While sitting on the toilet, I actually pre-fold my toilet paper. Like, I roll off a long sheet, tear off two squares, fold them, put them on my thigh, repeat, and make a three-squarer or two for the initial swipe.

I have a car racing licence and a suit and a helmet but my cousin crashed my racecar several years ago so I gave up.

mietteissass · « **Reply #2 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:19 »

I can cross one eye at a time.

While sitting on the toilet, I actually take my shirt off.

est · « **Reply #4 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:25 »

It is kind of a logical thing to do, especially if it is warm. Smell rising from the toilet can get trapped within your shirt if it's left on.

I was captain of my Knowledge Bowl (Quiz Bowl, Academic Bowl, etc) team in high school and went to the state competition twice.

tl;dr I was a giant nerd.

(post things you think people do not know about you and will probably be at least mildly surprised to discover)

Liz · « **Reply #7 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:32 »

Hey, I bet some people are surprised about that one. Jeez.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #8 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:36 »

I am in fact a heterosexual

I'm a mild epileptic.

Also I knew the lunchy fact, I feel special.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #11 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:46 »

I have a mild fear of the local butterfly house

Dazed · « **Reply #12 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:51 »

I work out every other day-ish, but only between midnight and 3 in the morning.

jhocking · « **Reply #13 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 20:56 »

I once rode a tank.

I don't have anything on my record. Like, criminal record. I'm clean.

Oh wait, things you didn't know about me. Shit.

De_El · « **Reply #20 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 21:52 »

When I was young, I got into a nervous habit of scratching my head until it bled. It was actually one of the more satisfying nervous habits I have had.

Spluff · « **Reply #21 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:00 »

I rolled a quadbike once.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #22 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:07 »

I helped a cow give birth that had wandered into a dam and gotten mired in the mud when she was heavily pregnant. And stopped the cow from drowning in the mud afterwards.

(This was surprising to me because I'm not a farmer. I was also very, very hungover at the time.)

Inlander · « **Reply #23 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:15 »

I've been in the custody of the Russian police.

They had a Lenin Brigade pennant on the wall of their office and they were watching Inspector Rex dubbed into Russian.

Emaline · « **Reply #24 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:37 »

I don't know why everybody hates list threads so much.

I don't have any weird facts about myself.

Uh...I once fell and broke my face open(which resulted in me getting stitches, and "almost bleeding to death" or so says my mother), while playing Wizard Of Oz. I had built a yellow brick road out of legos, and tripped and smashed my face.

I used to be heavily into acting. I once played the Good Witch in the Wiz.

90% of my friends are from the internet.

Liz · « **Reply #25 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:43 »

I nearly lost my thumb when I was seven. Well, the end of it.

I know how to fire and a gun and got a perfect score on my gun safety target practice test (all bulls-eyes).

I know a secret recipe for barbecue sauce that is famous throughout much of west central Minnesota.

michaelicious · « **Reply #26 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:44 »

I get scared when I hear loud cars driving late at night.

yelley · « **Reply #27 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:44 »

i don't have a uvula. (i think a lot of you know this already)

i have to eat skittles in groups of 3 in acceptable color combinations. (i think some may know this too)

i am also afraid of the butterfly house.

i brush my teeth while i am in the shower.

michaelicious · « **Reply #28 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:45 »

My brother does that (the teeth brushing thing). He has never been able to give a reason for it.

yelley · « **Reply #29 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:48 »

i think it saves time. brush with one hand, rinse the shampoo out with the other.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #30 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:50 »

I'd be afraid of getting shampoo in my mouth.

There's just something about that many butterflies in one place that creeps me the fuck out.

Emaline · « **Reply #31 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 22:52 »

For all the organic, and natural soaps and tooth pastes, and deorderant, and other toiletries I used, I also use expensive, overly chemically shampoo and conditioner.

I am afraid of sleeping in the dark, and thus always have a night light.(currently, it's the thinkgeek jellyfish tank)

clockworkjames · « **Reply #32 on:** 20 Jan 2009, 23:18 »

I get called "mel" more times per day than I get called james, clockwork, or cwj.

Umm, this. Almost exactly. Except I went to state four times (though the first three years I only went to cheer on the team).

I also went to quiz bowl camp two of four summers in high school. It ranks in the top five most fun things I did in high school. No joke.

I can't watch an episode of Powerpuff Girls without getting really bored ever since I watched three episodes in Italian, awestruck, when I was in Rome three years ago.

I severed 3 tendons and had to get 15 stitches on my left hand whilst illustrating that the 1st 6 inches of the blade on my claymore were blunted, "for safety."

I have Crohn's disease in my lower small intestine. Some of you know this.

I wear too-tight pants and am constantly afraid my junk is clearly visible through them.

In some circles I am known almost exclusively as "Cookie Monster".

Dude you could be an episode of house or something, real talk.

I occasionally like to listen to music that is not made entirely with computers.

I am not circumcised.

I like basketball.

I am actually really hairy underneath my clothes.

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #41 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 00:31 »

I used to play a lot of tennis but I haven't picked up a racket in years.

I was in an English class full of 2nd graders accelerated up to a 4th grade curriculum when I was in kindergarten. I retook the class the next year after skipping 1st grade. I like to tell myself that it's because they didn't have anywhere else to put me but I think it was really just that I wasn't doing any work in kindergarten regardless of what class I was in (who actually does work in kindergarten anyway?).

I think I might have an innate hatred toward very attractive girls.

Or

I can bend my pinky toe to a 90 degree angle from the rest of my foot.

Also:
I cannot curl any but my big toe voluntarily. The second toe just sort of goes with the big toe, but doesn't curl all the way.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #46 on:** 21 Jan 2009, 02:12 »

I volunteraily covered my eyes at the age of 17 when a girl I liked and her friend took off their tops and bra. Of course I was drunk, polite and very angry to see said girl getting with (as in kissing) an absolute bastard.

I have spent more time in Iran and Afghanistan than in the United States.
OR
I was born right after the Tchernobyl catastrophe and my family actually drove away from the cloud.
OR
When I was a little child, I was a big dreamer and did not spend much time thinking about the real world. Thus, I walked cross-legged a lot of the time.
My parents cured this by putting my shoes on the wrong feet (i.e. left one on the right foot and right one on the left foot).

I eat my hamburger and macaroni off of my plate in counter-clockwise circles, turning my plate every few bites.
