Something about us as a person or something unusual we have done?
I once ate my lunch in a torpedo tube.
At 60 years old, I still climb trees.
I’d be 56 grams heavier if I had a prostate.
Since 0.5% of men are missing theirs that makes me 1 in 200. Is that unusual enough?
I don’t have hair on my legs above my knees so I have never shaved above my knee caps.
I was born from artificial insemination. I don’t think it was talked about back in those days.
Also, I thought my birthday was December 29th until I was turning 8 years old when I found out that was a lie to get me into kindergarten a year early. Later on I realized my aunt always bought me garnets, which is the January birth stone.
I walk neighbor dogs free because I need the emotional guilt as a motivator for exercise. :D
My father was a North Vietnamese war hero with hundreds of kills.
I almost ended up a head-on collision with a car while speeding down a hill with my bike.
I’ve been Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Agnostic, Baptist, Lutheran and an Atheist.
I remember my dreams so vividly I often have to concentate to be sure what memories I have really happened.
I was once arrested for assaulting a guy at a pool. The dude made a nasty remark about a lady friend I was with, something about her bikini. There was nothing wrong with it. Anyway it was reduced to public intoxication. And the girl was a friend of the one who would later become my wife. And Mouth of the South told my betrothed the whole story. Which is one reason my wife has a hissy fit if I want to go “out with the boys”. I’m only allowed to drink beer at home alone with her, and then in moderation. LOL My bad. But at the end of the day, it’s probably a good thing that she does that.
I ws in a plane that crash landed coming out of O’Hare when I was thirteen. It was a small single engine plane in which my dad was the pilot. We lost power shortly after takeoff and didn’t have enough altitude to make it back to the airport so we crash landed in a farm field. I don’t know how unique that is but there can’t be too many people that can say the crashed coming out of O’Hare. Kind of exciting for a kid.
Jesus @Jaxk! Were you terrified?
I believe in reincarnation and can clearly recall past life experiences. For instance remember being a pagan priestess and making offerings to Aphrodite. So, it was just last week…but I think it still counts.
I have a neurological condition called synesthesia. It means information meant to stimulate one of your senses can stimulate two or more of your senses. It sounds weird, but I can taste words.
My father, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and three first cousins were all addicts. My mother, grandfather, aunt, and a first cousin all suffered from mental illness.
I wear mint green shades (today).
@Dutchess_III – I wasn’t scared, more excited like you’d get for a Roller Coaster. Being young smooths a lot of bumps.
I’m color blind (strong red-green blindness, according to this test. It makes shopping for fruit a pain, but otherwise not that big of a deal (though it also means I can’t be one of those guys in the movies who deactivates bombs… “cut the green wire, careful with the red!” “uh…”)
@bob_ I grew up with a red green colorblind dad and it’s amazing how well people compensate for that colorblindness considering it is the color of traffic lights and so much of the US is green natural surroundings.
I think being aware of my dad’s colorblindness and helping him was unique for me as a daughter, even though obviously I’m not the only child who grew up with a colorblind parent.
Have you tried the corrective glasses?
@JLeslie I love watching the video’s of people trying Enchroma’s, it’s amazing to me.
I just ran the test from @bob_
Results:
Normal Color Vision
You have normal color vision, which means you can see up to one million distinct shades of color!
I weighed only 2lbs and 8ozs at birth.
