    Almost forgot, apparently I can get sick at some of the most inopportune times as it is midterms week and I woke up this morning with a 101.4 temp. And I haven't been sick for almost 10 years.

    Okay, it's not really an "ability", it's considered a "neurological disorder". But I see music. It's called synesthesia, and it's when stimulus in one sense produces a response in another, usually unconnected sense. Like seeing sounds as colors, lines, shapes etc. or tasting musical notes (C minor is bitter, etc.)

    Some forms of synesthesia, like tasting musical notes or smelling colors, are more rare. The most common form is having colored weekdays (ie. monday is red, tuesday is green) and months. Letters/numbers to color is also very common. I have that one as well.

    Oh, and in synesthetes there are two types- projectors and associators. Associators don't actually "see" the synesthetic response, they see it in their minds eye or have a very definite association. Projectors actually see their responses outside of their bodies, like on a screen in front of them. I'm a projector with my colored sounds and have associated colored letters.

    Synesthetes are born with synesthesia and have it their whole lives. Some people experience temporary synesthesia after taking LSD, and a few people develop synesthesia after an accident/brain damage. It's true synesthesia, though, if the responses are always consistent (they don't change day to day or even year to year) and they're involuntary (you can't turn them off).

    I totally have that too! It's way awesome!

    I can whistle without stopping, whilst keeping a tune. I can do it breathing in too.

    Also I'm fairly ambidextrous, and I can make the kessle run in less than 12 parsecs.

    I can arrive late for anything n matter how early I start getting ready.
    This is so me! No matter how hard I try, I'm always late!
    I can get complete strangers to tell me their life story on the bus without asking a single question.
    This is so NOT me! I suck at small talk!

    I can also do the eye thing.... I make one eye shake and I can move the other eye separately all around.

    I can get into weird positions, because I'm pretty flexible (not trying to be a perv, btw)

    I can make a pig sound that is realistic enough that real pigs talk back! I'm so proud of that one! LOL

    I can put on lip stick like Molly Ringwald did in The Breakfast Club.

    I grab stuff with my toes.

    I can do the splits and stay that way for a long time.

    I can flex my nostrils.

    I can sit on the floor on my knees at first, then I scoot my feet to the sides so that I'm sitting on my butt.... looks like a W

    I can drive poorly and cuss like a sailor if I need to : )
