10 short ways by which I don't usually introduce myself (with thanks to [livejournal.com profile] syleth)
I ....
1. can twitch my ears.
2. prefer a temperature of about 15°C.
3. can't tell the time from an analogue clock without reciting under my breath that the big hand is the minute hand.
4. can read upside down as fast as most people can read right-side up.
5. have never broken a bone.
6. can clearly remember a dog belonging to my parents, who died before I was born.
7. can very rarely come up with a fictional name that does not contain the letters 'th'.
8. have never found that someone else had my username anywhere.
9. carry at least one crystal or gemstone at any given time.
10. played a B-flat trumpet for five years, and it still shows when I shout.

analog time

There are four significant points on the analog clock. Everything is referenced from them. So it is easier to say 'five-to-half-past' than 'twenty-five past'. The hour is generally not significant when people ask you the time so I generally don't bother to reference it. If they ask, I have to doublecheck. But then, for some reason, people rarely as me the time...
