Oh, The Narcissism

Here's a fun fact about me. I put my contact lenses into my eyes with my left hand.
"Oh my goodness, Ana!" you say,"I had no idea that you were left handed. I am shocked and awed."
Well, actually, I'm not left handed. About a week after I got my first pair of contact lenses, which happened to be about 4 days after Christmas, I was roller blading outside when I fell and broke my arm. My right arm. After I got my cast on and returned home, the issue of contact lenses arose. Because of my cast, I couldn't get my right hand anywhere near my face. Actually, for the first few days I would try to eat with my right hand out of habit and my family would laugh and laugh because... well, I looked stupid. Anyway, for six weeks I used my left hand exclusively for contact lens-related issues. And ever since then I've put my contact lenses into my eyes with my left hand. And you're never going to get the two minutes of your life that you spent reading this post back.

That's funny, my dad did a similar thing. In his twenties he fell doing construction and broke his left arm. While healing he switched to right handed and never went back.

That is actually really interesting.
