There's a tiny corner-shaped scar on my left index finger where I slipped while working on a school project and drove a single-edged razor blade into my finger. I just put a bandaid on and kept working.

There's a scar on my left thumb where I accidentally cut off the tip and had to have it sewed back on. When I tap the end of my thumb, I can't feel it anymore.

There's a scar on my forehead where I cut it open crashing into an air conditioning unit. A neighbor kid was chasing me with a water gun and I slipped on the wet grass. I needed stitches for that one.

There's a scar on my right ankle from slipping down a gravel hill with my leg trapped under me. My ankle aches when it rains.

There's a scar that starts on my neck and crawls down over my right shoulder almost to my waist. An angry red scar that feels sensitive under my shirt and pulls when the shower is too hot.

There's a scar deep inside from the day he said he could never love me. That scar you can't see and that's the scar that hurts the most.



Part Two



I swung my legs over the railing, gripping hard as I stood on the edge for a second. I let go and gasped with shock when I hit the cold water.

I dove for the bottom. The water was murky and I couldn't see. I groped till I felt something warm. When I felt his hair I grabbed it and kicked for the surface. I gulped for breath when I hit the air.

I slid my hand down his neck to where I could feel his scar and I promised I would never let him go.

Oooh. I like.

Poor scarred Greggo.

[catlover2x.livejournal.com]

Yes, poor Greggo, altho I'm sure it's the only visible scar of many. And I also wondered which scar of Nick drove him to behave the way he did. Thank you.

OH, that last line of the first one, those always hurt the most. Looking forward to part 3. Kelly

Um, part three, she gulped. I hadn't really planned… However I take requests because I'm a hopeless suck. That line hurt me too, so it must have been right. Thank you so much.

[shacky20.livejournal.com]

Just an idea, if you do a part 3, if not, it's perfect as is though.

First of all, that fic was BEAUTIFUL. If I could write half as well, I'd be awesome. It's short, but it says so much.

Second of all... your icon OWNS! Lol, AYB all the way. Now, if I could get that made into a T-shirt to match my "All your oil are belong to U.S." shirt, I'd be made. :D

[catlover2x.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I am kind of overwhelmed at beautiful and I hope I earned it.

Thanks on the icon. I love AYB icons, a friend keeps sending me new one he finds, so I'm constantly cracking up. Rocky Horror Pic Show AYB! Snort! I'd LOVE that oil T-shirt. I never even heard that one.

If only I had a copyright free hi-res pic of Greg I could even get the T made. However, if you have a fave pic I could probably at least make you an icon if you like.

The shirt is on Jinx.com here. (http://www.jinx.com/scripts/details.asp?affid=-1&productID=229)

I wear it all the time, and the questions about it get incredibly annoying. ("Why does your shirt have bad grammar?")

Could I get a Nick/Greg picture (any N/G pic, heh) that says "All your Greg are belong to Nick"... because, let's face it. They are. Want the ROM of Zero Wing (so you can play the real AYB SNES game on your computer!) I can even give you the SNES emulator to do so. What's your s/n, I could send it over AIM sometime.

OK this is frustrating. I read the directions on how to put a pic under a cut and I have to find a free website which supports uploading to Live Journal. So far I haven't so I changed my icon to show you the one I made for you. If you like it, I probably need to email it you. If you want any changes, maybe a different color on the type, just let me know.

It's very nice of you to offer the game but I'm on a Mac and so it probably wouldn't work. I appreciate the offer tho.

And I hope you like the icon!

[wicked-crayon.livejournal.com]

I love that icon.

If you want to e-mail it to me, my e-mail is bistromathic@gmail.com Although I could just steal it off of you right now?

...yeah, I still love the icon. And yeah, I'm not sure if ZNES works on Macs. >.< It's such a fun game, too!

[catlover2x.livejournal.com]

Steal away, but I also emailed it to you. Enjoy!
