component rejection, immunodeficiency and sepsis: shit happens

well, that episode of mine and w3dyt's adventure with scalpels and magnets was a total physical failure. in my case, putting the magnet into my crappy, narrow fingertip required a pair of tweezers, tweezers that turned out to be far too sharp; the following sepsis meant i had to make yet another visit to the fucking hospital doctors, feeling awful about taking up their time; after three or four days of fever, severe infection and a pretty frightening day in and out of delirium, my system rejected the component and i figured out what i'd fucked up.

i pierced the silicon and scratched the gold coating with the fucking Swiss army knife tweezers (didn't have anything else). this is probably the single most retarded mistake i've made; the neodymium had started to corrupt and leak out of the casing through this tiny puncture, giving my already infected bloodstream the added kick of neodym poisoning, i think.

on the other side, w3dyt, while not bass-ackwards fuckheaded enough to damage his own components, has an immune system that's made of adamantium. during the healing process it decided it didn't like the magnet - and threw out a couple of the skin divers on his sternum for good measure. try, try and try again, i guess.

so we got a shipment of 5mm piercer's needles, big scary motherfuckers that i can well imagine are gonna hurt like a cunt. the upside is, it's probably gonna give us a much deeper cavity, much faster; and this time, i ain't using those motherfucking tweezers.

shit happens, get up and try again. merry fucking christmas.
