Some things really make me mad!! Like today I went to buy a pair of heel shoes and they don’t stock my size…some people think that girls (ahem ladies) cannot be as tall as guys!! And the thing to back up their story is that majority (99.1%) ladies don’t have feet as big as mine and the girls who are as tall as I have small feet….
So BOTTOM LINE- I am tagged Miss Abnormal!!
I don’t complain about the name I am tagged with. (Hey! Everyone is weird in their own way!!) But I don’t like the reason I am tagged for…for having big feet!
There are so many abnormal things about me that it will take an eon to finish it but I’ll give you the major ones-
1) I am tall for my age since grade 6 and I am the tallest girl of my school-not to mention I am puppy fat. So people at clothes stores sometimes tend to say I am of ‘large frame’…but on the good side many of them encourage me to get into modeling and stuff because of my longitude which sort of compensates for my latitude and make me look a little slim!
2) I got an unusual name-the history of which I wrote about in my previous blog called ‘The person I am now’. Earlier in junior school at the register calling sessions, teacher used to ask whether I am a girl or a boy (because I sported short hair at that time), and now at High school they ask whether I am a non-Bengali. And I tell this history at least 100 times a month-average! I think I would do a recording of it and whenever I make a new acquaintance I will thrust that record in that person’s hand and tell to listen before that person proceeds any further!
3) I am left-handed. I write with my left hand directing my pen outwards than the usual way of having it inward. This never cease to fascinate the person beside whom I fortunately or unfortunately (I don’t really know!) happen to sit. And every teacher will suddenly notice this trait of mine after an eon of writing like this under his very nose and will exclaim in delight. Due to this I also have a problem sitting in the right side of our three sitter benches at school.
4) My totally topsy turvy way of speaking. I can never narrate a story in the chronological order-either I will tell the end first or will forget the details if I begin right and will have to go back to fill in the gaps.
5) My odd accent. Everyone says I got a non-Bengali accent but I don’t feel so.
6) My totally unmanageable hair!! It always chooses the wrong time to get out of shape. At home, the shape and style is perfect but when I go out…..sparrows think it’s their mobile home.
7) Well I told you about my big feet story! It’s so embarrassing….and I totally dread the day my shoes worn out and I have to go to buy a new pair….I rather wear sneakers all my life but you know- Indian traditional dresses with sneaker don’t mesh at all. I guess WITH GREAT HEIGHT COMES GREATER FEET!!
8) My incurable tendency to cross out a hundred small equations while doing math. My math teacher totally gets frustrated at the look of my copy with at least 5 small cross outs per page to boot…and my mood can be judged by the look of my copy-if I am in a foul mood, the page will be full of cross outs…If I am happy..It will contain one or occasionally none at all!
These are the major ones-which I guess are hopeless cases and can’t be mended…..so much for the tag!
I leave you here to do what you are supposed to do now (just go and click on the COMMENT button, dummy!) or I’ll curse you!!!
Ciao.
