the doctors at the hospital were very surprised i didn't have a fractured skull based on the superficial wounds i got from my head being pounded into the pavement 7 times at least

the pool of blood didn't get cleaned up, either, before i was released, i went back there to my old apartment, and it was definitely a ring around the size of a bread plate that my blood covered

i have a very rubbery skeleton apparently... i've had two cases of cracked ribs (including the injury from the arrest) and one greenstick at age 15 from a skateboarding injury

it's probably only that odd genetic propensity to highly silky bones that stopped me from getting a concussion, and it wasn't the first time in my life i had a head strike that normally would have led to a fracture, and i've learned now

last time someone picked a fight with me i used my skull as a weapon and i will use it again if i ever have to
