Ambidextrous!

I've been trying for YEARS to teach myself to be ambidextrous! Ever since I read the BSC book when Claudia's grandmother, Mimi, had that stroke () and she couldn't use her right hand anymore and had to be taught to use her left. At random times, I just start practicing writing with my left hand. I'm a lot better than I was, but I think that's just because my hands are more coordinated--after all, my handwriting's better period, not just with my left.

Let's see...
*I can wiggle my ears (not quite like Alfalfa but close ).
*I can wink each eye separately.
*I can pick up a pencil with my toes and write with it.
*I can spell/pronounce just about any word, even if I've never heard/seen it before.
*I can make lots of animal noises, including a variety of dog barks.
*My short term memory is horrible, but my long term is rockin'. I have a photgraphic memory, so if it makes it to LT, I'll remember every detail and not forget. The same thing with stuff set to a tune--I can remember just about every song I've ever learned, even ones I haven't heard in years. I remember lots of totally useless stuff though--one woman had to remember a list of things to win a game show I watched when I was like 7 and I remember 4 of the 6 things on the list. Why, I don't know.

I forgot to post my best one! I can light a match from a matchbook with one hand.

When I hear a song, I can relate it back to exactly where I was working at the time or what level I was in my education.

All these cool talents make me realize that my ability to cherry stems into knots with my tongue is just not that amazing.

I have an uncanny ability to remember songs. Like I remember the songs that we sang at kindergarten graduation. I can also pick up tunes/lyrics pretty quickly. Which is why I kick butt singing at Rock Band.

And I have seen OTW's shaka on many occasions Its pretty impressive.

Ditto! I can remember the words to nearly every song I hear, even if I haven't heard it in several years. I also remember the words to the songs I performed in K-5 as well, DophinChica!!

Like right now, I'm listening to "The Hardest Thing" by 98 Degrees () and I know that this song came out when I was 13 but not in 8th grade, had to be the summer after because it wasn't out when I saw them in concert that Christmas.

I can talk for an excessively long time without taking a breath. I think because of all my training as a singer and my oh-so-proper breathing skills.

It freaks a lot of people out.

I have a great memory for paragraphs and such that I had to memorize in grade school. I learned Hebrews 11 in 3rd grade, the preamble to the constitution in 4th grade, the Gettysburg Address in the 5th grade, a German prayer (by the way, it's the only German I know!) in the 8th grade, 1 Corinthians 13 in the 8th grade....I can recite them all. Totally useless!

Oh...and I talk extremely fast, a skill that is frequently useful for a radiologist. It freaks most people out because it comes along with a deep southern accent that most people associate with a slow rate of speech.

i can remember birthdays reallllllllllllly well. If you tell me once Ill remember it forever lol. I also know all the prepositions..i memorized them in 5th grade and i still know them which is good because they came in handy in my college journalism courses!
