Five weird things about me.

I was tagged by riverheart.

The Rules:

The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Things About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their five queer/weird habits or traits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and list their names.

1. My butt is out of whack. Seriously, my pelvis is tilted such that my left leg is about 5/8" shorter than the right. I ought to wear a built-up sole and heel all the time— my dressy shoes are built that way, but Skechers don't lend themselves very well to such ministrations.
2. I'm right-handed but left-eyed. That is, my dominant eye isn't on the same side of my body as my dominant hand. No doubt this causes my brain to have to work overtime just to keep my coordinated. It also means I have to lean 'way over a longarm in order to use the sights.
3. I have never, ever, ever locked my keys in the car.
4. If I take ibuprofen or any of its derivatives, the left side (and only the left side) of my tongue swells to about three times its normal thickness. The last time this happened to me, I went to the drop-in clinic expecting to sit and wait for the usual hour. Inside of five minutes I was being examined by three doctors and an intern.
5. When I hold a small object, my pinky finger sticks out. Back in high school, when The Invaders was on TV, I got looked at askance by my scifi-watching friends.

Now tagging: cflute, elfs, firefly67, rocketgeek, and valarltd.

Well, no wonder your feet and back hurt.

We need to get you work shoes that can be so modified, since your dress shoes pinch your feet and the Skechers can't be easily hacked.

I also am right-handed but left-eyed (due to amblyopia as a child). I fire handguns with an odd cant to my head so that I can look down the sights, but as for longarms - the drill sergeants in my Army basic training unit had a simple solution: I was instructed to fire my M16 left handed.

Wow, I remember "The Invaders"...but I've encountered very few people who have even heard of it. I've lost count of the number of times that I've jokingly said, "Bend your fingers for me" to someone who was acting strangely and got totally blank, uncomprehending stares in response.
