CRSE1214

I still have two baby teeth.

I have one, lost the other one after my first pregnancy!

When I push on the tip of my nose the cartilage separates into 2 down the middle and it clicks as it splits.

I asked DH...

I dropped out of high school at the end of 10th grade... and 20 years later, I CLEP tested out of college English - at the 99th percentile.

I really do test well. And fast. I generally was always the first one out of the class, and aced the test besides. Drove my classmates crazy.

If you seen the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCarpio, I went to that island. It was a 1 1/2 hour boat ride to get there. Remote Island but amazing.

I have severe Astraphobia. I cower and gibber and hyperventilate my way through the very frequent thunderstorms we get around here. (I am so going to move to another state soon!)

I'm also not too fond of being around people. Not as scary as thunderstorms, but nearly. I think I'm also a little sketchy about bears. But we don't have grizzlies here, and the black bears are pretty mellow, lucky for me. We do have hornets though. Vicious little monsters, and I'm scared of them, too.

I am not even remotely afraid of snakes, not even poisonous ones. Spiders don't bother me, either. Heights...well, I'm clumsy, so I don't care to be up high if there's a chance I can fall.

I've written several novels and short stories, and a screenplay, and a ridiculous number of poems, none of which were even close to being published. Well, one short story almost sold. Well, two. But almost doesn't pay the bills.

That was clearly more than one random, strange fact about myself, but another fact about myself is I never follow directions well!

I have been randomly attacked by a zebra, porcupine, 2 german shepherds, a robin and a have been punched in the face by a nun.

This made me laugh!

I cannot eat with a big spoon. If my husband serves me (which does not happen often) and gives me a big spoon I look at him like he is nuts, and will get up and get a small one. I don't know I'm the same way with forks. I guess in my mind "small bites"? LOL I don't know.

I can't stand crooked pictures or decorations on walls. I am so anal about it, if I am at someone's house or at a business and I see a crooked something, I will usually go over and adjust it.

I also cannot sleep with a mirror in my bedroom. Since I was a kid, I've never had a mirror in my bedroom. I used to see things in them that frightened me... things that weren't really there...... or were they?! (Enter the Twilight Zone!) :embarassed:

When I lay down in bed i have a stage of things I think about and do. I count my way up the ladder, then I lay on my side while I think about the good things, then I lay on my stomach and think about the bad things, next I will cry or smile into my pillow for exactly five minutes, then I listen to music depending on my mood for exactly three songs if I'm sad to sad songs at the beginning one happy at the end the opposite if I'm in a bad mood, then I shut my music of and count till I fall asleep. I do that with of bunch of things too but not with everything just eating and sleeping.

When I was a teenager, I was a hockey FANATIC... my life goal was to marry a hockey player and have his babies
I cried every single day of Kindergarten when my mom dropped me off. Every. single. day.
I'm afraid of geese. Every time I take my kids to feed ducks, its like the geese can smell the fear on me and they stalk me. I'm afraid to turn my back on those sneaky *kitten* because I'm convinced they'll chase me and bite me.

I hate to validate your phobia, but geese are sort of vicious.

I get up at 6:36 during the week and 6:47 on the weekend - I can't set it on the 0, 15, 30 or 45. My kids do it now too - it makes my husband nuts.

I can't stand black ink - I only write in blue medium point.

This thread is making me feel normal.

Every once in awhile I wash my hands as soon as I get out of the shower without even realizing it...

CoryIda

Only one? I have lots.

I know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.

In addition to being able to roll/wiggle each eye independently of the other, I can also do this:

(because the original thread that was posted on didn't get nearly enough traffic)

Oh, and I have a freaky long Gene Simmons tongue and can lick my own nose or the tip of my pointy chin.

driaxx

I broke 7 bones by the time I was 9 XD

Clumsy child I was.. and still am..

amerr

I only put lotion on my hands when absolutely necessary, I can't stand the greasy disgusting feeling of having lotion on my hands. It I put lotion on somewhere else, like my legs or face, I always wash my hands after to get the lotion off my hands.

I am terrified of open closet door. I even close my daughter's closet doors so nothing gets her too. I guess it's from my brother hiding in my closet in a clown costume....I am also afraid of clowns, but not the "scary" ones. Just the normal ones.

My husband's ex wife bought their kids these costumes for Halloween the year before last.

Um, wow. You just hit about 3 of my nightmare buttons. I'm gonna go turn on all the lights in my house now.

MikeInAZ

I was a videographer's assistant in high school. I went to at least 1 wedding a week, sometimes 2. I had more chicken and rice pilaf than I can remember. If I never hear the Chicken Dance and "Celebrate" again it will be too soon!

raevynn

oh, and I wrote a Star Trek novel.


no, it was never published... but it was fun!

lrnldfrd

I'm obsessed with serial killers/serial murderers/homicides/ and the show 'the first 48' and anything related. I can handle gore that most grown men would faint at the site of. My fiance is slightly scared of me I think?

I'm the same way - I actually had an internship at the coroner's office and had to pick up dead bodies most of my friends think i'm quite morbid lol

I sing in the car, really really loudly and I also headbang in traffic. My commute to work is about 1 1/2 hours of heavy traffic one way (barely over 10mph sometimes). Singing and rockin' it out in the car keep me from going nuts though I get some weird looks sometimes.

if I eat really spicy peppers or food I get the hick ups immediately. It's so embarrassing.

dalgal26

Even though I am left handed, I cannot cut with scissors with the left hand.

carolynmittens

oh yeah, when i was in 7th grade a teacher with a wooden leg accidentally tripped me, i landed on my left knee and permanently lost all feeling in it.

SparkleKittie

My first day of first grade, when I got up to introduce myself, I farted on accident. I'm still haunted by it. hahaha

Foods that are round (burgers, donuts, bagels) I eat in concentric circles. I don't know why. I don't even really pay attention to doing it. But if something round is too small I won't do it. I'd say it's anything from a medium-sized cookie and up.

KellyBurton1

I can touch my chin with my tongue and my name suppose to be Shelly but the minister screwed up by calling me Kelly.

RonneyKay

Oh yea, one other thing...

when ever I am at someones house, or even my own, and I go into the bathroom, I have to make sure no one is behind the shower curtain. Even if no one else is in the house. We have a clear shower curtain now, cuz I need a clear shower curtain to take a shower. I have to be able to see out.

When I was a little kid (about maybe 6 or 7 ) I was afraid of anything related to the brain. The word, images, everything. I have no idea why. My theory is that it must've developed after watching some horror movie somewhere and got freaked out.

Glad I grew out of that.

Edithrenee

I have a problem with gas lol
