Sayonara Thumbnail!

Some of you might remember December of 2003 (first semester sophomore year), when my toenail was injured. It was huge and real bloody...an all-around disgusting sight. Over Thanksgiving break, I dropped a piece of firewood on my toe as I was walking barefoot on our brick porch. That was the most painful experience of my life thus far: when I think of it, I cringe. The only good thing that came out of that incident was leaving my toenail in Jon Roth's campus mailbox, and even that probably wasn't worth the pain.

You're probably saying to yourself, "who cares?" Well, it happened again! While lifeguarding at the lake, I was helping kids get out of their canoe and all of the sudden another canoe smacked into them, smashing my thumb between the canoe and the dock. The hilarious part was that I forgot all about it, and a couple days later when my thumbnail was throbbing and swollen, I had no clue why. Silly Libby. But after living with my swollen, fluid-filled thumbnail for about a week, the whole incident came back to me. Obviously, this injury came no where close to matching the pain of that horrible day in December, 2003. But now I'm losing my thumbnail, so it couldn't've been too wimpy. Aight, I'm out for the night. Catch y'all lata.
