You all are going to think I'm lying out my ass when reading this list...
- I'm pretty tall, about half-inch shy of 6'. Shoe shopping is damn impossible since my feet are women's size 12 or 13.
- If I stretch my arms out and you measure fingertip to fingertip, my arm span is 6'8". Yeah, I'm built like a monkey.
- My stretched-out hand, measured from pinky tip to thumb tip, is 9.5". That's bigger than any guy I ever dated.
- Similarly, measuring from my wrist to the top of my middle finger, is 8".
- I have a 15-key reach on a grand piano and 9-fret low-e to high-e reach on a Fender Strat.
- My arms are double-jointed, so I can contort them all around my body. If I wrap my arms around myself (like a hug) I can touch my fingers behind my back.
- Like someone before me in this thread, I'm a supertaster
- I have the bones for 12 toes, but you can only see 10 from the outside. The extra toes are inside my feet and run perpendicular to the underside of the rest of my bones, meaning that I balance entirely on a heel and three often-bruised bones. That makes me more wobbly than most people.
- I have 13 nipples. Yes, you read that correctly. No, I'm not posting pics.
Apparently, extra nipples are somewhat more common among those of us born in central-U.S. farm country like I was.
- Except for my back, every joint in my body cracks almost every time I move them. That's been going on my entire life. Both sides of my jaw crack every time I open my mouth, even to chew. I HATE when people cringe and make ongoing comments about it, because I'd stop it if I could. Fuckwits.
- Pay no attention to my avatar picture, I'm a natural redhead. I have red hair and blue eyes, both on the rare end of the spectrum
- Speaking of rare, I'm left-handed (only about 10-15% of the population), female (only about 10% of lefties), and both of my parents are right-handed (only about 2% of lefties have two righty parents).
- My brain doesn't process color correctly. Specifically, it doesn't re-organize the color spectrum into a single focal point, and so I can't see more than one color clearly at a time. For cooler colors (blue, purple, dark greens, etc.) I'm nearsighted to about -2.00. On the other end (red, yellow, orange, white) I'm farsighted at nearly +4.00. This means I have six different pairs of glasses for different shades of ambient lighting. Yet I'm still half blind all the time!
- My voice is incredibly flexible... I scare the shit out of people with my Barney impression.

Like I said, you must all think I'm full of shit now. lol
