Minor Tweaks

I minorly tweaked my ankle while running. Oddly, it happened when I slowed down to walk it off. The pain appears to have gone away for a while, but it's a strange twinge that keeps reoccurring. Add this to all the minor scrapes and bruises on my body, and it's like I'm taking the first tentative steps towards body modification/mutilation.

And whenever I think about piercings and body mods, I think back to the waiter at the pho restaurant who'd pierced his fingernail. Not the pink, the white. He'd drilled or carved a hole through the tip of his nail, probably three-fourths of an inch long (the nail, not the hole). Through this hole, he threaded a simple gold ring, very thin, probably light. But, he'd pierced his fingernail.

People mod their cars, their computers, their personal belongings. It's all an extension of the body mods humans have been performing since forever. External mods are just an outgrowth of internal mods, making yourself "harder, better, faster, stronger" (Thank you, Daft Punk). Sort of want to figure out a way to mod my ankle to be stronger. Maybe some subdermal rods, or a titanium cage. At what point can I apply to become a cyborg?
