NSV I guess?

I'm surprised my clavicles aren't constantly bruised from my poking at them. I've been able to see/feel them for MONTHS and I'm still in awe. "OMG, CLAVICLES!!"

I'm STILL creeped out that I can feel the bones in the back of my hands. Touching them makes me gag.

I get all grossed out when I itch my chest/collar bone area. There's no fat layer and Ick!
