Like the tattoo, people says that they remembered when i was clean shaven. I haven't been clean shavened for a very long time. Wierd huh? besides that, im mr Norman to everyone else.
I'm fairly shortsighted and have slight astigmatism.
I have a weird combination of super-sensitive hearing for some things (e.g. I can hear bats) but often can't hear what someone right next to me said if there's any background noise.
I have mad hair. It keeps trying to migrate to over my face and ideally in my mouth every time I open it, and goes everywhere at the faintest breath of wind. It also tangles like crazy.
Loads of my joins click - or rather make loud clunking noises like someone dropping a heavy box or operating a mechanical press. Very loud. It scares people.
My lumbar vetebrae tend to get sprained or something every few years - suddenly I'll lose all control over the muscles below my waist and fall over in agony. Not fun. I then have to very slowly and carefully crawl to bed and lie there for a week or so until it recovers.
Medical:
I eat healthily except for chocolate, but I don't exercise all that much, so I'm overweight.
Mild Reynaud's disease in three fingers. See ↓pboily's post.
I'm officially depressed with anxiety symtoms too.
I sleep for a very long time (normally twelve hours unless I'm woken) and very, very, very deeply. My mother says I'm pale, cold and unrousable - many mornings she checked I was still alive rather than if I was awake. I can sleep through an hour of an alarm clock blaring at me, or minutes of someone yelling at me while shaking me. I can also answer questions (correctly), and walk across the room to turn off lights, computers, alarm clocks etc while asleep.
Mental:
I'm the sort of person who files their books and CDs alphabetically by author and year, but hasn't seen the floor for months because of the drifts of paper.
I like to play games, like "not stepping on people's shadows" or "walk the whole way home with my eyes shut" or "count backwards the steps I'll take on the way to X, even though I've got no idea how far away it is" etc. Games that I make up on the spur of the moment.
I have an astonishing ability to make other people find things. If someone has lost something, they'll come and ask me to help; as soon as I come, they'll find it.
I might think of more later; if so I'll edit them in.
Near-sighted
Completely absurd sense of humour
IRL I'm just off the wall
Fingers that bend, maybe, 45 degrees in the wrong way
General rubber joints
Lack of empathy
EDIT:
Loud joints, like Sophie
Strange obsessions (Counting my steps, always finishing a staircase with a left-foot step, walking on tiles in geometrical patterns..)
Sadism - I score 'bout 80% on recognizable symptoms. But I'm very sly oh yes.
Semi-masochism - I enjoy pain to a certain degree. Kinky stuff too.
Flexible bones - Lets say I can bend my foot more then I should be able to. Other bones too.
Health - I get sick maybe once a year.
Mental oddities - I hate to go anywhere without my bandana. Long hair that gets in the face and stuff. | I'm a bit perverted. | Craaaaazy. | Emotionally insensitive. It's hard for me to care for people other then my close family and friends. Like Azash said, lack of empathy. | I smoke when I reach the edge of a nervous breakdown. | Overdrive thinking mode. I feel like I over-think about everything, planing revenge schemes, analyzing everything I see. Just plain weirdness I guess. | I'm devious. |
Despite all of this I'm pretty well liked by people, social skills ftw. It just takes a little getting used to me. Booze helps.
What is "normal?" Who defines "normal?" Is normal just what everybody else does? Or what everybody else seems to do? Don't get caught up on being "normal," just be yourself first and foremost, the rest will come with time.
- Personality disorder.
- high pain tolerance
- The left joint of my jaw is a bit worn out and sometimes my jaw "locks up".
I have to move it sideways to the left by hand to get it moving again.
First migraine, it was the worst. In 7th grade. It was 8th grade screening day at school. I had a 5-minute wait to see the nurse. And what did the 8th graders do while they waited? They talked. So I had a migraine, was forced to stay in a room full of sound and light, and when I finally went home after 30 minutes of torture, I felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
Yes. But they don't happen in the same time. It's always good to have radically different points of view around you.
I'm a radically different than everyone else point of view.
