Six

Six weird things about me, while violating of this meme's strict rules.

1. I crack my toes. Not just with my fingers, idly, while sitting on the couch. Violently hitting my toes down on the floor, pushing against the blankets in bed, whenever I take off my shoes, before I put my shoes on. A very 'dancer' thing.

2. I also pick items on the floor up with my toes. Only when I am unshod. Well, if I am scrubbed in, I use my feet to move cords and tubes on the floor, or shift the kick-bucket, but among scrubs, this is normal behaviour.

3. I talk for animals and things. Expressing their opinions, feelings, and attitudes, as best I can interpret. I learned this talent from my Aunt Alma.

4. I am very exact about details whenever I dress in what I consider a uniform. Leftover from the Army, probably. I have my pens in my left breast pocket, tuck in the ties of my scrubs, that sort of thing.

5. I love puns, especially puns on familiar song lyrics, then singing them. This is a spur of the moment phenomenon. I'll try to remember to write down the next one I do. This always makes D laugh. Confuses cow-orkers.

6. I have imagined the deaths of everyone I know, both individually and collectively, and how I would feel and react. This causes me great grief in some cases, and immense relief in others.

This is hilarious, but I do the feet thing too! My grandfather lost his left hand and hearing in an explosion and it took him years to learn sign language. I decided I wanted to be prepared if anything like that happened to me. I started practicing writing and opening doors with my feet, in case I lost my arms. Now they are nearly like a second pair of hands! However, the skin on the bottom of them is too tough to read braille (which I learned in case I go blind!)

Hasty greetings from India, Zhoen. Have only had time to glance at the photos, but they're wonderful insights. At least, they seem like insights and I can only assume you posted them because they are. Thanks.

I think it's weird *not* to pick things on the floor up with your toes. Your feet are *right there*. It makes sense.

I do numbers 2 and 3. Do you have long toes? Mine are long and crooked and I've always thought that was why I could do so much with them.

Zhoen, I've been unable to comment for a while, and now I *think* I am able to. I really enjoyed your self-portraits. I want to hear some of your song lyric puns.
