To My Sock?

February 13th, 2009 at 12:36 AM in At Home, Out and About, Rants

What.  What happened?

Yeah.  So the other day, I kicked the wall.  The reason why I kicked the wall is irrelevant.  I just got a couple of bruises and a dead toe from it.  That wall is a fighter wall.  I’m not kidding.  The toenail was all black and red-tinted.  Bloody toenail.  And I dealt with the pain for the first three days after, and today was the third day of it.

While happily searching the internet for amusing pages, I happened to look down at my socks and oh shit there was a circular bloodstain on the toe.  After describing its appearance to whoever I was chatting with on AIM, I took off my sock.

Fail.

Or win.  I don’t know.  Because my toe was clean, and normal-looking.  After a few days of being used to it acting all black-grey-red, and dreading it leaving me forever (as I believe that is what usually happens to black toenails), it just, healed.  My toe was saved.  My theory was that the blood creature hiding under the nail just crawled out and plastered itself onto the bordering fabric.  Thus the red splotch on the white sock.

On another note, today I went to the mall for some frozen yogurt..

In front of a shop we got dropped off at, there was a two police officers and a police car, with both its right tires parked onto the curb.  This confused me, and because I am often confused and I tend to ramble, I pondered out loud to my friend, C, about whether or not I should ask what is happening.  Then I said something like, “I swear that this is pretty illegal.”

At that moment, the police officers looked over at me, and I just rushed inside the store.  Man, I just want to rant about those officers.  They looked insane, like, the one in the driver’s seat looked all red and stretched out and drunk.  And the one talking to him was all goofy.  They scared me.

I think they were mall cops, actually.

The nail degraded, and eventually broke down. It likely fell off when you weren’t looking.

I find it unlikely that the nail could have healed after that kind of blunt trauma.

I don’t know. The nail is still very much there. With no big signs of damage. I think the damaged skin was the thing that fell off.

oh, I thought that you said the nail was hurt, maybe your right, and it was just capillary damage on the surface, I have had that problem before when I fell off of a wagon and hit my knee so ahrd thet the blood seeped from the bruise.

does anybody ever really read this blog, or am I alone?

Shannon said at February 14th, 2009

Visitors fluctuate. Depending on how active I am on the blogosphere. And some friends supposedly read this.

Blood creatures scare me so bad. Even though most of mind in up accidentally self-inflicted, as I am one of no-nosebleeds. Thank god.

Ignore the mall cops. They are evil and really have no jurisdiction to do anything that really needs doing. They eat donuts and look mean and take your camera away.

I read this blog! I just…lurk a bit. Lol.

Also, your comment box is doing this weird thing where it’s half the size of the name fields…

Shannon said at February 15th, 2009

Whoa, I’ll look into the comment box. It isn’t doing that to me, though.

I apologize, once again for the black toe.

Love, C.

Shannon said at February 18th, 2009

It’s all good, Cyn.
