Will Leitch at Black Table, has a great, and brutal, take. Oddly his predictions are nearly identical to my Realistic ones. Then again he also says "keep in mind, all these predictions are probably wrong."

I have never had a really serious physical injury or illness *looks around for wood to knock on -- computer desk and dresser are fake! -- finally knocks on hardwood floor*. I am, however, prone to freak minor injuries. Not too long ago, I opened my closet door and chipped a section out of the middle of my big toenail. With that finally grown back, Sunday I was rearranging furniture and, in scooting the sofa towards me, took the top quarter of the SAME toenail off. This one hurts a lot worse, especially after I landed on it doing jumps in ballet class yesterday, and it bleeds whenever the slightest amount of pressure is put on it -- I ruined my sock today. The worst things about minor freak injuries is that, in telling other people about them, you either sound stupid, klutzy, or attention/sympathy seeking. So I have been limping around the past few days in silence. Seeing as how having a blog is already a blatant attention/sympathy seeking device, you guys get to hear all about it.

Anyone else have freak minor injury stories they want to share? I knew a girl in college who got a paper cut on her eyeball. I think that tops all of mine, easily. Freakily broken bones do not qualify, or anything that required more than five stitches. Bonus points if you didn't have to go to a doctor. Points off if you should have gone to a doctor but didn't.
