inconsistencies

i noticed something very strange today while i was working on my paper.

i write my "O"s counter-clockwise.
but when i draw circles, i draw them clockwise.

and then it made me think about the other inconsistent things i do.

1. i pronounce "orange" differently, depending on the context that i am using it.
i.e. "aw-range" when i refer to the color. "O-range" when i am referring to the fruit that you eat.

2. i use my left-hand to write, eat, brush my teeth, cut with a knife, and play tennis. i use my right hand to throw a ball, brush my hair, cut with scissors, open/lock my door with keys, flip cards during a game of Egyptian Ratscrew, open bottles, and nearly everything else...

3. i enjoy cracking every possible joint on my body (that may be an extreme sentence, but you know what i mean). but i kind of get grossed out when i hear other people doing it.

4. i can do the Vulcan Salute with my left hand just fine, but my right hand gets confused...


what are some of your inconsistencies? an inquiring mind wants to know...

  1. Haha, what a cute post! Hm... well, I use the Jersey accent for "water" (/wooder/) when I'm talking about water ice, but otherwise I say it normally. Also, I can imitate a vague English accent and do a passable French accent, but I have a hard time with Chinese or Indian accents! :P I can type really quickly on a computer keyboard, but I'm the slowest texter ever.
