    I use my humor as a defense mechanism/initiation

    My psychologist told me the same thing.

    Jay Leno paid me a compliment. :blushing: And Gary Senise (Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump) once had his umbrella guy walk me to a van when I was loading up a catering van.


    I love bananas but can NOT stand anything banana flavored. :sick:

    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 get good stories like this too. I know several nurses, paramedics and EMTs. I could listen to stories ALL day and night!!

    Very few people share this sentiment with me (i.e., not "unique" but close enough):

    I detest avocado. If I ate green colored school paste instead, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    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 actually knew what that was. Lol. I researched it a ton after seeing Pruitt Taylor Vince in "Heavy"

    On that note, I have a strange need to know things. I compulsively google things I see or are mentioned and can read about them for hours. Anything from medical conditions to supernovas. I'm also addicted to the Science Channel and love to watch "How it's made" and anything dealing with stars and the universe. :tongue:

    Spot on, my friend, spot on. We are few; though we sport superior taste buds.

    Yeah. Not a fan. I really did try to like it though. It's the consistency that gets me. *shudder*

    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.

    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.

    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....
