Falling. I still do not think it was a fall since I landed in my feet, but... to avoid any arguement... I fell out of a tree yesterday. Yes, I was climbing in a tree... and I fell out of it. Why? Well... for a picture... not that I really ever need a reason to climb a tree... I would do it just because the tree is there and I am Merc... but this time it was for a picture. Oh boy... after the picture, I decided that it would be fun to climb higher into the tree... and do a flip out of tree on to the ground... sounds like fun right? Well... it should have been. As I got higher into the tree, I noticed that the treee had thorns all over it... at this point a 'normal person' would have turned back, but not I. So... I found a nice little branch that I could us eto flip down with... and then proceeded to do such. Well... this is about the point where the branch broke... not a good thing when I was hanging from it... and it is covered in thorns. I somehow ended up on my feet on the ground. Sounds like I should have been okay, right? Well... I nearly cut off my middle finger on my right hand... as well as scratched the crap out of the rest of my hand. I had a couple thorns burried in my flesh... (big thanks to Ong for helping me dig them out)... needless to say it was a pretty nasty sight. It basically ripped through all the layers of skin on my finger right down to... ickers.
So here I sit... giving everyone within sight 'the bird'... because I cannot bend my finger. Heh heh.
