Vintage LRC

I have sort of a habit. A quirk, if you will.

When sitting at my desk, driving my car, or doing virtually anything that requires me to sit in an upright position, I kick off my left shoe and tuck my foot under my right leg. It’s completely inadvertent.

This habit of mine has yielded many instances in which I have walked around my office with one shoe on and one shoe off, resulting in a comical scene in which I look like one of those carousel horses, albeit much less graceful.

UP. down. UP. down. UP. down.

Et cetera.

My coworkers have laughed at me for it (and oddly enough, I can’t believe my boss has never reprimanded me for this, as she probably deems it “unprofessional”), and it’s just kind of accepted that the one shoe on, one shoe off thing is something I am prone to.

I guess I started noticing this quirk when I started driving, nearly ten years ago. As far as I knew, that was when it began.

But then, a few weeks ago, looking through some old photographs at my parents’ house, I found this. Check this shiz out:

SOMETHING MISSING, YOUNG LRC?

WHY YES, I BELIEVE IT’S YOUR LEFT SHOE!

(Please ignore the drunken look in my eyes. I promise I normally didn’t like I’d had one too many Rum and Diets. My parents did not condone alcoholism in our household. )

(Not until age eight.)

That is crazified. Even at a young age, I was rockin’ the one shoe look.

Something that makes this photo even more perfect? There appears to be a Band-Aid on my left foot. Even at age 25, I am constantly injuring myself.

What’s a strange habit or quirk you have?
