Solidarity! I think guacamole looks like distilled animal carcass.
Spot on, my friend, spot on. We are few; though we sport superior taste buds.0 -

When I was 7 I had a really bad bike accident that tore almost all the skin off my face. I still have small pieces of gravel in my face and hands to this day.
I had a black belt in Taekwondo when I was 11. Don't remember any of it. Studied Kenpo from 22-24. Remember all of it.
When I was in 7th grade I was placed in remedial English classes because I wasn't doing the work. The teacher didn't think I belonged so she asked me to come in on a Saturday to take a reading comprehension test. It turned out I was reading on a 12th grade level and wasn't being challenged. I made honor roll every quarter after until I graduated from high school.
I taught myself how to ride a motorcycle when I was 21. I've been riding since 2002 but I didn't bother to get a license until 2009.
While I was in college, I tutored elementary school children who couldn't speak English. I was also a volunteer firefighter.0 -
My eyes shake back and forth involuntarily. No cure for it. I've had it all my life.
(google "nystagmus")
Thankfully, my case is not as bad as many others'. Some end up claiming disability or never being allowed to drive. I have trouble reading words far away; other than that, the only other bothersome thing about it for me is when people occasionally point it out. Doesn't happen so much as an adult, though.
Thanks for sharing about nystagmus; I've always wondered what this condition was called. (I first noticed it when watching Pruitt Taylor Vince in Mississippi Burning.)
I've never even heard of that guy or that movie. I will have to check that out!
When I was in college, my German prof asked us to put one unique thing about ourselves on an index card and he would read them to the class. So of course I used the eye thing. When he got to my card, he stopped and walked over to me, and looked down at me and flipped his glasses down and told me to take a look. He had it, too. MUCH worse than me, I might add. He had to hold his head in a certain position to be able to focus on something or to read. It was the first time I'd ever met anyone else with nystagmus.0 -
I can gleek several feet.0

I sunk in the ocean at age twelve and was rescued after about an hour and a half still a little frightened of the ocean0

I used to go line dancing 4/5 nights a week and keep an allotment and do everybodies gardens here ( 4 in total).
I played badminton during the day as well.
Passed my GCSE English and Maths at the age of 50 and Bookkkeeping A levels at 52
Learnt to swim at 50 as well.
Now 76 and can't do a B**** thing!!
No fun getting old.0 -
I can pick up almost anything with my feet,I am flexable enough to eat with my feet if I wanted to,which I dont but if I ever lose both my arms i will be ok.
I also used to be a phone psychic and a phone sex operator
I once stabbed a man in self defense
Can we talk more about the flexable bit...............................oh no.........wait.............hang on....................... just seen the last one..... never mind0 -
i've been married 3 times... once cuz i was young & under family pressure, once in pure stupidity, and once totally hopeful and completely crushed by a *kitten*. I have no faith in Love between man & woman, but nothing but faith in God being pure love.
I'm the only person from Lockport High School to attend college in Brewton Alabama...
I have spent most of 18 years working in restaurants and when I wasn't I was in some form or another cleaning poop. lol
There's a lot of other things that make me unique, but yet somehow I'm still pretty average....0 -

I was a phone sex operator too!!!
I knew there was a reason I liked you!
I would love to be a phone sex operator!!! I have a funny feeling I would be REALLY good at it.0 -
When I burp it sounds like a hiccup, unless I drink root beer. My cousin does the same thing.
I'm the best cat wrangler I know of. When I'm working with an aggressive cat I just go on instinct and no-one gets hurt and the cat stays as calm as possible (vet tech).
I'm the founder of the San Francisco Gothic Message Board.
I'm very flexible and can put my feet behind my head.
I gave up everything and everyone I knew and a job that I loved to move across country and care for my mother as she died of cancer. Her last wish was to die at home. I cannot afford to go back.
I've always thought of myself as a very tolerant and nice person, but certain people I work with are turning me into a b*tch.0 -
I can touch my nose with my tongue. so can my Grandma, who just turned 90
I have three stepbrothers, all of which have betrayed our family in one way or another.
I also have an autistic half-brother who is 10, is obsessed with the color red, racing cars, winning, and Super Mario Brothers, among other things. He's very high-functioning, but has severe aggressive behaviors, and I'm still sporting scars from his last major tantrum a few days ago. He has inspired me to study in the major of Speech Pathology, in which I hope to someday develop a strategy in dealing with him.
I have ADHD which has plagued me through my entire education. I struggle immensely in school.
I have a Siberian Muttsky named Panda Bear who has one brown and one blue eye. She lives with my dad.
I am dating a guy who I knew in high school and had PE class with, but never spoke to until Facebook at 3 AM brought us to chatting. He's the biggest geek stereotype I've ever met, and I adore him. We just had (didn't celebrate yet!) our first year anniversary on Friday.
In person, I'm really very very reserved. Until you come and talk to me. Once I get comfortable with you, I'm hard to shut up. lol.
I had a phase where I was verging on obsessed over hip hop. Not just the music or dance, but the culture overall. I love it still, but not quite as gung-ho for it. (In person, I totally don't seem the type for that. until you know me! haha)
I've written song lyrics and recorded myself singing my own music, as well as other music, in hopes that someday I'll be good enough to carry out my dreams of being a musician. As it is now, those dreams are on hiatus. lol.
I performed center stage in a Michael Jackson tribute show, in which me and about 240 other zombies danced the "Thriller" routine. Three times (at least). Some of those being flash mobs (impromptu dance shows that bystanders don't usually see coming). Might do another one this year at the county fair for the second anniversary of MJ's death.
I Love to Dance.
I broke my two big toes doing MJ's signature "toe stand". I was barefoot. I previously could stand on them (the VERY tips, not just balls of feet) without any shoes on.
I'm actually not a huge fan of MJ (though I am a fan). It was more out of fun than fandom that I did any of the above. lol.
In middle school I was asked by a close friend if I had ever had a uni-brow. (for the record, no I haven't. lol)
I am perpetually optimistic, and though prone to sitting in dramatic situations, overall things tend to roll off my back (unless they're serious issues. which aren't infrequent for me.). I think I can attribute that to hardiness built up overtime. heheh what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. :glasses:
I could go on forever on these boards. >< I think I need to stop. it's after 2 AM.
Goodnight!0 -
It won't let me edit my previous post.
I have a genetic bone disease which causes tumors on every joint of my body. I've had surgery 6 times, 9 tumors removed. My first surgery was when I was 3, my last was when I was 28. The largest tumor I've had removed was when I was 12, a tumor was removed from my right knee that was the size of a grapefruit (biopsy came back as beginning to turn malignant). Other tumors were removed because they were bending long bones, growing, or causing pain.
I do research for fun, my favorite subjects being mythology and fashion history.
I used to run a website on the history of corsets. For many years, if you googled corset history, my site would be the first to come up. I also ran a site on the history and mythology of the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet. I love lions.
When I was a teenager, me and my friends were going to start the first all girl hardcore punk band, me being the singer. Then I discovered I have stagefright.0 -
I collect old non-fiction and textbooks. My oldest one right now is a book about world religions from 1871, published by the Catholic church. My favorite is a physics textbook from 1920.0
-
I get to play games like,"Guess what I pulled out of a butt today?" at work. (I work in an ER)
My dad is actually my ex stepdad that kept assuming his role even after my mom divorced him while I was in the 7th grade. People get a really confused look when we're together with my dad's side since I'm the only white kid.
I have hung out with Quentin Tarantino in a hot tub on top the Omni Hotel overlooking downtown Austin. He was a gentleman and fun to talk with!
I totally get this being from a bi-racial family. Mama is white, Daddy is black, my older brother & sister are white and me and my two younger sisters are black and I have 4 Mexican/White cousins! Can you imagine what Thanksgiving looks like! Rainbow Coalition! LOVE IT!!!0 -
often times, when i'm in an argument with someone or discussing something that requires my full attention, my brain zones out and i mentally connect the corners of the room i'm in with diagonal lines.
left ceiling corner to right bottom corner
middle of the room on the wall behind me - diagonal to the opposite side wall top corners - in a V shape.
over and over.0 -

my brain interchanges the numbers 4 and 7 all the time. so sometimes i will see a 4 and say 7
or will write them incorrectly.
i have never used 4 or 7 in passwords or locker combos bc i'd surely *kitten* them up.0 -

HAHAHA!!! IM THINKING the flexable and phone sex part were pretty exciting...so of course you have to add the stabbing...other wise youd have to beat them off with a stick!!!!!!0 -
I only dream in black and white.
I'm scared of birds or anything that flies really and I hate feet.
I broke my arm at school, the bone was sticking out and they didn't call my mom because it was the end of the day. After being in a cast for a month my brother re-broke my arm fighting over the tv remote. He twisted it around until it broke again. My father pulled the female principal of my elementary school over her desk for not calling them. She was fired the same day.
I went to Ireland in 2006.
I've broke my arm four times.
I've played piano since I was in 5th grade.
I want to write young adult novels. I've been writing since I was in 4th grade.
I was ten points shy from making a perfect score on my SAT's.0 -

I have never been camping
I did not learn to drive untill I was 33 and at that point had never driven a car
Yay! someone else who didn't learn to drive- I'm 28 and still have never driven. Was it stressful when you finally did learn?0 -
I'm wearing the boots I jacked from Wal-Mart right now.
Come to think of it, I have plenty of gear that I got for $Free.99 with a 5-finger discount.
I'm quite the klepto...0 -
I've never learned to drive, hate beer, never been camping and can't burp (maybe done it 7 times in my whole life). So if you want to roadtrip across campgrounds, drinking beer and belching, I don't think I'm your girl.
When I was 13-17 I was obsessed with Monty Python's Flying Circus. I was a regular poster on alt.fan.monty-python and combed this new-fangled "internet" for information and books, etc.
Though I've never thought of myself as particularly sexual or kinky, my "collection" of sex toys and assorted paraphernalia now fills a large shopping bag in my bedroom. Oops.
i applied for (and got) a rotational diplomatic position yet I'm the only person in this job I know who's never been outside of North America. Oops again.
I wrote my grandmother's eulogy in 20 minutes when we found out her priest couldn't do it. It killed. Er... you know what I mean.
When i zone out, I tighten the muscles in my jaw and cheeks in time to someone's speech pattern or the beat of the music playing.0 -
I love to cook and have a serious cookbook addiction - I read them like novels.
I have very little depth perception.. never could see those images that were imbedded in those posters years ago.
I am not all the unique.0 -
Microwave ovens have always freaked me out.
I read non-fiction.
I like hockey.
All my lovers were from different ethnic backgrounds.
I was hit by a semi and the angels surrounded me and protected me... I still don't know why or what I am doing here.0 -
- I worked at this "high end" (gag) clothing store and I figured out how to get a 5 finger discount pretty easily... taught a lot of other associates how.... and got promoted...twice
-I competed on a national level in swimming when I was in high school
-I'm bilingual (english/polish)0 -
My parents are all Tri-Lingual. Spanish, Italian, French, Latin and English if you want to count those as well.
I didn't know how speak engrish till I was 7 and only knew spanish, when my parents wanted to talk about stuff they didn't want me to know they would speak Latin.0
