Facial Scars

[elfgrove]

Mmmm... Pinched nerve -or something- yay. I have an old scar in my right eyebrow. From a water gun fight. That's right, my face is permanently scarred from a water gun battle with my little brother. I was winning up until the point I got that though. XD I think leaving the field with half your face covered in blood makes you the loser even if you were the only one with water left. He ran out of water, I didn't. I kept shooting. He lost his temper and threw his only remaining ammo at me. Water gun meet skull. Head wounds bleed a lot. Cue panicked mother and hospital trip. (Subsequently, this scar is why it's tricky for me to get my eyebrows waxed, if its done wrong, that scar becomes very obvious, because it's a small number of hairs that only barely cover this slash across the lower half of the brow.)

Anyhoo, the old scar gets this pinched feeling sometimes, and any pressure in that vicinity of my head results in very small sharp pains right around the location of the scar. So it's doing that now.
*pokes at scar* It's just a very odd sensation.

Yes, random. I just felt like sharing.

So, anybody else have scars with silly stories behind them?

It's not that painful, just really odd. Oh yes. 80s water guns are awesome like that. Bro also threw it like 1-0~15 feet.

Haha. Nice. As facial scars go, eyebrow ones are easy to hide.

Explains why 90s ones were so cheap and light, then! :P

Yep, for the most part. I get much more reaction over a red birthmark on my arm that's been mistaken for everything from a burn to raspberry jam.

Hahaha. ;)

Hmmm. Interesting. I bet that gets old, huh?
