Actually, that applies to all of these... (◎◎▂)
===========================
I was boiling some nice chicken stock when I decided to lift the lid and check on things. A poof of steam came out and scalded the anterior side of my forearm. I ran cold water over it and it became an angry red. Initially I thought that was it and I went back to playing BioShock. A little while later I noticed it had started to blister. I wrapped with sterile gauze and over the course of a day or so it turned into a single large blister as plasma leaked from the damaged cells. It's faded a great deal since then.

I got this one hopping over a fence at Myrtle Beach. The fence caught my foot and its friend, the sidewalk, gave me a good drubbing for my insolence. And then D-girl walked up and opened the gate. It was unlocked.
===========================
This one's subtle. I got it cutting an apple in half. I used a paring knife because it was the only one laying around and the blade stuck in the apple halfway. I yanked it out and it slipped down, slicing my hand at the base of the pinky. Luckily, I managed to avoid severing a tendon. That would have been uncomfortable. It's hard to tell there's a scar at all because the cut hides among the natural creases.
I think I have 3 or 4 big scars, almost all on my arms. If people actually looked at my arms they'd think I am, or was, suicidal. Oddly enough most of the damage was actually done by cats, not knives.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I got a bunch of cat scratch scars on my arms too.
Deletelol, 3 or 4 would have meant you have bad aim.
DeleteScars make people interesting. Usually have their stories. My most recent one was being stupid. Fell on the street with a certain slick movement and BANG, nice 3 inch scar that makes me look like a certified badass on my elbow.
ReplyDelete3 inch? Well, that puts all mine to shame.
Deleteoh. you would never wanna see mine :)
ReplyDeletesometimes my scars makes me unnerving :( but I've got no choice but to live with it. :(
How did you get them though? Knifefighting? Fighting off wild animals?
DeleteHmm..maybe I was too young then to remember. :| but most of those were from grasses, i'm allergic.
