    1. Was brought up on stage at a Blue Man Group show a couple years ago.
    2. Scaled a 100ft cliff with no climbing gear when I was 10.
    3. Designed and built my first 500+ horsepower small block at age 16.
    4. Owned a Winchester .30-30 lever action rifle when I was 7.
    5. When I was 5, I died and was brought back to life (drowned).

    Guess I've always been kind of an adrenaline junkie........

    1. I'm a small engine mechanic. (I don't find this unique, but others seem to.)
    2. I've never seen all those movies everyone else has seen. (Harry Potter, Twilight, Star Wars, Indiana Jones...)
    3. Even though I'm now 6' tall, I was a competitive gymnast and a cheerleader for over 10 years.
    4. I'm a mom of twins. (sanity is overrated)
    5. I hate diamonds, gold and roses!

    Haha...I kept it clean! That's a first for me, I think! :laugh:

    1. My biggest pet peeve is when people say "I could care less." It's "I couldn't care less."
    2. I have two cats
    3. I can't have anyone else fold my clothes, I have to do it as I have a special way of doing it.
    4. I've done the race up the Empire State Building and Swam Across Long Island Sound
    5. I love to cook but hate doing dishes

    1. I'm fluent in 5 languages technically, 4 of which are basically the same (in case you're wondering...Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Montenegrin) 5th of course would be English, and I'm currently trying to learn Swedish.
    2. I've lived through 2 wars (Bosnian War in '92 - '95 and the NATO aggression on Serbia in '99)
    3. I'm afraid of deep water, not like in pools, more like in the sea.... the feeling of not knowing what's lurking under me freaks me out, or that moment when you're not so close to shore and you look down and all you can see is darkness..yikes!
    4. I wear contact lenses, I have been since my sophomore year in high school.
    5. I recently got stuck in an elevator for about 30 minutes, ALONE.... worst 30 minutes of my life I think. I have just gotten back from a 7 hour bus ride, starving... my first though after I've realized the elevator is stuck was "Am I really gonna die hungry, seriously?" haha :D
  • 1. I tend to randomly (or sometimes purposely) bark aloud like a dog. It's impulsive, and I've been told by many that the sound is uncanny to that of a real dog.

    2. I am very neurotic when it comes to my hands. If my hands become sticky for example, I will go into super panic mode until they are washed. At times, I wash my hands just for the sake of washing them. Wouldn't call it obsessive though.

    3. I hold money just to look at it. If I receive large bills, I'll keep it for as long as possible---even if there is something that could be purchased with it--- because I just love to stare at money. I will refrain from buying more expensive items just to prevent from breaking down aforementioned large bill.

    4. I bite. I'm not even talking in a dirty kind of way.. I just like to bite people.

    5. I become extremely apologetic at times, and tend to feel incredibly bad if someone purchases something for me.. be it on a date or on a day with significance like a birthday. If the item looks expensive, I accept it gracefully, but tend to feel awful about it for quite a while.

    1 - I traveled to all seven continents by the time I was 30.
    2 - I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro
    3 - I have bunji jumped (Vic Falls) and jumped out of an airplane (Moab), even though I'm terrified of heights (litterally shaking and they had to push me out of the plain and off the plank where I bunjied).
    4 - My long term jobs have had nothing to do with my studies - I have been both in banking and telecommunications- went to school for Psychology and Spanish and worked my way up from entry level (file room clerk and admin) to senior positions.
    5 - I have never broke a bone in my body- only sprains - despite all of my activities.
  • 1. I have had to go to court over someone cutting down trees on their own property.
    2. My husband and I will travel to another state just to be able to color it in on a map that we keep.
    3. My doctor misdiagnosed me as having a stroke when I was 26, which ultimately caused anxiety attacks.
    4. I make at least one pie or cake a week and never eat it.
    5. I have pet snakes, but I'm extremely afraid of centipedes!
  • You are Unique in more ways than 5. (that's a good thing)

    1. I was the Darrington, Washington Rodeo Queen in 1987
    2. I had my second son at home delivered by a midwife on the hottest day in July (1995)
    3. I use to work on a dairy farm milking cows when I was in high school
    4. I'm freekishly scared of any water other than a swimming pool (goldfish can be vicious)
    5. The only time I am warm is when it is below 20 degrees or above 80 degrees, anything in between and I have to dress in layers.

    1. I enlisted in the army reserves when I was 17 (I needed my parents to co-sign my enlistment contract)
    2. I once had a fish of mine get run over by a car (as I was riding my bike back from the ped shop and the bag fell in the road)
    3. I met my husband online, we "dated" long distance for less than 8 months before getting married in Hawaii. That was over 10 years ago.
    4. I have "delivered" about 12 babies, I am a labor and delivery nurse and quite often the doctor does not make it in time
    5. When I was in highschool I had a job at McDonalds. My boss told me I was dumb for going to college because I had a very bright future ahead of me at the golden arches.

    lol I think its funny that a lot of what people think is unique is something that was common years ago...

    1) I have moved over 30 times ( I am 28. Not from a military family just a very unsettled mother)

    2) I have been stabbed (steak knife when I was 10), shot (shot gun when I was 11, choked to unconsciousness x 2, shot with a dart gun and I was knocked unconscious by a homeless guy.

    3) I have had a reoccurring dream at least once a week since I was about 12 years old. The story gets longer.

    4) I have an intense fear of climbing down things, no fear of heights ( I have bungee jumped) I can climb up a latter fine, have a terrifying depilating fear climbing down one.

    5) I can read, edit and correct other's writing with near perfect grammar and punctuation corrections, yet I do not notice my mistakes (I have plenty in this list alone, but I second guess it every time.)

    1. I am a synesthete - I have both grapheme-color and number form synesthesia.
    1. I also have number form synesthesia.

    Whoah! I have a mild form of spatial-sequence synesthesia (interesting read from 1881: http://galton.org/essays/1880-1889/galton-1881-jaigi-visualised-numerals.pdf).

    Thanks for the article! I have number form/spatial-sequence synesthesia. I have unique spatial forms for my numbers, alphabet, hours of the day, days of the week, days of the month, months of the year, and years. I honestly didn't know it was abnormal until I started reading up on synesthesia.
