Road Rash

This is a pretty sweet picture showing just how much my knee got messed up today. I was rollerblading to class and minding my own business weaving through people as usual. I'd have yet to come close to or actually hit anybody on my blades. Well, I got to a bottleneck in traffic on the sidewalk...going the opposite way as me. No problem, right? Well it ends up being a problem when nobody is looking. So I decided to go over to the woodchips on the side of the sidewalk, but the one guy who saw me had the brilliant idea of going there. Good plan on his part, too bad the guy behind him didn't see me. I slammed into the guys shoulder at a pretty good clip and somehow I was the guy who fell over. My knee hit the ground and skidded. I'm lucky it wasn't any worse or my head. It was pretty cool and now I've got some killer scars to show for it. On another note, my blood is very bright red. I'm glad that I have lots of oxygen in my system.
