Bionic Fingers

Some things you might not know about me:

1) I rarely have dreams anymore, or if I do, I'm not remembering them at all. I might have a dream every few months. This is pretty sad to me, actually. I had a lot of dreams as a kid and through my early twenties. I'm not sure what's changed, honestly.

2) I don't know my biological father because my mom divorced him when I was about two. She then married Chris and he's always been the person I've known as my dad. When I was old enough to understand, they explained everything to me and allowed me to decide whether I wanted to be legally adopted — thus I became “Morrill” instead of “Lepkowski.” I don't think about this often, but maybe someday I will try to look him up.

3) I wear size 12 or 12.5 shoes.

4) I have never been ice-skating or roller-blading. The former I will be hopefully remedying this winter. Related: I have an irrational, slight fear that I will fall when ice-skating and get my fingers sliced off by another skater. Like I said, I know it's irrational, and I'm sure it will be fine.

Worst (best?) case scenario: bionic fingers.

As long as they make that Six Million Dollar Man sound when you use them.

Those are some big feet you have there. Where does a man find shoes for feet that big? Let me guess... the shoe store?

never been ice skating? quite shocking. and yes, I've had the fear of the chopped off fingers scenario, but when you ice skate, you realize that is pretty much impossible. I believe a persons blade would hit your fingers, possible cutting it, but the person would trip and fall rather than slicing off your appendages. so don't be worried.

Swiss army hands is a small price to pay for having your fingers sliced off.

In college psych, the text said that you only remember your dreams if you “wake up” in the middle of a sleep cycle. You might not even realize you've woken up. But everyone dreams, even if they don't remember. They're just deep sleepers. :)

OH MY GOSH. I CAN NO LONGER GO ICE SKATING WITH YOU IN JANUARY. I CANNOT LIVE (OR PLAY PIANO) WITHOUT MY FINGERS.
