almost stopped breathing
thats really all

Almost got hit by oncoming traffic while a vehicle in a convoy decided to stop while driving into a parking lot. stuff was frightening.


One time I farted so hard my star fish felt like it went inside-out and it felt weird so I had to go to the doctor's.

Turns out I didn't have my star fish inside-out. I didn't want to check


Probably a good few times.

The two substantial ones that I remember are once when I was probably about six, when I was at a gas station in Illinois and one of those old-timey light fixtures fell down and hit me. I don't remember much from the accident but shortly afterwords I do remember a paramedic examining me.

The other time was slightly later, when I was about eight, when I decided to drive a mini-motor cycle around my apartment complex. Needless to say, I was driving at least ~30mph and didn't know how to use the breaks. I nearly collided with an SUV backing out of a parking space, and then skidded across the pavement, losing ~90% of the skin on my left arm, busting up my left knee and even my left shoulder.

Good fun.

Archimedes's story reminds me of a harrowing experience my dad had.

It was probably in 2004-05 when I lived near Champaign, IL. He would come home from work around 5ish. One day, he didn't come back. At first, I thought nothing of it and figured he was picking stuff up on the way home. Six passed....seven....eight....n ine....my mom was totally freaked out because his phone kept going to voicemail. I went to bed around 11:30 and he still wasn't back. I think he ended up home in the wee hours of the morning with a severe head injury. I don't know all that happened, but I heard it this way:

He was in Old Navy and as he was coming into the store, the top of the steel doorframe crashed down on his head. I guess he was bleeding everywhere cause the staff took him into the storerooms and put bandages and stuff on him. I don't know anything else though or how he got home.

You just shat your pants, didn't you?


When I was little I was pushed into a corner of a wall head first and cracked my head open. I survived. I choked on hard candy mints twice, but they went down in time.

OH forget THAT REMINDS ME

okay I've told this story before so you might have heard it before but forget you I'm telling it again


so when I was 7 me and my brother shared a room, and I was jumping back and fourth between our twin beds. one of my jumps fell short and my forehead hit the railing of the bed. (which is loving metal, might I add)

blood was coming down like a waterfall. I didn't want to pull my hand off my forehead to put the bandaid on lol

also I was 7 and stupid and I was so scared of my bandaid falling off so I literally just put more on. half my forehead was bandaids.

Was repelling down a 50ft tower and I didn't have my harness on correctly

Ended up flipped upside down and was holding onto the harness will all my forgetin strength to stay in it while the dude at the top pulled me up

did a backflip in a bounce-house and landed on my neck, i couldn't breathe and thought to myself

"forget"
