My girlfriend has EDS. It is such a strange disease.

On the one hand, it gives you smooth stretchy skin that is resistant to wrinkles, long features that can be very beautiful, and enhanced flexibility that can be fun in the bedroom.

On the other hand, just laying down can cause her legs to fall out of socket, her back can make noises that sound like stepping on peanuts, and her fingers can get stuck in a Vulcan salute.

Handicapped parking is dope though.

Fuck, I thought I had a pretty typical body, but I had no idea it was abnormal to have skin.

I guess it's time to go to the doc again for a flesh-ectomy.
