    How about a few:
    I love working in the yard, but I'm horrible with flowers.
    I eat one item at a time on my plate. I can't sample this then this and go back to the first one. One...item...at...a...time.
    I can still do an awesome cartwheel.
    I love to wrestle.
    I cannot drink from a glass when dining out. I HAVE to have a straw.

    I poop ice cream and can't make that pleasant armpit fart action happen for the life of me.

    I'm terrified to look in a mirror in the dark. I'm afraid I'll see something behind me, except it won't be there when I turn around. To the point I run past the mirror in the hall if I have to go to the bathroom at night.

    Most of this stuff isn't really strange...

    Better said, the "strangest" thing about me is that I wash my hands constantly and keep track of everything relative to what it touched and if it's clean. Got a thing with germs... but I think it's pretty normal for someone who just takes cleanliness seriously... no I don't think I have OCD and if I do I don't care it's not that novel lol

    EDIT: I stand corrected, fear of raisins FTW! lol

    Well you win for being strange... lol I'm seriously just messing with you, but I'm totally interested in an explaination. They just freak you out or like you'd run from them?

    I am terrified of someone shooting a rubber band at me. If someone has one and pulls it back like they are going to shoot it in my direction, I start crying. It just really scares me.

    I wash my hands obsessively. I will wash my hands and then wash them again because the first soap didn't feel "clean" enough. Sometimes, this goes on a few times.

    I can't look into a mirror when the room is dark. I will close my eyes, look down, or have the mirror to my back until I can get a light on.

    I'm the same. The mirror is terrifying at night!!! Thanks to all my sleepovers as a kid where we watched scary movies and played "Bloody Mary"... I would actually cry. Thanks, friends! LOL

    OMG, you are my TWIN! All of these, yes!! All of these are me. I won't cry over the rubberband but it's one of the scariest things. I don't want a rubber band snapping on me. I hate balloons popping too. It's not only scary, but I feel sad for the balloon.

    I don't even have an explanation myself! It's just an irrational fear haha. I don't think I'd go so far as to run from them, it's just.. they genuinely scare me! Especially currants and sultanas, they always seem to be more squidgy? Shudder.. pahaha wow this is embarrassing!

    ROFL no sweat!

    After reading some more I kinda do the mirror thing too, but more so it's looking down the hall at an open doorway. I always check down the hall after I walk through it to make sure I don't see something. Old habit from when I was younger to put my imagination at rest and get to bed.

    I am the ONLY left handed person in my entire, large, Catholic family.

    I only see out of my right eye when both eyes are open, but can see out of my left when I close my right eye. (therefore, no depth perception)

    I sense and predict earthquakes with alarming accuracy.

    I have synesthesia: I hear music and think colors, tastes and textures. Middle C is forest green and the colors go up the scale as follows: red, reddish/orange, orange, yellow white, with varying shades between all of those. The colors go down the scale as follows: blue, purple, brown, maroon, black, with varying shades between. My favorite music occurs within the purple to yellow scale range. Most of the twangy, country music out there comes in as greenish, muddy brownish baby puke color, that tastes like metal. Most of the music done in 3/4 time signature (waltzing) comes in as rose pink, soft velvet, and tastes like bubble gum or cotton candy. I choose my musical likes and dislikes based on the colors I get from them.

    That happened temporarily to alot of my friends back in the 1960's/70's particularly when they went to rock concerts and ingested some sort of.........:laugh:

    Naughty boy!

    Coulrophobia---Phobia of clowns. I will break down in tears, panic attacks...I've left a whole cart of paid groceries and nearly fallen out of a 2story building trying to get away from clowns.

    Don't think of the Candyman when you go to the bathroom tonight.

    I used to do 'fortune telling' and have predicted deaths, accidents and illnesses, among other unsettling things. I no longer do this.

    My grandma used to read cards and predicted the death of my mother's boyfriend back when she was about 16. It happened within a month. Grandma quit reading cards after that.

    I don't think this is strange but almost everyone who I tell this to thinks it is (stereotyping, much?).

    I hate hiphop and rap and I love country music.

    Also I have an unhealthy fear of butterflies.

    I am a medium.

    I had a very good friend who was a psychic. Had some very interesting experiences with her. :)

    I can understand why you would associate music with color. Both are just energy frequencies, in different form, but they correlate with one another.

    I was in the '89 Loma Prieta earthquake (lived in San Francisco)

    I was in the '94 Northridge earthquake (lived 5 miles from Northridge)

    I've been in 8 car accidents; was always a passenger not the driver

    I've broken almost every bone in my body

    I've "died" twice. 1st time at age 18 months from viral spinal menegitis, 2nd time from untreated mastoiditis

    I think I'm lucky to be alive. :bigsmile: :wink:

    In my dreams I am able to taste, smell and feel things.

    I also can sometimes alter the course of my dreams by willing something to happen.

    I am right handed but shoot pistols and shotguns left handed, golf left handed, play hockey left handed and shoot pool left handed. All other sports, I'm right handed.

    Oh, and I tried to learn how to play the guitar, but was left handed with that too and it wasn't strung for a left handed person.
