Weekly chat post!

[smeddley]

Here's your weekly "learn something interesting about your fellow inkstains members" post - which only works if you post something interesting about yourself in the comments! So, people out there, any unusual talents you have? Anything odd about yourself you want to share?

All of my oddities are quite boring, though I can write backwards and I did once bellydance in a giant bunny costume (it was Halloween, and there was a theme, it made sense at the time!).

Your writing challenge for this week (should you want one) is to write about a character with an unusual ability. Could be supernatural (I once had a character who could smell the future), could just be the ability to always shift perfectly from first to second gear (hey, it's morning, I haven't had my coffee, I'm not thinking on all brain cells here!).

I hate the rib thing worst of all oh god and it happens constantly and sometimes it just won't go back and then it hurts to breathe all day long and and and

and also you make me laugh :D

half the time I... don't notice when my rib goes out? I... yeah. once I did, it was over Christmas so my chiro was away. and then I got used to the pain, you know, so I forgot until my usual appointment came up, which was like three weeks later. but most of the time I don't know it's out until my chiro goes 'um what have you been doing'

worst thing for me is my knees can (a) go backwards and (b) lock backwards so if I stand still for too long or accidentally do it while sleeping then pain for fucken days, it's great

do you get the fancy bruises too? that's kinda fun. sort of. :p
