    I can't pick just one, guys.

    I can read upside down just as well as I can right side up. I've been able to do that for as long as I've been able to read. Until my first grade teacher mentioned something, I thought everyone could do it.

    I have number form/spatial synaesthesia. I see numbers, time, days of the week, months, and years in very specific forms.

    I remember asking my mother "why are we here?" when I was 3-years-old, at which point I got the bible talk and was very disappointed because that was not what I meant.

    I have a memory of my brother falling out of a cart that I thought was from when I was 4 or 5 but I was informed it was from when I was about 2. I have several other memories from around the same time.

    I do long division and multiplication in my head when I get bored.

    I read magazines from back to front.

    I have episodes of sleep paralysis, and they've been accompanied by hallucinations four times. I remember each and every one of those in vivid detail, because they are the four most terrifying things I have ever experience in my life, and I was once in a car that got hit by a semi-truck, so that's saying something. These are the basis for numerous reports of demonic possession throughout history. My friend actually thought I was possessed when the first one occurred. I thought I was possessed when the first one occurred, at least until I hit the library (that was back when there were still actual, physical card catalogs).

    I'm (distantly) related to Hitler.

    I prefer confined spaces to wide-open ones.

    I sleep with a fan on next to me on my bed. It is very hard for me to sleep with out it.

    My boyfriend does the same thing, When I was pregnant it irked the hell out of me because I'm always cold. Now, both my kids have to sleep with a fan or they wake up crying.

    Seventeen years ago, I was hit by a car and sustained immediately life-threatening injuries and was in a coma for weeks. Head damage, brain trauma, multiple compound fractures, etc. Wasn't supposed to survive. Wasn't supposed to come out of the coma three weeks later with an intact, functional brain. Docs were amazed at my progress, but told me I would never walk again unassisted. Today, I walk 3 to 5 miles EVERY day...because I can. I have dozens of implanted metal bits holding me together, but you'd never tell by looking at me. Aside from a slight limp, it's all just something that happened long ago and I barely remember any of it anyway. But I can tell you stories about coming out of a coma... :)

    God is good!

    Truly inspirational. You are blessed. I would love to hear the stories as well.

    I would LOVE to hear stories about you coming out of a coma!

    9 years ago a customer came in to work saying he was opening a piercing shop and wanted a banner. I quoted him and he pleaded poverty, so I ended up doing a deal where he paid for half the banner and despite me only having a piereced ear in the past, I traded the other half of the banner for a Prince Albert.

    Oh no :| bet that hurt.

    I have a fear of driving on the freeway. :noway: Sometimes I'll do ok and then the panic sets in again and I have to stay off them. My bf laughs at me because I always take "the scenic route". I wish I could overcome it.
