    Grazed the whole of my face and inside lip - face plant while bike racing
    Glowstick juice in eye - drunkenly bit one in half to reveal a load of toxic liquid

    Broke my left index finger playing basketball a couple of times. I still can't bend it all the way. It eventually led to me quitting basketball... I kept on spraining the damn finger every time I played.

    i fractured my right foot jumping down a flight of stairs - still went on to take my TKD belt test for green belt 2-3 days later and passed

    3 right hamstring tears in 3 consecutive years - soccer. static stretching is the devil before an activity if your body isn't warmed up properly

    broke 3 fingers on left hand (middle to pinky) attempting to do a back flip

    fractured both vertically and horizontally front tooth on basketball rim in friends back yard. chipped, hurt like hell. now many years later, it looks quite new :D

    many jammed fingers from basketball and football

    sprained ankles from football, basketball, soccer

    bruised ankle from baseball - line drive to 2nd base that i missed and nailed my ankle

    torn lateral meniscus in right knee - had surgery to remove torn piece and to clean up the cartilage

    a couple concussions

    shoulder impingements due to swimming and baseball - overuse injuries

    i was/still am beastly at sports

    my injuries are small, of unknown (other then generally) origen, and are the only thing i've got to counter that contribution of anxiety to aging.

    their mostly small scrapes from the uncutoff points of fastners on the undersides of shelves, and the occasional insect bite.

    i'm not exactly more physically active then that to get any. if i lived out in the boonies i'd have a few additional ones from rocks and scraping myself on branches and thorns as i'm walking probably. as i'd be doing a lot more of that if i wasn't so surrounded by streets and cars and lack of enough decent places to sit down and the kind of things to see i enjoy seeing. i mean it's not like i'm in some old tennament urban ghetto or anything. or even a tickey tackey suburb. but it IS too built up for my taste to really enjoy going out and walking arround in it.

    most physical activities are boring to me, although my body is trying to tell me i need to get over that if i want to live very much longer. well we'll just have to see what we shall see. i'm in no hurry to get myself dead, but i AM still A LOT more interested what i can imagine and conjure in my mind and try to depict visually, then anything more physically active that would drag me away from doing so.

    I busted my head open countless times as a child, busted my chin open, all results of climbing something and falling.

    I knocked myself out in third grade when I fell face first into a pole when I was playing on one of the jungle gyms at my elementary school, broke my glasses in half and busted a tooth, and got a mild concussion.

    My brother jumped on my elbow when I was 12 and bruised the bone and the surrounding tissues.

    Other than that, I really can't recall being injured much.

    Pulled me groin doing your mom last night, but that's the extent.

    Oh, and I've had my toe dislocated and popped back in.
    Plus multiple instances of my fingers being slammed in something.

    Never had a broken bone.

    Feel like I'm missing out.

    I got a pea sized lye near my ankle.
    Scar from a cinderblock falling on me when I was climing a fence when I was 7.

    I'm lucky to have never broken any bones. I lead a pretty rugged life.
