Share some facts about yourself...

dadonet · June 2011

Im sure Ill come up with more kinda drawing a blank lol

I have OCD... I have actually punched someone for rubbing the car ceiling because they thought it was funny that I freak out

mattandbekah · June 2011

Apparently I write the letter 'O' backwards. I didnt know that, but it has been pointed out to me by several people so...I guess its true.

alison2379 · June 2011

I've lived in 5 countries.

Sunburn19 · June 2011

I HATE the sound of liquid pouring into a glass (yes, that includes wine), I lived in the only country that starts with an 'O' and about ten years ago, I was an award-winning belly dancer.

Echloe · June 2011

I still lift my feet up and make a wish every time I drive over railroad tracks like I did as a child. I also still hold my breath when I drive past a cemetery.

Wow, I totally thought I was the only one with this problem! The sound of someone touching the ceiling of a car literally makes me gag, it's disgusting! My husband thinks it's hilarious! I'm the same way with the touch and sound of cardboard does the same thing to me...yuck!

LauriJean_2009 · June 2011

I fell down an entire flight of stairs in a walker when I was a baby and fractured my skull. Otherwise, I was fine.

Me too - even if I'm driving! Embarrassed

JillD2011 · June 2011

I've broken the baby toe on my right foot around 10 times. The first time was because a canoe was dropped onto it, and it has never been the same again. I've since broken it just by turning my foot the wrong way.

rous27 · June 2011

I have an extra ankle bone on both feet. When I am bored, I will spell out random words and "give" each letter to a finger. If the word ends in the middle of my fingers (not the thumb or the pinky) then I try to find another word that will. Been doing that since I was a very bored child in school.

I rode in a hot air balloon one time and ever since I've been dreaming about owning my own balloon. It was amazing.

welcometowonderland · June 2011

I read magazines from back to front and I also read the last page of a book first.

I am also OCD and my compulsion to ease my anxieties is counting. I count repeatedly to ten over and over in certain situations.

I spell random words all the time and they have to end on an even number... lol

I'm also legally blind in my right eye and I don't technically have what doctors consider as depth perception.

LauraLP · June 2011

I'm a pretty good shot with a rifle, probably better than most men. My grandfather was a state skeet shooting champ.

Nita2603 · June 2011

There are few things not weird about me....and that's ok.

blue_angeleyes06 · June 2011

My fingers are double jointed.

Me too lol. I have never broken a bone or gotten stitches (due to an injury). However I have been hit by a car that my friend was driving at the time...

abba916 · June 2011

I had hip problems as a baby and was in a harness for the first couple of days of my life- the doc wanted me in it for a month but my mother couldn't stand it- she lasted 4 days.

I moved between TX and NY every year for school until high school when I chose to live in NY.

WyWysMommy · June 2011

I can pop almost every joint in my body. Including where my legs join my hips, my knees, and the side of my feet.

yarnymommy · June 2011

I can wiggle my ears.

I eat all candies - even M&Ms in order by color. Yellow, green, brown, orange, red, blue.

mydinkdom · June 2011

I HATE the feeling of fleece, wont eat yellow candy whatever the flavor is, its the color. My hip is permanently dislocated dur to one of my legs being slightly shorter than the other, and Im OCD about tons of things.

kalajaye17 · June 2011

I HATE HATE HATE things that are gathered up. Like seeds in a cantelope or pictures of a big crowd. or barnicles. Oh my gosh it makes me so sick. I throw up sometimes if its really bad. My mom and sister are the same way. Noone but them gets it.

primandpolished · June 2011

*I'm a bellydancer, and although I haven't performed much since being pregnant, I still rehearse at least once a week

*I own a specialty lingerie boutique (which is handy now that I ballooned from a size 30F to a 30H!! haha)

*I act and sing in local community theater

*People can rarely guess my nationality: Dutch and Surinamese (a small country in South America)

*I was born in The Netherlands, raised there for part of my life, and am fluently Bi-lingual in Dutch and English.

*My dad was recently diagnosed with ADD.. as it turns out I may have inherited it.. which would explain a lot..

blu-eyedwife · June 2011

- I have an audiographic memory. I remember everything I hear which was especially helpful because

- I have a degree in theater. I've gotten to work with numerous celebrities and quite a few of my classmates have been in/on well known movies and tv programs. Or have dated/slept with celebrities.

MothyrGrimm · June 2011

The sound of people chewing drives me absolutely insane. It's so gross, particularly my grandmothers chewing. Embarrassed

I can lie on my back and put both feet behind my head at the same time, all twisted like a pretzel even now being 6 mos pregnant. lol (Here's hoping it magically helps with labor!)

When I'm bored I have tendencies to look at people and decide what breed of dog they would be based on their looks and personalities. Can you tell I was an only child?... and possibly watched too many dog shows?

Every time I pray I blow God a kiss.

THIS THIS THIS!!!! My DH is the prime offender. His entire family chews with their mouths open and I can barely get through a meal without saying something.

I do not like to sleep; I can go days without sleeping. In college and grad school it came in very handy but it is tough during pregnancy.

zurawsk5 · June 2011

I have no problem picking maggots off of dead bodies but I can't stand to put my hands in dirty dish water. The food floating in it creeps me out!

I do the same thing with my candy! I love Welch's fruit snacks, and I always separate them by color. The ladies I eat lunch with at work always give me a hard time about it.

I separate candy by color, too. I leave my favorites for last. I do this with most of my food. Eat my least favorite foods first (one at a time) and then eat my favorite thing last. I hate it when food touches on my plate. Also- I don't like to eat 2 or 3 different cereals mixed together.

pag41989 · June 2011

One of my favorite hobbies is putting together puzzles. Even in highschool I would rather stay home on weekends and do puzzles with my mother than go out anywhere (I'm not antisocial I swear! lol). When I first decided to start staying with H (BF at the time) he was living at his grandparents in a very very tiny room barely large enough for a toddler to be content in and I actually went into a depression because I wasn't able to enjoy my favorite hobby because the room was too small to fit a table. One day H brought home an old top part of a desk that had broken so I could do puzzles and even though I could only do very small puzzles, I was extremely happy and that is one of my favorite memories I have of us Smile

lisamonkee11 · June 2011

I do surgery on mice (like for a living). And most animals/snakes/bugs/spiders don't bother me but fascinate me. Though large flocks of small birds make me nauseous. I hate the way they can populate a tree so that it looks like the tree is still full of leaves & then they take off all at once. Eeeew.

I spent 3 weeks in Equatorial Guinea (a country in west Africa) counting monkeys during the day & sea turtles at night.

I was a sharpshooter and a medic in the Army National Guard but I didn't go anywhere.

I am a picker - to the point where I have scarred myself. I can't stop - I hate it & the damage it does, but I really get some strange satisfaction from getting out a blackhead or popping a zit. It's totally gross.

Janimal · June 2011

I'm a British citizen and it really bothers me when people talk sh!t about the royal family.

I used to be a ranked Scrabble player. (Nerd alert!)

I have never tasted iced tea.

kujayhawkgirl · June 2011

Some of the bones in my body didn't form in utero -- the bones in my thumbs stop at the top joint, so they are short and stuby; I'm missing 2.5 vertebrae; I'm missing 1.5 ribs on my left side -- there's absolutely no complications from this, except for a minor case of scoliosis (which is how all of this was discovered!) )

When I have cash in my wallet, it's all organized first by the amount of the bill (not so unusual), but then within that, I organize it by serial numbers. Maybe it's beacuse I come from a banking family? **shrugs shoulders**

SpinningJess · June 2011

I've lived in the same city my whole life.

I have over 65 hours of tattoo work but often forget they are there, I'm so use to them. So when people stare at me it takes me a minute to remember why.

I love to dye fiber and spin yarn but I hate to knit or crochet. I usually either sell or give the yarn I make away.

My mom was worried that I would make her a grandmother before I was 20, but I didn't have my first child until 3 weeks before my 30th birthday.

ashleypembroke · June 2011

This is great! Here goes:

I eat my french fries according to length and in pairs.

I roll my ketchup packets to make sure I get it all out.

I have slightly deformed feet and toenails thanks to dancing en pointe for 15 years.

I have a phobia of feet (probably from the above comment).

And I have to have the thermostat, volume, or anything else numerical on an even number or I have irrational anxiety/thoughts.

A Pregnant Pause · June 2011

To dovetail off of other peoples... When I get bored I cound the syllables of sentences (that people are saying, or that I'm typing, etc) and I don't feel comfortable unless the sentence ends on a 5th syllable. I also play number games with digital clocks. Like right now if it's 12:34 then I'm happy because 12 = 3*4. I definitely eat colored candies "in order" by color from least favorite to most favorite.

As for my own... My SO's great grandfather was the former Emperor of China so I like to remind him he's not allowed to take on any concubines. Also, when we found out we were having a boy, I like to tell him not to worry because the dynasty lives on.

I've been to all 50 states and 6 of the 7 continents. I'm figuring out how to get to Antarctica.

Wat Leuk! I am American and live in the Nethlerands.

lunatunatoo · June 2011

I have two metal rods fused to my spine. I had part of my left hip removed and one of my ribs to make up for loss of bone during this sugery (anuerysmal bone cyst). The rib grew back and I can tell which was one it was becuase it sticks out just a bit further than the rest. A lot of my nerves were cut during the surgery, I have no feeling under my left under arm, part of my left breast or the left side of my back. My left hand also doesn't get pruney when I swim/take a bath and the left side of my face doesn't get red when I work out.

saffie2011 · June 2011

I've had 5 concussions thus far in life and I don't play any contact sports. My favorite was from kneeing myself in the face while trying to do a backflip into a pool. I broke my orbital bone doing that and my doctor said in over 25 years of medicine, I was his first self-induced concussion.

I never learned how to spell (phonetically), instead I just memorized how words were spelled to get through elementary school. IT was a good trick, but I am hopeless when I come to a new word and need to spell it. Thank god for spell check.

I was naked in public a lot in college.
