This week's question:
What's the story behind your best scar?
What's the story behind your best scar?
Some people will pay through the nose for creams and medicines to magically make scars disappear. Personally, I love them. They're road maps on our skin, and every scar has a story to tell.
Picture it:
Biting cold, snow-capped mountains. Me, teetering on a pair of skis. The rush of wind, stinging my face as I raced down the bunny slope.
Yeah, totally kidding.
Real story?
I was around four or five. An infamous Arkansas ice storm had hit (see? There really was snow and ice involved!) and knocked out our phone line. Living in the middle of nowhere, my mom loaded us up in the truck to head to the neighbor's house to call my dad at work. We were about to be iced in for days and needed toilet paper and bread.
I was best friends with the neighbor's son and knew the stash of awesome toys he had in his room. So while my mom and the neighbor chatted, I bolted down the hall to play.
"Don't run in the house," my mom warned me.
I turned around to tell her I was NOT running, simply waking VERY fast. Then I turned back around, and 'walked very fast' into a doorframe, cracking open my noggin.
I know there was some panic because it turns out the neighbor's phone had been out as well, which meant they would have to drive me to the ER. But the neighbor lived on a giant slopping hill (see. Big slope wasn't a fabrication either!). It took ten minutes just to get to the main road. The next thing I remember was a lucid dream involving a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sewing up my head. And now I have a permanent HP scar :D

Having an HP scar isn't such a bad thing. (And high five to the TMNT reference. Turtle power.)
I also tried to pretend I got my scar skiing. It's actually amazing that I didn't get *some* scar skiing.
Ouch! I think his is a much better story than skiing, though. I mean, you have TMNT, ice storms, phones being out. . . .
LOL That'll teach you to get snippy with your mom ;)
WoW! That's a killer scar story. Thanks for sharing!
Think I'll try this. I want a permanent HP scar too! ;)
Oh my goodness, Amanda, this made me laugh! I'm glad it wasn't more serious! I had a black eye for picture day in kindergarten because I ran into the corner of a wall. I guess our parents knew what they were talking about when they said don't run in the house!
I would laugh harder at you had I not walked into a doorframe recently myself. LOL
every scar has a story. SO TRUE, I feel the same way about every wrinkle and laugh line. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I think I would be prouder of my scar "memories" if I'd actually learned something from each one . . .
Yow, that sounds painful! I like the image of Donatello sewing up your head :)
Really a great photoblog. I love these photos:) My friend referred it to me. Looks like everyone knows about it, just I didn't...until now. Waiting new photos;)

I too am a scar fan. Battle scars. Harry definitely has made scars much cooler though.
