Foo - Something a little different about you.

I have the Asian curse. I don't have to shave. And I don't sweat either. Only when I'm really really sick. Oops. TMI. Oh well. :p

What's different about you?

i was a lefty but my mom thought lefty was not normal so she would hit me everything i wrote with my left. now i'm a semi-righty aka normal....
my left arm is still the strong arm. i throw, punch, lift, etc with my left and i use my right for writing and eating.

i guess that would make mine a norwegian curse, i have to shave every day

I dont hunt, fish, watch football,baseball or all the normal sports

I can still recite most of the stuff I memorized in grammar school, including a long list of English prepositions. (That'll keep them ROTFL if I'm ever put in a concentration camp.)

Oklahoma is the only one of the fifty US states I have never visited.

I have nine toes altogether.

and...

I'm very hairy and sweat at the slightest provocation, particularly now that I'm using a drug that causes me to sweat even more. It's one of the reasons I like to bike and swim for exercise: they're both self-cooling.

Brought up Catholic? That happened to my best friend in Sunday School.

tmi that almost sounds like a good name for a new thread

not religious at all. funny thing is my mom is a lefty too.

I have the halfass beard curse, I have to shave every other day, but if I let it grow it's all thin and patchy, looks horrible.

Im irish, very irish...

ive also been clocked kicking a soccer ball 122km/h is that different?

I like the sound of bagpipes in the morning. It sounds like... victory.

Surely that wouldn't only be different if you weren't actually Asian?

Hmmmm....what is "different" about me?

Most other tech geek engineer types me haven't read much....but everybody who knows me calls me "very well read". I guess I read a lot when I was younger, especially the classics (poetry too).

I can't memorize words or anything normal, but I'm semi-decent at remembering numbers, like my drivers license or a quick phone number.

I used to be what some what call a "holy roller". I'm not anymore.....in fact, Sunday morning is my bike riding day (for the long ride), not church day anymore. I still respect people who are strong in their faith though.

I adore dry and sarcastic humor, which tends to be closer to my own style most times and....my family has NEVER understood me because of it. Additionally, because of it, I've NEVER fit in with my family. I feel like a fish out of water at family gatherings.

Most of my friends hate going to the movies with me because they say I'm a "movie critic". I am the guy who walks out of a movie and is talking about all the little inconsistencies in the story.

I am often VERY observant. I notice little things about people everywhere, their house if I'm there, etc... It can be a real curse at times.

- 'different' as in physiological?

- how about a prehensile tail?

:-)

Hmmmm, there's the obvious difference, I've lost more weight recently then almost any two people weigh!

I'm a 46 year old college student.

I like to ride my bicycle insanely long distances in a day!

Ill stick up for anyone that people gang up againts, I always root for the underdog.
I can retain informations, memorise just about everything for a very long time, details, conversations, facts, anything..
I just saw a guy at work and placed him as far as 1989 and told him what he was doing my my work buidling at the time, he wondered how he made such an impression on me, he didnt... I just memorise things and people a little too much, almost a curse!

I can dislocate both my shoulders and both my legs.:D

Hold on hold on,
I thought women didn't sweat.
I thought horses sweat, men perspire, and women glissen.:lol:

I am the only person I have ever met who actually DID use old Sears Roebuck catalogues for toilet paper in our two-holer outhouse back in Sunfish, Kentucky.

I like the sound of bagpipes in the morning. It sounds like... victory.
who doesn't.

I'm a pro gun vegetarian who doesn't believe in eating processed meats, but has no problem with subsistence hunting (I don't hunt anymore though).

I'm one of the more liberal people I know who serve in the Army.

I'm almost always happy, if not at least content.

When I'm IMing people I often times end up typing parts of code in their window anbd it never dawns on me until after I have to hit enter why I wasn't seeing anything appear on the monitor / window it was supposed to. I also do the exact opposite and type IM in code windows too. Wonder why somebody didn't rotflol at something i said, go to build and be like WTF errros. WHAT DO U MEAN I HAVE ERRORS. Hey what the heck is that doing in my code.

I live on a boat, in the desert.

I LIKE liver and onions.

Sorry. :D

I'm a pro gun vegetarian...
Wow...just when I thought I seen it all.

I can suck liquid up my nose and squirt it out of my tear ducts. Also weird about me is that I've been sleeping on the floor for the past 5 years. Partly for my back, and partly because I prefer it.

We used the Montgomery Ward...and only had a one hole outhouse:eek: in Wadena, Iowa (http://www.city-data.com/city/Wadena-Iowa.html) I was 15 before they got dependable indoor plumbing on the family farm. Also FWIW I was born in SoCal...and have never been back:D

Aaron:)

I like to sleep in the nude as much as possible.
I'm OCD about my OCP when it comes to bicycles and keeping them clean and well tuned. But I'm not that way about my apartment. It's just somewhat tidy.
I'm afraid of someone stealing my information, so I shred everything I get that has my name and address on it before I throw it out.
I used to hunt and fish, until I came back from Desert Storm and lost the desire to. I could do it to feed myself, but no longer see it as a recreation.
I have excellent retention when reading and can read an entire book in one evening if I want. I read super fast.

Didn't know you were in Desert Storm. Thank you, Cycle! :o

You're Welcome. After seeing a few of the things I saw...I gained a different perspective on life in general. Hunting just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

One thing that's a little different about me is I enjoy cooking, which most guys don't.

I once lived in a haunted apartment.

I used to haunt rando's apartment.

that was you? I hated when you kept turning the TV on.

Well it's really, really boring being a ghost.

The old single holer in back of my farmhouse was knocked down just last year. It had not been in regular use since we put in plumbing in the late 70's.

I look like I'm 17 even though I was born in a time when Woodstock was just a yellow bird, Nixon was not a crook, and Armstrong and Aldrin still had something to prove.

My mind is a free-flowing rampage of twisted thoughts. I manage to offend myself at least 2-3 times a week, which is pretty amazing considering what it takes to offend me.

Oh, and I had to shave since I was 11 years old. I was always a rather hirsute person.

Another weird one...in my younger years, I was not producing enamel on my teeth. The treatment that ensued (a combination of things that in the end caused enamel to be made) left my teeth yellowed. I never got them bleached, but should. This is also why my smiles have always shown minimal amount of teeth.

Oh, and I have incredibly sensitive hearing...it's actually hard to listen to people sometimes because the background noise gets in my way. Pretty much I can hear things at over 60feet that most people only notice at 15 feet. Bonus, I can hear a honda creeping up on me from the tire noise alone. :)

Yeah, you know, I used to think it was corny when movies would portray vets like that. Having been there (OEF and OIF), I can relate. I don't hunt anymore, I don't shoot for fun anymore, and I don't much care for war movies.

Neighbors.

Neighbors.
This neighbour would! Then again, O play the pipes, sort of! My Great Uncle was a Piper for the Queens Own Royal Highlanders as well. Talk about a Piper!

By the way, a little trivia about the Queens Own:
During WWI, the Germans, on hearing that the Queens Own Royal Highlanders had run out of ammunition for their rifles and machine guns offered terms. On this offer the Q.O.R.H refused, citing the honor of the regiment. The Germans replied that it was a violation of the rules of war to refuse the surrender and the Scots repeated that they weren't going to surrender. The German commander realized what the Scots were saying and replied that there was a bit of a misconception here, that he was offering THEIR surrender! They didn't want the Scots in their trenches with knives and bayonettes! The Queens Own were Bad Mothers! The story isn't a joke either, it's absolutely true!

make that the two of us... seriously

make that the two of us
explody pup is a busy guy

I like ketchup and hate tomatoes. I like fish sticks, but not fish. I can wiggle my ears.

I'm in the Ocean 4 to 6 times a week.

My last name has two sets of double letters...it that a sign of being from a line of Irish Royalty? :rolleyes:

I have some strange inate sense of rhythm, I can't place my finger on what it is. I visualize music like an EKG graph, each instrument has its own trace. Then dancing is like stepping on that graph, I step on the various parts of the waveform. It's like that when I speak with people, I SEE the words moving by and whenever the important key ideas come across, the words are bolded. Same with cooking, each flavor I see like a plot on a 3D graph. Then I balance the levels of four tastes as needed for each dish. I can also watch two movies at the same time. Two screen, two movies and the headphones are wired so that one movie's audio goes into the left ear and the other movie goes into the right ear. Maybe I did too many psychedelic drugs at university, eh?

Actually, it means you are a bloody genius! Genius is defined as being able to process 2 or more disparate concepts simultaneously, unfortunately, that's also the definition of insanity!http://doom3.planet-multiplayer.de/forum/html/emoticons/uglygaga.gif

Guess that makes you the King!!
