In the midst of this week's craziness something awesome and somewhat gross happened. I'd like to share.
I've had a bump on my leg for about two months that has been hurting for a few weeks now. Every time I bump it I jump from the pain! In the last two weeks it seemed to be more noticable. After having spent my whole life listening to my mother warn us about the dangers of growing body-lumps (I'm not even kidding, she warns us about that all the time...cancerous!!!) I decided that the fact that it was turning bluish is probably not good.
I showed my mom. She gave me the speech and told me to go to the doctor. No time though, Conference. The plan was, after conference. As I was packing I scraped it as I slid off a chair and it really stung and I felt stuff leaking out of it. Relatively disgusted and in pain, I went over to the mirror to have a look. It was black and pussy. Haha...sorry...hang in there.
I started to try to wipe some of the leakage off and when I go to brush it, the pressure of my fingers makes the thing explode!!! "Ewww!" A black column shoots out of my leg!!
I was instantly grossed-out and the instant after that, curious. Black puss? No. Some kind of strange, hard, black growth? No.
I look closer. Turns out it was a 1/3 inch long tip of a pencil, freshly sharpened!! Around two months ago I sat on a pencil...haha...and jumped a mile up. When I looked to get the pencil, it was gone (I found it later under my desk) and therefore didn't realize that the incredibly sharp tip had become embedded into my leg. Anyway, that pencil lead turned into the black bump and it is no WONDER it hurt so bad!
It was so impressive that I saved it. I showed my brother (who is not impressed with anything at this age unless it goes into his Xbox) and his mouth dropped open and he said, "Wait...that was in your leg? That was that bump. No way." He was impressed. Heh!
So, that's my story. I freaked out at the hole in my leg (seriously, there was a hole) and ran to Fred Meyer to buy Hydrogen Peroxide, Antibiotic Ointment and bandaids. I doctored myself up and now I have a fun story to tell.

lol, one of the BEST stories i've ever heard. it's so good because it's so graphic.
...especially for a 1/3rd-inch pencil tip.
that's completely disgusting. i'm sort of sad though... i thought it was gonna be some kind of sick awesome bug that crawled out of your leg. what a let down when i learned it was just a little old piece of graphite.
