Dec. 5th, 2003 01:00 pmI broke my nose last night.
This makes me very unhappy. Not because of the broken nose itself -- I've had one of those before. Not because of the pain -- It's not really very painful. Not because of the accompanying bumps and scrapes, or the fact that I will probably have a scar. Not the minor annoyance of having to wash blood out of my clothes, or the slightly less minor inconvenience of having to be careful when I put on my glasses in the morning. It's not even the fact that I have to breathe through my mouth -- which makes me feel slightly dorky -- the slightly nasal tone my voice has taken on, or even the disturbingly gorey things that happen when I sneeze.
No, I'm irritated because I know that for the next six weeks, people are going to be looking at my face and saying, "Dude! What happened to you? Did you get in a fight?" And I'm going to have to say, "No.
I fell off my bike."
Oh, the ignomy.
