Personal Anomolies

I have a cyst on my right ear. I was born with it. It hasn't grown any bigger as times gone on. It's just there. Slightly noticeable when I have my hair pulled pack in a pony tail or tucked behind my ear tho'. (My paternal grandfather had one of these cysts on each ear too...)

While in kindergarten, I was stabbed by another kindergartener between the bridge of my nose and right eye with a pencil. Lead got stuck in there. No surgery to remove it tho' (not sure if it's ever worked its way out on it's own either), but I have this "blue" mark - almost like a tattoo - where the lead entered.

I also have this big scar on my right shoulder from a surgery back in the early '90's due to a dislocation. I don't think anything about it and haven't for many, many years, but I've had at least one woman tell me (in the mid-90's) I shouldn't wear strapless dresses because of it. I was an assistant manager of a loan company at the time and at an awards banquet in which our office was being honored for being #1. Whatever...

I think she was just jealous 'cuz our office won top honors and her office was #2 and was trying to make me self-conscience. It was her attitude towards us all night long (with snippy comments to our other employees) that leads me to that conclusion. Anyway, didn't bother me then. Doesn't bother me now.

I get many questions about the scar and my standard response is, "I told a doctor 'no' and he jumped me anyway!"

Truth is, my (then) 3yr old son was throwing a temper tantrum and when I went to pick him up, he threw himself backwards and took my arm with him. Ripped it out of socket good... 30 days later I had to have surgery on it to keep it from slipping out of socket if I wanted to lift my arm up more than a few inches. (said son is now 25yrs old) Prior to that moment, I'd never had a dislocation or a broken bone in my body ever!

Well lets see....
-I am VERY pale, practically white
-I am double jointed in my elbows and fingers
-My eyes are always changing color;any where from a bright blue, to a grey, to an aqua and even green with yellow flexs
-I have Macular Degeneration, so does my twin. Have had it since the 8th grade
- I have very acute hearing
-I can see auras (well with what sight I have left)
- And one of my favorites, I can't wear watches of any sort, because they will die in an hour or so of me wearing them.

I have one of those marks on my finger. Except I accidentally stabbed myself that time

Or I might've fallen, what was it? Ahh, such a long time ago.

Mine do the same thing. Most of the time they're a pale blue, almost gray, but they range from bright-ish blue to dark blue to green-blue...you get the idea.

I have extra bones on the outer side of my feet too. They used to break a lot when I was a kid. I guess they have mostly crumbled away now.

I also have a stupid big toe. It is shorter and fatter than the other one.

People are always telling me how jealous they are of my straight hair

I'm proud of it!
My dad's hair, when he still had it, was curly. I got my mother's hair, but his hair characteristics... I'm already losing it like crazy, comes out every time I brush/shower/sleep, etc.

I have really nubby little toes, and the nails grow almost straight up. I keep them clipped back to nothing since they are basically worthless. It is quite entertaining to see the pedicure ladies try and figure out how to paint them (I never bother, I'm so used to it that it doesn't seem wierd to only have 4 toes painted.)
I also have the eyes that change colors dependent on the weather or what I'm wearing. Blue-grey-green-hazel.

My eyes are changing color as I get older. They've gone from dark muddy brown, to yellowish brown. When light shines in them, they look green. I actually really like it!

I had a stage of my life that my hair came out like crazy, it's supposed to happen every 7 years! My hair isn't curly, but atleast it's shiny! That's one upside.​
