I set the book down on the table, reach back, and plant my hand on the seat of the chair behind me.
I lean to one side, than the other, and my back spits out a familiar series of pops. I dont even have to grab onto my fingers to pop them, I just stretch my fingers out and squeeze the muscles in them like Ive got some kind of claws. Snap, crack, snap. Then my wrists, my elbows, my toes, my knees. I have to hang onto my feet as I pull them towards my navel to get my hips to pop, then pull my shoulders towards each other with my arms crossed across my chest. The shoulders and wrists always pop about twenty times each, and its a duller, deeper sort of thwacking noise, rather than the higher-pitched crack, snap of my extremities.
I swear, every moving joint in my body pops.
I roll my fingers, one by one, to the side a bit, and each one emits a slightly louder pop than before, but its a little louder still when I press my fists, knuckles down, into the table. Pop, thump. Im still impressed that Ive found three ways to pop each finger, sequentially.
Except for my neck. For some reason, this really doesnt to much on the way of popping.
I cross my feet below the chair and squeeze my thighs together, and somehow this causes the lowest joints of my spine to pop.
Id be such a bad fucking ninja because of this. Id be trying to sneak about, and however stealthy my footsteps may be, something would pop and give me away.
Hey, at least I can only pop synovial. Itd be kinda unnerving if I could pop the fibrous joints; bone-on-bone connections that many people dont even know exist. Imagine me putting both hands on either side of my head and snap, crack, popping my skull. I bet thatd give me quite a headache. And, no, I dont think thats possible.
