Winks

There are certain skills that I just don't have, and I think winking is one of them. You know how some people can wink at you, just barely, and it's so cool and sexy? I can't do that. It always looks dumb when I do it, I end up squinching up half of my face. Not a huge loss, to be honest, because that little wink is so much more effective when it comes from a man. But still...

Another skill I don't have is the ability to raise one eyebrow at a time. I've always wanted to be able to do that, and always envied people who could. My eyebrows just aren't very expressive at all, and in my next life - or whatever life comes after this one - I want to have beautifully arched, movable eyebrows.

But there are things I can do! for example, I can say Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious backwards. And, now that I think about it, I can also sing 'Row Row Row Your Boat' backwards. (Thanks, Sarah!) And I can sing 'Love, Unrequited, Robs Me Of My Rest' along with Mandy Patinkin - and that's something you have to hear to be able to fully appreciate.

I can also type while watching TV. Not sure what we're watching right now, but it began with the discovery of an arm in a puddle of blood, and a lion on the other side of a door, chewing on what can only be assumed was the corresponding leg. It's either Medical Investigation or Third Watch - I never heard the final decision, and since I never watch either, it's all the same to me!
