    Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

    Go figure, it has to be THOSE body parts...

    I have synethesia....where the senses are intertwined--some people can smell colors, taste smells and the like. Mine involves spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be "farther away" than 1990), or may have a (three-dimensional) view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise).

    I had no idea that I had this until I heard it described a few years ago on a new program...I just thought everyone thought of their numbers/years/months/weeks/decades/centuries the way I did!

    My cats think they are dogs, too....they won't walk on leashes, but come to the door when I get home and love to play catch with the ring off the milk jugs! Theyre awesome!

    My second toe on both feet is a lot longer than my big toe. My friends use to call me Monkey Girl in high school. I still to this day use my feet to pick up stuff off of the floor all the time. Its a pain because I have to buy shoes that are 1/2 to 1 size too big just to accommodate those toes. My grandma, mom, me and my daughter all have it. My mom actually had part of the bone in hers taken out at the same time she had her bunion surgery. I have a problem with definitely too! Thank goodness for spell check!

    I burn out watch and cell phone batteries, and lightbulbs when I flick switches. If I'm really mad and flip a light switch it pops so loud. I used to make all the phones at work make this weird static buzzing sound when I reached for them. I also can make a radio have less static by standing near it and I once had to stand behind a tv during a work presentation because the cord connecting the dvd player to the tv was totally frayed and not working but for some reason when I stood behind the tv it worked fine.

    So I guess I run on some high electrical current or something? :ohwell:

    my cat's think that they are dogs- I have never had cat's till these two (brother and sister) so I treat them like dogs. I take them for walks on leashes and they play fetch with their balls. No joke- and better then my old dogs cuz the cat's drop the balls... my dogs would always make me get it out of their mouths. They also go camping with me.

    Yes, they also have a birthday party- since it is in the beginning of summer it is just an excuse to have a bonfire but it works. Their names are Captain Jack and Sparrow- so yes a pirate themed party.


    I swear not a crazy cat lady (yet) I just treat them like dogs and what I would do with dogs I do with them.... ok the party is a little crazy but I swear it is just an excuse to party. :drinker:

    My cat must think it's a dog too, it always has its tongue out, hates catnip, and drools way too much. Oh, Chairman Meow, you kinda rule.

    My cats used to do this and would come running when I opened a new gallon of milk.

    I have a very strange phobia, midgets. Not sure why. If Im at a store or something and see a midget down the isle, I go the other way.

    All my fingers are double jointed... I first noticed this when I was writing a lot when I was like fourteen and I thought I broke my pointer finger.

    I still have hard time in English (especially in speaking) even if I studied it for more than 10 years.

    Many people's whose native language is English have a difficult time speaking English. You're doing a great job!

    I have weird food obsessions. Like pickled Okra, pickled beets, condensed cream of mushroom soup with rice. (no water added.) taking the time to spoon out all of the cookie dough from the ice cream but leaving the ice cream. Stuff like that.

    Some words will make me seriously squeamish. Just a few that make me quiver are: fleshy, moist and sinewy.

    My buddy hates the word 'girth', so we use it as often as possible.

    Due to a plate-glass window incident years ago, and having had no insurance at that time to afford the needed corrective surgery, when the little finger on my right hand gets touched, I feel the touch right below my right elbow. If that area near my elbow gets touched, I feel it in my little finger.

    I'd be open to the idea of getting a tattoo if I had the body I want and found something I'd be into having on me. It'd have to be a black and grey one though.
