-My grandfather (on my dad's side) was rescued from a Nazi camp by an African American soldier during the second World War. As the story goes, when this happened, he had thought he had died and was seeing the devil, never seeing a black person before in his life. True story.

-I have a compulsion which forces me to crack my knuckles whenever I hear/see/read/think about the term "crack you/my knuckles" or see or hear someone the aforementioned action. I have not once in my life been able to get away with not following someone's knuckle cracking, no matter how hard I have tried.

[David_Dovey]

I admire a dude who thinks that when he dies he is going to Hell.

[snalin]

I met all of my girlfriends in the scouts. All. God damn.

One of my best bonding moments with my dad was when he taught me to play Age Of Empires.

I have played in a Shakespeare play.

[Patrick]

Man coming from the Bay Area, where we have Oakland, and then living in Georgia where the black to white ratio is roughly 50/50, I cannot imagine what it would be like to meet somebody who didn't look like me.

man i have this exact same compulsion, except it applies to my neck, back, and toes as well (basically, anything that can get cracked, does). i think this means we cannot be friends because we would just stand around cracking our knuckles all day long. bummer.

tell me, do you also have to crack your knuckles whenever you wash your hands?

[Sox]

Anyway, I did not talk until I was three years old. And then when I finally did talk, I said "I want a soda."
proudest moment

Oh yeah?
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Suck it.

[GreyGabe]

Mirrors fill me with a powerful feeling of dread. Even if my back is turned to it. I have no idea why this is.
I also have a similar problem with windows, but it isn't as bad, and only at night. I defeat this by sleeping in a room with no windows at all.

[mietteissass]

I suffer from a form of psychosis brought on by a fit of dementia when I was 13. I was in a mental institute for my 13th birthday and have to deal with everyday. I take pills to help me and have done very well but when I tell people this, they assume I am very crazy and might go all psycho on them. I think if they knew how many people suffer from the same problem, they would be shocked.

On a lighter note, when I was little I could dislocate all my limbs and be a rag doll. I had a babysitter I hated once so I pretended to throw myself down the steps, dislocated everything and she thought I was dead.

[JD]

I have absurdly long toes, I've picked up food with them before. (it was a bet and i threw the food in question away)
I can also dislocate a toe in my foot
My brother has autism.
I have a niece.( I am 15)

[michaelicious]

How much older is your sibling with a child?

My aunt became an aunt when she was 11 and my cousin became an uncle when he was like 7 years old. His sibling who is closest in age is like 15 years older than him.

[Boro_Bandito]

I am absolutely TERRIFIED of dancing anywhere near people. I start having panic attacks if people ask me to dance. A girl at a bar one time kept asking me to dance, I kept telling her, "No, I do not dance," and she started to drag me out to the floor. I started freaking out and I ran away from her and grabbed my beer and hid in a shadowy corner for the next hour, receiving worried text messages from the friends I went with, whimpering like a hungry infant.

Late to the party here, but I'm the exact same way dude. In fact several scenarios very similar to that have happened to me. I think this is one of the reasons I do not have a girlfriend.

When I was 2 years old I was running through the church my family went to and ran into the corner of a very sharp table, ending up with me getting 14 stitches over my left eye. I am an atheist now, and I'm not sure if its partly because of this. Related to that, when I was in 4th grade I told another student at my elementary school that I was an atheist, which ended in half of the kids there ostracizing me for the rest of the year, a call to the principle's office (very religious town, public school), and several student's parents sending me bibles via their annoyed kids.

Also, along with several other people here, I was a very late talker. Apparently I didn't actually talk until I was 3 and a half, up until that point I just pointed and grunted. Then when I did talk it was apparently in full sentences, with perfect diction and an excellent vocabulary. My family says that I liked to say really long words. Also from my own observation of family home videos when I was a kid I had an absurdly high speaking voice. It was squeaky in fact. Which is weird because I was quite the little butterball turkey.

[ackblom12]

I count. An old nervous habit I've never seen a reason to break. I know for a fact this isn't necessarily a uncommon thing but it tends to amuse friends when I know exactly how many steps a building has because I either have been there before and counted on the way up or I can give a good estimate of how many tiles are in the ceiling of a restaurant because I did the math wile waiting to be seated. Hell, I know we have 14 steps in our stair well, 15 if you count the step down from the foorway to the porch and 19 if you count the stairs on the porch and I still count them every single time I use them.

[phooey]

I think if they knew how many people suffer from the same problem, they would be shocked.

How many?  Yknow, so I can add it to the 'That will learn you' thread

[JD]

My sister is 26 and my niece is 5

I forgot to mention I watched the whole titanic movie when i was 4. Bluh

I was also scared of Jumanji. Bluh to the 2nd power.

[WriterofAllWrongs]

I was actually born in Germany on a US military base.

I can juggle.

I have a unibrow that I pluck fervently because no no no.

[jhocking]

I have no idea what the first thing I ever said was, but it was probably in Korean, a fact that is rather ironic because I have forgotten most of how to speak Korean.

Also, this reminds me that my mom has the first drawing I ever made and I forgot to scan it over Christmas. I want a copy of my first drawing!

when I was little I could dislocate all my limbs and be a rag doll

Wait, everything? That is pretty fucked up.

[RedLion]

I have a specific color order in which I must eat starbursts. (It is: pink, orange, red, yellow)

Jens that pinky thing is creepy as all hell. Christ.

I think if folks knew how prevalent mental illness is, period, they'd be shocked. I have a dear family member who was recently hospitalized because of a bipolar I - related psychotic break.

[TwistedRemedy]

I once fell into a manhole. It hurt.

[BrittanyMarie]

Word Mr. Pizza. It'd be a good thing if it was more public, not just something no one ever talks about. Speaking of which...

When I was 12 I stopped my grandpa from killing my grandma. (he is now on medication and is apparently doing well)
My dad has been paralyzed from the waist down since I was a month old
and lighter! I can stick my tongue UP my throat and that is actually what I am doing in my avatar.

[Alex C]

Jens that pinky thing is creepy as all hell. Christ.

You should meet my cousin. He has Type 3 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. You name it, he can dislocate it. A rather unfortunate condition; I wouldn't wish it on anyone.


Anyway, one odd thing about me: one side of my family has a long, checkered history with hereditary disorders, particularly along the male line. Somehow, I express none of them, even if it is fairly likely that I'm a carrier. No mom jokes please; I look so much like and act so much like my dad that it's rather uncanny; I just somehow dodged all the guy's problems.

[Mr. Skawronska]

I assemble rifles from parts as a hobby.

When did it ever occur to you to go up instead of out
 


True story, I used to be mad cool on these forums.
I guess that isn't strange, just sad.

[BrittanyMarie]

I have no idea, but I do get asked that a lot. I think it might have just happened one day because I used to play with my uvula with my tongue and that means nothing dirty.

I remember you though; you are the dude with longish really curly hair right?

[Yunior]

I have had a few haircuts since.

[JD]

Since when has uvula been part of a dirty joke? I clearly have a old version of the "vulgar jokes" book.

[BrittanyMarie]

It was the "play with my" and "tongue" in the same sentence. Also uvula sounds dirty for some reason. It is kinda close to vulva?

[tragic_pizza]

It's... kind of the other end of the body...

[IronOxide]

It's about as high up as you get without it legally counting as skullfuckin'.

[WriterofAllWrongs]

Jens that is both cool and stomach-wrenching. 

[RallyMonkey]

I have a restraining order against a convicted mass murderer.

[MrBlu]

Holy crap, dude, you're my freaking hero.

[Alex C]

The problem with restraining orders is that people who are willing to kill have bigger problems to worry about than violating an injuction. Like where to hide the body.

[MadassAlex]

I have this really strange aversion to intimacy. I've had too many attractive girls try to get with me considering my (lack of) looks than's fair for someone of my social placement (i.e. nerd). Not that it happens all the time or anything, but surprisingly often (and mostly out of the blue - not even at parties or clubs or anything). I don't really know why. Intimacy just scares the shit out of me.

OR

While I have been a guitar musician for some years now, I originally played piano, clarinet and viola (at different times). All of my teachers considered me exceptionally talented, which is strange because I'm wondering where my talent went now that I play guitar.

OR

My grandfathers were on opposite sides during WWII! They were even in the same battles! When they were alive, they got along great, too. They were really awesome, awesome grandfathers to have.

OR

The first time I got really, really smashed, I went to the beach alone, shirtless, and sang Creep at the top of my lungs for like, half an hour. I don't even like Radiohead.

I shortly became paranoid that I was being stalked by ghosts and went off to practise shredding on an acoustic guitar.

OR

I am the epitome of nerd! Anime, wargames, video games, dorky music (like heavy metal and european folk), glasses, social awkwardness ect. Somehow I get away with this.

OR

None of my friends are rockers, so I have never been in a band despite how much I'd love to play music with others.

OR

I am very elitist when it comes to music. I think that some music is literally, objectively better than other music and I know it's a terrible way to think but I can't help it.
I think it might be because I find melody and harmony so much more engaging, musically, than rhythm. And so much modern (youth) music is based on rhythm before melody or real harmony, and since I associate that with the youth culture that I feel left out of, it makes me a little angry. (Some of you could have guessed that!)

But I try to respect music universally as much as I can.

OR

I am very humble and shy in real life in almost all situations, but I like to talk about myself over the internet.

Yeah i'm definately okay with not thinking you might go all psycho on someone. jk.

You are totally my favorite person, I hope you have a younger sister who is exactly like you and my age.

[snalin]

I met all of my girlfriends in the scouts. All. God damn.

NSF or KFUK/KFUM?

KFUK/KFUM. But one of them was NSF.

The funny part is the one where I was too young to make jokes about how all of the NSF scouts were "Not Suitable For Scout".

[Metope]

I have the entire discography of Red Hot Chili Peppers in my CD shelf. I also own a Coldplay CD.


So basically, dive into my CD collection and you will discover some horrid stuff.

[Cartilage Head]

 I used to be terrified of the movie E.T., and had nightmares about him for years (even after I stopped being scared of the movie.)

[orgasmtechnician]

I can skate. Also, in my bedroom, the 4 walls are all painted different colours: Blue, Orange, Green and Purple.

[Josefbugman]

I live underground

Also, first ever date has been cancelled, and for some odd reason I don't care.

Final thing: I am both dyslexic and dybraxic, so I get a computer and additional time in exams.

I'm not trying to attack you... but what is dybraxic?  or did you mean dyspraxic?  Only reason I ask is beacuse I work in the medical field and haven't heard of Dybraxic before, that stuff just interests me is all.

[TheDozarian]

I went on a drunken bender one night and woke up on the sidewalk about a mile from my apartment...  Still drunk.

Anyway, I did not talk until I was three years old. And then when I finally did talk, I said "I want a soda."

Oh man, I was the same way. I was two and said "I want chocolate. I NEEEED CHOCOLATE."

This is not that bad, Kris. I have been known to listen to Smash Mouth. In fact, one of their albums is among my all-time favourites. You should count yourself lucky.

[Josefbugman]

Is that how you spell it? I actually tend to get my B's and P's confused (and oddly my threes and sevens).

I don't generally refer to it on CV's, so I don't generally know how to spell it, and it usually only comes up in interviews. Plus, only a mild case, hence the lack of motor control and handwriting that looks as if it was created by putting a spider through a mangle, dipping it in ink and then throwing it at the page.

Well, those are the ones I still have and keep around because of nostalgia. I don't even want to talk about the ones I've thrown away.

(Lots and lots of boyband CDs. Backstreet Boys, A1, Westlife, you name it. Also the first Avril Lavigne album. please don't judge me.)

[Patrick]

Also the first Avril Lavigne album. please don't judge me.

This needed to be larger.

Shut up shut up shut up shut up.



God why am I doing this to myself?
