    2. I hate loud noises. I'm afraid of baloons and fireworks.

    :laugh: :laugh: I am scared of balloons too!!! my kids are not allowed to have them in the house and if by chance they get ahold of a balloon they are not allowed to make that squeaky noise when you rub it... and when they go to bed i cut the tip of the balloon adn let all the air out so it is no longer in my house anymore :laugh:

    7. I have a dead kitten in my freezer. He died last April and I haven't gotten around to cremating him. He was a bottle fed rescue that just failed to thrive after 10 days... and when I get him cremated, I plan to stuff his ashes in a rubber balloon and sew it inside a stuffed kitty that looks like him. Now... THAT is pretty weird.

    :noway:

    That's quite possibly the weirdest fact I can post... It costs $185 to cremate him, which is why it hasn't been done yet. We were originally going to bury him in the backyard, but we got orders to Germany and we'll be leaving this summer...

    Sounds sort of morbid and maybe amusing... but I bottle fed him every 3 hours for nearly ten days. My world revolved around this little guy, I rearranged my schedule for him. Forgive me if I'm not ready to say goodbye yet...

    1. I will not eat anything on a bone. It just makes me sick.

    2. I got pulled over one night during my first year of college. The officer started questioning me about what I was doing out so late, where I was going, where I came from, if I knew anything he should know. He made me get out of the car, yelled at me and made me cry and insisted on searching my car. I let him. Another officer showed up and explained that a cop had been following me earlier when I was riding around with a guy I was talking to at the time. I had dropped him off at his friend's house right before I got pulled over. Turns out the guy was wanted for stealing a car and beating the crap out of some guy that very evening. Gee, thanks, guy-I-never-talked-to-again!

    3. Even if I'm running late in the morning, I take the time to make sure all the stuff in my bathroom (shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, perfume, toothpaste, etc.) is sitting so that the label is facing out and taller items are either behind shorter ones or to the left in descending order.

    4. I hate bees. I was stung plenty of times when I was younger, but for some reason I'm convinced I'm allergic now and if I get stung, I'll die. I avoid bees at all costs.

    5. I minored in Criminal Justice in college and am borderline obsessed with sexual deviance and serial killers. I want to know what makes them do the things they do.

    6. Getting a needle shoved through my face, ears or tongue doesn't bother me. Having my blood taken, does. I have my tongue (second time), tragus and ears pierced twice. I've had a monroe (twice) and a labret piercing. I want this next: http://www.bmezine.com/pierce/11-surface/A81112/high/ok3n-cleavage-sufrace.jpg

    7. I hate uneven numbers. For example, if I'm drinking and I get to 5 drinks... I can't stop there, I HAVE to have a 6th or it doesn't feel right. Or, if I'm having something like peanuts... I count out an even number to have. Or, if I have change in my purse... I make sure it's an even number. No kidding; I'll leave a penny behind. And, I like things to be divided into equal sections – if there are two bottles of perfume sitting on one side of my counter, there better be two of something else sitting on the other side to balance it out.

    AND, in reference to that last weird thing about me... here's my number 8 :laugh: . - When I worked at Wal-Mart, there was a bulletin board up in the back hallway announcing job openings and events and whatever else they deemed important. There were ALWAYS typos on them. When no one was around, I'd cross out the typo and re-write it correctly. I also do this in books.

    I think this makes me a tad bit OCD. :flowerforyou:

    5. I don't have or want cable TV.
    6. I don't have or want a microwave.

    Those two items were a "would you rather" topic a few months ago,

    Since moving 6 months ago, I haven't gotten a microwave and have grown to love it. I eat much healthier now b/c I am forced to cook everything.

    Now... about me :)
    1. I can speak Arabic almost fluently.
    2. I love ferrets but can't stand the way they smell so I'll never get one.
    3. I always nibble all of the skin of an apple or pear before I eat the inside of it.
    4. I LOVE horror movies but can't watch them because I have horrible nightmares if I do.
    5. I loved brussel sprouts as a kid, but hate them now.
    6. I am 26 and have a 2 year old sister.
    7. I am addicted to cheese but can't stand the smell or taste of American cheese.

    I cannot stand to see a typo in a published book or anything that is printed for mass viewing. I fixate on it when I find one... drives me NUTS!!!

    Here's more.

    I always counts stair steps.

    When I'm faxing something at work, I try to avoid counting how many pages there are as they come through. I'll stand at the fax machine and start counting to myself really fast to get my mind off of the sheets of paper as they come through.

    I don't let my feet stick out over the bed because "it" might get them. I also pull my feet onto the bed really fast when I go to bed at night for the same reason. "It" might get them. :laugh: :laugh:

    I'm scared of bees because I used to get stung all the time when I was a kid.

    I don't like to walk around barefoot especially outside in the summer time because I used to step on bees all the time and get stung when I was a kid.

    I'm messed up! :frown:

    ladyofivy. Tks for staring fun thread.
    Jakeh. You love chocolate and are afraid of rabbits. What about chocolate bunnies??
    MisoSoup79. I'm sorry about your kitten. Take good care. Perhaps, sharing that with us would help you to make the final arrangements.

    **************************

    Ok, here we go.

    1. I'm right handed. Clap left handed. Just did it once. Thought it was fun. Can't go back to clapping right handed.
    2. Can't wear red or have red in my bedroom.
    3. Very meticulous in the order I eat. Have to have to always eat best for last. I get very very upset if someone interrupts me and say I should eat the best first or it'll get cold and harass me nonstop during my entire meal and make fun of the way I eat. I feel like saying to them, "Mind your own %^&*# business!!"
    4. I shiver uncontrollably everytime I see ants especially a lot of them on a sidewalk.
    5. I'm terrified of clowns. Everything about them is weird, strange and terribly scary.
    6. I am extremely petrified of wax museums. Wax figures scared the **** out of me.
    7. A clown wearing all red in the form of a wax figure holding fake ants I think would give me a heartattack, a stroke and a panic attack all at the same time for sure!!

    Ok, I take it back. This thread is not fun!! It's scaring the **** out of myself!! :noway: :noway: :laugh: :laugh: ( just joking ladyofivy!! Still fun. Scary but fun!!)

    1. I eat sandwiches from the outside in- around the edges once before eating it normally top to bottom
    2. I dreamed of being a mother since I was like 8/9... is that actually weird?
    3. I used to be paranoid to the point that I'd sub-conciously think I was being filmed/recorded almost anywhere... even in my own house... (I've since gotten over that fear and it wasn't even based on anything)
    4. I'm afraid that the alarms will go off when I exit stores, even though I haven't stolen anything... this is actually based on an experience
    5. I have a habit of smiling when I'm verbally fighting/having a shouting match with someone... I don't know why
    6. the top of my pinky toes are kinda turned sideways, if that makes sense

    I can't think of a last one right now

    Hmmm lots of fears on here! :smile: The fact that so many people have irrational fears makes me wonder how "weird" it is to have an irrational fear! I think I may need to "go again" because I've thought of so many weird things about myself since reading this....

    1. I share the same birthday as Seth Green and Gary Coleman. (Is that weird? I dunno, I guess we all share birthdays with celebrities, it just seems weird to me.)

    2. I used to be able to push my thumbs back to touch the tops of my wrists, but I guess I've lost that "talent" because I stopped doing it. LOL :laugh:

    3. I've taught both my kids (four and two) the ABC's backwards as well as forwards, and they know most of their 50 states.

    4. I have a fear of MayFlies. When we go out at night and they are swarming near a lamp post, it freaks me out, and I MUST cover my mouth and nose with my shirt or a cloth or at least my hand, because I'm so afraid that they will go into my mouth or nose. We had a convertible once, and it was warm enough that the top was down when we got gas and I begged my husband not to get gas with the top down, but being the jerk that he was feeling like being that night, he acted like I was just being stupid and forced me to sit there while he got gas. I nearly got out and walked home, but I was so petrified that the mayflies would get me, that I couldn't move.

    5. As a kid, I thought it was funny to catch flies and tear their wings off and call them a "walk". I also used to swat them with the fly swatter and then pour salt on them to "bring them back to life". I have NO CLUE who told me how to do this... it's pretty cruel. I never caught one and tied a hair around it and tore it's legs off though, so that I could fly it around. (Someone told me about this when I relayed the rest to him... that's just weird.)

    6. I am in love with the smell of scotch tape. It smells like Christmas, and I could smell it all day.

    7. I am also fanatical about the smell of Gain laundry detergent. I would make the entire world smell like Gain if I could. I ought to have stock.

    8. Eye crossing... I can cross my eyes, cross only one eye and whirl the other around in a circle (either eye, I can do both!), and do what I call "figure eights" with my eyes, meaning that I cross one, circle the other once, cross that one and circle the other one.

    9. I have amaxing tongue dexterity. (Yes, before you ask, my husband adores me. :tongue: ) I can do all kinds of tongue tricks, too weird to be able to describe all of them, but for example I can fold it in half either way, make it into a talking smiley face, make it do "the wave", flip my tongue over both ways and FAST, and I can put my tongue into the back of my throat, past my uvula, down into my throat or up into the back of my nose (I know, that's gross.)

    10. I am generally much less than six degrees of separation from any celebrity, because as a kid, I met Gordon from Sesame street, and played "One of these things doesn't belong", with him. Since he works with Elmo, who has met just about every celebrity in America :laugh: I'm generally only 3 degrees from most celebrities, four at the most.

    11. I have been a "writer" since I can remember. My elementary school teachers always said that they knew I would be a published author one day, and always said that they couldn't wait to read my stories. I begged for a typewriter for Christmas every year from age 11-13, and spent much of those years alone in my room, writing. I've been published, but most of it is ghostwriting, however I have gotten a few paying and credited gigs here and there, though nothing fancy.

    12. I've never broken a bone (yet!!), however I have had four surgeries and stitches in my mouth once.

    13. I have a dream to become a roller derby girl.

    14. I have created a "bucket list" online.

    15. I saved my friend's life once.

    16. I have helped stay at home moms become friends hundreds of times over, and the effects of my work are still going on today.

    17. I have two phobias, one is the fear of disease and dying (and of going to get diagnosed, which goes along with that phobia) and the other is claustorphobia. I remember the exact moment that these phobias started. The clausterphobia I'm not really sure about if it still bothers me, but it freaked me out enough not to want to find out by being in a tight space again.

    18. I once stepped on a piece of a jellyfish, and it made my pinky toe numb for a year or so.

    19. I can wiggle both ears individually or together and both eyebrows individually or together.

    20. This summer I will have been married for one third of my life, and I'm only thirty.

    21. I have a lot of floaters in my vision, but, because of aforementioned disease phobia, can't bring myself to go to an eye doctor.

    22. My husband and I met in high school by writing on a desk to one another, and I actually envisioned meeting my husband this way when I was in middle school.

    23. When I was young, there was a house that had a garage with a smiley face painted on it, near where my cousin lived (only a couple of blocks away from where we lived.) I told my brother that one day I would buy that house and I'd paint a hole in the forehead of the smiley face, and make it look like it got shot in the head and write "Have a nice day" on it. Years later I bought a house that was all yellow siding, and years after we bought the house, my cousin told me, "You know, I remember when I was a kid, your house used to have a smiley face painted on the garage, before they put siding on it."

    24. I experience Deja Vu to the nth degree. Once a day would be a slow day for me. I fear that it means that I have a disease or brain tumor, but I recently read that people who have depression/anxiety have deja vu more than the rest of the world.

    25. I'm working on an invention that mostly markets to moms of kids who are potty training. I hope to have some prototypes out in the next few weeks.

    26. I've been "attempted" to be abducted by child molestors twice in my life, both by people who I didnt' know. Once when I was four, once when I was 11. The first time the man asked me from his red truck if I wanted some candy, the second time it was a man on our street who asked me if I would come into his house and look at the fish tank that he had for sale (who turned out to be a convicted child molestor.)

    27. I've had chicken pox twice and my husband had it three times. We've had our children both vaccinated for chicken pox... (I realize that this is highly controversial, and I have nothing against those who choose not to vax, but for us it was a no-brainer.)

    28. I play pool left handed and skateboard "goofy-footed" or "left footed", although I am primarily right-sided for everything else.

    29. I used to be really great at playing chess, and in fourth grade I was second place chessmaster in my class, but I only remember the basics of how to play now.

    30. I hate the sound of corderoy or of fabrics rubbing together; it hurts my teeth.

    31. I also have a "fear" (I wouldn't call it a phobia, I just really REALLY hate it) of wood touching my teeth, like from a popsicle.

    32. I am notoriously good at remembering commercials... not just the jingles but the whole commercials. I used to drive my parents crazy by saying all the commercials along with them. One of my favorites was Sally Struthers for ICS where she said, "Do you want to make more money? Sure, we all do!" (I have since forgotten the middle bit, but then it says, "Choose from any one of these courses! high school, TV VCR repair, computer programming, child day care, book keeping, legal assistant, veteranary asssitant..." I think there were a few more, but then it said, "You can major in business management or in accounting!" I've forgotten a lot of it now, but remember that this was from when I was six or so. :laugh:

    33. I'm afraid of the dark.

    34. As a kid, I had an "extra" phobia of being abducted. Occasionally I'd wake up flipped around so that my head was at the foot of my bed, and I was sure that I was in an alien spaceship, and I was too terrified to move.

    And getting slightly morbid....

    35. I have two brothers, but am recently an only child. :cry:

    36. My parents and I have eerie similarities sometimes... for example my due date months were October, February and November, and so were hers. We both had three children and one died.as a baby. My dad's brother, Donnie, was walking on a highway and got struck by a vehicle and killed, and it was immediately declared a suicide, and later they found out that it was the recklessness of the driver, and the EXACT same thing happened to my brother, Donnie, just a few months ago. (walking on the highway, struck by a vehicle, immediately ruled a suicide and then they found that it was the recklessness of the driver at fault.) Although neither of my children are named Donnie, I'm now afraid that one of them will be killed by a car as an adult. :cry:

    Is anyone still reading? Seriously, this went WAYY too long... which is #37: I have a tendency to go overboard whenever I write anything.

    I can move my baby toes around without moving the rest of my toes whatsoever.

    Although this is actually pretty rare, I am an adult sleepwalker/talker and never really remember anything. A lot of times I wake up somewhere in a random situation, completely terrified. My husband thinks I look/act like I am possessed or something and he thinks I speak different languages, it is kind of nuts really, lol.

    I share the same birthday as my brother, although we are two years apart. Garfield’s birthday is the same as ours. It’s cool because it’s like that comic strip is just for us : )

    My eyes are a mix of green, grey, blue and yellow eyes. My husband says that it’s like I have a yellow sunflower in the middle of my eyes.

    I am obsessed with roses in any way shape or form. It’s my middle name and my late grandmother’s middle name.

    I am the female George Costanza, lol. I can talk my way into or get myself out of almost anything. If there is a deal/way into/out of something I can find it or figure it out in a matter of minutes.

    I have an insane memory for numbers. I can remember any sequence of numbers you throw at me, and any phone number I have ever been told. I am like a walking phone book. I even remember my friends from kindergarden's numbers.
  • Some interesting posts here lol

    Ok will give this a whirl: in no specific order of weirdness lol

    1 - I like to slide my mac and cheese noodles onto the prongs of the fork then eat it
    2 - I will only clean my apartment on a Thursday (been doing this years and have no idea why LOL)
    3 - I always take pictures of construction sites, they fasinate me for some reason
    4 - All my Cd's are in alphabetical order and I check them at least once a month to make sure they still are
    5- I constantly complain I need new tops but when I get to the store and find something I decide I don't need it lol
    6- I freeze my Cadbury cream eggs before eating them
    7- If I have a burger and fries and I always put the fries on the burger
  • Let's see: I am sure I can get 7 (I am weird) but I wonder what they will be.
    1. when I was 15 I had to get a prostitute licence in Mexico because I was wearing red cowboy boots. I had a choice, licence or Juarez jail.
    2. I dance on my treadmill. I have a treadmill burn from falling off.
    3. One of the YMCA instructors makes fun of me for smiling so much during class.
    4. I broke my foot walking, my finger sleeping and dislocated my shoulder driving. In all three cases there was no "incident" to cause the problem. It just happened.
    5. When I am happy, I can't help myself. I jump up and down and clap like a kid. I am 37.
    6. I quit smoking after 23 years. I quit because my 40 friend was picking it up and I was too co-dependent to put up with that crap.
    7. I won a joint rolling contest at 8 years old at a Hippie Thanksgiving Festival where 3 dog night was playing. 5 people could smoke off of it at the same time. I don't smoke marijuana.
