    Oh, why I love the internet - I am nearly deaf (yes, I sign); but I do a good job reading lips and can fool most people. My students have to set the music volume in my T'ai Chi classes.

    I crack every crackable bone in my body. Not good, I know. But it feels SO good.

    Me too! Except for my neck.
  • I have a ring of freckles on my ring finger - that is right in the spot that the ring would normally sit... When i was a camp Councillor, the children always noticed it and thought it was a tattoo of a wedding ring.....
  • I read magazines from back to front...

    I'm hypermobile, and allergic to alcohol and pink which is really random, anything with pink colouring in breaks my skin into a painful burn/rash.

    I hate cheese, all forms of it. I have not had the cold/flu in over 25 years. and I have never taken antibiotics. Had no need to.

    Like someone else here, I have a ridiculously good long term memory. When I had just turned two years old, a plate fell on my head and I had to be brought to hospital. I still remember watching my mother phoning the ambulance, and later lying in the hospital bed while a nurse looked after me.

    I also learned how to do things very young. I could work the VCR by the time I was 2 and a half, and I learned to read faster than the other 5 year olds in my class.

    My short term memory is pretty good too, I'm a waitress and I can remember peoples' orders as they're dictated to me, once there aren't too many people.
  • I have two rare medical conditions

    When I a little girl we lived in Germany next to a gypsy camp. They had a small menagerie and the lion's roar would keep me up at night.

    Also, I make octopus jewelry. It's a compulsion.

    I also have virtually no sense of smell. I can smell petrol and friesas but nothing else - weird.

    I had my tonsils & and adenoids removed as a child because they were physically too big and caused airway obstruction issues.
    My Eldest daughter had to have hers removed for the same reason when she was 2.5, and my youngest daughter is due to have hers removed next month at 3 for the same reasons again!

    my eldest daughter's birth date is the reverse of mine 02/08/70 - 08/02/07
  • I have a birthmark on the inner side of my right calf, right below my knee, it's EXACTLY the same as my grandmother's.. who I was named after. When I was little I used to tell people my dad spilled coffee on me and it never came off (I actually did believe that until I was about 7)! Haha.

    I walked before I crawled, just flat out refused to crawl and cried when people would try to make me. My mom wound up putting me in a cardboard box for me to hold myself up in her office while she worked. I actually think this is pretty representative of my personality.

    I talked early, and memorized the poem "The Owl and the *****cat" when I was two (I still memorize ridiculous numbers of movies and songs).

    I was kidnapped and taken to a different country for 4 years. Oprah wanted my mother on her show. True story.

    I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue and I can't remember people's faces unless I've seen them ALOT. I can see someone and a week later not recognize them at all. People will walk up to me in public places and say hi and I just pretend to know who they are.
  • Ya, not the coolest diagnosis. But could be worse, right? **OOPS** Ignore this!

    Thanks.. I am.. I was kidnapped by my father and taken to Pakistan. He brought me back 4 years later after suffering a massive stroke. BTW, my mom told Oprah no. She didnt want it publicized. She had hired a company to try and kidnapp me back. Still shaking my head... can't believe my mom turned down OPRAH!!
  • I have a self-inflicted tattoo from an accident in art class at school!
  • I was just diagnosed with PCOS --

    So sorry to hear that! :frown:

    Could be worse, right? Explains a lot of my abnormalities though!

    i play music in my head like a juke box

    I can do that too.....I was a teenager before I realized that not everyone heard music in their head all the time. :) I can think of a song I like and hear it in my head....better than an ipod lol

    I probably would have if I were in her shoes too.....the kidnapping part was stressful enough without having to relive it in front of millions of people. I'm glad you got back to her alright too!

  • Thought it might be fun to see what is unique about each of you. It could be an odd, unique, or unusual fact about yourself.

    I'll start.....

    I'm from New York, but I do not like ANY Professional New York sports teams in Baseball, Football, Hockey, or Basketball, and I absolutely LOVE sports!!!

    I am a huge Yankee fan!
  • I collect Garbage Pail Kids cards with my husband and our 5 year old daughter! :laugh:
  • I'm 22 and I still watch the show Arthur....a little kid's show. But I'm obsessed with it.
    My husband and I watched Arthur on our honeymoon and we were in our 30's, so don't feel bad! :happy:
