List #8 Things That Are Wrong With Me

1. I have ADHD. Not like "Oh, ha ha, I forgot to do that, I'm so ADD", I mean I have it to the point of it being a clinically diagnosed noticeable disability. I've come to like my colorful, flashing LED lights mind, but ADHD has made my life difficult.
2. I have wildly warped corneas, a condition known as Keratoconus. I'm overdue for having my corneas replaced with a dead person's. I just haven't been in the mood to have it done, you know? Especially since I would have to be completely still for something like 48 hours and I can't be reasonably still for even one hour (see above).
3. I'm irritable. My new therapist says it's due in part to my unresolved trauma, but I blame a lot of it on being of Eastern European Jewish descent. We're all high strung. How does my irritability manifest?  Here's an example: My GPS "In 500 feet, make a U turn" Me: "NO! WHY WOULD I MAKE A U TURN HERE YOU IDIOT?" That kind of thing. Fortunately, my bursts of bitchiness are short. And I'm very rarely passive aggressive. People around me don't have to guess how I feel.
4. I can't whistle. Sometimes spit comes out when I try.
5. I am a sufferer of bruxism. I grind my teeth at night- and clench them during the day. I'm not easy going. See #3.
6. I'm hard to classify socially. I can be the life of the party, and I can also have to go outside every 15 minutes because a room is too peopley.  I can strike up a fun conversation with a stranger but can also wish you would just shut up because my own thoughts are more interesting at the moment.
7. I have no desire to learn chess. Yeah, I known, you're a grand master chess champion, and I'm an idiot. Okay.
8. I have to have tissues on the passenger seat of my car because I never know when I'm going to think of something that makes me cry.
9. I have Nordic blonde eyebrows. Every day is a struggle to apply light brown eyebrow pencil evenly, and not accidentally look like Bert from Sesame Street.
10. During my first year teaching in Arizona, which was horrible, I kept wearing a pair of shoes that, due to my high arches, were too tight across the top. Why did I keep wearing them when I had a lot of other shoes? I don't know. They caused me to have permanent bumps on the top of my 2nd toes. They are not very noticeable, and it's not like they ruined my lucrative career as a foot model, but I didn't ask for them, and I don't want them.
11. The list is too much like some of the other lists I've done.
