Goddamn girls sport
I play hockey three times a week and yes, I know what you're thinking, I've heard it all before, but feck me, the game has left me covered in scars.

Right Eyebrow - Some old bidder hit me with his stick in my face as I rounded him with ease. 4 stitches, which they couldn't anesthetise properly. Fucking killed.

Nose - hit in face twice with a rapidly moving ball. Don't ask me how it didn't break, all I know is that there is a bit of a lump there now.

Knees, elbows and knuckles - I'm sure most of you have had an astroburn at some point. I've had that many, it doesn't hurt any more because the nerve endings are fucked. Lots of scars.

Shins - hit in each shin with stick so hard it went through my shinguard and punched a small hole into my skin so that you could see the bone. Got two scars that look like bullet wounds.

Teeth - saved the best till last. Just imagine being hit in the front teeth as hard as someone can swing a baseball bat, but replace the bat with the sharp side of a hockey stick. Ouch. Knocked tooth out, left an abcess on my gums and scarred my top lip. But the worst thing was that I couldn't eat my Christmas dinner; nor anything else for three weeks come to think of it.
