In an age where ADD and ADHD are probably over-diagnosed, I somehow was labelled as "immature" in kindergarten and it wasn't until I was 21 that they realized I have ADD.

Me too! I was just a bright but inattentive kid until I was diagnosed late in high school.

Strangest fact?  I've got 12 toes. ;D

Next one is probably my strange body proportions.  I'm 5'11" with an armspan of 6'8", giving me a bit of an ape-like appearance.  But that length is also why my arms are so thin.

Then there's my strange eyesight, where I can't focus on any two colors at once.  I'm nearsighted on the cool end of the spectrum (blue, purple, green etc.) and farsighted on the warm end (orange, red, yellow, white).  Can't wear glasses because there's no way to correct everything and I can't wear contact lenses because my eyes are very flat.  Nobody manufactures contacts for people with flat eyes.

Finally, I have sensory integration disorder, which causes my moods to erupt if presented with the wrong stimulus.  I can't handle overhead lighting or certain timbres of music (think Broken Wings by Mr. Mister or anything by REO Speedwagon).  I'll erupt into tears instantly if I hear them, no matter what mood I'm in beforehand.  That's why I always have my Zune and headphones in my purse, because I need them to walk through stores.  But if a store has bad shadows due to its lighting scheme, I have to leave.


EDIT: I forgot to include that I was born in a town called Normal. ;D

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

I love horror movies, especially from the 80's, and  the only one that's ever scared me is ET o__o
i'm horrified of him. I went into my favourite halloween store about a year ago and when i walked in it was my worst nightmare (next to the real ET =O), a lifesize replica of ET sitting on the counter o-o  it took me a minute to get inside, where i bolted in as fast as i could. i had to do the same when i left since it was the only exit. watched it a little bit, then made a run for it, looking behind me after to make sure it wasn't following me -.-

Wow, I never thought of ET as a horror movie.  I had to look it up and IMDb lists it as 'drama' and 'adventure'.  It's supposed to be heroic or something.  But I can feel you.  It's not ET, but I'm going to freak out if I ever see that African doll from the Karen Black deal back in the 70s.

That African doll has since learned English as a second language and is a prominent member of the republican party in the state of Florida.

This comes from Trilogy of Terror (1975),

You can find the entire thing - it's only like 10 minutes long or something - on utube.

True Tekla, i didn't even think of that. ET isn't (supposed to be) a horror movie, it's a kid's/adventure movie. But it's horror for me lol

If we're going there... Polyphonic Spree makes me want to claw out my eyes.  Which really doesn't help, but is easier than clawing out my ears.

There's a questionable Chinese/pan-Asian/American buffet that I have a habit of going to for lunch since it's near the office and a handful of the hundreds of items they have are edible.  What makes the place stand out is the number of times they play this horrible, badly accented childrens' choir rendition of "Happy Birthday To You" where you can't even tell who the subject of the birthday wishes is.  I think it's "...happy birthday dear Earth..." but it could be "dear us" or "eat dirt" or "bee vlorg" or anything really.

Last time I went there, they managed to play it four times within a half-hour timespan.

I used to love them, saw them live in Coventry and got involved in a Polyphonic Spree moshpit - it was utterly exciting and uplifting and left me feeling breathless - I can see how the relentless positivity may get on your tits though.

We went to an eat all you want vegetarian place the other day, all tofu meat and stuff...nice, though salty.

I've seen it off and on over the decades.  Because I'm old. I may actually be living with that doll.   :o

I live with this doll...



She's called Daisy, I say she's my muse. She hasn't shown me any displeasure yet.

I don't know, Pica... Daisy looks highly suspicious to me!  Better make sure you keep all sharp objects and blunt instruments of doom away from her...

Hmm, random strange fact?   :laugh:

I love chickens!  I have fifteen of them waddling around the yard right now and they'll hop into my lap and beg for treats, and they'll follow me around and fly up onto my shoulders...they're my little feathered minions and they love me.   >:-)  My friends think I'm crazy, but maybe they're right.   :P

Other people love cats, dogs, horses, other animals...but me?  Chickens are my favorite pets of all.

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)

Every time on football field having to play I wanted to be in the middle of the cheerleaders as one of them. During PE it took all I could withstand not to walk into the girls dressing room to join in. But I knew I would be dismissed from school. Looks like you would have made a nice twirler. Have fun now girl friend
