What is a strange fact about you?

Really odd, but I cannot stand water dripping off the shampo bottle into the shampoo I pour in my hand. I have to "dry off" the bottle before I pour it out. Totally stupid and I have NO idea why I do it.

Just posted a quick one that came to mind in a rush, but here are a few more:

-I have and enjoy having something called ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response, here's an article http://www.vice.com/read/asmr-the-good-feeling-no-one-can-explain).
Basically what it does is makes my head/neck/back and sometimes arms have these really pleasant tingles. It's brought on by "triggers" that vary greatly, but my personal favorites are soft speaking/whispering, light tapping/scratching (you will almost always see me tapping something), personal attention, i.e. when someone is close and explaining something like a teacher would, or getting a haircut, anything that causes people to be close, when someone lightly plays with my hair, crinkling sounds (another thing I'm always doing when I have a crinkly bag!). There are quite a few other triggers as well. There are all sorts of YouTube videos for it as well

-I have a really irrational fear of bees. Wasps/other stinging insects I can deal with okay, but bees really get me. If there is a bee in the car, you better pull over because I will most definitely have a panic attack until it's out. Though it's unlikely it would be there, because no matter if it's dead winter, I always check the car for bees.

-I've been diagnosed with OCD. It's nothing weird but most people don't have it, I guess. So there's that.

-I can't just have one hand wet. If one hand gets wet somehow, I have to wet the other one. I also can't stand it when the back of my hand or palm is wet, but in between my fingers is dry. I have to wet it so that they're soaked so I can dry them.

-I, too, am a righty that shoots with her left hand. I also use my left hand for a lot of things most right handed people don't like opening doors, playing with my phone, wiping (TMI! lol) etc.

-Back in 2006, my grandpa visited me in the form of a happy little green orb a few days after he died. My grandmother and mom also saw him. I haven't seen him since

I can't stick the tip of my tongue out because my frenulum attaches on the entire length...so technically i'm "tongue tied" but I never developed a lisp! A speech therapist was even curious how I never developed one....i speak normally...

My fiance has a tongue tie, and though he did go to years of speech therapy, he never had a lisp. He just mispronounced words for some reason.

My chronic knee condition causes me to be able to move my kneecaps around. I think it's awesome, but it freaks people out :bigsmile:

^ This would make me throw up. Seriously. I can't stand for anyone to touch or even look at my knees - and I hate anything to do with knees. My husband had surgery on one of his knees and I couldn't look at it or think about it or I would gag.

ETA: Just typing this post about knees gave me chills and I almost threw up in my mouth a little.

I am scared I might see a ghost. I wont walk around my house alone at night because I'm scared I will see one, seriously if I wake up in the middle of the night I make my husband get up with me.. Weird huh? I also read tarot ( not something most people would think when they see me)

I read Tarot as well! I also have a sixth sense, although I don't see things, I physically feel them. For example, when someone close to me is nervous, my teeth start chattering.

I will only go bare foot in the sand or in my own shower/bath. Otherwise, constant slippers, socks, both - whatever. I have baby feet. I have tons of shoes, boots - love high heels.

I believe the country has an evil, evil side to it which we're not being shown.
However, I won't go into specifics because, well... That's a debate I'm willing to discuss on this website, never.

^^Yeah, about that...:drinker:

what i once thought exciting and exotic about myself has, due to time become banal and common.
but i am a bipolar borderline personality disorderd lesbian with green hair. i am afraid of birds, i have had major heart surgery and three major knee surgeries all before the age of 15. i have the most well adjusted biological family of all my friends. the 2.4 kids, mom dad and small dog (the .4 )
i have had the same girlfriend for the last 15 years. we are faithful but dont live togehter and will probably never get married.
i have published a book of poetry.

but other than that i am pretty boring

I'm a strange person. :laugh:

No seriously ...


- I really like cleaning
- I'm not into chick flicks .. Much rather action/horror
- I can work on cars
- I know how to weld
- Although I have a girly appearance, I like to get dirty (not in that way, perv .. well actually yes but that's not how I meant THIS)
- When I was younger, my birthday wish would always be to find a dead body. I dunno .. thought it'd be cool. I'm a weirdo.
- I also wanted to work night shift in a morgue. Now I'm too scared to & if I found a dead body, someone else would find it & me together in our cold, blue dead state.


Uhhhh That's all I can really think of right now. Everything about me is probably strange though.

lol, other than the first one, we could be behavioral twins! I'm the same way (yeah, I weld- I do metal sculpture)... after I saw the movie "Stand By Me" as a kid, I always wanted to find a dead body for some reason.

I can write with my pencil.pen.......brush my teeth with my toothbrush ........with my toes . No I don't do it regularly...only when freaking out my friends. Or making my kids laugh!
