strange facts about ourselves

[JungianZoe]

Me too! I don't have a diagnosis, but I'm sensory defensive and fluorescent lighting makes me insanely anxious.

How about compact fluorescents?  Do they give you the same problems?

And something strange about myself I forgot to put in my first post... I've got six nipples, three on each side.  The extra ones aren't very interesting though, just like little moles that form lines down my chest.

Not necessarily. I think it's mainly harsh overhead lighting that causes me problems. Big fluorescents just happen to be common in schools and offices and stores and such.

We don't call it 'veering' we call it 'conversation'.

I had to ask because I'm just like you in that regard: can't stand the big overhead variety, but I'm perfectly good with compacts.  In fact, over half of what's in my apartment are compact fluorescents.  But they're all in lamps because I can't take overhead lights in any capacity.

Now, to veer back to the conversation at hand, which I am sure will be momentarily derailed.

Strange facts:
    I consider myself an androgyne (yes, that's VERY strange in this forum...)
    I also sit in weird positions; I can do the 'normal' position, but I get uncomfortable.
    I want a pet penguin called Bob.
    I am the new kid around here.
    I chose Valkyrie as a username because that is the name I use whenever I play video or computer games.
    I love Garry's Mod.

My ADD brain can't handle conversations that stay relentlessly on topic.  I always appreciate people that don't shy from diversions and tangents.  I thank them by not having my eyes glaze over mid-paragraph.  It's not much, but it's something.

What's this thread about again?

Not an androgyne, no!
We hate dem dere scum - lynch 'em.

Haha, you and me both.  I just didn't know yet how much I could do without getting yelled at to get back on topic.

I have one nearsighted eye and one farsighted eye. Much of the time I wear one contact lens.

I do too! Not the one contact lens part because they freak me out, but I hate the difference in the eyes.

On the topic of eyes, I have a slight lazy eye and I worry that too many people notice. Paranoia began when I mentioned it to someone, she said "OMG I KNOW...but it's cute."

Hi! I'm Sage.  Good to meet you.  I like emperor penguins the best.~     What about you?

Wasn't it about adding something to your brain to keep your eyes from glazing over?

I was wondering why you were standing over there with a shotgun...

Crossbow.

Only if you promise no needles will be involved.

we'll just whisper into your ear what you need to do. Ticklish, but painless

[valkyrie256]

Crossbow.

Well, if you're trying to get rid of dem dere Androgynes, you got your work cut out for ya.

[ativan]

Crossbow.

could come down to a matter of cross sectional area. I'm a little guy, damned hard to hit, even if you made it that close.

[Pica Pica]

I like the thunk noise.

My weapon of choice would be a stun gun. It's more of a defensive weapon but if someone was to attack me I would totally zap their butt.
