strange facts about ourselves

I'm addicted to sex.

I'm addicted to sex.

Hmm not so strange to me

What does that eat in the winter?
I just didn't really care for it before SRS and post with fully functioning parts. Just got my reasons.

Hi Jaimey
It makes a lot of sense, but the trick is is to not let you fool yourself into thinking and feeling that it is your baggage. And yes grounding and shielding helps a lot when one is in such a situation but not able to extricate themselves from it physically right away. But then if one doesn't feel right about going someplace where there is going to be negative energy then don't go, *period*.

Cindy

I'm pretty good at that whole "in one ear and out the other."  Just ask my mom.  >

[cindybc]

Don't worry hon, if you are truly an empath you will learn different skills on how to manage different negative energies without the use of shields. Projecting is one method I use.

But in order to be able to do this you need to bee in reasonably good cheers or in at least a positive frame of mind then you may project this energy to others around you. I find that one of the best method of projection is to send subliminally how you desire those folks to see you.

Once.  I looked in a mirror and saw an old woman's head.

[NickSister]

You really should put that thing away Rebis - it creeps me out too.

[RebeccaFog]

Can't.  I had the head grafted to my neck.  Maybe I could wear a double hoodie.

Hi Rebis
I have seen many weird things in a mirror while meditating, it was using this very method when I actually had a personal encounter with the innerself. A little girl about 7 years old, so vividly real that my entire body was tingling with this experience.  I don't do as much meditating now, I am spending more time now trying to teach others what I have learned. I see where we have kind of taken over this thread with discussions of the phenomena of Empathy. For any that maybe interested we have an Empath's and Empathy thread in the Spiritual forum in this message board.

strange fact...

I have extremely vivid dreams, and when I first wakeup I can not tell the difference between reality and dream. Sometimes dreams seem more real than reality. It can be fun sometimes, but the nightmares are the worst.

cough syrup makes me loopier than alcohol...and I take it at work...muwahahaha.

[soldierjane]

Um, strange fact about me... I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue. 

Hester, welcome to One-Eyed Jack's


Strange facts...

* I was born blue and not breathing
* I've fell from rooftops, been in several car and motorcycle accidents and participated in (forced) schoolyard fights but never had a broken bone in my life. I even fell head first from the top of a bunkbed when I was little but just gashed the skin. I guess they didn't call me Ms. Glass...
* I used to accompany my father to the tops of 20 floor buildings on a regular basis. This mostly cured my vertigo.
* I've been trapped in a malfunctioning elevator by myself... and escaped on my own. I've also ridden on the tops of elevators.
* I went through a bad electrical shock and came out unscathed. The doctors told me I was very lucky.
* I live over 5000 miles from where I was born

Ooh fun stuff! And I have had similar things happen (maybe we are karmic twins). I was born blue and not breathing, have been in similar accidents (besides the motorcycle) and never a broken bone. No vertigo or elevator experience though... I have been electicuted several times, and am not obsessed with electricity (and own a van de graff generator). I'm not that far from my birth place though.

(does being able to tie a cherry stem in a two knots count for anything?)

So, how did you escape from an elevator? Out the top?

Hi Kir

Oh neat, can I cackle madly and claw my hands to the sky while you have your Van De Graaff on? CAN I GET SOME PICTURES TOO??

No, the elevator didn't have an escape hatch, just a top service hatch which could only be opened from the top of the car (useful, huh).
It stopped almost in between floors and the elevator doors opened halfway with a sort of letterbox at the top remaining which gave to the upper floor. What I did was to use the inside opening mechanism of the upper floor door to open it and climbed out as quick as I could. It was fun!

Two knots? Wow If you can do it with your tongue, Blackie can get you a spot at Jack's (Twin Peaks reference)

I need double anesthesia for it to work. Not that the person administering it ever believes me. 

For years I had no feeling in my shins. I could hit them with anything and not feel pain, some feeling has returned.

I have seen 3 tornadoes at once, 2 of which were on the ground. Apparently this is extremely rare.
I would love to go storm/tornado chasing and have considered buying a junk car to do it , the cars take a beating from hail. Oddly enough, I can't find anyone willing to go with me. 

[tekla]

We used to chase them in Iowa.  Matter of fact, Twister was filmed in part near me.  Only we didn't use a beater, we used big motorcycles.  We were crazy.

[cindybc]

I have been going through some really funny emotions lately, laughing, crying like I'm lost.  I sometimes I doubt myself.  At times I feel that I still don't fit anywhere. I don't feel a bit like I'm a girl yet I have been one for 7 years, but even those seven years feel surreal, then I look in the mirror and I see a woman. At this moment I feel numb, not here nor there. I know that my wonderful silly sense of humor is still in there.  I only need to keep digging and I know I'll get there eventually. I also love Cindy and in no way, no how, am I ever letting her go even if I could I could, I cannot, no way.  I am who I am, and I am woman.

cough syrup makes me loopier than alcohol...and I take it at work...muwahahaha.

please don't do that.

cough syrup, esp. dextromethorphan, can be quite dangerous.

it is also contraindicated for people (such as myself) who are taking an SSRI

-ellie

but if i don't take it, the people calling in say "bless you" to my neighbor every time i cough (i work in a call/claims processing center).  it has helped tremendously (even if it does cause me to stare at the computer blankly for several minutes before realizing that i should be doing something). 

...i wish they could make it taste better (BLECH!)

[Jaimey]

ok...why are you coughing so much?

ah.  the weather.  i just had a cough.  it started with my sinuses and then moved into my chest.  bleah.  but it's getting better.  don't worry.  i wouldn't take that nasty stuff without a good reason.  i couldn't even sleep because of the coughing before i got the medicine, so it's all good.  i just think it's funny that it makes me loopier than alcohol.

I don't feel a bit like I'm a girl yet I have been one for 7 years

Cindy
