We were rocking out at rehearsal tonight (last rehearsal before tomorrow's gig!), and were in the middle of kicking the ass of "Enter Sandman," when I miscalculated slightly on a cymbal crash and sliced open my finger on the top cymbal of my high hat.

Yes, it's official: Lars has drawn blood.

I suffer for my art!

Finger wounds bleed a lot. This was a cut from yesterday that got re-opened, before any of my flist start getting ideas about just how hard I hit my drums. ;) Still, it hurt on impact and soon I couldn't drum anymore (despite being only about 1/3 into the song) because my drumstick got all slippery with blood, which also spattered all over my sheet music and the drum kit.

I managed to clean the drum kit, but the sheet music has been thoroughly baptized in blood.

I am hardcore, it would seem.

Now I have to go collapse. My bed calls to me with siren song.
