you should see the other guy. no really!

i smashed my face this weekend.
on another girl's face.
we were both running full speed.
from two different directions.
at the same goal.
a frisbee, of course.

the crack heard round the world.

no really, people said on the next field over players stopped playing for a moment because they heard that horrible cracking sound of bone hitting bone.

the outcome:
me- black eye, swollen jaw joint, bruised cheek bone, tender face overall, painful jaw muscle
her- a trip to the hospital, a level 4 concussion, a split brow that needed 2 stitches, and i'm sure some bruising as well.

i iced my face for 45 minutes then played the rest of the weekend.


lesson learned: i am invincible.

i'm debating posting a picture only because my last black eye (compliments of you, dm) was far superior and eclipses this current one in both size and quality.

as cass put it, "it looks like a baby punched you."

maybe.
