Tell Me Something Weird or Interesting About Yourself!

I will start. I have a photographic memory, but only for words and how they're spelled.

I have this OCD thing when I put down a mug or cup in which I pick it back up and re-place it on the table. I do it 2 or 3 times until the spot feels right!

I suck at math.

Your turn. What is interesting, odd, or nifty about you?

    I'm ambidextrous. I played baseball up until my 2nd year of college, and this skill helped a lot.

    I also have Synesthesia. In my case I can smell numbers. 37 smells the best. Like citrus. Don't ask me why.

      I have never heard of that before. Makes me wonder if a winning lottery ticket would smell like fruit punch?

        I think it probably smells more like salty ocean water....because if that happens I'll be on my yacht.

    When I look at short written phrases like, "The Secret Internet Break Through!", I instantly know how many letters are in each word without counting them; It's harder after 8 letter words. So I see, 3,6,8,5,7. I think it started as a kid while sitting in church, completely bored out of my mind and playing word games with the bulletin and hymnal.

      I used to do the EXACT same thing.

      My parents got wise to it really quickly though. The blue stickers kept falling off.

        I didn't remove the stickers and replace them, I got out all the little cubes and put them back so it looked like I finished it. That way the stickers don't fall off

        A weird thing about me? Hmm, when I'm in the car (not driving), or bored, and I see text, I'll automatically start "typing" it in my head. You know, using the correct fingersettings and all. I started doing that when I got my first typing lessons and I still do it when I'm bored. Yeah, I'm weird, I have been told that before LOL

          I knew there was a reason I liked you, Leslie. That's the way I used to "solve" the Rubik's Cube as well.

          While I don't type out words in my head, I will try to rearrange them into other words, or see how many smaller words I can make from them.

          All the best,

          After ironing the shirt I'm going to wear for the day, I'll hang it at the back of our door and stare on it for about 15 minutes or more, I don't know why and probably that is the reason why I'm waking up everyday 3hours before my appointments. isn't weird?

    I have a weird issue called "product-idea no-action-itis" I obsessively find and brainstorm product ideas and then don't do anything with it because I get distracted by another idea. Up to about 120 at last count.

    I'm that guy who (in the past) says "Hey! He stole my idea!" when someone else actually did something with it. Poor me.

    Anyone have the cure?

        I always think I am normal but everyone else around me seems weird but apparently No it is just me:p

        For hockey I played goal and I was on the ice prolly 3-5 hrs a day plus I would play any kind of hockey so I would go to the local rink and play duffer hockey anything I could do to get ice time besides it was my sanctuary.

        Got drafted to vancouver which essentially means I was sent an invitation to real tryouts not rookie camp that was pretty cool but I was not smart enough to keep my temper and so at the time of camp I was in jail. I did however phone when I got out-pat quinn truly appreciated that :rolleyes:

        I was told in no uncertain terms I was not their material

        Oddly enough, I distinctly remember the first time I snapped my fingers. I was little and had been trying for a long time and then one night I SNAPPED real hard and made this awesome popping sound. I was so excited that I ran to my dad and showed him hahaha.

    Long list. I'm just "too" weird. But the most weirdest facts about me

    I'm a stay in the shadows, quite person by nature and this is really weird for me. Anytime i'm in a group/crowd over 10 people and I start talking, even in a low voice everyone stops talking and starts listening to what I'm saying.

    I was in a gathering/lecture with over 250 students and everyone was chattering away but as soon as I started talking to a couple of my friends the whole room, one by one, fell silent. This has happened like 8 or 9 times. It makes me unbelievably self conscious! :/

    Oh and I have the weirdest laugh, can't whistle or snap my fingers, I have a photographic memory (but I need a visual indicator to set it off) and I cannot dance. :/

    Beat that?

        My brother and I only had the same dream for a few seconds, you can more accurately describe it as a dream segment.

        I asked my brother a few years ago if he remembered it, and he did not. So it is highly likely I remember something that did not happen. If find that pretty f'n weird :rolleyes:

    It took me three tries to pass my behind-the-wheel test for my driver's license. And the 3rd time the guy just felt sorry for me.

    He said, "Well, you didn't really pass, but I think you just need more practice. And the only way you'll get that is if you have a license."

    To which I repled, "Okay."

    But, now I'm a very safe driver and when I go out with friends,they tend to want me to drive.

    Well I don't think of myself as weird, but I joined eHarmony, and after a year they still haven't come up with a single match on the same continent as me!

    My mother told me I was an eccentric. When I asked what could possibly make her think that, she told me that she had thought that ever since I got thrown out of school, then took my books back, and actually rode my horse into the school to deliver them.

    That was over, well many, many years ago now.

    She accused me of being a misogynist too. After three divorces who wouldn't be?

    She said my sister was normal. Mmm... then is that a synonym for boring?

      I think it's more likely that everyone is weird, including you (and me)!

      How many people have you let search for these mystery places?

      Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      That's so hardcore!

      As for my weirdness, it's not really WEIRD per se, but I'm so good at DDR that it's replaced my cardio at the gym. (And yes, by "DDR" I am referring to that 4-panel dancing game Dance Dance Revolution.)

      I still have friends though

      I have a YouTube channel for em too haha, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/sirtom06

    I have a speech impediment, so every time I'm going to have to say my name, I spend a few minutes practicing my "Z". It's kind of hilarious to listen to.

      It's good to have a sense of humor about these things. It must be tough when it's your own name. I have speech issues myself. I find they can be sort of corrected (or is the word, "cloaked"?), but never completely go away.

        I refuse to take myself too seriously. It's especially important to laugh at what's wrong with you. :p

    Ok, Let me think...

    I can wiggle my ears independantly. Useful eh?

      Now get to raising your eyebrows independently.

      I've found that just wiggling ears (one, the other or both) totally disconcerts people. Wiggle one, when they focus on that, wiggle the other, when they switch focus, do both.

      Then, when they give you a weird look, raise (just one) eyebrow.

        I'm so glad to have come across this forum site. I enjoy all aspects of bathroom interior design ideas and outdoor activities such mountain climbing.

        The sole of my feet are flat. I just find them weird .lol.

        My baby does that. I can't. My father could (my brother lists this as evidence that my baby is a reincarnation of our father).

        About me:

        Something stupid:
        I can lift my left eyebrow independently. The right one just don't want to get lifted

        Something Interesting:
        I am the only bilingual in my very large family. They all call me "gringo" (sometimes)

        Something weird:
        I sometimes close my eyes and imagine I am a singer or a football player, acclaimed by thousands of fans. Probably I need a psychiatrist

        Something WONDERFUL!!!!
        I am a father of 3 at the age of 26. My twins were born 3 years ago, and the little baby is just 10 months old.
