I like my legs....they're extreeeemly long...one of my irl friends is several inches shorter than me, but when we measured ourselves sitting on the floor she was a good 3 inches taller. The only thing that really bugs me about them is my huge purple scar. I hate it.
My friends tell me I take huge steps, and they're right. If we're, say, running in gym class at the same pace, my friends will be taking twice as many steps as I am. It's nice, because I can run easily with big steps and keep up with everyone else who's trying hard. Half the steps, half the work. ;D

I am so happy I don't have to take gym class anymore. Something about being forced to do mind numbing games... Yeah, I've got a really short friend. I walk at my normal pace and she has to walk fast to catch up *snickers* I find it amusing. I've got a pretty short torso (sp?) and one of my friends has stumpy little legs but a long middle and people are always surprised to find out that I'm taller than her because when we sit she's a few inches taller than I am. I like having long legs except I don't have a whole lot of grace so I trip a lot due to their excessive length. It is fun to go climbing though with long legs! I can take really long steps and use my long arms to help pull me up like...in climbing up a big rocky part of a mountain or something!

Cal- Have you ever been indoor rock wall climbing? It's soooooo much fun! I've only done it once, but it was amazing. Long arms and legs come in handy. I really enjoyed it, we had races and obsticle courses and cake...(it was an old friend's birthday) I couldn't have asked for a better day. ;D

I have pointy elbows as well and sometimes if I prop myself up on my elbows in a certain way they'll hurt because it's one the pointy side. Oh man -- me too! I also have trouble balancing things on my head because I have so many veins so close to the surface Also causes me to get cold easily. And I've also got the long leg, short torso build, which is great for sprinting but a bit annoying when looking for shirts.
I have a lot of strength in my thighs from dancing, running, and bicycling, though you'd never know since they're only slightly bigger around than pencils (okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but yeah). But most of my power is in my shoulders and back. I can carry twice my weight on my shoulders, and I can get around almost as easily by folding up my legs against my chest and using my arms as I can do with my legs. Bit slower, but much easier in confined spaces Part of the reason is that I have so little mass, I learned early to put all my weight behind my shoulders or upper arms.
My fingers are pretty nimble, but they're not as strong as they used to be. I did a bit of rock climbing years ago, but I wouldn't be able to hold my weight on my fingers anymore. Better work on that... uh... in case I have to climb my cubicle wall or something...?

Heh, I want blue eyes as well... like, a not watery pale blue, but bright blue. Not that that would happen with my genes (but for a serious genetic mutation that would probably affect the rest of my body...) Oh, or maybe green eyes.

lol...blue eyes aren't common in my genes, either. but one of my best friends has light blue eyes, and its cool because the light blue part has a dark blue--practically black--edge ti it, a rim i guess you could say she's lucky...but i'm totally happy with my eyes. i also love my skin...it may need a tan((or two for that matter )) but it is sooo naturally smooth. i have never used lotion on my hands...ever! but it slways stays smooth...and i like it like that.

Lucky. I do the dishes at my house, so my hands are going to be very wrinkly soon. Well, I can see teeny lines on the backs of my hands, and they all look like miniscule little shapes like triangles and squares in the skin pattern.

Yeah, I don't particularly like the detergent I use either, it smells really... soapy. I like my bath soap though, it's vanilla and almond. And my hand soap is watermelon flavoured, so after I do the dishes, I have to wash my hands in watermelon-flavoured soap so they don't smell like nasty detergent. I think that's why my hands are going wrinkly. Too many chemicals on them.

Heh... some of the medical treatments I've been through did funny things to my hormones, so that for a while my body thought it was really old. So I got Old Person Skin in some places. It was pretty strange -- you know that sort of papery, but smooth and soft way that very, very old skin gets? If you don't know anyone over 80 you probably don't know what I mean. Anyway, so yeah, I got that when I was like 22, and it's still like that just under my chin and on the backs of my hands, though the rest of me is pretty much back to normal. It's kind of fun to watch it changing... like aging backward.
My hands are also rough from work -- I used to do a lot of yard work, some carpentry and car shop type things, stuff like that, and I still do a lot of minor repair. I also do dishes So there's probably chemical damage to my hands as well, and they've certainly gone callused and slightly knobby in the fingers. And yet, my fingers are very slender and long, so my hands look elegant if you can't see the details. So if I slip on a pair of ladies' gloves, I look great, and if I slap my bare mitts on a pint in some neighbourhood bar, I look almost normal. Yay! I'm transmanual!
My dish soap smells like an herb garden. Like lemon grass and thyme and stuff. And my laundry soap smells like pressed linen. But my hand soap smells like artificial peaches, so that's why I use my dish soap as hand soap and hope my guests use up the peach soap

My hands are rough and I always make sure I have lotion with me for that very fact. I'm not sure why, it might be the soap I use, I just put the dishes in the dishwasher...soo...I can't say that...but in the summer time, especially, they get dried out and around my cuticles and such because I like to garden and I rarely wear gloves when I'm out, so I normally have dry skin on my hand and scratches.
Someone once told me I had old hands on the palm side because they are all wrinkly but on the outside they said I look like I have very delitcate hands. I wonder if it is because of gardening and mucking out stalls and farm work and stuff I used to do during the summers?
My current soap, I don't have any particular soap I like better, smells like fresh vegetables and a little bit like soap smell.
