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?

Ouchies. Yeah. They couldn't give me stitches for that one. Although they wanted to give me a few. Every time they tried, I would go into shock. So ultimately, they held it closed with some sort of tape and called it "butterfly stitches" (I shit you not). Thusly I have gone my entire life never having had stitches.

Aww. That's one that should be a scar just for the story potential.

O_o Shock from stitches? That's a good enough reason to pass on them I guess. 'Butterfly stitches' does sound kinda funny, lol./. might be a good name for a band. :P

At least you didn't have to superglue it closed!

Well, I was just 10 or 11.
Haha. Yeah, every time the needle or the deadening shot needle got anywhere near me, I would start to go into shock. I honestly can't remember much from the hospital, and that's probably why.

Yes, butterfly stitches sounds absurd. Evidently it's a real-enough practice though. Yeah, I haven't had to glue my face back together at least.

Yeah, young age plus the whole 'needles near eyes' thing is good enough for me. :P
