If You Had to Choose a Handicap for Yourself...

Which would you choose? Something that would change the way you live if you're healthy, and if you are handicapped already, would you trade it for something else?

As for me, I think I'd rather trade my voice for all my vision. I'd be mute, but I'd be able to see and do everything except speak. So if I had a choice, I'd choose mute. What about y'all?

If I must I guess I'll go with the deformed pinky toe.

I would feel naked in sandals - but otherwise I'll toughen it out. Walking down the street kids will stare at me. As I pass I will hear their mom lecture them on how it isn't nice to stare at freaks.

Re: If You Had to Choose a Handicap for Yourself...

I don't know if it's a handicap, but I think it'd be cool to have a hook for a hand. Kinda badass. It would be funny to mess around with people with it too. Of course I could wear like a fake hand or something but once in a while it'd be fun to bring out the ole hook.

I just don't want to think of the accident that would cause such a handicap.....

Re: If You Had to Choose a Handicap for Yourself...

I think I'd like to be deaf.
I have these rather introverted, reclusive tendencies anyway- I like to read, write, play with my computer, and basically live like a hermit to the extent that it's possible (it's not very possible, since I work full time and then come home to an apartment occupied by three other people besides myself).
I don't like any sort of noise. I have ADD. Noise bothers me. I hate television. I don't even like music; I used to, but at some point (can't really remember when) I began to find all music annoying.
I don't even have audio on my computer.
I don't like to talk much, either. I only like to write.

Anyway, being deaf would justify and excuse all these idiosyncrasies of mine, plus I'd probably qualify for unemployment, so I could quit working and stay home and have time to write a novel.

So, that's the handicap I'd pick.

I'd be mute. I'd learn to live with it, and everyone around me would be happier.
