Chicks Dig Scars - Page 2

Left index finger (proximal phalange) - I had a chunk ripped out of the underside of my finger as a defensive wound when someone tried to stab me with a switchblade. He got my finger, and the blade stopped at the bone. It left a very visible scar nearly an inch long on my finger.

Left index finger, left middle finger, and left ring finger - I slammed our family car door shut (it had a bad lock, so needed to be physically slammed), however, I had my fingers stuck in it. Because the door was locked, I was unable to open the door myself. The force of it actually caused my nail on my ring finger to fall out, it grew back in slightly crooked. My middle finger suffered no long term damage. My index finger got the worst of it - a nasty scar on the top side of my intermediate phalange, I can no longer bend the joint to move the distal phalange properly, and I can no longer feel anything past that scar (I had a brick fall on my fingertip once, destroyed the nail, yet I felt nothing, to give you an idea of what I mean). When I was diabetic (yes, was), I used to use this fingertip for most of my tests, because I couldn't feel a thing!

Left thumb - I was working on some Warhammer models, and I cut my thumb pretty deep. I grabbed duct-tape and gauze, wrapped it up, and kept going. It's left a nice scar, and my fingerprint doesn't line up properly anymore.

Right thumb/wrist (hard to explain location) - I played Football with a cast on my wrist (last year of eligibility, and I broke it in the first game, I wanted to keep playing). The cast kept digging into my wrist right by the base of my thumb, causing the skin there to break open and bleed often. It left a scar, but it's mostly faded now. It is easy to feel though, because there is an obvious deformation that remains.

Left wrist - A scar that I can't explain. I can't feel anything there, and it feels wierd to touch, but is not overly obvious. I've had it as long as I can remember.

Various scars from minor burns on both arms, and hands (often from hot oil or grease, since I do a lot of cooking). Also scars on my knuckles from fights I used to get into..... Various minor scars from other nicks with tools. My hands are pretty beat up, in general..... It comes with being a hands-on person, I guess.

Right palm - I got a severe burn from resting my hand on the exhaust system of a gas powered lawn mower after it was in use for over an hour. It left a nice sized scar, although no serious damage, and is difficult to notice without close examination, but it can be felt pretty easily.

Upper back - One of the girls I had an intimate relationship with dug her fingernails into my upper back in the heat of the moment. It's left some small, mostly unnoticeable scars in that perfect shape..... She definitely left her mark on me..... Bitch.....

Lower back - I was in a knife fight and got cut (not too deeply) on my lower back while tackling him. Dumb move, I know.

Right calf - I was biking one day, and my foot slipped off the pedal and my calf got impaled deeply on the sprocket. It's left a good 8 inch long scar, that actually shows the grooves from the spokes on the sprocket. It was deep, and bled like a motherfucker (I threw my shoes into our washing machine 3 times trying to get the blood out, before throwing the shoes out and getting new ones). I used duct-tape and gauze to wrap it up after cleaning it.....

Left ankle - I have a scar that is about 4 inches long leftover from my reconstructive surgery. I snapped both my tibia and fibula near the ankle, and I tried to get up and walk on it, further screwing my ankle up. Since the operation, my left ankle has had better flexibility than my right ankle. The surgeon did a fantastic job.

Face - Literally the day before our grade 8 graduation pictures, I was in my backyard getting some firewood (I lived in the country, ok?), and a tree top ends up breaking and falling on me. The trees in my back yard are all softwood and about 40-50 ft tall, and the section that fell on me was about 6 ft long (the trees were spaced really close together, so they grew really tall and thin, and would break/fall pretty often, especially if it was windy outside). It landed on my face, knocking me out, and giving me a big scratch from about the middle of my forehead down the right side of my face. It left a scar, but its mostly faded now, and what remains is pretty difficult to notice, and most of it is hidden under my right eyebrow. Those pictures of me with a giant gash on my face are still in our grade 8 graduation yearbook..... And I had broken my ankle just a bit before the actual graduation, so I had to attend in a wheelchair, still doped up on T3's.
