"Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!"

I have a big nasty dark purple bruise on my thigh (tripped & fell on the front-door stairs the other night. It was dark, okay?). I mark so easily that it's ludicrous... most of the time I don't even know where the bruises come from...

Me too!
I bruise from playing patty cake. Honest. Little purple dots all over the tops of my thighs.

Oooh, I'm not the only one!

Heh. You and me both, sistah. I get hellacious hickeys, too, that last for a week. ^_^ There's more than one reason I don't bother trying to cover them up...I have them entirely too often. All it takes for a blue mark on my hip is to bump into the corner of the desk.

Ach, me too... and my old bed, in Florida, had a footboard. That I would walk into every morning. Took forever for that bruise to finally fade...

If you aren't allergic, eat pinapple. It'll help cut down the bruising.

You aren't fooling anyone. You talked back to Adam, didn't you?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Heh. I *wish* they were inflicted by Adam. :)

Oh...you must be great fun in certain situations. *smile*

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yah. I give pleasantly technicolor results in those situations...

Oh, gods, me too. It's the bane of having such fair skin. Well, one of the many banes, actually. *g*

Last night, while putting my hair in a ponytail, I noticed that I have a bruise on the underside of my upper right arm. I have NO idea where that came from. I have found, though, that when I whack something, if I immediately put pressure on the area and keep pressure on it for a couple of minutes, it seems to bruise much less noticably.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Huh! I'll have to try the pressure thing...

It's funny; I was about to write an entry about this. Oh well.
I have about 8 or 9 bruises on my upper thighs right now. You'd think I'd remember getting those, right? Nope. No idea where they came from. As usual.
