Tell Us Something WEIRD About Yourself...

[arwalden]

ME? I can't let metal utensils touch my teeth. Even though I'll stir and cook food using a wooden spoon... I will not sip or taste anything from the wooden spoon. I hate wooden Popsicle sticks and miniature wooden ice-cream "spoons". I hate eating with wooden chopsticks. It give me chills right now just THINKING about it!

There! you see? I'm weird!

[CornField]

1. I can't stand to have anyone touch my toenails

It gives me intense heebiejeebies.

[HeyManThatsCool]

2. I HAVE to mix all my food together

Lets say the meal is Chicken, Peas, Mashed Potatoes & apple sauce.
It becomes chickenpeasmashedapples

I also hum when I am in the car for more than 2 minutes- my family says I have always done it. Very faintly, you cant hear it unless its very quiet. I hum songs etc. Most of the time I dont even know I do it. I've tried to stop but to no avail.

[Zuni]

111. I often mix food too

doesn't bother me. I don't understand why some people have to seperate their food when it is all going to the same damn place

[SmokingJacket]

3. I'm somewhat phobic about other people's hair.

The most disgusting thing I can imagine is a hairball baked into a loaf of bread.

[HeyManThatsCool]

7. Ewww. Who wouldnt be phobic about that??

ack,I just barfed in my mouth

[xmas74]

4. I shattered my hand when I was 13.

I had pins in it for a number of months. The only whole bone left in it was my thumb, which now cannot be placed against my hand like everyone elses (you can put your thumb up against your hand, my tip sticks out).
I also learned how to type at the same time-vey quick typer but I do not have the correct hand settings (since I had a cast over the hand when I learned).

[Longgrain]

5. I'm anosmic...which means

I have a very weak, almost non-existent sense of smell...

http://www.maxuk.net/nose.html

[HeyManThatsCool]

6. I should add to mine that I have a ridiculously strong sense of smell

I smell things before they even start smelling. it drives people nuts.

[Longgrain]

12. I tell you it sucks...you don't know how many times in my life

People have asked me "You smell that?" or "What's burning?" and I can't answer them...seriously.

It gets pretty annoying sometimes...

[notadmblnd]

35. used to be a guy at work that claimed he couldn't smell

he would lean over the machines and just let er rip and they were discusting too. I said something to him one day about him farting and how rude he was, claimed he had no control because he couldn't smell. I replied, maybe you can't smell them but I bet you can feel them, please go someplace else and fart.

[Longgrain]

38. I've always compared it to being color blind...

I can taste fine, and there is a tingling in my nose at times...I just can't tell if it's good, bad, sexy or what?

[xmas74]

10. Must be nice.

when I was pregnant every smell made me sick.

[Longgrain]

I still feel as if I'm missing out on another dimension of life...

I guess it does have its advantages tho...:hi:

[xmas74]

21. Yep.

Then you would be fine working back in the jail.
Everytime they bring in a tweaker w/ a bad case of bo and has been too involved in cooking and scoring to bath for a few weeks at a time I get sick.
It can smell really bad back there.
Consider it a gift. BTW-I have a job interview next week.

[Longgrain]

24. Thanks for the support...

and good luck on the interview...I'll be routing for ya!:thumbsup:

[xmas74]

39. Thank you.

[knitter4democracy]

25. My hubby too.

He finds it on the one hand, pretty handy in medicine, and on the other hand, annoying because he can't always smell what he needs to for his patients.

He burned out what little sense of smell he had in college chemistry classes. At least he didn't pass out from the smell during his surgery rotation in med school like I would've. I have to do all the smelling in our house, so it's a good thing I can smell everything.

[Longgrain]

34. I Never had a sense of smell

and when I do smell it's always the same one smell...it's odd.

I've also done a lot of painting, so turpentine and oils may have contributed to it, I'm not sure...

[knitter4democracy]

43. Wow.

Yeah, David never smells anything important, like bad food, things burning, gas, or anything. Apparently, he's always been like that, but it got much worse in college. Too much dissection, too much hydrochloric acid.

[Lavender Brown]

8. I have a big scar on the roof of my mouth

When I was 6 or so, I was running with a pen in my mouth and fell, stabbing myself in the mouth. :(

[DrZeeLit]

37. Me, too. Stiches on roof of mouth. I was four. And at four...

... I was hiding my future brilliance under a bushel (or whatever is that Bible verse?).

We were playing pirates, walking along the top of a block wall (about 5-6' tall, in LA, between track houses). So, I decide to jump. I put the stick in my mouth. Oh nooooo, not cross ways... yep... up. DUH.

I jump. Ram it into mouth. Off to the ER. Actually, I figure I'm lucky to be alive. Makes me shudder to think.

But I did live... to fight again!

My dad told us not to fall down and get scars cuz then we couldn't be Miss America. I was crushed when I had a major crash on my roller skates. Boo hoo... no more Miss America. Then, I joined a softball team and forgot all about it. Scars are great for stories, aren't they?
Maybe that would be a good thread?

[cedahlia]

9. I HATE cold ketchup

I don't keep the ketchup in the fridge, for that very reason...me likes it room temperature or, even better, WARM! :-) I recentley started keeping the BBQ sauce in the cabinet, rather than the fridge, too. But then, mustard out of the fridge is perfectly fine with me...I guess I'm just weird!

[VelmaD]

11. Uh...can I ask a dumb question then?

If you can't let metal utensils touch your teeth and you won't eat from wooden ones either...how the hell do you eat? with your hands? *confused look*

[arwalden]

19. I Use Metal Utinsels To Eat With...

... I'm just very careful not to let the metal touch my TEETH. It can touch my lips but not my teeth. Now... with wooden spoons, just the though of even my lips running across the rough unfinished wood is awful.

Think of nails on a chalkboard... or biting down on a marble sized ball of aluminum foil. It just freaks me out... I don't know how else to explain it to anyone.

[candle_bright]

36. I understand it

I'm that way with styrofoam cups. I cannot STAND drinking from them, and if it's a hot drink like coffee, forget about it. I used to bite the edges of styrofoam cups as a kid and now the very thought of getting them near my teeth makes me cringe.

[flamingyouth]

13. I hate oranges and orange juice.

Lucky for me, this smilie is perfect: :puke: :D

[Cary]

14. I like to practice . . .

gouging people's eyes out, blowing out their joints, and hitting them so hard just under the ribs that I bruise their hearts!

[davidinalameda]

20. that's a very healthy habit to have

very useful as well

[Cary]

22. It could come in handy one day.

[kedrys]

15. Nobody's allowed in the kitchen when I cook.

I'm not talking about when I nuke something real quick, that's no big deal...but if I cook from scratch, especially if it's a new recipe, I go postal if anyone's near the kitchen. They're allowed to watch from across the open bar, but no talking.

I think it's a holdover from my lab rat days. If I'm in the middle of handling radioactive isotopes and neurotoxins, don't f^@#ing bug me.

No sudden loud noises either. I'll jump 30 feet straight up and kill you when I land.

[Amfortas]

55. me too....

always clear the kitchen if cooking , my wife goes bezerk on me !

[khashka]

16. I hate chemical smells

I'd rather smell rancid sweat than suffer through smelling one of those Glade Airwick monstrosities.

I'd rather smell something that smells bad than smell something manufactured. It literally makes me nauseous.

Khash.

[WindRavenX]

17. I am ridiculously habitual

Every Sunday, I MUST have a bagel with creme cheese and the NYTimes or I cannot function.

[terrya]

18. I like tomato soup and ketchsup, but I don't like tomatoes...

all that much.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Wilford Brimley was formed out of one of my spores, oddly enough

[TX-RAT]

26. I have a tumor on my back the size of a 1/2 a baseball.

Finally going to have it removed this summer.
Tired of my wife calling me Master-Blaster.

[the Princess]

69. Hey Tex!!!

Good to see you!!:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. I hate bathrooms that have two doors. I am afraid to use them.

I always get the impression with them that the owners of the house are saying, "Well, this is really our bathroom - notice the door to our bedroom - but, since you're so damn needy, we'll let you use it, so we put a door in the hallway as well. But we really don't like that you use it, and would rather that you wait until you are home and use your own, you needy pig."

They really, really bug me.

Plus, one never knows what to do with the doors once you are done - if the door to the bedroom was left open, do you close it, lock while doing your thing, and then re-open it, taking the chance that maybe now the owner is in the bedroom naked? Or do you leave it closed and locked, thus annoying the owners when they go to use the bathroom later that night from the bedroom?

No idea why.

I will never own a house with two entrances to a bathroom. I have one in my apartment, so I put furniture in front of the door to the bedroom in the bathroom, and also now have extra wall space in the bedroom to put stuff in front of the door.

[RagingInMiami]

98. That bugs me too cause there is usually clothes and shit

hanging from the doorknob to the bedroom door, which means you really can't close it.

So what do you, remove the clothes and hang them on the shower stall while you pee, taking the chance that they might fall and get and wrinkled?

And it sucks even worse if you're spending the night at their house, sleepinng on the couch, and have to pee in the middle of the night. If you walk in there, you might walk in on them using the bathroom, of they might the door open to the bedroom, which means you might catch them having sex.

Or even if you're lucky enough to walk in there in the middle of the night and their door is closed, there is always that chance that they might get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom while you're in there.

What's even worse is when the only bahtroom in the apartment is inside their bedroom. I spent a couple of nights with my friend and his wife in vegas and they had that type of apartment and it really sucked.

[Rabrrrrrr]

114. Thanks for agreeing withme! YAY!!

I don't like the "you have to go through our bedroom to get to the bathroom" places, either. That's really tough.

[Blue-Jay]

28. I have an absorbed twin baby arm sticking out of my back.

He likes to wave goodbye to strangers, but he can't be trusted with a fork.

[loro mi dicevano]

29. I HATE the feel of jeans and ever touching them.

Denim, just... ick. Ever since birth, I haven't been able to wear or touch them. It drives me crazy. Even worse is the material on those stretch jeans - it's like nails on a chalkboard for me. Very odd.

[gollygee]

30. I have an aversion to cotton puffs

I don't know why but I hate them. I can't touch them. If I get a bottle of OTC medicine that has a cotton puff in it, my husband has to take it out *and* I have to be in differnet room when he does it because I can't even stand to be around when he does it. Just typing about it is bothering me.

[Briarius]

88. I have the exact same thing!

I can't stand the feeling of cotton balls, it gives me the chills and squirmies just thinking about it!

[gollygee]

104. Wow! I'm not alone!

:hi:

[Zuni]

117. I have an intense aversion to cotton balls as well

the texture is literally revolting to me

[Hoping4Change]

31. I can contract a muscle in my tongue to produce a forked tongue.

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. That's the "Christian Republican" muscle, by the way

[Hoping4Change]

41. I thought I'd get some devilish remark, but Rabrrr you go too far.

:spank:

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. Nah, I never go far enough!

[progmom]

32. Handling heads of lettuce makes my top lip curl.

Isn't that odd?

Now I just buy the pre-washed/cut stuff - doesn't seem to bother me.

[Schema Thing]

40. God I feel like such a freak.

I can't think of anything very freaky about me.


Ok, here's one from the past: I went for a period of time, several months, wherein I tasted butter. All. the. time. It was horrible.

[phusion]

49. Question..

Just curious, was that after a concussion of any kind?

My friend lost his sense of smell for a year after a concussion.

Wondering if maybe "scents" can get triggered on and stay on somehow...

[Schema Thing]

64. No, I couldn't pin it's onset on anything

and I couldn't think of anything that changed when it went away.

It did begin with me just being extremely aware of any butter in a food or food product though, and then progressed to me tasting butter on my lips ALL the time.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

44. I am easily distrac... I'm heading to LBN n/t

[B Calm]

45. Cottage Cheese taste like sour milk.

[nytemare]

46. I hate the feel of lotion, dirt, hair gunk, soap, anything on my hands

Anytime I use lotion I try to rub it off my hands, and when I wash my hands I try to get the soap off really fast. I hate having dirt on my hands, which was a real problem in the Army.

I don't mind gloves, though.

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. I have to check my alarm clock in three sets of three each night and then

one for good measure. :hi:

[Dastard Stepchild]

48. I have a phone phobia...

I get heart palpitations and sweaty palms when I have to make a phone call. And my heart races when the phone rings. I never pick it up.
Is this wierd, or just plain creepy? :)

edited for sp.

[Hoping4Change]

51. I'm like that too. Is it weird? Yeah. Is it really weird? Yeah.

Is it the absolutely weirdest most deranged thing in the world? Na.

:hi:

[Dastard Stepchild]

53. A fellow phone phobic...

How delightful! Seriously... I've never met anyone else who is terrified of phones (at least, no one who would admit it).

[Hoping4Change]

56. You're probably right about people not wanting to admit it. It does

seem to be weirder than claustrophobia. Go figure.

[Zuni]

118. The sound of the phone ringing always makes my heart jump

and part of my job is answering phones. It sucks, but I get good medical benefits.

[aePrime]

91. I don't have outward symptoms

But I always try to make my wife make the call if we're ordering pizza or something.

Yesterday I drove down to the DMV to ask them a question in person rather than calling them.

[Hoping4Change]

96. Those sound like outward symptoms to me.

}( WooHoo another phonophobe.:toast:

[phusion]

50. I'm the same way w/ wood!

Popsicle handles! EEK!! Just thinking about it gives me chills...

Glad I'm not the only one.

Oh, also, I can pull down on my eyelashes and it makes a distinctive and loud "gluck" sound! :)

[Hoping4Change]

52. Gee come to think about there's alot of weird things about me.

The toe nails on both my baby toenails look like claws so much so I could probably perch in a tree if I were to let them grow.

[livinginphotographs]

54. I have a superfluous nipple.

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. OMG! You're the man with the Golden Gun!!

Run away!

[livinginphotographs]

58. Don't fuck with me...

I have a digital camera and I'm drunk......you don't want to mess with me right now.

[arwalden]

86. Chandler Bing Had A "Nubbie" Too

[Rabrrrrrr]

115. Who's Chandler Bing?

[arwalden]

121. Chandler Bing was a character on TV's "Friends"...

... he was played by Matthew Perry.

[Rabrrrrrr]

124. Oh, cool - I never realized he had a last name

Thanks!

I always thought they should have paired him and Joey (was that his name? The guy who wasn't david schwimmer.) together. They seemed like a pair made in heaven.

[AlienGirl]

65. I have a whole third boob!

It lactated and everything.

Tucker

[livinginphotographs]

76. That's awesome!

If you have triplets, think about the time it will save!

[woofless]

94. Me too, Supernumary nipple.

And it leaks, How freakin' weird is that?

[AlienGirl]

99. Oneeighty has four nipples.

[livinginphotographs]

108. That freak!

Just kidding. Some of my best friends have four nipples.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

59. Liquid dribbling down my chin

especially if it continues further toward my neck. Freaks me out.

Also Kelly Ripa (Regis and Kelly). I can't even stand to hear her voice and if she is on a commercial, I have to turn it off. No basis for this animosity, she is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. However, not as bad as having to watch the Chimp on t.v.

[Canadian Socialist]

60. Hmm. Good question.

I don't really know if this is weird, but I can't eat meat with bones in it. Maybe it's because then I know it was a living creature. Whatever. I do love my meat. Chicken, beef, fish... as long as there are no bones.

However, I have no problem w/foods that most people don't like. i.e. lobster, shrimp, mussels, escargot. Love. Love Love.

Going with the OP's post, cannot eat vegetables cut with a metal knife. Ruins the taste. Either rip it or use a wooden knife.

Of course, then there is old standby... nails on a blackboard.

edited to add: I guess I'm not that odd. I think it's a sad day when I am one of the more "normal" people here. Do you really want me to be the normal person? Heee.

[Zuni]

119. who doesn't like lobster?

I love lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams and Chesapeake Bay Blue crabs, especially.

[Amfortas]

61. I exist.

[iconoclastic cat]

62. I have an uncontrollable fetish for female abdomens.

I'm serious: if I see a bare tummy, holy crap...

[jpgray]

63. I think Allen is the bee's knees

The WEIRDNESS of it all.

:cry:

[jdj]

66. I am possession phobic.

I am 36 and own nothing that can't fit in my car, and nothing worth any money, especially jewelry, which is verboten. I say I am "un-materialistic" so people won't think I am weird, but it is a phobia. I have two rubbermaid cartons for my clothes, no dresser. If they reach the top of the carton I take some to goodwill. I can't keep anything of value, it makes me sick to my stomach. I have given away everything of value that I have ever had.

(I was assaulted for a week when I was a kid by a man who bought me very expensive gifts, so it's no mystery to me why I am this way. But at my age it's flat ridiculous to own no furniture.)

[Hoping4Change]

103. It doesn't seem ridiculous at all.

It sounds like you were emotionally overwhelmed by a profoundly traumatic event as a child and your phobia has been a way to cope. The fact that you still have visceral reactions to mounting possessions suggests to me that the pain of the ordeal has not ended for you.

[mondo joe]

67. I feel the same way about felt and wool.

Can't abide the touch or even the SOUND of felt or wool.

Wool rubbing against anything is barely audible but for me it's like that whistle only dogs can hear.

And if anyone pulls "pills" off wool I squirm with discomfort.

[the Princess]

68. Oh so many so many

Well, when I was a kid I used to pull out my little toe toenails. And I did it so often I no longer have any toenails ot speak of on my little toes.

Don't askme why I have no idea.

[AlienGirl]

70. Do you REALLY want to open this can of worms?

I have three breasts.
I have Asperger's syndrome.
I have prosopagnosia (can't recall faces).
I had a form of cancer that only one in a million people gets without risk factors--and I had no risk factors.
I started talking at five months old.
I had a one-liner published in Mad Magazine when I was 12, and sold my first piece of writing for money at age 14.
I have two kids with one of the rarest muscle disorders in the world.
I am 4'10" tall, which is quite a bit below average.
I had a kestrel as a roommate once when I was a kid.
I have a phobia of bureaucracy that can result in full-fledged panic attacks.
Sometimes I pass out from low blood sugar; it's happened twice at work.
I was first diagnosed with depression when I was four.
I didn't have a birth certificate on file until I was 16.
I've ridden an elephant and a yak.
I met the leader of the Heaven's Gate cult.
I moved across the country to move in with people I had never met in person.
I met my boyfriend on the Internet (:hi: Everythingsxen :loveya: )
I am deathly afraid of spider webs.
I'm also deathly afraid of vomiting.
I tried to have a homebirth, but had to go to the hospital after 36 hours.
I've been on the front page of my hometown newspaper once, been on the front page of the newspaper in Coeur d'Alene once, and been mentioned on CNN as having "nothing to say" to them--all involving different newsworthy events.
I've been writing down my dreams since fourth grade.

Whatever weirdness I am lacking, I can outsource to my friends and family, as they are all also strange.

Tucker

[RagingInMiami]

100. very interesting

Do you still write? How old are you now? What is Asperger's syndrome?

[oxymoron]

71. OMG! Wooden spoons and popsicle sticks!

My family and friends have made fun of me since I was a child. I can't stand the thought of licking anything wood. Popsicle sticks and ice cream spoons are the worst! You have my deepest sympathy. :crazy:

[arwalden]

105. I'm So GLAD That I'm Not Alone...

... this is a comforting and reassuring thing to know.

[Zuni]

113. I HATE Cotton Balls and Cotton candy

the texture is appalling to me. I do love Q-Tips though

[Name removed]

[Rhiannon12866]

73. I hate peas.

Any sort, the look, the smell. Please keep them away from me!:puke:

[CanuckAmok]

74. I can't stand anything touching my eyeballs. And I hate cellphones.

I could get laser surgery or contacts to correct my vision, but it's too freaky. So call me "four-eyes".

When I'm not working on a contract, I mail my phone to my mom for safekeeping, because I know if I keep it unused in the house, I'll throw it away. I don't allow my houseguests or passengers in my car to use them. I hate them. HATE THEM!!!!!!

[Zuni]

122. Really? I prefer cell phones to land lines

The ring of land line phones always makes my heart jump.

[fleabert]

75. Jello makes me gag.

just the thought of eating it can make me sick. I gagged four times last night when the new egg-shaped jello commercial came on. we had company that did not know this about me and she was a little freaked out. My dh just laughs. I am a little nausious just typing this. I closed my eyes within four seconds of the commercial starting, but just hearing about it made my gag reflex get going. I left the room before it was over and gagged in the kitchen thinking about it.

I can't eat anything slimy: tapioca, bananas, peaches, pudding, JELLO!, shrimp, lobster, oysters, etc... all because of how they feel, not how they taste.

I am a texture person first, taste second.

and, I have VERY specific ways that I MUST eat candy. Each one has it's own method.

I have food issues for some reason, no clue why.

[Misunderestimator]

77. Did you ever have braces? That must have sucked big time.

:)

[arwalden]

107. Nope. :-)

But every dental hygenist I've ever had asks me the same thing. I'm very fortunate not to have needed braces.

[LadyLeo]

78. hmmmm, just a couple...

I have no little toenails and the other three toes, I cut down to the quick. I cannot stand my toenails to grow and have to keep them cut all the time. My big toenails are fine, but I keep them trimmed. Cant stand for my toenails to be touched...yeeeiiick.

Bananas make me gag. The texture of them just ...bleh...I could not eat a banana if I tried.

I have a pillow fetish. I have 34 pillows on my bed. My husband goes crazy cause he has to tunnel thru "Pillow Land" to get to me. I just love to be surrounded by big fluffy comfy pillows!..lol

Guitar strings (with the grooves)...make my teeth hurt. also a metal nail file, or anything with those little grooves in it. Makes me crazy, I have to leave if I hear it, gives me goosebumps and nauseaus. I love the guitar and would LOVE to learn to play, but cannot because of those damn grooves in the strings....shiver....

Chewing gum, the smell, texture, all of it....gagifying. I dont allow my kids to chew it around me. I hate it. If i step in it, the shoes go in the trash. If I inadvertantly touch it, (under a restaurant table, etc) I wash my hands for like 20 minutes, over and over and over...makes me literally sick. blehhhhhhhhhhhh!

Personal space. I hate people who dont maintain three feet of personal space.

My kids think its weird that I eat my sandwiches "upside down", I turn it upside down and eat from the bottom.

I hate taking baths. It is like sitting in dirty water. Gotta have a shower or I feel filthy. HATE IT. I will soak in a hot bath if my back hurts, but HAVE to shower after.

Also, I do NOT complain about restaurant food. I would never EVER send a steak or food back, because I just KNOW they spit in it. I either eat it like it is , or leave it. I would NEVER eat something that was sent back...NEVER.

and, finally, I love doing "weird" (read-sexual) things in public. the thrill of the possiblity of getting "caught" is a real turnon.

thats all i can think of right now...lol

[LadyLeo]

80. oh yeah, one more...

I feel naked without my cell phone. I have a phobia about it. And the weirdest part is I HATE talking on the phone. Hate it hate it hate it. But I have an irrational fear of missing an important/emergency call, (mom sick, kids hurt...etc.)whatever, but I cant function unless I have it with me.

[Misunderestimator]

81. Surely there's more?

:)... that's quite a list there.

[Bertha Venation]

79. Can't eat pastries (pie, cake, cookies) without milk. eom

[Misunderestimator]

82. I used to have a weird habit of mouthing the last few words of a sentence

I had just spoken out loud. I didn't do it all the time, but someone pointed it out to me once, and from then on I was painfully aware of something I had never been aware of before. This was many, many years ago, and it only took a few days to stop doing it entirely. This just reminded me of that... weird.

[jmowreader]

83. I drive sideways really well

This is a Raymond 4-D reach truck. All four of the wheels on it will turn 360 degrees, which allows the truck to drive sideways down the aisle. (You need to be able to do this when the product you're trying to move is wider than the aisle.)

It is very hard to drive the truck sideways with a load on it because the load tends to make the truck wander around, but for some reason I can drive sideways almost better than I can drive frontways.

I can pick up pencils with my toes, too.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

84. I have a phobia about moths

and it's their fault, they hate me and go at me so I want to kill them.

[Zuni]

120. Moths creep me out as well

I remember one night last summer when a moth flew into my bed room and i could not sleep because it kept popping up and i could hear the evil little thing flopping around.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

123. It's good to know someone dislikes them as much as me

:)

[nuxvomica]

85. I can't bear the sight of the inside of a pomagranate

Or the spore sacks on the back of a fern.

[Hoping4Change]

97. Don't understand your pomegranate issue but I'm with you about

the underside of ferns. YYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK.

[ausiedownunderground]

87. I have this incredible desire to sleep with two ladies!

My very first experience was with two ladies. This was not good. It has lead to heaps of trouble and incredibly great feelings. It takes lots of effort, occassional deviousness and plenty of mind changing gear. It is rare! But in 20 years it could happen 6 times! The ladies must be close anyway. Close Friends or blatently attracted to themselves is a good start! Ladies are incredibly interesting. Their dynamics between themselves could lead to a "Pulitizer" prize novel. I am not fantastically good looking! But thats not how these dynamics work. I'm not trying to create something here, but it is a weird feeling that "Bugs" me.

89. The sound or sight of people eating

The slipping, chewing, gulping sound makes me nauseous

The "cutesy" commercials of toddlers eating w/ food everywhere makes me go into cold sweats

My partner likes to eat ice at night--it's all I can do not to smack it out of his hands.

90. I have a Donald Duck tearduct...

when I press on it it quacks. some days louder than others.

I have exactly the same problem with the wooden spoons and metal utensils.

Plus, there's ice cream. When I eat ice cream, which I love, it's a slow process because it can't touch my teeth. It sits on my tongue while I suck it away to nothingness.

93. I cannot have my belly button touched

I have a thing about that ever since I was a little kid and my mom told me to leave my belly button alone because if I fooled with it, it would come untied and my skin would fall off. :silly:

Actually, that's more of a wierd thing about my mom.....

95. I open threads asking me to detail why I'm weird.

[Bouncy Ball]

101. Where would I start?

My food cannot touch unless it was meant to touch. (ie: I do mix rice and beans together.) I eat one thing at a time, completely. I do not take a bite of this and a bite of that, etc.

I have to sleep in one certain position, ONLY.

I cannot stand seams, tags, twisted up clothing on me. I'm weird about textures and fabrics.

Brushing my teeth makes my nose run.

When I'm in extreme pain, I wiggle my toes really really hard. My husband has said that's how he knows if I am in a really bad way.

I can't stand eating off wooden things either.

I think Santa Claus is real (shhhh!!!).

I thought of some more: I can't stand to cook alone. The other person doesn't need to be cooking, I just HAVE to be kept company while I'm cooking, or I get very sad.

I cannot touch any surface in a public bathroom. I hover, I flush with my foot, I turn on water faucets with my elbows, and grab a paper towel to open the door with.

I'm absolutely terrified of heights. I can have a panic attack just looking at heights as filmed in a MOVIE.

I also am slightly afraid of the phone. And I am also terribly afraid of vomiting.

102. What does your problem with metal utensils have to do with your aversion

towards wood?

:-)

[arwalden]

106. I Do Not Know...

I don't mind the metal utensils touching my lips or tongue... just my teeth. But the though of ANY part of my mouth coming in contact with anything made of wood makes my teeth hurt and chills go down my spine. (Much like the sound of fingernails screeching and scratching on a blackboard.)

I don't have ANY of those weird problem with plastic utensils though.

[William Bloode]

109. I love being beaten and abused.

Not in a sexual way mind you. It stems from my years of training where i would have people beat me to toughen my up. Over the years i have become quite fond of it. I can take massive amounts of abuse and ask for more.

Folks around here think i am crazy because i let my son beat me with broom handles, belts, punches, water hoses, whatever. Nothing gets me goin' like a few whacks upside the head.

I used to work overtime at work so i could afford to work in an independent wrestling org. and be trashed 2-3 nights a week.

[SarahB]

110. I'm a superfreak.

However, I'm the kind you could bring home to mother. :7

[Zuni]

112. I am Germphobic

Once I bought a book at barnes and Noble, and the cashier had sores on his hand so I bleached the books and ruined them. This was only a month ago.

[Zuni]

116. I am repulsed by garlic and onions

but I can eat them in sauces where I cannot distinguish them by themselves. Pasta sauce, salsa, BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard, chinese food---as long as I do not taste or smell garlic or onion distinctivly, I have no problem.
But if a food is too heavy in garlic or onion, I cannot eat it.

[AwakeAtLast]

125. I cannot eat chocolate if it has fruit or fruit flavor in it.

The two do NOT go together. Blech! :puke:

My food cannot touch (I'm with ya, Bouncy Ball!)

I must have ice in drinks that are meant to be cold (in other words, what is up with less ice the further north you go?).

I'm sure there is more, but nothing else is coming to me.

:hi:
