Ow

It's not summer unless I get some kind of scrape that will probably turn in to a scar.


In 2010, the summer before I started college, two years ago (what??) I got road rash after my friend turned in front of me and I crashed in to him while we were biking. Then I go scratched climbing over a wire fence on a farm.


2011, the summer I started my sophomore year of college, I burned my wrists on an oven rack because the oven rack was put in freaking upside-down. Then I fell down some stairs and scratched my arm. (both of these injuries happened in my new house, which we all quickly learned was much more ramshackle than the exterior led you to believe.)


These marks are all still visible. The sad part is that most of them were pretty minor scratches, yet they still left scars, so I'm going to guess the ones I got today will stick around.


I decided that climbing over a pile of bricks would be a good idea as we cleaned up our back yard. The last bricks on top fell over as I cleared the pile, and came down and grazed my leg. It stings, but doesn't look that bad. I'm just going to bet it will be hopefully my one and only summer scar of 2012.
