The sillier explanation is that you are some sort of superhuman.

You'd believe it, if you saw it. Someone accidentally hit me round the head with one of the laser tag guns (they weren't looking where they were going and swung their gun round as they walked past me as I was sat down), which are solid metal. More recently, as my dad and I were carrying my sister's washing machine up a flight of stairs, it slipped and smashed my hand against the railing without so much as a scratch. It hurt though, a lot. My hand also got slammed into by my sister's microwave somehow in the same spot.

People gave up trying to beat me up at school, because none of them could injure me, no matter how hard they tried. Some kid punched me in the ribs and fractured his hand.

[Petrus Caietanus]

ah, I see.

I google'ed it also.

[Rational Gaze]

some sort of superhuman.

Actually that is inaccurate. Above average in terms of durability and resistance, mayhap, however.

The good thing about now living in a student house? Access to Xbox LIVE! I have begun playing COD again, and I still have got the moves and the magic. 15 kills in a row without dying on one of my first matches. Oh yeah. ;)

About a year ago I helped a coworker move. While another coworker and I were on the stairs carrying her washing machine up to her third floor apartment we dropped it and it fell into my lap. I was OK though, but I don't see that as anything above average in terms of human durability.
Sometimes it's not so much a matter of not being injured, but a tolerance to pain. I have a fairly high tolerance to pain, and sometimes I don't notice I've actually been injured until later.

Awake. Watching more Daria. Rock!

I never particularly liked Beavis and Butthead, but I was really young(like 12) when it first aired, and because my parents knew about it and hated it so much it had that "forbidden fruit" quality. I didn't have to like it. I just had to watch it.

Under my parents' roof, anything that was forbidden was absolutely and totally off limits. I grew up not allowed to watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or pretty much anything else on TV. I remember trying to convince Mum that Ghostbusters (the cartoon series, not the movie) was OK for us to watch. They even got rid of the TV and cable at one point.
I did religiously watch this one show called Square One. It was a kids show about math, geometry and logic. I loved that show. I am such a nerd.

[QuantaFille]

Oh, we were also allowed to watch Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. We even had the board game for that one. I liked that show.

[QuantaFille]

Oh, and Wishbone. Although I was a bit older when that aired, I still watched it because I like classic literature. Also, because my siblings were all watching it anyway and we tended to watch things together. Also, because Wishbone is just plain cute!

Reading Rainbow!

What? Why???

No, . . . well, ok, yeah. But Square One was just plain awesome.

[QuantaFille]

What? Why???

I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I think it had some sort of Eastern mysticism or something that Mum didn't like. I still haven't actually watched any of it.

You know it was!

[Little Shepherd]

I liked the Pacman-like segments where the green guy had to eat the prime numbers or the tornado would get him.

[Little Shepherd]

I didn't actually know what a prime number was at the time. I was very, very young when I watched that.
