Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

I probably could post about what I've been doing, but that's pretty much nothing but sitting on the couch, hurting. I am so bored!

( So bored... )

I was tagged by wishuponakate to do this. So, without further ado...

1. I can dislocate and/or pop every joint in my body, including my sacrum. I can always tell when I need to pop things because they get abnormally stiff. Most of my joints are hypermobile.

2. I've broken my neck. When I was 7, I fell on my head from the monkey bars at school, depressing part of my skull, compressing three disks, and stress fracturing several vertabrae. No one on the playground noticed, so I didn't tell my mum for several weeks, until the pain was so bad I could hardly move.

3. My short term memory is awful. It's not unusual for me to forget what I've done ten minutes earlier or the day before, but I can remember things that happened years ago down to the minute details, as well as random facts and the latin names of most of the whales native to this area.

4. My mother and I both tend to describe things based on colours, such as music (the piece I'm listening to not is citrusy oranges and sparkly yellows). I also have a very vivid memory for colours that tends to encompass more than one sense (such as a certain shade of blue will mean I can literally smell the ocean or a shade of green will mean I can taste limes). I didn't realize that this was kind of odd until I got older and tried describing things to my friends only to have them look at me like I was insane.

5. I quit smoking cigaretts cold turkey on a bet. I've had one in the 8 years since a quit and it reminded me of why.

6. I can write my name with my toes. It's not very good, but I can do it. I can also pick up almost anything with my toes. I guess that means I'm set if I ever lost my arms.

7. I had geese as pets growing up. My mum saw two little goslings at Agway and they were too cute to resist, so we brought them home and built a pen. We actually had to teach them how to swim and tried to teach them how to fly. They used to run after us, flapping their wings but never achieved liftoff.

You know, this happens every single summer. It's gets a little warm, a tiny bit rainy, and the equinox started approaching, and it's bloody frakking zombies all over everywhere, like festering, groaning roaches. They're the undead equivalent of anoles or kissing bugs.

At least June 13th came on a Wednesday this year. There's six times as many of them, all milling about, sniffing people's hindbrains like mongrel dogs when it happens to fall on a Friday.

I'll give them this, though, they're better than the plague of imps that showed up last year on 06/06/06. All hissing and mating on the tops of cars, and then dropping dead less than 24 hours later because no one thought to invent an imp with a mouth. I mean, good Lord, aren't they supposed to have gaping maws full of horrible teeth and sulfuric breath that would melt the bolts off a battleship? I might be thinking of demons, though.

I suppose at least the zombies are keeping the fairies down this year. I smashed one on my bathroom floor the other day. I found it crawling out of my dirty laundry, bold as a rooster, dripping glitter all over the floor and staring at me with its vacant, beady eyes.

Yes, I definitely think I prefer zombies. At least you can shoo them with a broom or distract them with a brainfeeder in the yard. I could deal without all the moaning about brains this and drooling that, though.

It's zombie meme day!

1. My username is _____ because ____.
2. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
3. My subtitle is ____ because ____.
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

**Please snag and repost**

1. My username is devilgrrl because I like pin-up art, the Altoids devil girl, and my website is devilgrrl.com. It's spelt with two Rs because devilgirl.com was a porn site.
2. My journal is titled "Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?" because that's how most of my entries are. It's a Lee Adama quote from BSG
3. My subtitle is "You should see the way my brain works sometimes." because it's the truth. It's the response to the title quote and it's a Starbuckism.
4. My friends page is called friends because I'm lazy.
5. My default userpic is the Altoids devil girl that princessbunny made wink and glitter for me because it's just fitting.

While I'm being truthful, I might as well offer up the chance to ask me questions. What do you think you should know that you don't? Anything you've always wanted to ask me? Comments are screened in case you don't want everyone else to know.

Online journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.
