First off: I'm not an old man, I'm 16.

This morning, I was very happy with my self for compiling some linux module. So, I jumped out of the front door with joy and sprained my ankle, and I'm guessing I tore about 40% of the tendon.

Now I'm walking around with crutches and ice on my ankle.

WTF @ self

Proof that Linux *is* dangerous! Good luck with your ankle!

Bad Times. I know exactly how you feel. I sprained my ankle pretty badly over the summer. Hell, I posted pics of it here. Show us the swelling and bruising

Actually, I am doing much better- in fact, I can walk. But that didn't stop me from being ridiculed at school for 'falling off my porch'...

huh?

Edit: I think I know what you mean... I *did* sprain my ankle. I'm just saying I'm feeling better... although it's difficult to walk more than a few feet.

It's kind of strange how simply falling down can be so dangerous...

This reminds me of another *stupid* injury. I was at soccer practice, and I was reminiscing about my old days of playing Goldenye. I remembered how the guys would roll out when you got near them, and I decided to try it myself.

Roll, thump, SNAP! My arm broke. And I barley hit the ground. Sheesh... from then on I drank more milk.

hehehe. We used to practice rolling when I played soccer so as not to injure ourselves
