Many years ago, when I was still an occasional cutter, I went into my T's office with a whole row of shallow cuts down my arm. Her answer? "I am not impressed." I told her if I was trying to impress her, I'd have needed stitches.

Not on purpose, but about two weeks later, I was using a new blade and cut down way too hard. Took 9 stitches. I left her a note and asked her if she was impressed now?
