Wow, you have sexy knees...

"Really, how often does someone look at you and say
Wow, you have sexy knees!"?

In case you were not a part of my office conversation 4.5min ago, let me throw some back story with this...

I started playing roller derby a little over a year ago, and have skated since I was 3yrs old. Despite this, I am exceedingly clumsy and end up being hit down to the floor... a lot. It may just be because I am learning how to be a jammer(point scorer) and therefore have more girls coming after me, but even still I fall more than I should.

So, thanks to the charity bout I was a part of last weekend, my knee is fairly messed up. I can walk on it, but cannot put pressure on either side or even think about twisting the joint... it is quite swollen.
So, being a derby girl, I like to show off my bruises and injuries to people for some reason, and the girl I share a "pod" with at work and I have developed a good enough working relationship for this to be acceptable.
After showing my knees to a few people though, I am realizing that they are just not pretty. My delightful pod buddy's response to this concern is the quote above. While she didn't make made my insecurities vanish... but she did come damn close. :)
