    I find that making a corner with my sheets and rubbing my finger, hand or face on it is very soothing. Don't know why. It's something I've done since I was a kid.

    I don't cry at movies often, but the ones I have cried at have been permanently blacklisted from muh video library.

    I once dreamt of an enormous centipede falling on my face. And I smacked myself awake so hard my eyeball burned.

    I like putting salt on apples and melons. Dee-licious!

    I can't stand having open door when I'm going to bed. I get extremely paranoid staring out into the blackness.

    @DOTM Bumblebee We're all weird. If we weren't, we'd all be boring as hell. ;)  Plus we all like cute things. :) 

    @marvel b I'm the same about background noises. Dead silence creeps me out.

    I'm not scared of climbing on mountain, but I'm scared of getting on the top of the ladder.
    Everytime when before I leave the house I do 10 quick checks to make sure that nothing wrong will happen to the house.
    Gross videos are not grossing me out. I can freely eat vanillia pudding while someone plays pimple popping video.
    Everytime when I try to play games seriously I end up doing stupid stuff. Like annoying camping snipers.
    I find mowing the grass as relaxing.
    I love my dogs, but I can't stand their licking.
    I prefer going to the small cities during summer holidays, but I do it only to brag about how I would prefer to be in a bigger city and vice versa.
    I'm thinking a lot about stuff that I could do, but I don't do it, because I'm couch potato.
    I can watch Megazord transformation sequences over and over and it still keeps me in hype, despite the fact that I'm rewatching it for like 94th time.
    I have problem with distincting my neighbours.

    I’m technically 100% colorblind, but I can still see color, it’s just that I percieve all if the colors incorrectly. I do have blue/purple and red/brown issues though.

    Purple is my favorite color too, despite it being one of my hardest to see. I also love art and like to paint figures, too.


    I also have an excellement memory, like I can remember a conversation I had two two years word for word. I don’t do this with everything, just the things my brain seems relevant. This comes in handy being a nerd as I absorb lore and information like a sponge, most people don’t believe when I try to tell them about it though. :(

    I have a morbid fascination with medevil torture methods. For some reason I find the threshold of what levels of pain and dismemberment the human body can live through, even in the short term, fascinating. I even wrote essays on the subject back in college and my final World History term paper was also on the subject.

    No, I have zero desire to apply any of it in real life. It's just a fascinating subject for me.

    I was hospitalized twice in the mental ward within the last year.
    I slapped a guy in my sophomore year of high school for insulting my TF collecting.
    During 7th grade, I only received an afterschool detention for threatening to stab some students.
    Once, I considered converting to Islam to be with an ex of mine (fuck me that was dumb!)
    I have perfect pitch.
    Whenever Pine Sol is put on the floor, I enjoy smelling it for a few seconds.
    My first video game was either GTA III or GTA: Vice City at just the age of 3.
    My favorite film is Thief by Michael Mann.
    My favorite show is Miami Vice.
    I take 10-20 minutes on the toilet after defecating. Habit since I was a kid.
    I chew on my thumb all the time.
    My preferred room temperature is in the 50s, AC on at all times.

    I have no friends. For some reason my co workers think that's weird and somewhat disturbing.

    I had open heart surgery at age 7.

    I had tubes put in my ears at age...honestly I can't remember- but it gave me super hearing.

    I had 4 teeth pulled at age....can't remember that either.

    I had my gallbladder removed in high school- due to gall stones- gallbladder almost ruptured. (worst pain I've ever felt in my life)

    I've been so stressed that it triggered Alopecia, and I lost 90% of my hair above my neck- had to shave my head for several months. (Good old stress! Shit'll friggin kill ya...)

    I have acid reflux DUE to my gallbladder being removed- so yeah....nobody told me that shit was a possibility.

    I had an endoscopy & colonoscopy at age 30- due to all the symptoms caused by acid reflux- they took 40 biopsies, and found nothing. (Never been more relieved in my life- I was seriously scared dude...)

    I've had injuries that required staples in my head. (I call them angel kisses lol)

    I used to sleepwalk as a kid- fell down the stairs once, woke up next to our pool multiple times, and even woke up on the diving board once. 0_0

    I've pulled a PERFECT on Seth in Street Fighter 4 on HARDEST while hammered-ass drunk. (Tried it again sober the next day: He killed me in seconds LOL)

    I've belly flopped off the top of a boat dock- DON'T do that. Hurts like Hell. LOL

    I had a pregnancy scare in college, and didn't sleep for 2 straight days. (Dodged a bullet there boy, hoooweeeee…)

    I have a manikin in my basement, from when I used to cosplay, his name is Frank, and I used him to play a home invasion prank on my family once. (One of my proudest moments LOL)

    I'm allergic to Avocados- it makes me vomit- so yeah...Super Bowl and Mexican food aren't as fun for me anymore.

    My twin brother's allergic to bees- but here's the weird thing: I'm AFRAID of bees, but I'm not allergic- and he's not afraid at all, but if he gets stung- his throat closes up. Weird, right?

    I have to be borderline blackout drunk to dance- I'm too self-conscious when it comes to dancing or doing anything that might draw public attention.

    I was forced to attend military school my freshman year of high school- and I just want to make this clear to any parent who's considering sending their kids off to military school:
    If your kid doesn't want to go to military school, don't force them to go- because they might just deliberately fuck everything up and get kicked out on purpose. (Didn't exactly go the way you thought it would, did it mom and dad? Nope nope nope....)

    I saw my uncle's ghost on a night where nobody else was in the house- it was just me. No booze, no drugs- completely clean/sober- and I friggin' saw him. 0_0

    I once deliberately pissed myself just to make some annoying drunken college girls go away.

    I absolutely love the show Ink Master, but I'll never get a tattoo.

    1. I bite on my lip all the time; also chew some of the dry skin off my lip.

    2. I'm obsessed with Havana and Cardi B.

    3. I usually dislike and am self-conscious of how my art looks, yet I still keep drawing.

    4. Never properly learned to ride a bike until four years ago.

    5. Only rode a bicycle successfully twice.

    6. I'm allergic to Fritos, yet I can eat all of Frito Lays' other chip products.

    7. I cuddle, or "spoon", with anything that's in the same bed as me. I sleep under a mattress cover, because I'm spooning my blanket.

    8. Every time I make a plan on how to do my assignments, they never go according to plan.

    9. I never support an OTP or cannon ship in an anime, except for Naegiri in Danganronpa (Naegi x Kirigiri).

    10. I can't binge watch (bar a few cases).

    I think violins and cellos sound like a river. That makes absolutely no sense because they're not watery like a harp. But when I hear it, I just think river.

    I believe music has temperatures.

    I hate the idea of being in my pjs all day. It just annoys me to no end.

    I like going into home depot to smell the wood and look at the garden section. It makes me nostalgic.

    Looking up at tall places from the ground makes me feel dizzy and off balance.

    Occasionally late at night, I sometimes hear a loud humming noise that makes my spine feel like its being pressed down on and jangled. I dunno what kinda machine makes that noise, but I wish it would stop.

    I'm nose oriented to the point where I taste what I smell more often then other people. Its fine for some things, but things like acrid burning rubber, the heat of a wildfire, bath and body works, dog shit, mildew...lemme tell ya people, sooo not pleasant.

    I own mad socks. MAD socks. I'm changing my socks like 5 times a day. It's just a weird fixation I have or something. I have like 3 or 4 drawers filled with them. I'm like a crazy sock man.

    I can do a whole load of laundry with just socks and in fact, I do.

    I'd be happy to walk around naked as long as I had a pair of socks on.

    Weird facts about myself...

    1. My nerves constantly fire off pain signals long after an injury has healed. Considering I still feel injuries from 32 years ago that I don't even have any memory of getting in the first place I don't think it'll ever stop.

    2. To make matters worse I've tried all kinds of pain killers, nearly overdosed and nothing works.

    3. I have multiple personality disorder which seems to be my only way of managing the constant pain.

    4. I like Christian Rock which is weird because I'm an Atheist.

    5. I was in special ed because my Elementary School thought I couldn't read. In reality the actual problem is I have some form of insomnia which causes my "clock" to work backwards. I'm more alert at night than during the day and it don't matter how much or how little sleep I get I'm always going to be a little bit tired and have difficulting focusing during the day. Of course I never figured this out till I was an adult because no one even attempted to talk to me about why I was having problems.

    6. I joined my mom's Jehovah's Witness group just to practice reading so I could hopefully get back into regular ed classes. Again, I'm Atheist, I've always been Atheist, but I've read the Bible.

    7. I once considered joining a church group just because I found out they had a theater program... but then didn't when I found out I'd have to actually attend Church every Sunday. I ain't waking up early in the morning on and waisting half my weekend listening to some guy talk about someone that has never been proven to exist just for acting jobs.

    8. I use to watch Movie Magic, gawd I miss that show, ever since I was like four years old. The library also had books about how movies are made which I would check out and read all the time. I probably read the same book of film 100 times a year for all K-8 I've been obsessed with being an actor ever since I can remember.

    9. Some how I ended up doing theater instead of film which I never thought I would ever do because my memory is freaking terrible. I would have my script back stage and spend every free minute I had off stage going over my lines for the next scene till I had to go on again.

    10. Despite dialog being so difficult to memorize my muscle memory is amazing. I'd go over my blocking once and have it down perfectly. I guess from playing with Transformers cause I can pick up figures I haven't touched in years and transform them without a problem.

    That's kinda funny. I'm just about the opposite: I'm not an atheist, but my wife listens to Christian music all the time in the car and I usually can't stand it.

    But, I can't really say anything, because I have very weird taste in music:
    My CD case is filled with 4 main types of CDs: Weird Al, movie soundtracks, video game soundtracks, and my homemade wrestling entrance music compilations.

    I have about Weird Al's entire discography, and he's pretty much the only commercial artist I listen to. Sure, I like other individual songs, but not enough to buy whole albums of the same singer. The only other regular music CDs I have are left over from my college days: Hootie and the Blowfish, Green Day, Counting Crows, Lisa Loeb, etc.

    I love soundtracks, both movie and video games. They just make me visualize the game/movie, which I find relaxing. Plus it’s a nostalgia rush.

    And, I collect pro wrestling entrance music. I compile them on CDs, sorted by year. I do my own editing and occasionally mastering, to make them match the wrestler’s entrance exactly. Again, it’s a nostalgia trip (I’ve watched wrestling since around 1989) and a lot of these songs have never been publicly released, adding to the intrigue.

    I accidentally collect other people's junk. I have two clothespins in my room because if I see one I'll either pinch it for the noise or disassemble/ reassemble it until I'm bored then set it down on whatever shelf is closest.

    My thoughts have dictation. That is, I often think out the words comma, semicolon, and slash. Never periods though. That'd be crazy.:p 

    I only speak English, but have been asked what is my first language and told I speak English very well (like they assumed I wouldn't be able to).

    This one freaks me out sometimes, but I get auditory hallucinations of songs. Usually I know the song, but sometimes it just sounds familiar though I can't quite make out the words.
