I managed to punch myself in the eye when I was on Vashon island. It was a pretty good shot. The people who saw it said my head even snapped back. It was a little low to be a full black eye. It still hurts a little bit. I wonder how long it takes to go away I have never had a black eye before.

So how did I do it? At the Hostel there were these really large rubber balls for young kids (and us older kids) to play with. I was doing things like bouncing them off my head and kicking them to other people. We started to hit them back and forth like a volleyball. One was coming right at me and I got the idea to punch it as it came towards me. My fist bounced off (and I think even picked up speed) and landed in my eye. It hurt!
