I have a scar on my wrist where I was slashed across the wrist by this chav when I was 10.
I've taken LSD and done a small line. However, I only did that once because I realised it was going to turn into an addition (when I was 13 and in depression coz my parents were about to split).

I have a small scar on the top of my right wrist. Anybody who went to school in the late 80's or early 90's remembers that stupid Eraser Burn game. (For reasons that still escape me, we all thought it was great fun to take an eraser and rub it as fast and hard as we could on our skin. The person who stopped first was the "weak" one. I didn't stop first, so now I have a small burn scar.)
I also have a group of small scars across my knuckles. Partly this is from hitting things when I got mad. (Bad anger problem, finally under control.) Mostly, though, this is from playing Quarters. (Same time as that stupid Eraser game. We'd start a quarter/dime/nickle spinning. We'd take turns flicking it to keep it going. Whoever knocked it down had to put their fist on the table, knuckles down and facing the other side of the table. The other player would then slam the coin, using his thumb to sort of "sling shot" it, into you knuckles.)
God, we were all so stupid!

Never did the knuckle game, but I do remember the eraser. I think I was in 4th grade or so when somebody said you can erase your skin. I of course didn't believe him. I mean it just doesn't seem possible to you at that age. So I of course did it. I've got the same scar. Luckily, it's not a bad scar. You can barely see it. You mentioning that thought made me laugh. Glad I wasn't the only gullible one. lol.

I'd have other things that I could say but they're a little more intimate and I'd rather not go there. So...
Hmm...
I started reading by myself at the age of 3. First words I read: coca-cola (explains my addiction to it now?

)
I have a very good musical ear and I can easily "copy" a piano background from a song. First time I touched a piano, I was 5, and I started playing "Happy Birthday to you" without ever having had any lessons. Dad decided to put me into a Music School after that

I am completely TERRIBLE for math. To the point that I do still count 8 + 6 with my fingers.
I graduated High School at 15 and started Uni at 16 (the following year in August, actually turned 16 after 1 week in Uni). Unfortunately I didn't finish the first course I started, instead, I've hopped from one to the other and only graduated on 2005.

So on the topic of scars:
I have a scar on my forehead fram when my friend made me flip over my bike's handlebars. I have a scar by my nose from when an Alsatian bit my on the face[it almost took my eye out]. I have a scar just past my belly from my hernia operation. And I have a small scar on my knee[which is lucky]from when I cut open my entire knee as a child falling over down a slope.

I play the piano. Which also means I type fast.

Scars...let's see. I have numerous tiny ones from when I was a baby (my mom & I were at a baseball game, sitting in the car; someone hit a home run, the ball smashed through the window and glass went all over me). I have tiny ones on my hands from various things. I have one on my foot, one on my knee (dumb kid + bike = scar), 3 on my abdomen from surgery, one on my neck (vampire! no, really, spider) and one large scar on my forearm (remember, kiddies, ovens are hot and will burn you). Those are the ones I can think of right now.

Haha, I used to play that game a lot too. But quarter didnt hurt enough so the other hardcore players and I started playing with a 2 dollars coin, ouch!
I also have a scar under my left eye from when a cousin hurled a piece of glass at me, one on my thumb for holding a piece of ice for too long (you know, not the regular ice, I dont know how its called in english, the kind they use to make smoke), 2 on my wrist from jumping over a fence, list goes on...

How did this get on the subject of scars?
Ok, I have 3...when I got my appendix out a yr and a half ago. 1 for the airtube, 1 for the camera, and 1 for the removal.
I was a very agile kid. Very athletic. Never got hurt much. I have zero cool scars. *sigh*

Same here.
I spent most of my school-time nose-down in a book. I spent most of my younger life reading anywhere up to 3 grades higher than average for my age.
Well, my mother tells me that I learned by watching the TV. Then when my parents bought Coca-Cola, I read it. My mother thought I was associating the shape and the object to the advertisement, she got me a book. And I just started reading the few words from the book. Freaky cause apparently my brain associated words on the TV with their pronounciation and just did the rest alone

And yes, I've always been 2 years younger than everyone in my classroom. Which wasn't necessarily a good thing. When I was 13 (when I took the IQ test), the psychologist even advised my mother to put me in a "special" school for kids with higher IQ, mom never wanted to because she said it would make me feel like an outsider. Then after I became an adult and grew up relatively "sane" (From all the bullying and bad experiences I had in high school, I could have easily turned out BAD, which luckily didn't happen), I told her I felt more of an outsider in a normal school than anything else. I would have probably felt the same in any type of school, really. Kids can be nasty

I've always had it, it's freaky. First with the piano, it was a toy piano, I was like 4 or 5, no idea of musical notes or whatever, and just by ear started playing "happy birthday to you". I sing pretty well too (no modesty here to be honest) but I just have this musical ear that comes out of nowhere. I have fun transcribing the piano parts from songs I like, I've done it with so many now, also because then I can sing along as I play.

When I was 4 and visitors used to come to our house, I used to hide in the little cupboard in our wall unit and then I would just jump out at any point. My mum told me that people probably thought she locked me in there.
Also when I was a toddler I could always escape from my playpen[i figured out how to open the lock], so my mum started turning it upside down. But I started lifting it up to get out.
