PostFri Jul 09, 2004 6:20 am    A Scar's Memory

I have two large scars and a few smaller ones.

The first scar I got was when I was about 12 or 13. I fell and bruised my left knee. It took a very long time to heal and that's probably why it left me a scar.

The second was a few years later. It's a glass cut in the plam of my right hand. It's about 7cm or 2.8 inches. I tryed to pull myself (or partially at least) up on something and I had no clue it was glass.

Does anyone else have scars and what's the memory that comes with them?

Yup. Last year, our family went camping. I got out of the van we rented, and my dad told me to get some wood for a fire. I picked up a piece, then when I went to pick up another piece, that first piece gave me a slice on my arm. About 2 inches long. I had a cloth with some of that disinfectant spray on it on my arm till we went to sleep.

I have one on my palm that was caused when I fell of my bike going down a hill about 20-30 miles a hour and there was a sharp corner. The track was lose dirt and stones and the bike slipped and I fell onto my hand and split it open. The ironic thing is that I had said earlier it would be funny if someone fell. I was about 15 I think

I also have another one on my forehead, from when I was young (maybe 5?), and I had been annoying my big sister. She eventually got fed up and pushed me off a radiator and I cut my head open. When my mum came she said I fell as well!

I have one below the tumb on the top of my hand that was when I stabbed myself with a chisel in woodwork in school. That was about the age of 12.

Another one is just above my lip that happened when I was 2 or so. I was determinded to walk myself and eventually my mum let me. I took a few steps and then fell over onto the ground and put a tooth through my gum.

Yet another one is on my index finger on my left hand, when I was mucking about with a friend at the swimming pool and I was hiding in a locker. He slammed open the door and the lock was out and crushed my finger between it and the wall.

I have a quite big one on my elbow, but not sure how it happened.

Well, those are my main ones,

I have a very small one. It's not even a centimeter. I was like...7. And I was running around my grandparents garden and I ran straight into a low branch on their apple tree Shortly before, I tripped into the corner of a table with the same place on my head, so I had two bumps on the same place. It was huge

I have two. One on my ankle and one on my right leg. Leg one is from climbing a fence and getting stuck on it. I was about 5. The one on my ankle was from a misquito(sp) bite. It got infected and needed to be popped,so my mom popped it. Now it's a scar that looks like a circle.

I have many scars, most coming from accidents or someone's stupidity.

My first scar I got when I was young, about 11-12. I got a large Piece of glass through my lower leg. Fell through a glass door... well more Pushed through it.

Another is on my left hand. it's about an inch long. When I was 15, I was helping my friend clear out some bushes along the side of their house. while cutting a limb the saw slipped off and dragged down my thumb. I think it just about cut to the bone. No stitches though, some Duct tape and paper towels and it sealed itself back up just fine.

my latest one is just a few months old. While I was whittleing a peice of wood, my knife caught a knot, slipped from my grasp and buried itself a half inch into my hand. No blood, no pain. I wrapped it up with Duct tape, and it was fine.

there are others, but I don't like to talk about them.

i have one on the top of my middle index finger from when i was in either 1st or 2nd grade, and i was cutting up an apple, and the knife slipped and cut my finger. I've also got another on that same finger a little below the knife one from when many years ago i was playing with my dog maxx and he bit me too hard, and broke the skin, and now i have a scar from it. Although it's small and whatnot, i'm glad i have it in a way b/c my puppy dog maxx is getting very old, and he's not gonna be around much longer , but this small scar is a way to always have him with me...you know?!

I'm not going toh unt for every teeny little scar, but I have 2 or 3 big ones.

First one was when I was 11. Me and this boy were both tugging on a hose, trying to take it frome each other and he all the sudden yanked really hard or something and I fell directly on my right knee on rough, inclined cement. Pretty obvious round scar there.

2nd big one was when I was almost 15 and crashed my bike. I was going down a hill at like... well, really fast, and there was a car I had to avoid... wiped out, broke 6 bones, and got a fairly large, round, pruplish scar in the middle of my left shin. That one kind of irks me, however I totally do not mind the one on my knee at all.

The third was when I was 14, although it's not a really big one. I was climbing over a fence and cut my upper arm. Almost on the side or underside. It's faded quite a bit now, but it was at one time quite prominent.

I know I have other various, teeny scars, but I'm not going to inspect myself for them I've gotten cut quite a few times

One on my left thumb. I was six and didn't know you didn't need a butcher knife to cut an orange,
One on my hairline, where Jaime bit me,
And one on the side of my left knee where I went through a window. We were playing tag, and the grass was wet, and I was running toward the house. Tried to stop, but slipped, and went right through the basement window.

All pretty fun ways of getting scars! I never would have thought Jaime to be that type of person, And T not knowing something?!?!? Shesh, times have changed!

One of my friends have been thrown out of a window by their brother when he really annoyed him, but thankfully wasn't hurt!
