You know that you've been playing with your Exacto Blade too much when...

You can freehand a design in correlation with a poem- on the same sheet of paper
You start doing unpaid commissions at work in your free time
... for the people that come in the shift after yours
... and with a theme that you're only vaguely familiar with
You have used so many different mediums with your knife, you begin to question its strength
... daily
... hourly
... and wonder if it has been blessed by god
You see some red marker on your inner thumb and ask yourself when you accidentally sliced yourself
... and then check yourself for cuts
... and then lick the mark before you realize it's ink
You will spend four hours cutting out a Celtic knot for someone, only to have it disintegrate in your fingertips
... and then have a spare waiting to be cut out



On a very slightly related note, I just recently got a Deviantart profile. Linky here and on the sidebar, below my Fictionpress profile.
