Lawnmowers are just…so great when you’re in a messy mood.
Like I was saying last week, it`s like a wood chipper but
more hands on which is great if that’s what you’re looking for. Friday, I was
looking for loud and messy and fun – and I’m not just talking about my husband.
Oh my god, I apologize. That was a really bad joke even for
me.
Moving on: we’re into the last week of this creative
project. Overall, I think it’s been very successful. I will definitely be
looking into more household poisons; hydrogen peroxide really caught my eye.
Poisons are tricky, though. They never work the same way twice which sucks when
you’re in a pinch but if you can take your time, poisons are just beautiful.
And speaking of taking your time…
My last kill in the garage. I think I might have done this
one before but no specific event comes to mind so I’m using it. Air embolism. I
guarantee if I’ve done it before, I’ve never used a bicycle pump carefully
placed in a victim’s arm. I found him passed out on the street, very clearly enjoying
the leftovers of a wild party. It’s a pity he didn’t have better friends who
could take care of him. One shot and his heart gave out within a few minutes.
Quick and quiet; there’s no shame in that.
This week’s endeavours were put to use in the living room.
Another simple kill that gets the job done: A photo frame I
never got around to using. Not much to tell there. Blunt force trauma to the
back of the neck, hitting the spine with the sharp edge of a wooden frame.
Collapsed, most likely paralysed, and beaten to finish the job.
My kill last night was at least a little more creative. I
pulled the coil out of an old couch cushion and wrapped it around my victim’s neck.
With my husband’s help, we pulled a wire loose –after cutting the breaker – and
created a little spark for our victim. A little tricky and risky but it ultimately
wielded the right results.
One area I’ve never really worked with is technology and
electricity and that area. I’ve mostly been afraid to because of how volatile the
material is. As unpredictable as poison is, there’s no telling how wires and circuitry
will react, especially since I don’t know what I’m doing.
I wonder if Jason deals with hardware or just software.
Maybe I could ask him to teach me some things. It couldn’t hurt to get some
more family bonding in before he starts school again. One more month.
But on that note, I’ve noticed Jason doesn’t seem as excited
about started school as he used to be. Every time I bring it up – which isn’t
often, I’m trying not to pester my son about his future even though it’s killing
me to not know – he shuts down of focuses all his attention on his computers. I
think he loves all that computer/technology stuff but being in a classroom
setting is stifling his interest. I remember reading an article about children
with ADD having trouble with traditional learning practices. I think – or rather
I’m trying to think – as long as he
can make a living and he’s happy, I will be satisfied. It’s hard to move my
mind away from the idea that the only next step after high school is
post-secondary education. There are so many more options for my child and I
hope I’m open minded enough to support him no matter what.
I haven’t talked to James about my suspicions but I’m sure
he’ll agree. As clueless as I am about raising a teenager, he’s even worse. He’s
an only child from a middle class family who grew up with a lot of classmates
and acquaintances but not a lot of child-age social interaction. He’s not the
best help on these things. I’ll talk to him tonight and see what he says but I
bet his answer will be: “Whatever you want to do, dear, I’m behind you.”
Isn’t he such a suck?
So that’s my agenda for the week. Nothing too special but
hopefully this last week of forced creativity will bring a satisfying end.
As always, dear readers,
Stay Safe
