Bruises.

Warning, this may gross you out.

I bruise really easily. Just tap me on the arm and I'll bruise. I have fair skin and am probably anemic, so I guess that's why. I'll find a bruise on my body and I'm not even sure how it got there.

Don't worry. As far as I know, I don't have any diseases. I'm just a bruiser.



This bruise was in 2002. I became friends with Coqui because of this bruise and visited Seattle a couple of times that year because of our friendship, so....it worked out alright!



My friend Craig hit me with the stairs at The Cheesecake Factory in Long Island, and this was the result. I have a more severe bruise below my knee on my right leg from the same fall, but I iced it immediately and no bruise appeared. However, I think it was the most severe bruise I've had - a bone bruise - because it's deep and any time I touch it it's like BLOODY MURDER pain.



And then here is my latest bruise from yesterday. I fell off a swing and BAM! It hurts, but I like the circle it's nicely made. I haven't iced it, but I guess I should.

(Thanks to my fair skin, I not only bruise, but I BURN, BURN, BURN!)
