Scars
I have two identical circular scars two inches apart on my right leg, bang on my shin bone, each 1/3" in diameter.

The first was caused by falling off a v.high wall when I was 11 and I just missed being impailed on a pointed metal railing on the way down. I supposed I must of just managed to twist out of the way and my shin glanced of the point.

The second, however, was caused by some spacker pushing me into the path of an on coming bus!
We were waiting at the bus stop outside secondary school and just as the bus was pulling up, some wanker deliberately pushed me off the kerb! Using what felt like superhuman strength I sort of leaped, cat like, backwards almost out of the way. The bus was V old and had sort of protruding door sill where the pneumatic doors open and closed.
It was the edge of this sill that neatly took a clean divet out of my leg as the bus continued on to the front of que.

To say I was in shock, was an understatement, and it bled like a stuck pig for days. But of course I was too hard/scared of mum to say anything and it healed eventually (no stitches!!). Strangely enough my trousers did not rip! My scars do not tan, they feel as if they are both right down to the bone and people have remarked that it looks like I have had external pinning at some point.

Never did find out who tried to kill me. Cnut!
