I owned battle damage He-man when I was a kid.
In the same car accident where I aquired my forehead scar, one of my associates met the windshield with her face. She never went with us to the hospital due to having some outstanding issues with the good ol' law enforcement so she left the scene quickly and hitched a ride home somehow. Having never sought medical treatment, I am pretty sure she still has a small piece of glass healed into her lip.
When I was eight I was clambering around on a big wooden structure with my cousin. The bastard gave me a push which sent me flying down onto the pointy end of a sliced up telephone pole. I was so proud as a kid, I wouldn't let anyone touch the gigantic tear in the back of my leg which was full of chunks of wood, so I still have some very old, decaying bits embedded in there. Every once in a while a splinter of it works it's way out, which is even grosser.
Natalia: Thank you, that's a flattering celebrity resemblance. Most often I remind people of Napoleon Dynamite (yes, there's a reason I cropped the top of my face off my player photo). Also, Converge is awesome.
I'm glad I have inspired this discussion of gruesome injuries! I've got a story too. When I was in junior high I wrecked my right knee in a biking accident. My front wheel tangled with my friend's bike, I flipped over the bars, and slid along the gravel road. It was like running fifty feet of coarse sandpaper across my kneecap. It became infected from the dirt bits that got in there. The skin never grew back; just a giant purple scab covering the spot where I fell.
NIIIICEEE!!!! They should have one of those signs posted upon entering San Fran and all alt. cities!!
Yay tattoos!
Yay battle pictures!
I once had a surgical procedure done that left me bruised so deeply that some of the bruise was actually black. It was amazing as I had never seen the reality of the "black" part of "black & blue". I am still sorry that I lost the picture of it.
