i am weak

By unfortunate circumstances over which I have no control, I think I suffer from mild thrombocytopenia.

thrombocytopenia (n.) - 1) a condition in which platelet count is reduced, associated with bleeding and bruising easily; 2) being a wuss.

As in, after only a couple of dives during volleyball yesterday, I now have a 2-inch-diameter bruise on the inside of my left knee, as well as various blood blisters on my arm. I used to get bruised badly ALL THE TIME during soccer, but I never thought anything of it because we played a pretty violent version of soccer; the kicks to my shins were hard and frequent enough to warrant the extensive bruising.

This, however, makes me a pansy. I am so not amused.
