what a pain in my...TOE

tonight my wonderful roommate, Liz, ripped my toenail off and it was absolutely hillarious. yep, you read that right, she injured me and it was funny.

here is how it happened, i was standing in front of my couch tossing stuff onto my bed. Liz moved the couch in order to tuck the vacuume behind it. well the couch went over my foot and caught on the nail of my big toe and bent half of it backwards. yep it hurt. so much so that i had no response, and just kind of fell onto the couch in pain. i recovered myself enough to flip my toenail back over to its rightful position and was able to wash it off just as it started gushing blood (EWWW!!). now i gather that you are wondering what exactly is funny about this story.

there is a little bit of a back story to it now. i went backpacking over fall break and had to borrow hiking boots. now they were a bit small and turned my long toe's nail blue. liz gave me such a hard time about my blue toe. then the toenail fell off and now it's finally grown back but its a little bit funny shaped so liz gives me a hard time about that. anyway my blue toe is finally looking normal again and im feeling pretty good about it despite liz's teasing remarks... that was until my big toe got absolutely murdered.

the only thing i could think to say when i came back into the room after cleaning off my poor toe was, "My feet are gonna look like CRAP!!!" at this liz and i erupted into histerical laughter. then i decided to put ice on my toe, but we didn't have any ice cubes made... so i improvized. i held a popsicle againt my toe instead of ice. as you can imagine this was comical as well, so much so that liz felt the need to take a picture of me with the popsicle on my foot.

anyway long story short, my toe nail is completely tore-up. And it hurts like none other, but for every pain in my toe there is a good laugh to be had.
