Facts About Yourself Thread!

[MeanBlackHawk 147]

Well too many it may surprise you that I'm actually black. 

Yup,

If you want I have a highlight film for football and currently working on a wrestling one as well.

[ping111 124]

Here's a couple new ones:

 

I can continue to listen to music or conversations and understand them while I am sleeping, and I sometimes respond to conversations without my body's "consent" - it just sorta slips out.

 

Whenever a bad memory I regret comes up, I try and "shunt" it away with a super-noticable cringe.

 

I have scars on my body that will never go away - one on the back of my head, and several in a stripe under my left rib - because of childlike accidents. That is, hitting my head on those playground zipline thingies, and falling off a bicycle.

 

I can raise my right eyebrow without moving the other one.

 

I am fluent in Hebrew, but I hate learning it so much.

 

When I don't know a word in a foreign language, I will subconsciously replace it with a word from another foreign language.

 

I can type 1.3 words a second, or about 80 a minute. The average person my age can type about 30 wpm.

 

I am obsessed with typography, and can type in QWERTY, Colemak, and Steno (court reporting).

 

I don't observe any "negative" Jewish traditions - that is, I don't keep Kosher, do work on Saturdays, eat bread during Passover, etc. It's part of my compromise for preserving my Jewish culture and heritage, without believing in God.

 

I am so socially anxious that when I am eating and someone I am not totally familiar with wants to talk with me, I will wipe the corners of my mouth repeatedly trying to wipe off nonexistent food bits.

 

I make up fairly simple, but knowledge-requiring, riddles that people who want to know certain pieces of generally-open information (actual first name, gender, etc.) have to solve.

 

When I was little, I was afraid of asking for things directly, so I'd spell things out in the air with my fingers or use periodic symbols. I'm still not sure why I did this.

 

Randomly, for anywhere from one word to a full sentence, I will adopt a quite heavy Québecois accent. It's not out-of-the-blue, as my parents are both from Montréal and have accents themselves, but it always shocks my friends when I say "Hah-nah Mon-tah-nah" as opposed to the (overly-exaggerated to show difference) "Hya-neh Mon-tye-na" of their Torontonian accents, which I do pick up on.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

I can see auras

 

I can play the piano blindfolded

 

I'm ambidextrous 

 

I can hit a super high b-flat on an alto saxophone (Same as a super high C on a B-flat trumpet)

 

Those are the only things I can think of for now. 

[quantum flux 89]

There are very few things I tell anybody.

I might be Bipolar, my moods swing between happy, angry, or depressed very quickly.

If I'm ever very bored, I'll leave the internet, go to my room, and start talking to myself while organizing something.

I'm very obsessive with organizing things, such as my collectibles or my books.

I act as if I have ADD/ADHD, but as a baby, I wasn't diagnosed with any sort of attention disorder. I'm just naturally a hyper kid.

My friends and family don't know this, but I'm actually a big hypocrite myself. In a lot of things. I feel bad about it but I can't change my ways so easily. 

I don't feel regretful for anything I've done in the past, no matter how traumatic it might have been for anybody else.

I don't know what happiness really is.

I fake my smiles a lot.

Only my crush has seen a real smile from me.

As my smiles are faked, so are my laughs most of the time.

My crush is the only one not related to me who has ever heard me giggle for real.

I think bass guitar is not very interesting.

I'm sorry what was that second part? The sound of somebody asking me to go and murder their family in their sleep? Okay then .

 

 

 

 

Lets see first thing most people don't know is I snowboard and I play bass

Thirdly I will murder your family if you insult bass guitar

I have this urge to poke or pinch the centers of my palms. I've been doing it since I was a little kid. It's really strange, and for awhile I thought it meant that I was the second coming. I am Jewish, and my dad does love carpentry. I'm not saying I'm the messiah, but I'm just saying...

The Beatles are my childhood, I even wanted to do halloween as a Beatle once.
 

I used to be into Bionicle and still maintain a presence on a Bionicle website.

 

I travel a lot, mostly to Chicago. the first time I went, I forced everyone to listen to a 70's radio station until the band "Chicago" came on, so we would be listening to Chicago in Chicago. The song that came on was also one of my favorites.

 

I'm of Polish decent and want to learn the language. I also want to go to Poland. I've considered moving to Poland, and am still thinking about it. I probably am going to move to Chicago though.

 

My favorite car is a MGB.
