favorite scars...

[jussupoff]

My favorite scars are made by the beak of my beloved and now deceased cockatoo Tango. Especially one on my left index finger. I love the scars because every time I see them or touch them they remind me that he was real and they make me remember him forever.

I have a pretty good one on my abdomen. It's about six inches long; thin at the top but gets to about a half an inch wide towards the bottom. For some reason, I have never been self conscience about it. I've never given up on wearing cropped tops or little bikinis.

There are always people who like to point things out and ask you where you got such a huge scar. I like to tell these folks that I grew up on the South side of Chicago (true) and got knifed in a gang fight (not true).

When I was 21 I had surgery to remove my gall bladder. The knifing story is more fun.
