Most of my issues are vague/auto-immune style symptoms that leave the doctors shrugging and saying "Gosh there's obviously something wrong, but what?".

There's a possibility I just have shit-poor gastro-intestinal health and thus terrible nutrient/vitamin absorption, but you'd think that would've shown up in my blood work by now.
I would recommend you daily dosis of bee's propolis and pollen, the worst you can get from that is better nutrition, healthier GI tract and as you can see here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propolis ) it has a lot of potential as an immunomodulator and anticancerigen ammong others, so chances of helping are very high.

Be wary of where and what you buy, a lot of propolis have EXTREMELY LOW dosages (something around 1% to 3%).

Also, is that the reason for bloated guppy?!

OT: Humm... well:

- Was virgin till 26

- Bought a car before learning to drive

- Was into poetry contests in japanese and spanish

- Tought maths on the street as a performance

- Love my hitbox! ( http://www.hitboxarcade.com/ )

- Self taught oratory (mainly by reading most Cicero works and practicing) and singing skills

- Have zero close male friends, all girls...

- Got 2 sisters at 28 due my father remarriage, one of them thinks i want to sleep with her... yuck

Dunno, some stuff.

Apparently I burp really weird according to my girlfriend.

I occasionally talk to myself...Especially in the shower for some reason.

Oh and when I'm falling asleep my entire body twitches and spasms like I'm being electrocuted.

All that is coming to mind right now is that when I get bacon that isn't crispy, I will usually peel off the fat and just eat the meat. This got some really weird reactions once, and someone on a boy scout trip with me asked if they could have the fat. The rest of my crazy tends to be OCD related I think, and isn't noticeable enough to others to get weird reactions.

All my friends think the way I eat pizza pops is weird. I cut them in half with a knife, then scoop out all the filling and eat it separately. After that I eat the dough all by itself, I don't like eating them like a "normal" person because it can get kinda messy and is usually really hot.

That's it about me though

I wear wigs for costumes. According to a work acquaintance that makes me a freak.
According to another work acquaintance the fact that I don't shave my legs makes me a freak. I didn't know I had to regularly attack my legs with blades for...whose enjoyment exactly? I wear leggings and tights a lot so no one gets to see them anyway :I

I have depression and I'm not ashamed of it - some of the time, most of the time I find myself cowering in fear from other people, but people find it weird that I have it and weirder that I'm not completely ashamed of it. Dude it's a problem with the chemical balance in my brain, it's not my fault unless you can blame me for my genes.

I like anime and manga, even in university it's still considered weird. And I eat ice too, mainly freshly fallen (clean) snow when it's available.

I'm asexual and don't want to ever become pregnant and I always wear pants (British pants, that is) even when the rest of me is naked for a hot evening in bed.

I think that's all, I'll probably think of some more.
British Pants?

Hmm as for me being in Los Angeles several things mark me as odd. 1. I don't drink alcohol or do illegal drugs. 2. I use my signal lights in my car even when I am pulling out of a driveway or parking lot. 3. I am very nice and courteous to everyone especially retail and food workers. 4. I hate pretty much all popular music and most anything thats hip or in at the time. I have my own style and I dont give a rats ass if someone doesn't like it.

So for example, I'll be all like, "I'm makin' tea, makin' tea, can't you see? I'm makin' tea!" all with a jolly good tune.
You sound awesome to live with lol.

I wear a black leathr jacket almost every day no matter the season...including the dead heat of summer.
Oh did I mention that I live in central texas? So its actually "jacket weather" usually like 3 months of the year at best. There is a reason of course, its my utility jacket. Pockes for my phone, wallet, mp3 player,spare batarang, book,tic tacs, headphones and a few other things.

information whoring. i must tell everyone everything i know and i must know everything about everyone even if they dont know it themselves. there are games where the mechanics (to the level of hit damage formulas mind you) are more interesting than the game itself.
i also tend to overanalyze and then simplify everything.

if you ever want to wake me up just play the windows logon sound. i will be instantly awake and ready to use computer. even if someone else is doing it.

i am obsessed with future technology and wish i could have it. ironically i actually tend to use ancient technology and methods (i would do bookmarks with pen and paper!)

I hate touching most foods with my fingers or hands... To that end, where possible I will eat with a knife and fork. Including: Chips, Hot Dogs, Burgers, Pizza, Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Wings and things you dip.

This applies doubly to anything covered in flour or grease... or anything else that leaves stuff on your fingers!

Also... crisps that leave dust!! Which is strange as I LOVE CRISPS! (For instance I love the taste of Watsits, but never choose to eat them for this reason!)
how does oen use a fork for chips? wouldnt it just fall apart before you get to pick it up. i do hate to touch food too, but i often sacrifice that because fingers > forks.
Though anything covered in grease and you can forget it.

I eat whats tasty and not whats healthy. apperently thats wierd.

I could sit in front of PC for 16 hours straight and i wouldnt get tired, ny eyes wouldnt ache nor i would be unconfortable sitting there. apperently you must have all three of those symptoms here if you want to be considered normal.

I dont dance. ever. i would stand in a nightclub and not dance. i lost friends over this.

I would much rather walk everywhere as opposed to taking the bus or going by car, no matter what the weather. I didn't think it was all that strange, but the people I work with beg to differ.

Oh you American English Speaking nations... You do make me laugh! :p

English..........................US butchered spanglish
Chips.............................Fries
Crisps...........................Chips
Biscuits.........................Cookies
Pavement......................Sidewalk
Carpark..........................Parking Lot
Aluminium......................Aluminum
Undrinkable Rats' Piss....Beer
Beer..............................(No alternative) (Although considering your nationality you may have good beer... I can't say I have tried Lithuanian beer though! :p)

I jest fella... but I did mean what you probably call French Fries, or fries over there... Don't know why many European countries learn American and not English considering the proximity, but I imagine it's something to do with the damn media and TV! :/

This grips me... and it's not a slight at you, but it is a word that is commonly mis-defined! An introvert is someone who gains their motivation and "energies" from within themselves. A byproduct of this manner can be spending extended periods by oneself, however, it is not always the case.

I have done multiple personality tests as part of my vetting and my job, and always come out as highly introverted. When people see this they always assume this means I like to sit in my room in the evenings entertaining myself... and that is not the case. I am very social, and enjoy spending time in the bar with colleages. The difference however comes from why I do it, not whether or not I behave in that way. I go because I want to spend time with them, and because I want to be part of the team. An extrovert (most of my colleagues) go because not having the rest of us around makes them uncomfortable, and they feel better in an environment where they can be pushed by us. I don't need to be pushed by colleages, but will do what I feel I want to do at that point from a different, internally held set of criteria...

It's a slight difference, but one that needs addressing to avoid unnessescary stereotypes and incorrect assumptions on a persons character.

Yeah, the terms: Neurotic, Shy and Introvert are often mistaken for each other and used incorrectly!
One can easily be a shy extrovert, or like me a Neurotic, Shy Introvert that is also Paranoid

Play games that aren't GTA V or COD:BLOPS II. Hell, I mention Saints Row and my co-workers give me blank stares. I don't even bothering mentioning more obscure games like Spec Ops: The Line or adventure games.

I read novels and history books. For fun, even.

I don't care about any sports or sports teams at all. I've met numerous people who repeatedly fail to grasp this concept.

I don't enjoy parties. I've tried. I've really tried. I've let people drag me to parties to humor then but after I've eaten enough and a drink or two and made some small talk, I'm done. Like within an hour. And then I leave because I'm bored out of my fucking skull. Or I stick around for the sake of someone else and then I'm even more bored because I've long since lost interest.

No, I know what an introvert is.

If I spend an entire day with an extended group of people I have to go home and play a nice campaign of Shogun 2 or a session of Saints Row IV.

Also I don't think that I could ever be able to spend more than 6 hours at a convention(and at 6 hours, I just could not do anything, I would have to go and read a book or watch a bad movie or something).

EDIT: I forgot to add the qualifying statement that I am not the misinformed version of an introvert, but the real one, anyway, despite being absolutely exhausted after a convention, I still genuinely enjoy the sense of community it brings and the fact that I am part of something.

Don't forget the juice
Cause I'm watching "Footloose"


(No wonder I like Regular Show so much...)

OT (like I wasn't already?): I don't walk to places, per se... I dance there based on whatever song is playing on my Ipod at the time? Rap? "Act gangster (even if the rap's not ganster-related)!" Rock? "Play that electric guitar, black man!" Anime-related? "...Go fucking nuts!!"

I eat a lot of ice. I will go to the kitchen and fill a giant tumbler with nothing but ice, dribble a little something over it for flavor, and just sit there sucking/crunching it happily for hours. Soft drink at a restaurant? Fill that cup with ice first. They fill it half full and say "like this"? No, right to the brim, please. And just dribble a little pop on it for flavor.

I get some weird looks.
Go to the Doctor. I like eating ice, but explicitly looking for it and being what you consume in drink in restourants, as you may have pica. PIca, as in a medical conditions where people eat things that they shouldn't be eating (or at least not in large cuantitites) and that may signal some difficiencies in nutrition or toher problems.

OT: I talk to myself, sing along songs and depending in the say, I have crippling arachnophobia that may make me stare directly into the spider untill I can leave the room, completely ignoring everything else.
