Curse

My right elbow is scarred from diving off a bicycle to avoid a person who chose to drive in the bike lane. Flesh is a poor brake pad. I've got several smaller scars from assorted bicycle crashes and incidental accidents.

I have two scars. One from where my mate starting being a dick and throwing a guitar hero guitar about (the head of it sliced my arm open O.o), and I kept picking at it, the other from showing off how sharp my nails are that's pretty much lined up perfectly with the guitar hero one. Other than that, none at all.

I have dual scars running along my lower lip from when I:

A. Fell off my bike and busted my lip open on the curb.
B. Was being dumb and tripped, busting the same side of my lip open on the corner of our piano.

I also have a scar on my left wrist from where I braced myself as I fell through a glass table. I didn't cut the vein thank god, but I remember there being a LOT of blood.

My scars are pretty faint though so you don't really notice them.

that's more of a battle scar to me! Potentially deadly, and you were saving yourself. Good thing you didn't cut the vein.

Small scar on my left ring finger (bottom side where the skin connects to the palm) from were a sai tore through the skin. It bled so much, despite being so small.

Big, round scar on my right inner ankle from were a katana sliced a chunk out of my skin (GG @ blade guard falling off during sparring)

Scars on left arm (elbow, 2 in center of forearm, one on the inside of my wrist) from where I had titanium rods put in when my 2nd broken arm refused to heal.

Small circle scar on my right index finger (top) being burned by a falling hookah coal a few years ago.

Wide and short scar in the middle of my right thigh from a katana stabbing into it (ouchies...)

That's it I am pretty sure.

I have scars from the most silly little injuries that caused me virtually no pain or inconvenience (scrapes, papercuts).

All the scars from my major injuries have faded (getting hit by a car, falling down a cement set of stairs, getting a massive steel door slammed on my head, etc.).

Scar on the outside of my left leg from being knocked off my bike onto a broken beer bottle, also scars on my elbows from falling of my bike myself.

I also still have pencil lead in my hand from where I got stabbed by a pencil in first grade (I'm 24 now).

Oh, I also got a paper cut on my eye in third grade. That shit hurts.

Care to explain how that happened?

Can do.

The way my elementary school did lunches involved a cafeteria worker coming around to classrooms to sell lunch tickets. I was headed over to get one as my teacher was holding a stack of tests to hand out. As I was walking by, she turned her body and the stack went directly across my eye. Apparently I didn't have quite as good reflexes back then as I do now

I had to wear a patch over my eye for 1-2 months (don't remember exactly). I ended up getting glasses in fifth grade - both my eyes suck, but the one that got cut needs almost double the strength. If only we had been in the age of lawsuits back then

I have a scar on my left eyebrow from when I got hit by the metal end of a garden hose. On my right leg I have a long scar going from my knee to my hip. Another one going across my knee, and one more small one on the side of my knee. (I had a bone cyst and they had to cut out most of the bone on my right femur, put a metal rod in through my knee packed artificial bone around it, and then put two metal pins in through the side of my knee.)
Needless to say, I can put off metal detectors!

Was jamming with my band when the drummer accidentaly released his drumstick which went flying across the room, hitting me in the back of the head. It's only a small scar, but it bloody hurt, 2B's are not nice.

Wow! I hope you wear it with pride! cause you should!

I went head-to-glass with the rear window of a minivan. Took the whole thing out, I'd like to think I was the victor.

There was a lot of blood, but what good is a story without some, amirite!? Last I recall, I needed 25-30 stitches or so, and a few of the cuts that weren't deep enough were just glued shut. Pretty awesome tbh. It didn't particularly hurt, either. The worst was the freezing agent they had to inject into my face.

But for a story about hurt and relating to battle wounds: Spirally fractured my femur 6" from the socket to the hip. Got a couple of small scars on either side of my knee where they were invading my body for an experimental surgery (which I later found out was adopted as the primary means of rehabilitating a fractured femur, as a friend of mine broke his ~10 years later, hooray for being a guinea pig). I'm really surprised and honestly baffled at how they managed to reattach the two pieces of bone and plate them together with only two incisions that were at least 12" away from the site of the break.

Oh I do! And it makes this awesome "grinding" noise when I bend my knee.

"six feet deep is the incision...
in my heart that bar-less prison.."

Give me a minute trying to remember how I got what scar, but anyway I have one or two scars on my back from doing something stupid as a kid; three on my chest that have always been their since I can remember(I'm going to rule these out and just say they're birthmarks). Three on my hand, one on my elbow and knee, one on right foot, and one on my shoulder. Also how I haven't died from my stupidity is beyond me since now that I can remember most of the time when I do get injured it involves either fire, nails and a hammer, a knife, or my inability to listen to my conscious.

Black Metal · Nov 26, 2009, 02:36 AM // 02:36

Both mountain biking scars. Right hand 4th finger knuckled from a spill, inside of my lower lip when I bit entirely through it. The frame of my mountain bike has a bigger scar from my teeth, which took one of them with it.

I have a totally messed up right shoulder from ice hockey, but I never got it fixed, so there's no scar.

Couple inch scar below my right knee from football. running down on kickoff team and ran someone over. get over to the sideline and look down and all of a sudden my leg is bleeding. apparently got whacked by some guy's cleats >_<

Pony Slaystation · Nov 26, 2009, 05:44 AM // 05:44

Scar from getting my appendix removed...
Now, a scar with an actual story. I have a scar on the left side of my right knee from where a bird flew into me, and I had to get stitches. Dang birds... can't tell the difference between windows airs.
