I have a half sleeve tattoo, which is an homage to my home state of Oregon. How about you?

    I have a sixth sense for finding four (or more) leaf clovers. I've found literally hundreds of them in my lifetime ranging from 4-8 leaf clovers. That's at least mildly interesting, right?

    I was born in Belgium and lived there till I was 14, I'm fluent in a few languages but don't have an accent when I speak English. People think I'm from the Midwest, even though I've never lived there. My favorite thing to do when people refuse to speak English to me is respond to them in Flemish.

    A show on Animal Planet did a half hour episode about my dog rescue group. Even though it was presented in documentary-style we were actually re-enacting a past adoption so I had to "act". Master Thespian!!! lol

    I am very intuitive about some people. It's kinda creepy sometimes.

    I went into the mountains of Tijuana when I was 18, with a small church group, to spend five days working with Amor Ministries to build a house for a family of four. It was three rooms, and all told was smaller than any US apartment, and we hand-mixed the foundation using hoes and large flat pans on the ground. The walls were filled in with stucco, wrapped with chicken wire, and solidified with an outer layer of more stucco. (These houses could not be made using any power tools or advanced technology because of the location and the fact that there was no electricity hookup anywhere nearby.)

    It was 80 degrees during the day, 20 at night, and we slept in tents on the Amor campground. Most of us didn't shower the entire trip, because the only way to do so was with freezing buckets of water. The 'neighborhood' in which we built the house was essentially a slum, but it had a church full of smiling adorable children. Everyone was happy to see us there.

    It was awesome, even though I was already losing my faith at the time. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

    A few years back I went to China for a work trip. i had the weekend spare so The first touristy thing I did was visit the Great Wall. I climbed up several stairs and then as I was walking back down I fell over and sprained my ankle. As I had never had a sprained ankle or broken body before I kind of thought well this hurts i'll just go lie on my hotel bed and didn't seek medical advice, thinking the pain will go away. Anyway I caught my flights home 2 days later, and 17 hours of flying certainly did not help. By the time I got home my ankle had swollen up and looked like a ball. I took myself off to the hospital upon which the doctor told me it was the worst sprain she had ever seen! It then took 6 months of physiotherapy for it to get better. :noway:

    I am radioactive kinetic. Like pyro kinesis is in theory considered the ability to manipulate fire, I once encountered to be able to slightly manipulate radioactivity.

    In 10th grade my physics teacher set up a Geiger counter to measure some lightly radioactive materials and the atmohspheric radioactivity. While measuring just the atmosphere in intervals of 10 seconds, the average was about 4 clicks on the counter per interval. Out of a mood I strongly concentrated on the installation and suddenly in that interval the counter went up to 12. In none of the intervals it had even gotten close to 10, not to speak of above it. Surprised myself I let it go for 1 or 2 intervalls, seeing it being way below 10 again and then concentrated again on it. Again it jumped somwhere over 10. Thats been the only 2 intervals it counted that many clicks without any radioactive material close to it. As said, the overall average was around 4.

    I never tried it again and this first little succes didnt make me practiced it to become a super villain with mad powers. Lucky humanity ;)

    I can say the alphabet backwards, just as fast as forwards. I'm afraid that's as interesting as I get.

    I have a ghost friend in my house. His name is Thomas. He's buried in the basement. Real nice guy from the civil war. There were also several little girl ghosties too, but managed to call an angel to take them home. But Thomas lingers, says he's gotta watch over me and the house, imagine that? My very own protective ghost!

    Was told by a distant Italian relative that I am a twin for Frankie Avalon's dead grandma.... LOL! My dad's side is Italian and we have been told that Frankie is a distant distant relative so I guess its possible. Hahaha Also I share a birthday with George Washington, which I always thought was very cool as a kid. I even made my mom put "happy bday Tina and George" on my 10th birthday cake. I thought it was great-my friends, not so much! :laugh:
