I probably have a few more than normal, I'm kinda accident prone...here's the few that I care to discuss,even put 'em in order for ya:
Age 3
My head - Broke it, at the age of 3. Lost my memory and the ability to talk for a while. Climbed up a slippery slide, and went down it head first, got launched off the end and head first into a log that lined the sanded area.
It's not so much a visible scar, but there's a flat surface on part of my head now...they say it was quite lucky not to have been a far worse outcome.
Age 4
Zipper incident. Still have the scar to this day.
THIS TIME, I got to miss out on a penguin show...always happened at the worst time.
Yes, I have a scar on my penis...
Age 5
My head (again), above my right temple is a sar about an inch long which you can see if ever I get my hair cut short, which isn't often. Theme park canoe ride incident...I assumed it was on a "track" of some kind when stepping onto it, evidently, it wasn't. I tipped the thing over, and hit my head on the bricks across the other side of the "moat", BLED LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER! But I couldn't feel it due to apparently being in shock.
First ride of the day too, and I had to go - that sucked.
What sucked more is that my cotton candy melted into a little pink puddle in the car while I was getting stitched up.
Worst childhood dissapointment EVER.
Age 10
#1: My left eyebrow, middle...I was swingin' on something like an idiot, and lost attention for a moment...I looked back around to see an oncoming wall...alotta blood.
#2: Right eye, well, right next to it. There are these rather aggressive in breeding season kinda birds here called magpies. I ventured into the wrong park, and one swooped me, I dunno if it was the beak or claws, but it came so close to the eye, and it bled so much, I thought I'd been blinded for sure. There's a small circular scar there now.
Age 11
Sounds crazy, and it was.
While my mother was giving birth to my lil' brother, my grandmother was looking after my sister and I. I wasn't a BAD kid, just kinda...naughty...she ALWAYS used to spoil my sister and it pissed me off. This time, she gave a shitload of candy to her, and held it over my head.
So, I got some large scissors, got into her suitcase, and started cutting holes in one of her nightgowns...she caught me in the act, and grabbed them off me, she TOLD me she was trying to slap me, but I guess it wasn't the best idea to do that with scissors in hand, I got "accidentally" stabbed about an inch into the chest, somewhere "close" to the heart, I fainted, got stitched up, and came around in hospital.
I still have a very small scar there, it's more the incident that I remember than the thought of the scar.
Age 14
Atepped outta the back seat of my car while it was still moving slowly, my mother drove over my foot, a LOT of skin was taken off the side of my heel, and some minor "seperation" type breakage that pretty much fixed itself.
Scarring still on the side of my right heel.
?Mid-Late teen years?
My left hand, top - donut shaped burn, from back in the day when I worked in a kitchen, when it got slow, me and the kitchen guys would give eachother stupid challenges (eg - see how long you can leave your hand in the sink full of ice and water), so one time, we heated up some gas lighters, and placed the burning tops onto our hands...and saw who could go longer.
Turned out it was me. about 7 years later now, I still have the reminder of my "victory"
Age 22
Top of Left thumb.
Decided to try cutting open an olive seed, bracing it against my thumb...the knife cut through, and into my thumb. Very quick, very bloody. Nerve damage, still can't feel the area.
Age 23
My nose...happened late last year.
Had a fight with my psycho cat. He just freaked out and hissed when I grabbed him, so I hissed back and, well...guess he didn't like it none too much.
I got swiped, and one claw got me across the nose, pretty deep.
It's healed quite nicely, but you can kinda see "something".
Owned by a fucking cat..geez...
Age 24
Most recent, bottom of my thumb, across the knuckle.
I purchased a set of those "super knives" yknow? and I was testing the sharpness of the fileting knife by mindlessly slashing downwards on a peice of a4 paper.
Lost my concentration span for a moment during mid-slash, and just felt something "tap" my thumb knuckle...I knew immediately it was gonna be fucked up, so I got myself to the bathroom, and yep, I was bleeding freely...never seen such a small cut run so deep.
Managed to stop it...funny thing was, when I went back to my room, blood on the walls, floor, desk, everything...and that thing you see in movies? when people get like slashed by a samurai sword? the "arc of blood" thing?
That must have happened, in reverse, because I saw a "spray" trail of blood directly under where the knife came down.
Turns out it cut me to the bone, but it's more or less ok now. It's always going to feel "strange", but I've got full mobility, the scar is only a cm long.
"Bloody good" knives.
Apart from some other burns here and there, and some small "unknown cause" kinda scars I've accumulated, that's pretty much it I think...
Thankyou for sharing people, I've greatly enjoyed reading about your injuries, and hope mine have been equally amusing to you.
