Well, what do you know, I think about the same damn things. It's amazing what such an analytical mind can do for you, huh? Makes me a pain to the friends I play airsoft and lasertag with.Redlin5 said:

When I was a baby I feel off a bridge and had a huge gash running across my forehead. Thankfully I lived.
I'm awesome at bullshitting through essay tests and papers and I can usually get them done in about half the time as other people. The only things I'm OCD about are my books (I have some that are 7 years old and look new). I will take any opportunity I get to dress in a costume; Halloween, cosplay, Renaissance Festival, whatever. I can talk to people so easily its like second nature, but I hate being around people.
Every song on my iPod is video game related in one way or another.
In almost every class, I am almost always the only one who knows the answer and/or bothers to answer.
I fall asleep to heavy metal a lot easier than any other style of music. I have no idea why.
I am a massive comic book nerd, despite never having read a full comic book in my life (I have read manga, though).
My friends call me an Asian in a white guy's body because I'm good at Maths, play piano, do martial arts, have a very Asian taste in video games, eat Asian food with chopsticks, listen to Asian music and I always argue that I should pay for something that someone else is trying to buy me.

I can dislocate and relocate several of my joints with little to no pain. It creeps out my co-workers.
Also, I got the shit end of the genetic stick in my family, I'm colorblind, have tremors, near- sighted to the point of needing glasses to do anything but read a book, and lactose intolerant.
Lot's of fun to be had with those though.

I once entered Army Initial Entry Training (aka boot camp). While I was there, I came within two shots of qualifying for the Expert marksmanship badge with the M16A2. Also, on my first trip to a civilian gun range to practice with handguns, I scored well enough to qualify for a concealed-carry license.
I have dislocated my shoulders three times (right shoulder: twice, left shoulder: once). Each time I forced the joint back into its socket myself.

I don't have anything that interesting however I do have a lot of fairly mundane facts about my life.
I have type 1 Diabetes.
I have been told I have an Irish accent and I have been told I have an American accent even though I have lived in Australia all my life.
I'm in a brass band and have been for three years.
I was onced asked if I was Jewish (Which I'm not, Agnostic if you must know).
I play Tuba (I used to play Saxaphone however I quit seeing as I hated my teacher).
I hate it when I find something and tell nobody about it then somebody else finds it and takes credit for discovering it.
I like listening to both Metal and Rock.
I love Ghost Drops, they are the most delicious sugary death that you could ever imagine eating.
I almost won a checkers tournament in grade four I had managed to beat some grade sixes while doing so however seeing as there was a odd number of people a teacher had to fill in and the final was Me Vs Him, he won which was kinda cheap seeing as he also took the prize (A block of chocolate).
I have two dogs and I used to have Axolotls (Mexican Walking fish).
I wear Glasses.
I bike ride and take my dogs for walks everyday and have done so for the past year.

I have an identical twin brother.
I am a 10 year law enforcement veteran (police dept, jailer, deputy sheriff dept in that order)
I am going to start being a part time professor for a local community college in their Criminal Justice and Psychology departments. I'll be teaching two classes: 'Interview and Interrogation Techniques' and'Juvenile Justice.' edit: Forgot they changed that the other class is 'Community Relations' This greatly irritates my fellow detectives because I have a Master's Degree and most of them have high school diplomas.
For the last 3 years I've been on the board of directors for a local gaming/comic convention. I won't be anymore due to the above mentioned professor gig.
I'm in the music video for 'one armed scissor' for about two seconds because my band opened for At The Drive-In in the long long ago. (they hadn't even preformed that particular song at the time)
edit: Actually, now that I think of it that could just as easily by my twin brother. It's kind of grainy footage.
I've been to Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, China, Egypt, Taiwan, and Russia (well for like three hours, we pretty much flew thru it) I went with a good friend of mine and my twin brother. People in China really wanted pictures of me and my twin Brother. Like, they would take pictures without asking in several places this happened.
My father and my uncle are two of something like less than 20 people in America that speak a Sami language.
Apparently, I can also talk about myself at length.
You should take my class next spring!

I used to be a nun. An honest-to-goodness, real nun with the habit and everything. During which time I shaved my head, lived in silence, practiced poverty, chastity and obedience, and never left the convent.
I was also really crap at it, and got kicked out for being a disturbance and being mentally unstable after 2 years.

I'm a 2nd degree black belt and certified CMAF instructor for Taekwondo, am told I'm quite charming with dreamy eyes, I've been in 5 fights, all of which I've won, was class valedictorian and historian, and wake up every day hoping that it'll be the day I discover my hidden mutant power
I've driven from the top of New Zealand to the bottom of New Zealand in one 29 hour sitting. Also, on my 21st birthday I did a yard glass, 21 shots, a keg stand and a funnel. From there I spent the next 15 minutes bending over and vomiting on my shoes.
I used to be thin, and have long hair (as pictured) making it difficult for some people to tell. Nowadays I cut a more masculine figure, but other truck drivers often mistake me for a woman. Then they do assinine things like slow down to check me out, or call me on the radio. I have a deep voice, so my reply startles them. The idiots should be watching the damn road. I might find it entertaining if we weren't talking about 80,000 pound vehicles.xmbts said:
A huge branch fell off a tree a month ago. I'm determined to carve it into a longsword - eventually. I know I *could* do it, so long as the oak isn't too knotty. I found a great PDF file on the net and will use it to teach myself swordplay. While I was swimming as a young man, my ambition leaked out of my ears and into the water. The fish are doing quite well. Me, not so much.
I talk to myself. That's fine, but lately its devolved into declarative ranting. Probably not healthy.
My memories aren't my memories anymore. I will clearly recall an event, but mis-remember it. For example the memory will be of me making a mistake or failing to do something, when I actually did get it right the first time. I find this disconcerting. I would try not to lose sleep over it, but I've always had insomnia, so its already too late. Maybe I can decide that I did already lose that sleep and go on with my life?
Edit: I can rebuild a 1960-70's carburetor. I can do a fair job at computer and network maintenance and repair. I can scrawl a whole page of *legible* notes without looking at the page while I write. [Yes, I've had far too many classes.] I can stay up late for hours and hours doing silly things like write inconsequential messages in forumses.
Oh crap. What time is it?
