I am not sure if this is strange, but some people find it interesting.  You know the saying "If I told you I would have to kill you"?  Well, I don't say that part, I just call a number, enter some information, and say goodbye.  Hope that doesn't freak anyone out.  Just the life I have to live now.

i often fantasize about switching bodies with a guy. i even have a target in mind, if this suddenly becomes possible, a male online friend who'd like to try out a female body

I apparently make spaceship sounds in my sleep. I figured out how to set Audacity to do sound-activated recording. It only recorded 9.5 minutes out of about 6 hours of sleep, so apparently I'm no longer a loud snorer. The five years of allergy shots have worked wonders! But here are a couple interesting short clips from the 9.5 mins.

Seriously though, I'm sure some things are made to sound weirder because all the silent gaps are automatically deleted by the sound activation.

Makes me think of demons that are able to come out when your consciousness is at rest. You might want to look into some exorcism just to be sure.

For years, I've imagined having a brother. For the first few years of imagining, he was my twin (until my mom told me I did have an older sibling who didn't survive- then I imagined him as the older sibling).
Now, I'm wondering if he is me or a part of me or if I just imagined him because I wanted someone to support me. Or both.

Me too...at least on the twin part. I have no idea why, I have just always wished I had a twin brother and always felt I should have done.

As a person who is morbidly scared of Aliens that would freak me out to no end.

Oh that will do nicely for my strange fact, im scared of aliens. The long freaky variety.

Hearing power drills immediately gives me flashbacks to being in the dentist.

Pretty sure aliens would know to turn off my recording device if they were doing anal probe experiments on me in the night.

but the sounds you recorded might still be their idea of a good joke
(ever watched or read level e?)

I memorize movies as a hobby.

I'm teaching myself Irish Gaelic.

I'm a sci-fi/fantasy fiction writer and this is all fun to think about. However, my Occam's Razor conclusion is that it was probably the hard-drive spinning up after a long enough period of silence that it went into a power-saving mode.

I know, boring, right? I much better like the idea that I'm actually a cyborg--some kind of science experiment like Kyle XY.

that boring explanation was really disappointing

but really, if you're into sci-fi/fiction you should watch the anime "level e", and read the manga (for the cute ending)
the mc is an evil genius with more interesting hobbies than taking over the world
it's one of my favorite comedies, and that author's best work in my opinion

I'll try to check it out.

I have named all my Diablo 3 characters after obscure musical instruments, yet I have been known to spend an hour trying to come up with a suitable name for other characters.

My wife named hers after varieties of cheese.

I have nicknamed some local restaurants based on not being able to recall their names in conversation.  "Salad Place" is a favorite, and we're still sad that "Noodles" and "Dim Sum" have closed.

A fly just landed on my leg and I decided to karate chop it: made contact, found it knocked out on the sofa. WOO im da man!
lol I cant believe I hit it.

I dressed up as Puck for Halloween in the sixth grade. Everyone thought I was a tree.

A faerie trickster also known as Robin Goodfellow. He is famous (at least, to some people) for being a character in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Oh *googles* he kinda looks a bit like a cross between the fawn in the lion the witch and the wardrobe and peter pan. Well to me hes does anyways 

Strange fact...I used to have a fantasy as a teenager that some scientist made a machine that could swap your gender and he just happened to be showing it off in the street. My best friend whom I was in love with wen to look and I  stumbled into it and popped back out after a few moments (unconcious) as a shirtless hunk and my best friend thought I was the best looking thing she'd ever seen. How cheesy.

I can't decide if Serena from Sailor Moon should belong to Darien or Rei.  The inner childhood tells met hat she belongs to Darien and fulfill their destiny of being together but the Yuri in me tells me that Darien is nothing but a liability who doesn't treat Serena with enough respect and even though her and Rei argue a lot they are perfect for year other.  I'm sure if they made the series where she actually got with Rei then I would just be as goo goo over that.

Winner:  Serena x Rei

This would have been more suited in the what am I thinking thread.....oh well lol.  It's still a fact.
