This is completely random... But I've decided that I've had the weirdest injuries of anyone I know.
For example, in a soccer game on Saturday, I got a ball under the chin, which apparently stretched my Temporal Mandibular Joint (where your lower jaw and skull connect). It now hurts to move my jaw around and eat. Last year, I tore the cartilage in my wrist only a couple of months after tearing the retina in my eye. I've had two broken fingers, stitches in my eyebrow, and a taped nose because it got cut with a spade.
Is it just me, or am I prone to the weirdest injuries ever? Lol.

I once got hit in the shin with a baseball because I thought I saw a UFO. It doesn't sound that bad, but when you figure in I had a pre-existing injury to that leg, it was pretty painful, pretty weird too. I have to say though, you have had some of the strangest injuries I've heard of. (I mean that as a complement.)

haha wow. I don't get hurt too often. I just pull muscles in track and cross country.

Ouch. That sounds painful, Axle. Haha. I have normal injuries sometimes, too... I'm just amazingly injury-prone. I've had a pulled muscle and a problem with my knee so far this season, and we just started a month ago.

Odd injuries. But don't you hate it when you get a scratch or a bruise and you don't know how you got it?

Oh, yeah! That's such a pain. I get so many of those during soccer season... I'm a defender, so I get hit a lot, and half the time I don't even notice until I have a bruise the next day.

I know, I find it so annoying. I'll find a bruise on my arm by accidently bumping it and I'm like ow where did I get that bruise?

Yeah, exactly. The ones you don't notice until you hit them are the worst.

Yeah, I don't like those and I hate it when your muscles are sore and it hurts every time you do something simple like walking. Lol. Also, when one leg hurts and your not sure why and it's annoying because you walk funny so that it won't hurt and you wonder why the other leg doesn't hurt as well. Yeah, muscles, they're too complicated for me. Lol.

I know exactly what you mean. Having something hurt for no reason is awful. It makes no sense! Then again... If I'm alone and something hurts, I tend to make up a story about it. That's how I come up with some of my ideas. Pain can be very inspiring, lol.

That's cool. How pain inspires a story. I never though of it like that. I just thought pain was irritating. Lol.

Lol. I'm weird like that. It helps me feel what the character is feeling, I guess. That makes it easier to build a story. Once, my leg was hurting, and I was limping home from school. A whole story was born from that one stupid bruise. I haven't written it yet, but I still plan to. It might be a short story; it might be a novel. I'm not sure yet.

That is really cool. I'd like to read that story if you ever do write it. I'm sure it must be awesome.

Haha. I hope it will be. I'm sure I'll write it eventually... I have a little notebook that I write down ideas in so that I can write them later, and this one's in there. It's about a girl who runs away to join the army (medieval/fantasy world in which girls are allowed to fight, but her family doesn't want her to go). She becomes a message rider, and quickly rises in skill until she's trusted with important missions. She's injured on a ride, and she's sent home to recover. When she arrives in her village, she finds that her best friend and her former love are now engaged to be married, her father refuses to let her in the house, and everyone in the village basically disapproves of her. She goes back to fight as soon as she can, desperate to get away. The story continues from there, of course, but that's the idea of the beginning.

That is excellent so far. I love medieval stories. I think it's the horses that makes me like it. Lol.
