    -I have hyperextension in my elbows. Because of this, when I was little, my elbows would come out of their sockets and get stuck, causing my mom to take me to the emergency room on a regular basis.
    -When I talk, read, listen, anything that has to do with words, I am always imagining that I am typing those words in my head and I move my toes as if I was typing with them. When I wear open-toed shoes, my husband catches me doing it and calls me out on it.
    -When I was younger, I used to sing in front of very large crowds. Now I nearly have a panic attack speaking in front of a group of 5 people.
    -I have a rare movement disorder called Meige Syndrome. It causes me to have very unsightly uncontrolled contractions in my facial muscles.
    -The end of my soft tacos have to be folded up like a burrito so the filling doesn't fall out. Even if I get it from Taco Bell and it has that handy little pocket in the wrapper, I rip the pocket open to make the wrapper flat, and fold/roll the taco.
    -My dad is a mechanic/body man. I always wanted to learn how to work on cars, but he would never teach me because I was a girl. Now he gets irritated when I call him to fix my car.
    -I remember outfits more than moments. I can tell you what you were wearing on a specific day 3 months ago, but I couldn't tell you what I did yesterday.
    -My husband and I decided on our 2nd date to get married. A few months later we were married in Vegas.

    This is a start. I'm sure I will think of more later.

    Oh, one last one: I have taught both of my cats to respond to their names. Most people don't believe me when I say it, but they do both come when I call them.

    1. I am highly neurotic. I stress about everything.
    2. I am addicted to erotica novels. I read 2-3 books/week. I like to pretend I'm more cultured, but really, I just love my literary porn. I hide my collection of smut upstairs in a basket and display my socially acceptable books in our bookcase in the office.
    3. I eat more than almost anyone I know. It's embarrassing. I am ravenous all the time.
    4. I lost all my boobs after breastfeeding/losing weight and got implants without anyone knowing. My best kept secret.

    I gave my master-bedroom to my kid to be his 'playroom'. (I sleep in the back bedroom).


    I did this too.....I figured, what do I do in my bedroom, change, sleep, even sex does not take up THAT much room....once my son went to a bed from a crib, he always had the biggest bedroom.....he needed that space much more for toys than I do...

    If someone says something, a lot of the time a song will snap into my head and I sing it on impulse. Today my friend told me to "Dream on"...you can guess what I started singing.

    As of two minutes ago I also discovered I can touch my nose with my tongue :laugh:

    My grandma let me watch Jaws at the age of 5, and my mum got quite upset with her until she realised I was the least bit affected by it. Since then, scary movies do not affect me.

    I'm fine with seeing gore such as decapitation, stabbings, gunshots, chainsaws, etc - no matter how much blood. However, if it involves someones fingers being cut off, or hair being pulled - I refuse to look.

    I have extremely good hearing in one ear. I actually can't sleep on the side that leaves it exposed, because the clarity of the sounds it hears keep me awake.

    As a kid my two favorite vegetables were eggplant and Brussels sprouts

    I first looked at porn at age 6

    I don't think there is such thing as "good looking feet". I don't care how pretty your nails are, how smooth your feet are, and how lovely the shape of your toes are...all feet are revolting and must not come near me.

    For my whole life, I planned to call my first daughter Ruby. However, when my mum got pregnant, I was so excited that I suggested the name to her, and now my 2 year old sister is called Ruby, and I think it suits her perfectly.

    I can bend my thumb back to touch my forearm. I thought everyone could do this and challenged a friend. Yeah.. apparently it means I'm double jointed or something. The guy ended up breaking his thumb. :indifferent:

    when people eat like a gross pig and make tons of mouth noise, I play a movie in my head about punching them in the face and having their head explode. Somedays it is all that keeps me sane.

    I've been call "high strung" more than once (I guess I might be a little hyper).

    I used to have a job guiding funeral processions on horseback at a cemetery in Chicago. They had deer, swans, peacocks, and a llama too. Very strange place, but I sold some of my first magazine articles writing about it.

    I used to work for the US Olympic Committee doing drug testing for Olympic athletes. I watched people pee. Glamorous, huh?
