lucoSo, if you've seen pictures of my room or those of my friends that I've posted here, then you will know that I own multiple swords.
Well, today I needed to pull one down to see how it looked and reflected light for a picture I wanted to work on. So I pull it down and slide it and examine the blade. While doing this, I manage to trip and land on blade.
...
Don't panic.
It's a show sword, so not that sharp, but the wound looked bad enough 4 hours ago that my friends rushed me to the hospital and while I didn't need stitches, I was getting feverish so I needed some shots.
And now I have another scar on my face! So surprised it didn't get my eye, but the doctor said it was because of the shape of my cheekbone and that I was damn lucky. I still think everyone was over-reacting but..
...
This laptops webcam is pretty damn nice.....
Anyways, I loved the looks on the faces of the hospital staff when I told them I fell on a sword. Don't know what my mom is going to say though....

I second the opinion about vitamin E cream. I scar really easy and use to have heaps of acne scars on my back, but my mum bought me this special anti-scarring vitamin E cream stuff and it really works :)
