Smashing glass

I hit the light switch at 2:30am this morning, turned and heard a crashing smash much like the sound of breaking glass. Picking up the glass, my finger snagged a sharp bit and made a small cut. It is always interesting how much blood can come out of such a small cut. Like when i'm sitting in the car with a bunch of 12-14 year olds, on the way home from a Christmas party that they loved, and they want more, and i feel like i do too. Like preparing endless posters for 500 of my peers, and suddenly it's fun, and i want more, and hopefully they do too.

A drinking glass smashing to the ground is not a very peaceful sound. Most of the time it's startling and ends with an "oh no." So much can come out of something that starts with an "oh no" though.
