Impact damages the blood vessels and they leak, causing the discoloration, which hangs about longer and more visibly because of the aforementioned reasons.<br /><br />I always liked my sports bruises too...badges of honor. Love bruises are just another flavor :)Kaijanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-84190784792525316442010-12-21T13:26:14.674-05:002010-12-21T13:26:14.674-05:00Ok, carry on.

I like the way you remind yourself (and us too!) that it's the other things (other than work and being a cog in someone else's machine) that really reflect who you ARE. And I think you've expressed something similar to why I like extreme sensations, whether it's from an intense workout that hurts or rough sex or running outside on a cold lung-searing day...I love the pain that makes me really feel alive and not just a creature inside my head.
