I've recently been discovering the amazing-ness of oldies music. I never used to be a fan, but as I listen more and more it's really starting to grow on me. Little Richard, Cat Stevens, The Hollies and a heck of a lot more are slowly finding their way into my music library.

My sister has been making fun of me for it, but I know she's just jealous :P

The Invisible Spot

I know someone who, when he was a really little kid, hit the back of his neck on some unremembered sharp object and had to get stiches. Now, he was too young to remember any of this happpening and grew up never knowing that he had a long scar on the back of his neck until one of his parents mentioned to him that he had had stitches there.

I don't really consider myself vain, but when I heard about this it kind of got me worried that I might have some hidden scar or something on the back of my neck. And I mean, you wouldn't really know because, come on, who would tell you? I mean, can you just imagine how that conversation would go?

Person: "Wow, where did you get that scar on your neck?"

Me: "Scar?"

Person: "Yeah, it looks like someone took a hatchet to the back of your neck."

Me: "Oh. . . really?. . . Good to know."

It would just be awkward all around. So to save myself from awkward conversations and to satisfy my own curiosity, I decided to see for myself:

Instead of asking someone to check for me, I decided it would just be easier to snap a picture, and after several attempts, this is what came out. (Since I was taking the picture myself, I had to crane my neck really far forward so that the camera could reach. That's why it's at kind of an awkward angle.)

The flash on the camera also kind of glares off the skin making it hard to see, but as far as I can tell, it looks scar free :)
