Jumping head first into October

In recent years I have come to abhor wearing shorts, and that is due entirely to a scar I have on my right shin that I have tried to have removed over 10 times. I’m not embarrassed about it, I just hate scaring little kids (this has actually happened) and having to explain over and over again to people what the hell that thing is.

“It’s a scar.”

THAT’S a scar?!”

“Yes. A scar.”

“Can’t you have it removed? Why haven’t you had it fixed?” As if this is perfectly okay to say to someone about A SCAR.

“I have tried. Every time a doctor attempts to fix it it grows even bigger.”

WHAT HAPPENED?!

“I lived my life on the Internet for over 14 years, I guess. You should see the scar on my soul.”

Bring on the colder weather. All pants all the time. Because now the “THAT’S a scar?!” astonishment has suddenly turned into “It’s so hot, why aren’t you wearing shorts?!” during the summer which is totally harshing my mellow. Looking forward to all things fireside and cozy.
