I was also accelerated a year at primary school; I voluntarily moved back down when I went up to secondary school meaning that I had to do the same year twice.

That isn't very strange, or interesting.

What else?

I have semi-double jointed elbows. They bend both ways. That's about it really.

I had a large (size of an orange) abscess in my appendix. First time in as an emergency, they snipped off the unaffected end, and then drained the abscess (that means: kept a hole open in my abdomen for the pus to leak out of), which took several weeks. A year later they went in to remove the remains.

Movie theaters send me into hysterics, I fucking hate them. I have to have at least 4 people with me if I'm to be convinced to go to the movies.

I once spent over 70 hours awake due to a single 2-hour delay at an airport (I am unable to sleep on planes and I am terrified of sleeping in airports).

I haven't worn shorts in 10 years. I hate the things, they look horrible on me.

I have been diagnosed with clinical depression at least 4 times, bipolar disorder once.

I had problems with daytime wetting until I was like 12.

from grades 4 to 10 i was one of those public school programs for gifted kids who are apparently really smart. i discontinued (it went until grade 12) because i didn't like the pressure and it seemed like it kind of made the other kids who were there with me into arrogant pricks.

when i was 16 i was arrested with a couple of other friends for jumping out of some bushes and scaring my friend while wearing bandanas and pointing toy guns at him. he thought it was funny. somebody else called the police. we had a helicopter after us and i had to do the whole, lie on the ground hands behind your head get in the car and everything. the charges were all dropped, luckily.

As for strange things. Hm. Up util very recently, my left index finger, which was my substitute-pacifier for a few years, was super freckly. I don't know if there is a connection between the two, but it always struck me as odd.

Other things about me: Was the best defensive infielder in my region for baseball back in the day. At least in my opinion and the local paper. I got Defensive MVP for about three years straight -- and that's well over 40 games. Nice.

In terms of jobs, that's what I'm in the process of finding out. I was laid off about 51 minutes ago. I'm updating my resume and browsing Craigslist and Jobfox at the moment.

For baseball I was always blessed to play everywhere. Second base and shortstop is where I spent most of my time, but I also had the strongest arm on the team so corner (third) was somewhere I always liked to be. We were a competitive league. Coaches actually scouted down and had a few other members on a staff to watch the pitching and hitting tendencies of other players, so I often shifted to be in the best position. I also pitched from time to time, (I am so pissed they never let me fully pitch and develop my arm, I was tossing 60s in my early teens) and I got to play center a hell of a lot because I was quick and ran good routes. This was usually when we played teams who had good fly ball hitters. I never played first base in my older years of baseball, and catcher was rare.

I was a top two guy in the batting order too because of my speed, but my hitting was never as good as most other players. I actually preferred hitting at the lower spots (like 7-9) because there wasn't as much pressure, and I knew the guys behind me would get on base and knock me in.

I am sorry to hear you were laid off, that definitely sucks. I've been looking at apartments and stuff on Craigslist in some metro areas in preparation to be there by Spring/Summer 2010. The difference between a one or two bedroom in the Twin Cities as opposed to Boston or out on the East Coast is just nuts.

Good luck on the hunt man.

I was insanely homoerotic back in high school, especially in my theater tech group. Keep in mind it was all-boys.

One time, I was part of the Dune trial (based on the book Dune whereas we decide if Paul Atredies is bad for society) for the Science Fiction literature class as the Baron Harkonnen's slave boy. This meant stripping down to tightie-whities and having all sorts of food eaten by/with/on me. The last straw was when the guy playing the Baron licked Taco Bell mild sauce off my nipple. I got kicked out afterwards.

WRONG WORD

Edit to actually add, you know, substance to this post:

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.

This is instantly reversed every time I strap a guitar to my shoulders, though. When I am playing a really awesome song I will jump around really energetically and have a really good time.

Despite having been attacked by dogs multiple times in my life, I am not afraid of dogs. There are a number of things that I really like that I have worried I'll become afraid of due to a bad experience (eg. one time while throwing up from food poisoning my main thought was "oh man I hope I do not come out of this hating lobster") but fortunately I seem to be immune to that sort of psychological hangup. I mean, I have plenty of other psychological hangups that seem to appear out of the blue, but none that can be traced to a specific bad experience.

I guess that there's a strange thing you probably don't know about me: I have been attacked by dogs multiple times in my life.

I have never had chicken pox or the flu, but did have many many cases of strep throat when I was a kid.

I have given myself a concussion due to my own clumsiness. Yes, that means I tripped over my feet and knocked myself out.

I have never been able to do a cartwheel.

I babysat once when I was about 13 and vowed never to do it again.

I have three spleens! When I got an ultrasound to try and discover the cause of my mysterious stabbing pains (that still trouble me greatly after 3 years) it was discovered I have one grown up spleen and two baby spleens!

me too! when i was a little tiny kid there was a scary family down the street from me who had a massive mean german shepherd they would just leave outside to hang out around their house. one time while i was outside he ran down the street right at me and jumped on me and ripped a big bloody hole down my arm and there was a lot of screaming and crying and shots and lawsuit threats involved. normally stuff like this traumatizes the hell out of me but i still really love dogs! no matter what, i only ever think about how cute they are and how much i want to be surrounded by dogs.

i don't like cats, though, even though i haven't had any bad experiences with them. so maybe i'm just a racist. or a specist?
