There are random pieces of misfortune that have never happened to me (so far) and I secretly (well, not anymore) want to experience them just to know what it would be like. I'm not saying I would enjoy any of them, it's more a sort of morbid curiosity as to how I would handle it.
I'm not talking major catastrophes or anything, more like this:
- Getting stuck in an elevator (would I get all claustrophobic and freak out? Or would I be a cool customer and wait patiently for help to arrive?)
- Being punched in the face (would I pass out? Punch back? Get a black eye?)
- related: throw a punch (would I break my hand? Even make a connection? Have any force behind it whatsoever?)
- Getting stitches (this one kind of surprises me. For as many injuries as I've sustained due to being completely accident prone, I've never had stitches - wisdom teeth don't count. Do they hurt? Would the sight of them gross me out? Would I have a cool scar?)
So, these are the sorts of things I think about pretty regularly, and part of the reason I think there may be something wrong with me. :)

When I was a kid, I was a bit jealous of kids who broke an arm or leg and got to have their cast signed. I didn't really want to break anything; I just wanted a cast and a lot of attention.
As for the stitches, yes they hurt, yes they are gross, and no the scar isn't cool. I speak from 4 experiences. :)
