[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Well, after the first few times, anyway...

[meegbear]

I tried doing that, but I realized all the blood I was losing I needed to keep me alive:)

[XemaSab]

6. I can touch my wrist with my thumb

and stick my feet behind my head (but not at the same time, sadly).

I can also identify by sound most of the birds in the western US.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Lost luggage. :evilgrin:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

[Random_Australian]

14. See something once, quote it verbatim years later, but not at will.

I can delete momories, it takes me about 3 minutes.

I can learn to like or dislike the taste of any given food in the same time.

Yeh, I know, I know, my head works a bit funny O.K.?

For clarification: When I say delete memories I don't just mean forget, silly. For example; I knew the entire of 'The Pardoner's Tale' and 3 minuted later I couldn't quote a line. (That was a few days after my exams. I was burning my english book at the same time so I thought 'What the hell'.
There's more to it than that but I won't go into detail here.

[WCGreen]

[wickerwoman]

22. I send former employers out of business.

Every single company I have ever worked for has gone out of business within six months of my quitting.

Pissing me off is the kiss of karmic death. Remember it. :-)

[stellanoir]

23. When so inspired by certain rhythms I have an odd social proclivity

of dancing with a slinky and rarely encounter many tangles but when I do I'm fairly expedient at untangling them.

[meegbear]

25. I am ambidexterous with a computer mouse ...

I am a rightie, but I prefer the mouse on the left.

[1gobluedem]

26. I can write with my toes

Not beautifully but it's legible.

I also have the innate ability to engineer a cashier shift switch, receipt tape running out, lanes closing, or a need for copious amounts of change the minute I get into the grocery checkout line.

And I am notorious in my family for having some spectacular accident at the holiday dinner table, like accidentally salting everyone's wine or upending the gravy boat.

LOL...sorry for all the dupes. DU is funky and I keep getting "no data" when I hit post. I know I'm basically empty headed, but that's just RUDE.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Well worth reading 4 times!

[Dangerously Amused]

34. Oooh! Ooooh!

I can fold up like origami and sleep horizontally in a coach fare plane seat. :7

[Shine]

36. I see dead people.

:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

45. Hey, cool! I *make* dead people!

We should go hang out together!

[Shine]

63. "make" as in "create", or "make" as in "do the wild thang"?

:scared:
On second thought, maybe I don't want to know the answer to that question.....

:evilgrin:

Hey, I'd hang out with you anytime, Rabrrrrrr. Here, have a cyber-beer, on me. :beer: Hell, I'll join ya...:toast:

:pals:

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. Oh, yeah... that was kinda ugly. I meant "create", not "do".

"Do" would be... well, against even my ethics.

And we must go hang sometime!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

74. shhhhhhh

[Shine]

76. Hey, you!

I just saw you joined up with that other, very cool forum, Divine Circle. :hug: I'll look for you there, too.

It makes me laugh everytime...

[chup]

46. I hate when you pull the tape off and it rips my hair out

[momophile]

54. well then, you shouldn't have been undressing...

in front of me, especially with you being so hairy and me needing to cut loose on someone.

[chup]

65. Im not so hairy I can afford a racing stripe on my ass

[NewWaveChick1981]

40. OK, let's see...

I'm double jointed in my fingers and elbows, so I can freak people out when I want to. :P I can also roll my tongue and whistle out of it (yeah, I'm a recessive freak, I know!).

I'm also extremely good in bed, or so I've been told many times. :)

[chup]

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. I can be asked for directions anywhere in the world,

Even in a place that I have been in for nor more than a few minutes.

Apparently, I have "that look" (I think I learned it in NYC) of always appearing to know exactly where I am and where I am going, so people are constantly stopping me and asking for directions - in big cities, out in the country, in foreign countries, doesn't matter.

[swimboy]

49. Streetlights go out as I go down the street.

Not all of them, but enough to make me wonder how I do it.

[Dora]

56. I can estimate stadium/arena attendance to within about 300 people.

Not bad. It's a little game I play with a local pro sports team (where I have a several friends).

And for a chick - I rock at video games. I'm the only 34 year old woman I know with an XBox and a permanent pass to Dave & Buster's. Trust me - you don't want any of this. I'm very competitive.

[MANative]

57. I can read and write upside-down and backwards.
