List is endless. Top 5. (#1 is the best)

1. I almost fell off a mountain. That was pure genius on my part. We were enjoying lunch after climbing this mountain on a relatively flat rock that overlooked the valley. Some idiot left the peanut butter sideways and eventually it starts rolling towards the edge. Being the amazing idiot that I am at times, I chase after it. I stop it 6 inches from the edge, but leaning forwards to pick it up caused me to fall. There was a small 3 foot ledge about 6 feet down from the big rock that I landed on with about 2 inches to spare. Not like I had good foot placement either. But I swear that peanut butter was safe all thanks to me.

2. I live on top of a hill, so our driveway is a big slope. I once decided it'd be fun to rollerblade down my driveway. It's about a 45 degree slope and maybe 100 feet long and not the smoothest surface in the world. I ended up putting a gash in my knee from the rusty side of the truck we used to have deep enough to see bone. Big scar, but no doctor required for that one.

3. For 3 years I worked as a volunteer camp counselor at a sports camp and I got extremely bored. I decided to play with the only thing that was in sight: a pair of safety scissors. The ones that can't cut skin. I decided to teach the kids that were watching me how safety scissors can't cut skin. It's a smart idea to teach 6-8 year olds that SCISSORS don't CUT SKIN.

4. When my old computer broke down (Pre my awesome computer knowledge) from a motherboard failure I thought I was able to fix it. It's probably not a good fix plugging in the IDE ribbon FROM the motherboard back INTO the motherboard.

5. When I was 6 I was taking a bath and slipped even on the no-slip grip stuff and mashed my chin against the edge of the tub. 7 stitches for that one. Almost exactly 6 years later in a pool bath house I slipped on the no-slip grip stuff and landed squarely on my chin again. Completely reopened the previous wound. 7 stitches. I wonder if I'll do it again at 18 to keep the pattern.

Those are the best. If I even think of another one I'll post it.
