I'm an outcast of my own culture (both Australian and Indian). I am incredibly lazy, but know that I have to work (which works, 'cos I'm pretty smart). I'm also incredibly scrawny, so this puts me in a disadvantage, along with my shyness. Supposedly, I'm good with people, yet think most of them are idiots, but, since I'm piss weak, I don't say it to their face(s). Yeh, I'm a bit weird. Oh, and OP, being a vampire is pretty cool.

I have a fear of committment: usually I'll join something, like a club, and then regret it because it's not what I expected it to be.

I'm overly sentimental. I get into angry wall-punching mode when I go for a week or so without seeing my friends after school, and I get jogging-back-and-forth happy when I get the chance to do something with a few friends.

I have flat feet, meaning my feet are prone to blisters and callouses. Now for your Average Joe, this might not be such a bad thing, but I make it a habit of going for walks about every day for about an hour or so (or jog if the weather is good). And I walk pretty damn fast. Ironically I run rather slow.

There are a few fast food restaurants right across from my school. But when I need to buy food and I'm at school, I walk to the grocery store 15 minutes away (20-25 for people who walk slower than me, which is about everyone) and buy a loaf of bread and a bottle of V8 (14 slices of bread for $3 vs 1 bagel for $1? No contest.).

Im weak, but not always. Once I, who doesnt like to carry sixpacks, had no trouble sliding a cement filled tire (edge of a beach vollyball thing) through the sand. Granted it was sliding, but thats way over th etop for me. Dont know how i did it to this day.

Also a masochist, but thats not very weird. Their are other weirder things too about me in a similar vain but i cant get away with discousing those in public, i dont think. Perhaps someone could point me to the rules of this forum.

Im also a powerful social manipulator. I can get along with a lot of groups of people (it so happens on a campus, for those of you over thirty, that people will often "hang" with groups of like individuals). These groups often fail to get along with each-other however. I can make people feel horrid or get them to tell me things without much effort (actualy, the latter doesnt require ANY effort and can cause complications) and i can control my expression of emotion well (but only if im face to face. Thus I dislike phones and interwebs)

Not terribly weird but when you pile them up it starts to add.

I am weird, in that the more people know about me, the stranger they think I am. I should really learn to keep my mouth shut in public. And yet, my life seems to me to be very boring and ordinary in a sort of sad way.

I understand the other things, but what would cause one's canines to be so long?

Anyhow, about me.
I fear being violently insane for reasons not of my own doing.
And considering certain personal things, its not entirely unfounded.
~~~
At the same time, however, I am an extreme empath. After most humanities classes, I cry. When someone diabetic faints, I freat my heart out. Dispite this, however, I do not freak out in real-life situations until the danger is out of the way.
I guess that fear makes me try to be the exact opposite: nurturing, kind, and sort of motherly. {with a good sprinkle of femenism, too. ;) }
~~~
There are a few other things, most of which I shall refrain from stating so that I may maintain my credibility.

I am obscenely uninteresting. I don't smoke, I don't drink (alcohol, coffee, tea, etc.), I don't do drugs, I've had all of zero girlfriends, I missed almost every piece of pop culture before the 90's. And all this at 19 years of age. Perhaps the weirdest thing about me is the extent to which I wish I was weirder. I often wish there was something freakishly wrong with me, usually so my bouts of self-pity would no longer be baseless, but no luck so far.

I'm about as vanilla as the ice-cream flavour. Thanks everyone for reminding me how boring I am.

I feel downright normal now. Only weird thing about me is my internal clock is really screwey (side effect of thyroid cancer.) And my natural vision is 20/200 - the old system, meaning that I can resolve at 20 feet what a normal person can resolve at 200 feet - but that's corrected by contacts to a large extent. That made things REALLY interesting when I played baseball (before contacts), since I could only see the ball in a night game about 10 or 20 feet. So I took some shots to the head whilst batting. (Hey, you get a free base and a good excuse for weird behavior. And it could explain some things...) I was a catcher, the only one in our league to be a little scrawny kid. That's weird I guess, but it worked out because lots of guys (and their coaches) would assume they could run over me. And I could knock the fool out of a runner if I had time to get set up. Of course, if I didn't have time to get set up I got my narrow ass rolled, but that's okay too, no worse than football.

I've done a lot of weird things in my life (and thoroughly enjoyed them), but I don't have to do them. So I don't count that.

Ahhh, baseball. Only the chosen few who've played seriously know that it's really a contact sport.

I never think before I speak, which is a problem. I really should have learned by now not to spout out the strange thoughts floating through my head to strangers, but I haven't. I'm also a masochist and have a hard time finding people who really understand that. And I like to sing to my cats (which they like, I swear!). That's about it.

Umm...okay, here's me.

Firstly, I have an immense fear of other people. Like "can't talk in front of more than 2 people" or "go out in public without another person" sort of immense.

I also have a real problem with my memory. I can remember line for line mostly any scene from any movie I watch, or anything I did in any game I played recently, but I can't remember people's names, anything involving school, or what day of the week it is.

Plus, I -Really- like anime style cat girls. I dunno why.

Lastly, I am a weekend /b/tard (nuff said...)

The thing that wierds me out is that I'm not even half as...odd... as my friends.

speaking of vampires, my upper canines are about a quarter inch longer than the rest of my teeth and all 4 of my canines are triangular shaped. =P

i get sick on average once every 2 years and when i do it's usually over the next day. i'm left-handed, i'm missing a front tooth simply because there was no adult tooth to grow in, and my sternum sticks out a bit.

I hate, hate, hate the taste of alcohol or anything with alcohol in it.

I smoke, a LOT. Love it and don't want to quit, but I also don't want anyone else to smoke, ever.

I love the idea of hard work, but hate actually doing anything.

This final one is hard to explain, but I have this weird "two-week" fear/anxiety. Two weeks into anything (relationships/jobs/university classes/volunteer stuff), I get this feeling of dread or severe uncertainty. Like I'm not supposed to be there, like I'm wasting my time, or like I know whatever I'm doing isn't going to make me happy. The strangest thing is that if I get through the first two-weeks of anything, I'll sail through the rest as happy as can be. I've finally realized I have this problem, so I can usually remind myself that the feeling will pass, but I have quit some good jobs and dropped out of good classes in the past. It means I have a really spotty education/work history.

I work with a man who coaches girls' softball. One of his girls took a line drive to the face and her eye popped out of socket, just dangling on her cheek. He was complaining that everyone was freaking out instead of popping her eye back into its socket. I told him I was pretty sure freaking out was in fact the recommended and proper reaction to an eye coming out of its socket. And I'm pretty sure that there's a law or something that any eyeball outside of its socket should only be handled by trained medical professionals. Freaks me out just thinking about it.

I didn't know eyes could be knocked out of their sockets, or that you could just pop it back in. If I had known that was a possibility I'd probably never have played baseball.

Preach it Brother.

I'm just on the low end of pigmentation and have thermal epilepsy. Quite normal compared to some of you guys.

The music on my iPod includes, but is by no means limited to: Queen, Bach, Weird Al, Daft Punk, Green Day, and Pink Floyd.

I read so much as a child that I absorbed the rules of English spelling and can now spell pretty much any word (excepting loanwords) perfectly even if I've never actually heard it before. Come to think of it, I tend to absorb that kind of syntactic rules instinctively in general; I've also learned to identify whether people are worth talking to based on how they write (I'm not being elitist, just saying that there are certain hallmarks that tell a lot about a person) -- although there have been a couple of notable exceptions -- and I don't think I've ever accidentally ended up reading a bad fanfic if I had the opportunity to see an author-written summary.

I need to either think out loud or write my thoughts down to make them clear rather than jumbled and repetitious.

My eyes are weird; they look different in different lights (at least, I think that's it, rather than the pigment actually changing) and I can never be sure if they're really blue, green or grey.

I use a mishmash of British and American English grammar and spelling, partly because I'm Canadian and partly because I'm an Anglophile and enjoy affecting British turns of phrase (although I'd stop short of putting on a British accent or totally converting to British English, because that seems too pretentious).

I catch a ton of colds, but virtually never come down with anything worse than that.

My sleep cycle is approximately 26 hours long; I don't go to bed or get up at a remotely consistent time. I also seem to be nocturnal even if you account for the length difference. For reasons unknown but probably related, I also nearly always get tired again about three hours (although it can sometimes fall anywhere from two to five) after waking up.

I have a mental age that is quite literally older than my chronological age, and have been this way for most if not all of my life; when I was 9-12 I acted like I was closer to 14-17 (with the ends of each age range matching up, that is), and now that I'm sixteen I behave and think like a twentysomething. I also learned how to correctly use a semicolon when I was about eleven.

I can't do this kind of thing on purpose or else I'd have done something more important with it, but a couple years ago I was alerted to the fact that one of my friends was online while I was lying in bed, half-asleep (I hadn't even opened my eyelids, let alone turned on my monitor), with no way of obtaining this knowledge through normal channels.

I'm asexual. For a while I thought I might be a lesbian, but then I realised that I'd never actually been attracted to a member of either sex (whether local, celebrity or fictional), just had an aesthetic appreciation for their looks.

Well alright. I'm 6'0 220, I'm pretty damn strong, and I'm a very physical person. On the other hand I love playing Video games, I play them quite a lot, and browse the internet frequently. In essence I'm a big strong Texas Nerd, tho that may be an insult too some nerds. I love guns, but I hate FPS. I don't like Mario that much, while I do like Sonic, and yet I have owned every Nintendo console, while I've ignored Sega ones. I don't like racing games but I like Vehicular combat. I hate Cloud only slightly less than I hate every other Final Fantasy hero, Yet I like Sephiroth. I love the Juggernaut, but loathe the Hulk. I Don't think the power to blow up a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the force. I can't decide what Conan movie I like more. The original one had the better story, by far, but the second one had more fighting. The story of the second one sucked really hard, but I don't care enough. Turn based combat does not bother me.

So anyways I'll let you be the judge. How weird am I on a scale of 1-10000.

Well I started smoking cigars when I was fifteen then converted to pipe smoking at the age of 16 which I am suprisingly passionate about. I am very calm, exciting me is very hard.

I was born without a sense of smell, and of course I am highly introverted, I read alot and everyone I meet refer to me as "wise" which is one of the few things if not the only thing that genuinely angers me, I don't react to insults but I prefer them over compliments. I dislike cellphones with a passion, on the few occassions I have been introduced to someone they often say they've heard im evil, this is probably due to the fact that I am relatively rational, at least I think I am, but im also very calm and my facial expression rarely changes.

My eyelids are asymmetrical and I always look like im disapointed in you. I didnt grow up in my native culture but with Monty Python, Black Adder and things of the like leading to my highly mediocre understanding of my native tounge and my sentences consist of half-english half-native tounge which confuses people and makes me sound like a jackass. Im moving to Ireland the first chance I get that's for sure. I don't wear underwear, that's about it.

I have a naturally slow heart rate (around 50bpm resting). Couple that with the fact that I have another heart abnormality that is the equivalent of having a back-up internal pacemaker and it makes me practically unkillable to heart attacks.

I also have looser muscles in my eyes which allow more light in so my night and low light vision is freakishly good. The down side is that I'm more likely to suffer detached retinas from a sharp blow to the head.
