It’s busy. Get up, go to work, come home and change, go out, come home, sleep, repeat. Busy is cool though, when it involves being about to go and get a roast chicken.
I keep noticing people with little faint scars in the corners of their eyes. Not, like, both eyes on one person. Just one. It must be a weird common point of injury. Funny though, since I think very few people have serious eye injuries and a lot seem to have serious bit-right-next-to-the-eye injuries.

I don’t have any facial scars though I’m sure I’d look totally wicked if I did.
My dad has a nice one on his neck that makes it look like someone tried to slit his throat which I think is pretty cool. Also, he has weird cat eyes [reflective] because they replaced his lenses or something [here’s where I yawn and just say ‘do that thing where you get cat eyes’].

Maybe all those people are part of some serious-near-eye-injury cult.

Glen - not yet. March maybe. I’ll call you and shit.
Nails - Finish the story! That sounds cool. No, wait, creepy is what I mean.
Winter - Hmm, then I would have to be a member myself, since I too have that little scar. How come I forgot to mention that, anyhow? Weird.

That is weird. Well how did you get yours then? A tragic parachute pants accident?

It’s a very boring story - the scar is surgical.
He has much more interesting stories of all the times he nearly got himself killed in Vietnam but none of them resulted in genuine injury or anything like a scar.

Oh? Now I am intrigued. :)

I have a facial scar, but it isn’t by my eye. It’s on the left side of my nose, right by my nostril.
When I was a kid, my mother took me to ride the bumper cars and forgot to buckle me in. Someone bumped us, and I went flying. The guy that hit us was probably emotionally scarred for life. Lucky for me, I was so young, I barely remember it now. It’s mostly a blur of people screaming and running around, and lots of blood. Pretty awesome.

Winter - Exactly. Except no. When I was a baby I was crawling on the extendable table, but the extendable bit wasn’t fully clicked into place and gave way beneath me.
Nails - Yr dad sounds like a fun guy. I reckon he would have some stories.
Winter - yep, see above then. It was a table thing.
Julia - Kewl story, dude. I once got two stitches when I slipped and hit my head on a toilet at the pool. Now I think about it, I probably slipped in my own pee. LOL.

50% of all corner-of-the-eye injuries are caused by people walking in the woods, hearing a sound, whirling around to see what it was, and getting a tree branch in the eye.
49% are caused by people who saw Shitney Spears’ “accidental” naked coochie pics on the net, and tried to scrub their eyes out of their heads to erase the awful memory.
The other 1% are caused by dreadlock whiplash in the mosh pit.

Dude, dreadlock whiplash is totally something I have experienced. Not cool.

So mark, do you tell people a manly story about your scar?
“yup, I totally fought off a stingray and got this sweet ass scar. You think this looks bad? You should see the other guy. Kicked. His. ASS!!!”
You know what I think is unfair? If a man has a scar, it’s considered sexy. But if a woman does, it’s not. What gives?

The only time I ever needed stitiches was that time I stabbed myself in the leg with a box knife at work.
marcheline - the breakdown of near eye injuries was v. funny.
Comment by winter — Monday January 22 2007 @ 1:20 pm
Marcheline - LOL. Good breakdown.
Julia - There was a girl on Neighbours a while ago with a massive facial scar. She was still pretty hot though and I think that refutes your position. PS: No stingray fucks with me, that’s fo’ sho’.
Winter - My dad did that once with a stanley knife. Yeech.
