I've had the time dilation thing happen to me a couple of times. One time (I was riding my bicycle and a car tapped me on the right side) I had time to lay the bike down and ride on top of it before hitting the pavement. I hit, in order, hip, shoulder, head. And as the side of my head hit (no helmet) I swear I felt my skull flex. At that time I didn't think - I'm going to die. What I felt was that a few more ounces of pressure on the skull and it would have split. What went through my mind was - how easy it is to die.

I don't have scars on the outside, I'm just scrambled on the inside.

Scrambled eggs, anyone?

My understanding is that time-dilation is actually 100% attention being payed, we normally only pay a fraction of that attention to something, even when it's something we enjoy.

wow scars now. this thread keeps getting more and more fun. i do however feel very lonely being the only browncoat i see that is pierced. scars though that is a whole new ball game:

big road bicycle crash last year. racing back towards town with a group and one moron thought he would cut in front of me and clipped my wheel. we were moving at 30mph and of course wearing the typical bike clothes, spandex/lycra and a helmet. i hit the pavement, flipped, and skidded down the road. about 25 percent of my body was covered in road rash, huge gashes in my right shoulder and left knee. all the road rash and the gashes are now nice pink scars.

i have two older twin brothers so i have numerous smaller scars from them.

i was one of them gorram stupid kids who thought it was cool to cut myself so i have a lightening bolt carved on my left pec and my whole left arm is scarred from the shoulder to the forearm. it looks really bad so i just tell people i got in a knife fight with a monkey if they ask.

Zoid have you considered some nice safe means of transportation like..hmmm well in your case maybe staying home would be best. I can see why you wouldn't want a tatoo...where on earth would you put it. I have to say you must be sturdier than the rest of us mortals 'cause WOW!!

I've been lucky riding, never laid it over. I kicked out a tail-light once, when a car pulled out in front of me, but it was in-town and I was able to slow down and move over to avoid rear-ending him. A friend of a friend wasn't so lucky. He was on the highway, and someone in a pickup didn't see him and merged into traffic. My friend must not have seen him waiting to enter, because his bike's skidmark was only four feet long.

No piercings, though I may one day consider an earring or stud. No tats. I ALMOST got one, but the idea of permanently marking my skin like that I'm none too sure of. I mean, the tribal tatoos looked cool as all get-out when they first appeared. But now everyone has one, and it doesn't matter that YOU had one FIRST, you're just one of the crowd.

Three scars. One on the back of my head from a fall on concrete steps as a kid. One between my left thumb and wrist from a machete accident while camping (and you can feel the knot where the surgeon sewed the tendon back together). And one from my vasectomy that you'll just have to take my word about. Then again, if you're ever in a position where you'd need to be sure, THEN you can check!

Zoid, have we met in real life?
Because you are sounding awfully familiar...

Moving back to topic...

Only my ears pierced. I LOVES pretties! I love to dangly them from my ears, and around my neck, and on my fingers whenever and wherever I can!

I'm not a body modifier, although I briefly considered a nipple piercing. But piercings on others don't bother me one bit, and if my lover wants to get their tongue pierced, BY ALL MEANS GO FOR IT!
