Interesting Facts About You That Few People Know About

[MeanJoePhaser]

When no one's looking, sometimes I eat raw mixes, like cookie, muffin, cake and frosting mixes. Not with eggs (too risky), sometimes I add water, and sometimes I just eat them in powder form. Can't be healthy.

I cook pasta when I'm alone and usually only put spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese on it.

I think I'm immune to poison ivy. Not gonna test that one, though.

I have juvenile interests, but usually don't like to be around children.

^ I wouldn't want *any* foreign object stuck inside me that wasn't supposed to be there. I don't really care how harmless it was. I'd want it out of there ASAP.

Well, it's been in my arm for over fifteen years. I figure if it was going to cause any problems, it would probably have done so by now.

Hmmm there's not much about me, that I'm going to open up with:

1) I'm actually a very intellectual person, though I do cover it up as best as I can with as much immaturity as I can. It's easy to throw people off when first your talking about children's cartoons and then get into a philosophical debate about the meaning of the cartoons before going back and saying "but they are soooo cute"

2) Despite how bad my mental illnesses can get, I actually have pretty good control over them. No one realizes how much will power and mental power I actually have when controlling myself during my phases.

3) I am at my peak of humor when I am the most depressed. I have a philosophy that is simply, "it is easier to fake a smile, than shed a tear"

4) I am very logical. Despite my batshit insanity half the time, I am very analytical in my behavior and that's why most people think I'm schzoid .

5) I have driven...pretty much a lot of cars in my short life. 36 Ford, 57 Ford Fairlane, 59 Thunderbird, a GMC Cargo Van, trucks, PT Cruiser, Firebird, and a bunch of other things but I've never learned how to drive a stick >.<

6) Though for some odd reason I am allergic to a variety of things, dog food, paper, and an assortment of other things don't affect me at all, including ant poison, bleach, and other chemicals like windex and cleaner.

Still, doesn't the mere fact that it's *there* bother you?

You'd think so, but no, not really. It's hardly noticeable, and in truth, before I read this thread, I hadn't even thought about it myself in probably a few years.

I still hold the under 9s individual medley swimming record at my old swimming club. I set it in 1993. I was a pretty decent swimmer, made it to state twice in my final two years of swimming.

I don't use urinals. I use to but when using a trough some idiot pissed on me, so I stopped using those types and only the individual urinals only to have another idiot manage to piss on me 2 months later so now I don't use any of them out of a slight paranoid fear some random guy is going to piss on me if I do.

 

[Gryffindorian]

Wow. I hope they didn't do it intentionally.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

I have a 2nd degree black belt in Okinawan Uechi Ryu karate.

In middle school and about halfway through high school, I was always very shy and introverted, occasionally picked on and generally awkward and lanky. I don't think I would have gotten the attention of the opposite sex if I'd had a neon sign pointing at me. Didn't have a girlfriend until Senior year.

Once had a tumor on my right shoulder when I was about 10 years old. It came about due to a ruptured blood vessel. Luckily it was benign. I still have a scar and the memory of it being excised.


I get very, very cranky when a) I've just woken up and haven't had coffee and/or a shower and b) when I haven't eaten anything in a while and I get hungry.

 

[Rii]

I can juggle.

For the longest time, as a child, I was afraid of people trying to cut my fingernails, so I used to chew them off. Not to eat them, not at all interested in that, I just cut them with my teeth and spit them out.
Thankfully I grew up and learned how to cut them myself. Problem solved.

I never slept with a stuffed animal until one day, when I was about seven, my mum and I were going through her old toys and found this cute teddy bear of hers. I started sleeping with it and only stopped when I began high school.

I'm a big fan of David Bowie.

I love playing Trivial Pursuit.

I love swords and knives and have a small collection.

as a child i was ambidextrous, but was told i coouldn't be both left and right handed by a teacher. i chose left handed. however, i only *write* left handed. i play cricket, tennis, badminton and so on righty, i eat right handed, drink right handed etc.

not that i play a great deal of sports, but when i did...

 

[WillsBabe]

I suffer from depression. When I'm at my worst I feel that it's stealing my life from me. Some days, I contemplate suicide several times a day. It's only recently that I've been able to tell my husband and some members of my family how badly affected I am. Sometimes I find it unbearable to be out of the house and in the company of other people.

And on a completely unrelated note...

I find men snogging to be a total turn-on.

Sig-worthy.

I love swords and knives and have a small collection.

I own a British Pattern 1907 sword bayonet.

I use it as a ritual sword.

 

[J. MacLean]

When I was born I had six toes on each foot.

I have a secret death wish.

I'm 29 and never had a boyfriend, never kissed a guy, never had sex.

I can't smell at all.

More little known facts about me:

* I have a family history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. My parents and three of my sisters are diabetic, and I could be, too. I've been taking cholesterol medication for many years (mostly a maintenance drug), though my latest lab results reveal that I'm still above normal. I also take medicines regularly for acid reflux and nasal allergies on a daily basis (although such conditions aren't severe).

* I played the trumpet in high school when I took beginning and intermediate band classes. I also performed in a few concerts and school events, but that was ages ago.

* I don't speak Spanish but studied the language in high school and in college and got excellent grades. I know verb conjugations and grammar, but I write Spanish better than I speak it. Also, when I was a loner geek in high school, I went to the library a lot and self-studied foreign languages like Italian and Russian. I can read the Cyrillic alphabet and know a few Russian expressions.

* I have a ton of non-fiction books at home (medical, science, astronomy, travel, arts, mythology, religion, history, sociology, astrology, etc.), the majority of which I haven't read yet. I'm more of a book collector than a reader.

When I was nine a documentary film crew spent three months with my family for an HBO documentary produced and narrated by Gloria Steinem. I was in my awkward chubby phase to boot. Shortly thereafter Heather Locklear starred as my mother in a made-for-TV movie "inspired" by my family.

not being funny, but why?

 

[Thespeckledkiwi]

I collect stuffed animals...They comfort me.

First off one in response to Kestra. I hide myself in...well not a similar way, but want to know why I almost always have a beard? It's because I can not bear looking at myself in the mirror without it. With the beard I'm okay from the neck up, without it I'm a horrible bloated blob.

And I've got scars too. One almost a full foot long from just above my penis to just above my bellybutton where they cut me up when I had complications from an appendix operation when I was twelve. It's now shaped my belly in a manner that it looks like a dogs mouth almost, not to mention the fact that the scar itself has some pretty stiching scars, especially around the bellybutton. The 4 inch appendix scar is very modest and clean looking in comparison.

I also have a lot of scars on my hands, not any kind of cutting thing, just injuries that I've happened to get.


As for other stuff I'll start with a quote:

I'm a good kisser.

I am too. Uncharacteristic of me to say such a confident thing but I am.


I have genes for a number of diagnoses, most of them fun stuff like Aspergers and ADD, but some stuff not as fun as Ehlers Dahlos syndrome (joint problems) and not to mention some heart problems and a bit of diabetes. Basically I'm a genetic time bomb and the responsible thing would really be not to get kids. Which isn't likely to happen any time soon in any case.

The positive thing with this though is that I'm sorta focused on getting some stuff done before I get too old seeing as I really have no idea when I might keel over.


I'm very particular about my hygiene. I mean not like OCD level but when I wash my hands I do it really well and I wash them several times when cooking food.


I don't fear going gray, but I'd like to keep my hair for as long as possible.


My music taste is all over the place. I listen to everything from Nickleback, to Ennio Morricone, to soundtrack to obscure Anime.


I almost only eat beef when I eat meet, don't like pork much, not to crazy about chicken either and I don't eat fish. But I betcha I can cook all of them so that they're delicious.


I'm a dog lover these days, but in the past I was scared to death of them. Then when I had to study from home mom and dad decided that we should get a dog to keep me company and we got the most awesome dog ever, a Golden Retriever that we named Sigge. Nicest dog ever, very obedient most of the time and was always there for me. Even though I'm ashamed to admit that even though he made me stop fearing dogs I never cuddled him as much as I am with mom and dads current dogs Keiran and Zilver. That is my eternal regret about him. We had to put him down about five years ago and I miss him dearly still.

I still quicken my pace and tense up to anticipate an attack around groups of teenage boys. It's silly really, I'm bigger, stronger and older then each of them, but I still revert back to that scared kid in grade school inside.


I voted yes for the Euro. The majority in the country voted no. Bastards.


I hated stick when I was learning to drive. Now I could not imagine driving anything else.


I can pinch a penny like you wouldn't believe.


I was afraid to watch any kind of "scary" or "bloody" movie until I was 13. Then I watched "Jaws" and it was downhill from there Still don't like horror movies too much though.


I don't believe in a single almighty God, but I do believe there are such things as spirits and energies. I'm susceptible to these energies and mom always takes me along to look at houses and cars since I can tell if something bad happened with it in the past. Mom and I have also both seen the spirit of the child that would have been the fifth sibling that she lost to a miscarriage.


I fear being alone as I get older, I fear suffering, I fear death. I fear all these terribly.
