I Drew This

I was tagged by Cellobella to write seven weird things about myself. I assume they have to be true (it’d be too easy otherwise, I suppose).

1. I have metal plates in my face. I had a tripod fracture of the left cheekbone during a game of Ultimate. Then that tryhard, James Hird had to go and copy me three weeks later. Sheesh… some people…
   And before you ask… no, they don’t.
2. My left thumb is bent. It happened throwing a javelin in year 10. I threw it with my right hand but didn’t want to step over the line, and overbalancing, I put my left hand down to steady myself but put too much weight on it. I think it had a slight fracture but I never had it treated. It’s handy though because when I play guitar, it’s on the perfect angle to fret the fat e-string.
3. I often think about what I’d do if I was suddenly transported back in time or to a very primitive place, like the guy in Mysterious Island, or Doc Brown in Back to the Future III. I imagine a situation where I’d need to convince them I wasn’t a witch with my space-age clothes and incredible scientific knowledge. How would I convince them that the earth is round and that it travels around the sun? How would I invent electric light? And then I read up on Copernicus and how to make cell batteries.
4. I’d like to have entire walls full of bookshelves, though without the actual effort of having to read all the books. I just sort of want to have read them already. Maybe I could just stand near them and absorb them by osmosis. You can do that.
5. I sometimes become aware that I’m falling asleep and that I’ve gone catatonic. It’s unpleasant. Being paralysed must really suck… Reeeally suck.
6. I have the occasional lucid dream and can pretty much take control of everything that’s happening because I know I’m dreaming and that I’m ultimately in control. (And either I take of and start flying around the place, or everyone gets naked real quick, both of which are fun.)
7. Ginger makes me freak out. It feels like that time I had snuss and could feel the nicotine in my veins. I felt sick and giddy… ginger make me feel like that too.
