A Simple Scar, but weird
By Heather Zack

The story of how I got this scar on my thumb in the picture is when I was 8 years old, it was on my 8th birthday. My mom had gotten me Italian bread because I absolutely love Italian bread. So I went out to the kitchen to cut myself a slice, figuring I was old enough and knew how to cut bread and it was on the stove door, I could cut it myself, I did and I had also cut a slice of my thumb.. but Luckily I felt the pain of the knife, it was a big knife, I think it's 8 inches, my mom still has that knife.. back to the story, I don't remember if I screamed or yelled or said Ouch! All I remember is my dad came out grabbed me ran me back to the bathroom and ran cold water on it, I was too little yet for the kitchen sink.. I remember Complaining the water was too cold.
He ran the water for awhile on my thumb and then I think he dried it off and then he put the slab of my skin back on the tip, I hadn't cut it the whole way off, He then put a band aid on it as tight as he could.
The Ironic thing about this photo is the way the scar is seen.. The scar doesn't really look like that, but I guess the camera took like an x-ray look of it. I was just playing around with the camera and putting my hand in front of it and when I loaded the picture off and looked at it, I noticed how the scar looked in the picture. The way the scar is seen off Camera is completely healed, though there is a round scar just like what you see, it did heal and it's not like it is seen in this photo. And there's still nerves in it and I can feel on the slab that was cut off, I just don't know why it showed up like that in the photo, it's weird.
So I was wondering who else has any weird scars, Scars that are accidentally.. Scars to me are cool, I like scars, I have many scars, but I only got the picture of this one.
I'm going to say about my other scars, but not picture them because I've not gotten then all on pictures. Some of them I rather not show because some of them or most of them were self inflected I was a lonely child, BUT happy, though most of the time I'd get upset at one of my parents and resort to it. And I'd always think to myself that I was ugly, no one would want me and just all bad things, UNTIL I got into Alice Cooper's Music, (I posted photos of the things I have of his things only because I only have one picture of my scar and this is part of my story and I hope the mag don't mind) when I was 16 and a half in November 2000 I always knew whom he is.. I basically grew up listening to his music and listening to a lot of his musician friends.. Also he is my faith, my hero, my mentor. He is a great lyricists and he always puts messages within his music, which I admire him for that because he's help me and many several others as well. In December on the 26 2000 I had gotten his "Brutal Planet" album, and I was surprised that he too knew that it's such a brutal planet.. now brutal planet can mean anything, but even with the title of that, there was messages in there about what's going on in the world. But with this album it also helped me to like myself and to know that I wasn't the only one who knew about the world. So he is my hero and his daughter Calico and his wife Sheryl are people that I also look up to.. I also want to help out with his charities! I watch golf because he's a 4 handicap.
I know This is supposed to be about my scar, but I don't have any other pictures and my story was too short and it wouldn't post, So I thought I'd say about Alice Cooper and how he's helped and inspired me and I also thought that maybe there's not enough photos. :) Also The Rock N' Roll Hall OF Fame still has NOT induced him.. If he's induced because of this story, I'd love to be there for when he gets in.
