Couldn't resist... I'll take a picture like Spazzergasm wanted later today.
Okay, since I failed miserably at taking a picture of my own eye, I'll explain what happened in this picture. Believe it or not, that came from swim practice. We were doing sprints, and a guy in my lane was passing someone else, so he was on my side of the pool. In swimming, you don't look directly in front of you because that slows you down, so neither of us could see the other. We collided head on, and my goggles broke, making the jagged edge of the broken nosepiece cut all the way through my eyelid.
In typical Aspie fashion, I was completely oblivious to what would have been very painful to anyone else; I was annoyed my contact fell out (but I caught it!). I didn't know I was bleeding until my coach said "Um, get out of the pool before you bleed in it." According to some of the other swimmers, it looked like I no longer had an eye (when I turned my head to look back at the pool before going in the locker room, several girls screamed).
I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital to get my eyelid glued, but after it flipped back up I figured it was okay, so I went to school like that (this was a morning practice). It was actually a very fun day, at breakfast I convinced someone that a hobo threw a shoe at me.
Here's another picture of it (also, to kind of stay on topic, you can see my other eye, pure blue at the time of the picture):
