Observant People

So I got caught out today.  Well, it was nothing bad, but I feel kind of weird that somebody noticed it.  One of the girls in the marketing department asked me why I always walk with my arm bent, "you know, like Bob Dole".  She was totally right on too because it is pretty much exactly the way you always see Bob Dole.  Stiff arm bent at a 90 degree angle with something resembling a loose fist.  I thought it was weird she noticed.  (I do it because my arm doesn't hang completely straight because of the elbow plate and it feels funny when it is extended). 

Has anybody ever pointed out one of your idiosycracys?

My ears are not symetrical. One is like half inch back, quarter inch lower than the other. A girl pointed that out one day.

Yes but I don't want to talk about it, it embarrasses me.  Sometimes people are too damned observant!

I do have scars on my face though, from the stupid chicken pox I got in 8th grade from my brother who laughed at me and proceeded to tease me about them.  The worst part was, I was in California for spring break w/my family and our German exchange student.  I didn't want to go, but had to.  Everywhere we went I felt like people were staring, and then my dad almost left me in the desert when we drove from Palm Springs to Las Vegas and he stopped for gas, until Kathrin told him I wasn't in the car.  I think I already blogged about that, but it was quite surreal since we were listening to Galapagos (Kurt Vonnegut).

Hey Joe, I think idiosyncrasies are behavioral characteristics...so you're lopsided birth defect doesn't count.

You know when I had chicken pox I only had 8 dots? And then I was exposed to both my brothers. Lucky. But I digress...

Yes people have, and I find it so rude. Unless it's something "cute" don't point out something awkward that I'm doing so that I constantly feel like an ass. Thanks.

Yeah, I know.  I think she thought it was okay to ask because we saw each other at a bar this weekend and we hung out for a bit.  That's really the only rationale I can imagine her using.    It was awkward.
