Ouch.

I have started a tradition of breaking myself on my study abroad trips. Some of you may remember how I emerged from The Grind Show covered, head to toe, in bruises.

The theme this year is... SCRATCHES!

Are they...
A. Epic tiger battle wounds
B. Devil rape gashes, a la Rosemary's Baby
C. Brick abrasions received from climbing into the attic of an 11th C. workshop, mistaking a piece of rotting wood for stone actually capable of supporting my weight

I'm gonna say A. Tiger wounds. Stay away from the French tigers, man. They are not messing around.

  2. umm, thing #B is terrifyingly horribly. if that is happening to you in europe, i'm sending a rescue team. it will be made up of a priest, an exorcist, a doctor, 3-7 prayer warriors, and a beautiful man to hold your hand.

  3. Aww, thanks Patty and Carly. It only really hurt a for about an hour, right after it happened. Stung a lot, now it's a gnarly scab/bruise. Carly, even though this is unrelated to the devil, I will still take the beautiful man. Please and thank you.
