I've actually had a story for my eye-scar for a while (got annoying, people asking about it all the time).
We were barbecuing steaks and my dad was tossing one when it landed on my eye. An eagle who happened to be flying 'round nearby spotted it and dove and scooped it right off my eye, but he left quite the talon-mark.Jan 03, 2010 20:01 by merendis -

I don't have a picture, because the scar was in the middle of my eyebrow and I pluck around it so that you can't see it.
But anyways, I got it when I was probably 6 years old. My cousin was chasing me with a booger and I tried to hide under my mom's bed to get away from him. Well, my mom had a waterbed (which you can't hide under). So I am running into the room, and I try to dive/slide under the bed, full speed and smacked into the drawer handle beneath the bed and busted my head open. We didn't think it was that serious and we taped it shut. haha. Now I have a weird bald spot in my eyebrow. Oh well.Jan 03, 2010 15:26 by babybear -

I've been slackin' here on Tweak... Sorry! ... I have a scar, but no photos that show it, as it healed quite well... When I was a little kid, I was hit across the eye by a shovel (I'm lucky it didn't cut my eyeball and steal my vision) ... The true story is: My fav cousin and I were playing "Snow White and the Dwarf" ... He was marching across the yard singing 'hi ho hi ho, it's off to work we go' and I was following right behind him, when he swung the shovel over his shoulder and I was lucky enough to catch it with my face! LOL! His Dad spanked him (which wasn't fair) because it was an accident!

I have a bajillion scars but this one is the biggest and also has the best story. When I was probably 15 I was listening to the radio and cutting out pictures in entertainment weekly to hang on to my bedroom wall. I would listen and wait for songs to come on the radio I liked and I would record them off the radio onto blank tapes. This would take a lot of patience. One time I remember this song came on, Toadies' "Possum Kingdom". I jumped up and ran over and hit the record button and went back to my bed to finish cutting out the pictures. I looked down after a minute and noticed there was a huge rip in my shorts. I looked under the shorts and there was a very large gash in my leg. It was gross. I had to go to the hospital and get 8 stiches. It's on my upper right thigh. I wish it was in a more noticable place because I like saying I have a scar from my love of rock 'n' roll.

I got this scar when I was about 13-14. I was building a model airplane, and I was shaping the balsa wing with an exacto. The knife caught, so I pushed harder, and it cut through, right into my left wrist. I started bleeding pretty badly, and it was summer so I was home alone while my dad was at work (40 miles away), so I didn't want to call him and think I wasn't careful enough to use tools, so I cleaned it, wrapped it in some toilet paper, and wrapped that with some duct tape (true story, not making this up). I put on a long sleeve sweater, and let it coagulate a couple days before taking it off to see how it was doing. Sure enough, it scabbed up and healed fine without any stitches. I'm probably lucky I didn't get some sort of gang green.

Only one story below is true--guess which one!
1. Gave one of my gal friends a German suplex on a trampoline, broke arm (needed surgery afterward and thus stitches)
2. Fell down a ladder while carrying a chicken (big gash on my palm)
3. Fought off a tiger that escaped from the zoo. The materials I had available were a pen, a rubber band, and a tire pressure gauge. I was busy trying to make a crossbow when it bit my upper arm (two stitches).Jan 01, 2010 15:58 by athanie-

My scar is from my ex-rabbit Hilda. When she was young, she was sitting on the couch and looked so cute that I leaned over to give her a kiss. That was the day I learned that she had personal space issues regarding her head. She lunged up and grabbed my lip, producing a V-shaped wound. I probably should have gone and gotten stitches; instead, I have this permanent memento from my sweet Peanut.

i've done this challenge before. (march of 2009) here it is again.
Wowee, my legs are white!
I got this scar in 1998 while vacationing with my (now ex) boyfriend in Cancun Mexico. We went horseback riding along the beach and my legs were eaten alive by mosquitoes. I had huge welts on my legs for at least a week afterward.
I'm convinced there are baby mosquito or Mexican spider eggs in my leg that have never hatched.I hate this scar. It's a forever reminder of that ex-boyfriend.
I rarely wear shorts because of it... hence the paleness.Jan 01, 2010 12:51 by lesamonster-

the only scar I have on my entire body.
I was standing on the opposite side of the road from where the chicken was standing. He just stood there, it seemed like he was standing there for hours. I stared at him, that's all I could do. His beady little eyes hypnotized me. We could have spent eternity just standing on opposite sides of the road. It was getting late, so I wanted to end our encounter with something memorable. I challenged the chicken to a staring contest. The winner got to head home, the loser had to stay at the road for the rest of the night. You might ask how we made that deal exactly, with me being human and him being a chicken. All you have to know is that it happened. I was the best starer in my whole first grade class, I figured I could take this chicken down. But then the inevitable happened. As I had my eyes fixed on the chicken's, a single piece of pollen floated by my nose. It was too much to handle, I tried and I tried not to let my weakness for allergies show. Enough was enough. As I had my sneezing fit, I gave up my high-held rank as Supreme Starer. I let out seven sneezes, each sending rivets of defeat throughout my body. By the time I could regain my breath, I was on my knees with my face in my arm, fearing to look into the chicken's eyes. As I opened mine, the chicken was face-to-face with me, no longer estranged on the opposite side of the road. All I could do was look into his eyes. After a slow blink, as I was regaining focus upon him, he pecked my forehead with a quick and unkind strike.
"My name is Pox, bitch."
...then he was gone.
I sat at the side of the road the entire night.

I went rock-climbing in Boulder a few years ago and fell and broke my scaphoid (the small nut shaped bone on the right side of the xray above). It's a hard bone to break, but it often does when someone falls and puts out their hands to catch themselves. I was in a cast that went from the tip of my thumb (so I gave a permanent 'thumbs up' to everyone) to my elbow for over *seven* months. Awful.
