Hi,

   I'm going to copy Ell and start a thread where people kind of list things.  This thread is about strange facts about ourselves.

Me first:

   I live up the street from my grave.

Hi Rebis,

Sorry, but what the?  How do you get to live near your grave?  Is it a family crypt or something?  I hope I'm not being disrespectful, but it just threw me alittle. 


I am strange, so that's fact number one.

Fact number two is that I suffer from vertigo and claustrophobia!

Hmmmmm Rebis, I think you might win for the strangest fact 

Z

I have eaten dog and iguana before.

... and liked it.

Well, it's really not all that strange, but I'm alektorophobic. It's spilled over into a strong aversion to the sight, smell, and thought of eggs. I've been this way since I was small.

What does iguana taste like? What kind of texture?

it's a little-known fact, but Rebis is actually a vampire. and stays up in the wee hours of the night listening to Songs for Drella.

Iguana was real stringy and made spicy. The village person caught a giant wild iguana that morning just for us, from the jungle. Tasted like lizard.

The dog tasted like... Lassie, Rin tin tin, Old Yeller, or Cujo.

i love it when the village people catch giant wild iguanas!

I totaled the drivers ed car, the week of september 11 2001, and it was the fault of the other driver.

I can draw everything good that happened to me in the last 3 years back to a personal message I recieved on a webcomic's forum that I no longer frequent on October 11, 2004.

Never fear asking a question, Buttercup.

    My SO and I purchased our plots which happen to be maybe 1/4 mile from our house.  Since I'm sure that's where I'm going to end up, I figure I can consider it my grave.  I've actually considered going up there and digging it myself, but then I'd have to spend a lot of time maintaining it's structure.
    I just recalled that when I was a teenager, I jumped down in an open (unoccupied) grave just up the hill from where I will be.  I must say that the earth was quite nice.

Hi Rebis,

What a great idea!  It's such a wonderful thing to do, especially as a couple, it means you must be soulmates and together forever, how romantic!

Thank you. I can never explain to people how I feel about her.

I used to own my own my own coffin. I was going to use it as a coffee table or a toybox if I ever had children. I sort of mislaid it.

Dang, that must of been unnerving, in addition to the tragic events at the WTC Twin Towers, Pentagon, the planes that collided, and the one that crashed to the ground.

I think the car accident was quite a bit more unnerving for me actually. If you don't watch television then you are pretty isolated from the general coverage of what goes on. I also live 1000+ miles from NYC, and had never been there at that point.

Still, weird coincidences. My life is full of them. Maybe its one of those "law of fives" things, but still interesting.

I caught a Robin with my bare hands when I was 6 years old.  I let it go after showing everybody I could find.

Mislaid it?  Don't worry, it's probably in the back of your sock drawer, along with that full-scale model of the Great Pyramid and the double-decker bus you got for last Christmas.

Interesting fact about me?  I was the Drum Major in my High School Band, but secretly wanted to be one of the twirlers.

Another fact, probably not as interesting...I am, and always have been, afraid of heights...but only to the point where I am sure I would not survive, then I'm OK (well, better anyway)

....Laurry

I had a grooms lady at my wedding. Not so strange for an androgyne I reckon, but pretty strange to the traditionalists.

That seems to be the best I can do. I don't think I am all that strange 

I've played dungeons and dragons and other roleplaying games with the same people, almost every week, for the last 18 years...

I used to play clarinet in an orchestra. Now that's wierd!

I think you hit strange with this.  It's not the games, it's the almost weekly thing for 18 years that throws me.

Alektorophobic, I had to look that one up, aversion to chickens.  And eggs?  wow that would be hard for me, I love eggs and chickens.  Roosters are another matter, they can be very aggressive and will try to claw your eyes out given half the chance!
