTRUCTION.
As in the destruction of faces with these badass crystal brassknuckles by artist Debra Baxter.

Time for a slight life update:
I am stressing out over internship applications (one due tonight midnight and another in Feb), and grad school applications. I have yet to start seriously working on my letter of intent and the essay questions that are part of the application, as well I am still furiously searching for a second reference, on top of narrowing down my area of research to something that fits in with the program mandate, and if I am feeling optimistic, contacting a member of the faculty at Guelph to ask (BEG) to be my faculty advisor. SCARY stuff.

On top of this I have 3 essays looming in the horizon, which seem too far away for me to think about (but definitely need to be kicked into gear). One of which is a fieldwork project that requires several interviews, which means interview questions, and contacting the organization I am doing the project on.
Which leads to a tempting trip to Ottawa next weekend as a mini-reunion with my CWY groupmates TO PARTY!! but also doubling as a research trip so I can actually do face-to-face interviews with them instead of over email... which means I need ethics forms by next week so I can get them to sign them, which means I need to solidify my research question and interview questions before the weekend and email them to my prof for approval.
This also leads to stressing out over budgeting for the month... seeing if I can stretch my funds to cover the cost of the trip, and if it's worth paying $100 for a bus trip to Ottawa for 2 days and 1 night, or if I should stay for 2 nights, as well as paying for transportation to and from school for the month of Feb. and also means NO MONTREAL during reading week.

I wish I could use the above brass knuckles on life, just TEARING THROUGH SHIT. So awesome.
