My family and I have the weirdest conversations at dinner... Tonight was injuries, so I thought I'd tell you about mine. Here are the most memorable:
- I was watching TV with a wine glass in my hand and I was really tired. I squeezed it, and thought I saw it bend (matrix!!:). I squeezed it again, and it shattered. Blood everywhere. Somehow this big piece of glass sliced through the tip of my finger when I squeezed it. It was really weird- I couldn’t really feel any pain (because of shock, I guess), but I was really panicked and crying because I thought I deformed my finger... which didn’t happen- the tip reattached itself... Couldn’t fully use right hand for 4-5 weeks
- During gymnastics I did some flip thing and whacked my foot on the edge of the radiator lining the walls... The edge gauged a whole in the side of my foot, really deep, too. I had trouble walking for about a week. Foot looks normal, no scar anymore.
- Gymnastics, again: foot caught in the spring of a trampoline... limping for about a week and a half.
- Gymnastics... walking on my hands with wrist supports on a wooden floor. Slipped, hit shoulder/chin/elbow.
- Metal works- drip of melted lead landed on hand... major fucking ouch! Couldn’t take it off until it cooled.
- Hot glue guns... you get the picture
- Oven cooling rack, burned hand.
- Walking home with a bag of groceries. Dropped it, picked it up, and ended up with a piece of a glass jar stuck in my arm right over a vein (got yelled at all the while for dropping stuff).
- Scraped foot in a pool.
Blood, blood, blood! Lots of blood.
Jeez! After all of this crap, I don't have any scars. It’s weird. Whatever, hoped you enjoyed that as much as I did :)
Shalom, bro.
(eek! It's 2008! Happy New Year)

I hated Gymnastics.
- Fell off of the damn balance beam, hit my chin on the metal part under it.
-Cheerleading: I was the chic they threw up in the air. One girl wasn't there to catch me... You get the idea.
