Post a Fun Fact About Yourself

[arsenicCatnip]

-I know parkour, but I can't practice it since I am in an ass-end-of-nowhere town in Illinois.

I am death incarnate for watches, lights, clocks and other miscellaneous small electronics.

Computers don't get fried instantly, but just go slowly insane in a way that seems to baffle just about everyone.

Is your name Harry Dresden? If not, do you practice magic? XD

Sorry, just got done reading the first one for the seventh time, had to ask.

Seems like we have some stuff in common XD

I:

- Live in a 'village' in Illinois after moving from Parker, Colorado last September (we drove roughly 1200 miles in just under 20 hours).
- Read voraciously. I just finished the Dresden Files series all the way through for the second time, and am anxiously awaiting a few books in paperback (Dance of Dragons by Martin, Naamah's Curse by Carey, Pale Demon by Harrison).
- Hate the textures of certain things. I cannot touch newspaper without shuddering...it just feels weeeeird.
- Have an older half-brother (he's nine years older than I) and a younger brother (just under 13 months younger) as well as roughly 60 aunts and uncles and (all of a sudden, I got) 90-some cousins (bonus points for the song reference).
- Love love love love certain Food Network shows, like Chopped, Iron Chef America, Good Eats, and Cupcake Wars. I'm a proud 'home cook', and I'll never be a chef; I still love watching the flash and glamour.

[GuitarSlingingManiac]

-I shadow-box everywhere I go yet I have never been in a fight in my life.
-I was born with holes in both of my ear drums. This causes my ears to pop really easily.
-I have an uncanny ability to know what's wrong with girls without ever knowing them or talking to them before. I guess I just don't care about guys problems?
-When I shave, I look like I'm 13. I hate having a baby-face.
-I stutter like crazy when I'm nervous.
-I've been at or around 195 lbs since I was 16 (give or take like 5 lbs) and I can't seem to gain anymore.
-I've submitted a BJJ black belt without any previous training. Guillotine FTW!
-I love movies that make me depressed after watching them. (The Road is a great example. So is Jacob's Ladder)
- I'm the worst possible person when it comes to talking to girls. I get stupidly nervous and almost passed out on my first date.
-People tend to think I'm an asshole because I don't like to talk but it's just cause I feel that no one really cares about what I have to say.
-One of my fave bands, I know none of what they're saying because they speak a totally different language then me. People can't seem to see why I like them so much. (The Pillows, just in case if you were wondering)

 

[Aurora Firestorm]

- I once burned my hand on a propane torch while setting off fireworks.
- Despite having been slammed on my face on the asphalt, punched in the nose, and having done martial arts for years, I have never broken any bone ever.
- I've never had chickenpox.

 

[blankedboy]

My dad punched a man so he could have me, and I have no clue who my father is.

For my contribution, I would rather be in this situation than mine.

Which is saying almost nothing to a massive deal depending on how you view the situation .-.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I do a lot of the things I do because many people won't.

Talking to strangers, starting conversations, making announcements, asking for help -- I don't want to be with the crowd of people who are afraid to do whatever, I want to be part of the group that's different from everyone else.

Oh, I'm afraid of heights but I absolutely love climbing, bouldering and cave exploring (caves can have pretty bad drops).

 

[Grotch Willis]

I can do a spot on Chewbacca impression.

 

[Kanatatsu]

I've met Prince Charles. Nice guy.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

I'm not a racist.

 

[Sammisaurus]

I don't have a birthmark, so I like to think I was grown in a test tube and will discover my enhanced genetic powers later in life.

 

[SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP]

I spent all of last night watching my new obsession, Invader Zim. I know, it's a kiddy show, but who could resist Gir?

 

[Denamic]

I'm ambidextrous but never realized until I was in 6th or 7th grade.
When I were playing football/soccer in school, I sometimes shot with my left foot, which confused people.

 

[chetoos]

I have never broken a bone in my body, though I did break my brothers leg without intending to
My now over 80 year old grandmother got me into World of Warcraft back in 2008, and I quit last year.
My music library contains songs from Aerosmith, Metallica, Oingo Boingo and David Bowie, along with many others.
My favorite music genre is Psychedelic Rock

[Cleo Cowdrey]

Ok, I have a hylian crest tattoo on my back, i have trained in ballet for 9 years and i can put both my feet behind my head.

 

[OhSnap]

Um... I'm kinda boring.


I'm double jointed in all my fingers, I can dislocate both shoulders and put them back into place and I have primary Raynaud's Phenomenon. The last one sucks because I'm in Canada and it gets a tad chilly around my area.
