True Life: Grusome Story! hehehe

[Lady Adel de Blakeland]

Some of you already know what I am about to type, so you may be excused from class. LOL *whacks ruler down on table top* The rest of you must stay and pay close attention or it's detention for YOU!


Once upon a time, in a far away land...called Lincolnshire... there was a young woman who dared to dream! Dared to dream that the impossible was possible....let me take you to that magical mind of her's.....


One day our heroine .. who we shall call Lexi, to protect her identity against the hoards who will want her blood...but anyway.... she was strolling a vast green ...meadow... which was in actual fact her garden, which has an annoying machine at the bottom which hums loudly at night. Never live in front of a factory, word of warning.... moving on...

What was this?! She spied a dragon that had left its crystal home...perch, type thing!! There was no fear, only pure love for those she wished to protect!!! And so she decided to fight the dragon! Grappling with the beast, she managed to lift it up above her head (use your imaginations) ... and throw it across the meadow (garden)... the dragon wailed, as it's tail snapped off....it's arm broke and it no longer had a leg....but as it left the heroine's hand...its sharp evilness split open her middle finger, ripping it down to the bone and nicking an artery!! The young woman gasped and grabbed her finger and exclaimed:

" I've cut my finger....oh my goodness... " then when examining more closely, the blood began to pour, bleeding profusely! Then she shouted " I'VE REALLY CUT MY FINGER...OPEN...OH MY LIFE!! " and went running to...to....find an oriental wizard who could weave the wound shut...the end....


Short version.... I cut my finger open to the bone, nicking the artery from a dragon model and now have four stitches. Amazing how you adjust. But for those who RP in the room, if I take my sweet time replying, you know why and I ain't being rude or nothing like that..... hehe

I got MORE grusome stories!! What about all of you huuuh??

Well as my husband put it when I read this to Him "well if anyone gives her a hard time about her typing time, she can always use her OTHER finger to show them just how she feels!"

Hugs* Get better soon sweeti

[Dream Loxley]

Ohhhh dear! Poor you.....hope its not too painful! Take better care when fighting off Dragons next time.....or any creature come to that!!

I do have a tale or two to share.......when I have more time......tommorow! (Having a few days holiday with my lads here)

[Dream Loxley]

OK.......one of my gruesome tales to share:

It all started with a roast lunch and an electric knife......I can hear you gasp accompanied by those sharp intakes of breath! ELECTRIC KNIFE you say through gritted teeth and furrowed brow......yes.....a gift actually *Insert nervous chuckle here*......well.....it was some years ago now, in fact quite some time ago as my youngest was still in a high chair, they were both seated at the table, Hubbie was due home any moment, as he would often go out for a ride or similar on Sunday mornings.......

I was endeavoring to be brave and slicing the meat joint with the ELECTRIC KNIFE......all was going according to plan until I stopped for some reason. You get the picture, preparing lunch with two under five year olds, it could have been anything made me stop.

Anyway.....back to the slicing of the meat joint.....I know....waffling as always. Yes......stopped for some reason, placed the knife onto the work top safely, or as I thought...and then the unthinkable happened......it moved! Yes, more sharp intakes of breath! The thing actually moved by its self, the flex actually, you know how they do that thing, it wasn't working thank goodness, the blades were still and together but the whole thing moved and as one would normally do in any situation to stop something from falling onto the floor.......I reached forward and.....yes, you got it.....caught the blighter!!

Of course, bedlam then ensued, there was blood pouring from my right thumb......I think I was in shock, everything happened so quickly......I can here your thoughts and feelings...yes poor girl, all alone and afraid!

Luckily we had the most amazing neighbours and my eldest, who was only around 3 or 4 I think, rushed around to get Auntie Marmite as he called her then (Her name was in fact Margaret *S*) We shared a drive way so it was only a matter of a few steps at most.

Meanwhile I was really panicking and I do recall quite a bit of swearing under my breath. The youngest at this time was enthralled by the scene unfolding before him, being entertained by it all and quite content to sit there and watch!

I recall Marmite arriving and looking at said thumb.....she wrapped a clean teacloth around it, telling me to try and hold the two sides of the deep cut together and took over while we waited just a few more minutes for Hubby to arrive......she was a blessing as always and fed the lads while I was whisked away to Casualty..........

Several hours later and 4 stitches to my thumb.........home again to find ail the food cleared away, lads comfortable and safe........electric knife still where I left it.......and yes......gasp away.......blood on the walls and ceiling!!

Suffice to say I never handled that knife ever again and refused it entry into my house ever again!

Silly thing to do........consequences suffered!

I have more tales ......but for another day *LOL*

[Lady Adel de Blakeland]

lol @ Cara and her Husband. Thanks for the well wishes!

It was more painful when the Doctor stuck the hooked stitching needle through the wound when it wasn't numb. () Mind over matter does wonders though, had a special someone who helped me get through!!

And ewwwww @ Dream's story. Lucky you didn't lose the thumb completely!! hehe look forward to hearing more grusome tales MUWHA..MUWHA..MUWHAHAHAHAHA *adds echo effect*.... I got some more too, but later.

Two cut fingers! Is that the best you can do?.... prepare for a true tale of woe and overcoming pain!

I call this Path of a Warrior:

Dateline, kindergarden! The mighty Connor of The Three Wheels was blazing down his dirt driveway on his mighty tricycle.... oopsie.... rock in path... Tricycle rolls, poor little Connors leg decides to enter spokes... Being the man he was to become, The Mighty Connor may have made a few wimpery sounds... may have had to remove a few pebbles from shredded skin.... but told no-one!!!

Dateline two weeks later: I shall call this... Path to Sword Dancing!

ok... maybe the actuallity was that my sister wanted to take dancing lessons and so her little brother was stuck having to forbear the same shame and building of fancy footwork...

Dancing Performance at local theatre! in which the mighty fancy footwork of Connor of the Golden Shoes was on display to the delight of all....

Afterward, "mom, my leg hurts...." in which Connor of the Finally Coming Clean is taken to hospital only to find that his leg was actually fractured in two places!!!

If that's not terribly manly then what is?! I must ask.... ;D

Ouch! I never had anything really dramatic happen. Well, nothign that was dramatic in hindsight. I did get carried off a plane once, in the pilots arms and with paramedics and firefighters waiting, rushing through the city with full sirene.
And then there is of course the infamous story of my landing in the ER, in London, surrounded by elves, and rohirrim. And no.. I was not hallucinating.
