Tell us something unusual about you

It may be a skill, a habit, a preference, anything you like.
I'll start off:

I can't stand cold showers, for some reason they make me panic.

Also, caffeine has no effect on me, it even makes me sleepy (it's a genetic trait shared with my father)

  • @Kabatika:

    I HAVE THAT! I just reached over and felt up my husband's nose, because I didn't believe you that everyone else's nose didn't have a ...krinkle? Mine doesn't feel like a krinkle. It's like, my cartilage between my nostrils is a full-on upside down V, and I can squish it to make it go flat.

    I wonder what's up with our noses?

  • @Biohazard:

    I'm so glad to hear that somebody else has this! I wish I could post a picture of it, but I'm sure nobody wants to see up my nose :)  Upside down V is a good description but I can't squish mine to make it go flat...at least not all the way flat! 

    I love that you said 'felt up' my husbands nose, that had me LOLing!

  • Caffeine makes me sleepy as well :) And I'm a pattern freak, I see patterns in everything, an ability I use to do math, strategy and rhythmic games, and drawing, to name a few :)

  • I have %5 vision in my right eye, which makes me almost legally blind. Because of this I have no depth perception which makes me so very clumsy, I have fallen up stairs, and an escalator once too, fallen down stairs and missed every step, and also fell of a computer chair and broke my toe- just to name a few of my clumsiest moments.

    @Kabatika Mine is the opposite, it comes down a little. That I also have my septum pierced has made it a little more pronounced xP

  • - (I said before, but I'm adding more things now): I have 2 extra ribs on my body (one on both sides).- I was born with only one kidney (reason enough for me to not drink alcoholic beverages).
    - I eat with a knife in my right hand and a fork in my left hand because holding them differently makes me impossible to cut things (I'm not left handed).
    - I wake up all of the sudden every 5/7 days a week to turn on the lights of my room for a few seconds...look around, and turn them off again to continue sleeping for a not yet found reason.
    - My parents tested me for AHDH when I was young because I was always full of energy (the result was negative, but I still have difficulties in studying and focusing).
    - I may have Dyscalculia (also called math disability or numlexia) because I find it hard to do most math problems (and I don't know the times table in most cases).
    - A few more things, but I'm keeping them private for personal reasons.

  • My favourite meal is chicken chow mein cooked in a back street Chinese restaurant in the East End of London - no where else cooks it like that on Earth
    I rarely drink alcohol 
    I told Janet Clifton I loved her at school and she laughed at me - then the class laughed at me - then the teacher laughed at me.  I was 12
    i wrote a song called "Janet Clifton" first line went "Janet Clifton youre a bitch i hope you rot you hateful witch"
    i met Janet Clifton when we were in our 20s by chance - we got on famously and i even sung her my song.  i made her pay for the coffees as punishment
    i may not be good at many things but i am an epic cook
    i also genuinely got to elite status on the 1980s space trading game "Elite"
    i wish i got on better with my parents but we are light years apart in opinions and attitude
    i still miss my first pet dog
    i fell in love twice when my kids were born and i love them more each day
    my wife is the most professionally dedicated person ive ever met in my life
    i swore i wouldnt spend stupid amounts of time on games like Glitch......stamina of an insect.
    i love and am inspired by the friends ive made on here ever day - they all have interesting tales and sometimes painful stories and i love that we all support each other.
    and if i had my time again - i know what i would change without hesitation.

  • I lived by the seaside with a pinewoods that looks a bit like groddle when I was a kid. It's only 30 miles from me now, so I can go back any time.
    I've traced my paternal family back to 1765, where the name originates, and some other ancestors back to 1500's. I'm surprised how Enlish I am. All of them hard workers, none of them rich!
    I love crafting, knitting, sewing, cooking. I'd like to give up the day job to do these things full time.
    Glitch is the game I always wanted as a kid, but I'm glad it's here now.

  • Androgyny is fun, so I look a little bit like a more feminine version of Ash from Pokemon.

  • I have the ability to manipulate those around me so much I know just exactly how to say a certain thing at a certain time that may appear insignificant, but from that point on blossoms into exactly what I wanted it to do :P

    Also, I am deathly afraid of insects. From butterflies to spiders

  • Quite an interesting common trait to Glitchens - I too cannot tell immediately my left from my rigth. When asked for street directions I have to think really hard and more than once I've unwillingly misdirected people (I feel very guilty and ashamed of myself, afterwards). Plus I cannot use my right hand to do some specific things, while for other tasks I use them interchangeably. On the other hand (there's always another hand) I touch type and am very fast at it.

  • However cold it is, I tend to kick my blanket off whenever I sleep. That's why I like sleeping in hotel rooms. They tuck the sides of the blanket in so I can't kick it off. 
    I cannot type quickly normally. My left index finger has to be suspended up. I'm used to it. 
    I like walking right beside a wall for a reason that I simply cannot figure out. I used to try to walk along a certain coloured tile. I rarely see those kind now. I'm not going out enough. 
    I am friggin afraid of anything I can think of that's not a cute little puppy, a human, a cute little kitten or a rabbit. Anything that flies past me gives me a shock. 
    I prefer sleeping on the sofa than on my bed. 
    I prefer sleeping on the floor with a mattress than on my bed. This allows me to play Glitch till I'm seriously too tired. 
    I am either too young or too old for most games I play. 
    I'm too young for Glitch. And Facebook. Admitted that in http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/30413/#reply-317514
    I can't think of stuff when I need to but I always think of them when I'm supposed to be focusing on something else.

  • I flip things in my head so that left = right, even though I do not have dyslexia(my mother and brother both do).
    I thought I was right-handed until a few months ago when I discovered I was ambidextrous. (I actually depend more on my left hand now, though I can't write or draw with it very well, and will sometimes try to switch hands without thinking in the middle of a Wii game.)
    I almost always have lucid dreams, and can fantasize fairly realistically even when I'm awake.
    I think in anime format. It usually involves me ranting to one of any number of made-up characters.
    I have a small fang in the front-bottom of my mouth thanks to a canine growing in too far forward.

  • Not only have I seen a real anaconda (and i don't mean in a zoo), but i helped to save a puppy from being crushed/eaten by one.
