Executive function.

I was at a wedding tonight and everyone on the dance floor seemed to know what to do with their hands while dancing. I just can't seem to figure it out.

I'd settle for a non-shy bladder (a social bladder? An extroverted bladder?)

A properly functioning neocortex.

A functional pancreas. Worked perfectly fine for 27 years, then my body just decided it was evil. Super neat.

Smooth joints, by the time I was 14 I already had clicky joints and now if I stand or sit in the wrong way I need to click them back in

My ankles, wrists, fingers and hips pop so loud the secret police would hear it from down the road and bust me in the attic

The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

Make an OK symbol with your middle finger

Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)

Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)

Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is

If it works, it'll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it's still muffled, it's likely stiff.

I definitely misread this and thought you said to put my index on my palm, so I was doing it that way, resting my thumb in my index finger. Definitely not as good as the actual method. Absolutely needs practice, though. Thanks for the help.

Being an actual person where everything I do isn't too fancy, wannabe grown, picky, spoiled, or out of my league. I want to wear fun clothes and makeup without everyone gawking at it for trying too hard to look like a real person, or everyone angry that it has nice things it doesn't deserve. And probably the ability to enjoy music since I lost that after every single genre I enjoyed was either below society or trying too hard to be More Than.
