just how weird are you?

[Smiles]

you guys are a bunch of freaks...


I don't like talking about myself...

I can't think of anything in particular that makes me wierd, but I can't watch odd numbered TV channels, although I don't really watch that much TV anyway, I usually sleep around 12 hours every night, and I usually end all my sentences with three dots...

 

[owenstine]

Extreme insomnia. Especially when I have a test the next day.
Most of the characteristics that the K-Man mentioned.
I love me some Anime Cat Girl. xD.
Slightly sociopathic. Wanna see the back of my van? xD
Split Personality.
Sexually atracted to anything with boobs wearing fishnet over-clothing

The list goes on. :3 If you want more details, gimme a PM. Im always up for chatting.

I'm 210 lb, and 6'2" or so, nothing in contrast to any of the people in high physical percentiles. (Or my brother, who is 6'5" 180 lb or so, is double jointed with long fingers and looks malnourished) So that's not too weird. I can, however, bend double forward far enough to put both feet behind my head (as a kid, I bit my fingernails AND toenails. Glee!)

I have one infini-crack joint as mentioned by others, and my favorite physical abnormality is the fold in the upper corner of each ear which makes it seem slightly pointed. I also have stress related tics in my eyelid from time to time, and a very high pain tolerence and endurance. As to things non-physical, I'm obsessive while having a short attention span (figure THAT out), an Anglophile from The Kinks all the way to Keeping up Appearances, and fond of psychedelic rock (Syd Barret Pink Floyd, Chocolate Watchband, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Electric Prunes, The Nazz, and so on.) H.P. Lovecraft is enough to cause most people I know to raise an eyebrow when referenced, so naturally it's on my list of Bizarre Things That Are Really Rather Neat like werewolves, classic myth, webcomics...

My study habits are atrocious, mainly due to anxiety problems and subsequent procrastination, so in some respects, sucks to be me. However, at 22 I'm probably one of the youngest experts on Series Land Rovers in the US and have built one (yay!) due to being a more-or-less competent mechanic. I'd delve into detail on other interests and humor, but suffice to say like most here I'm likely the weirdest person they know (in person). Minimal Spanish vocabulary, and 4 semesters of college Germanround out the picture

High visual and reading comprehension skills mixed with poor socials skills, inability to recall names, empathize, probably hint at some type of high-functioning Asperger's, what with some family background there. Usual geek skillset; computers, games, circuit analysis, machine building (not stereotype as much), encyclopedic memory on trivia... This combined with a light complexion and resulting tendency to burn leaves me open to legions of geek jokes, but few ever come, oddly. I have a long list of other odd things, but most of them are circumstance related and not about me per se, like the 5 months I spent in South Korea near lepers.
EDIT: Oh yes, I too have a phone-phobia. And I likes me some guns and guitars, despite being quiet and asexual in tendencies enough some people are likely sure I'm gay.

At this moment, I am not wearing any pants. I think that probably counts under "Weird"...

Nonsense, while I haven't posted naked on this forum (as much, anymore, as I did, SHUTUP) I do watch Zero Punctuation fresh out of the shower sometimes.

I was permanently traumatized by Doctor Who and Star Trek as a kid to the point of having a kink toward body horror later in life, but that can't be weird, can it?

 

[Kogarian]

I usually end all my sentences with three dots...

You do that too? I don't do it with questions, but with everything else I do...

 

[tubadude123]

Every day for the past three years I have woken up and gone to sleep feeling like in about a second I'm going to puke. I've gone to doctors who have run several tests, but all have come back with nothing.
I can also not physically show anger, I can feel it inside, but as soon as I try to show it something happens and another emotion comes up on my face.

 

[fyrh56]

I'm 6'8" and about 250lbs. This wouldn't be too weird if it wasn't for the fact that i'm portuguese and the average height around here is about 4'8". I'm afraid of heights and i'm clumsy. Falling-at-least-2-times-a-day clumsy which, being i tall, isn't the very best of setups. I've broken virtually every bone on my body (including one vertebrae) even tho i have no calcium or magnesium deficit.
It takes me nearly about a month to grow a 1 inch "beard", whereas chest hair just grows way too fucking much.
I'm tritanope colour blind, basically meaning i can't tell blue from yellow. Found that out because on an activities class when i was a kid, they told me to hold the blue wire, else i might get shocked. I got shocked. Twice.

 

[ThaBenMan]

Hmmm, the only weird things about myself that I can think of are -

I don't like to put milk on my cereal, but I have some in a glass on the side

I hate to sit on toilet seats, so when going #2 I put it up

You should be able to declare yourself king. LOL

If you're clumsy, you definitely should be afraid of heights.

Does that affect you in games?

To the eye thing, I don't think it's possible for it to pop out and "dangle" It's connected by a whole lot of human wiring which is built up of nerves and muscles so i doubt it would go very far it it popped out, it could and it would be painful, but it wouldn't be "dangling".

I *think* he specifically used the word "dangling" or maybe "laying" on her cheek - I can't quantify the extent of the dangling, maybe it just laid on her cheek just beyond the socket. I was seriously cringing so I may have the wording wrong. If I understood him properly the eye being outside its socket wasn't particularly painful, although the blow itself was quite painful, and her vision was weird until the eye was put back in its socket. The impact, the weird vision, and most of all the reaction of everyone else around her made her freak out. I freaked out just hearing the story, so I didn't get a lot of details. (More than I wanted, but not alot.)

Physical: I can eat whatever I want and my shape doesn't change at all. I have good posture (this is weird in the circles I travel in). I'm more sensitive on one side of my neck than the other. Everyone in my family gets horrible headaches, and I only rarely get the most gentle.

Mental: I think on about four different levels (to specify, this is at the same time), and things are constantly reminding me of other things at a breakneck pace.

Other: I have this curse/skill of song sensitivity, and paired with my wide knowledge of music, I can hear 1 second of a song I've only heard once before and know what it is and who it's by. I'll often be talking with someone, convulse a bit, then explain it's because I hate the song that's playing. The most common response is 'what song?' until they listen closer, and then they won't recognize it anyway.

I got this from my dad probably, but I only get out of bed if the time is a multiple of five.

I don't know quite how to describe it, but I'll look at a word or image and move my index finger as if I was writing or outlining it on the spot. Sometimes I'll do it with my foot too. It's not really a quirk as much as something I do when I don't need to focus too hard on what I'm doing.

 

[jim_doki]

ok, im 23 years old to start with:
My handwriting is on par legibility wise with your average kindergartener or doctor
I have two kidneys, one working at nearly 200% as the other is pathetic and nearly dead
I have hyperactive earwax glands
in spite, or perhaps because of the above reason, i have spectacular balance

 

[marfoir(IRL)]

Is it weird that I have watched every cutscene and listened to every codec conversation in MGS 2&3 and actually enjoyed(perhaps too strong but I definately wasn't bored) watching and listening to them?

 

[aussiesniper]

My handwriting is the worst that I know of, and I have actually forgotten how to "print" in everything but capitals.

my mind remembers everything that I take interest in, but not remember anything of actual importance. besides this, I cannot do well in a test unless I have a large quantity of caffeine/sugar beforehand.

I have slow reflexes in just about everything but FPS gaming.

I have an incredibly slow metabolic rate, so much so that I can go a week without eating lunch/breakfast and come out as overweight as I was before.

Those apply to me as well, but you can add "unimportant stuff" as well to the "what I remember" list.
Example: The "That's Why They Call Them Slurpees" strip is #7 in the One-Liners(web-comic) archive. That is completely unimportant and does me no good at all, but I can barely remember things that have to do with school or anything important for that matter.

Edit:
I also have a really really short attention span.

 

[Voodoo Child]

I can crack both my wrists endlessly. I've had doctors look at it, they say its perfectly healthy, and I can continue to do it. I can just make these two grinding sounds at will. Its a neat party trick

I can do the same with the knuckles on both hands, and one of my big toes... Really disturbs people when I do it.

My thumbs make snappy noises when I wake. Other than that and being gay, I'm depressingly (to me) normal.
