What's odd about you?
 

List the things about you that are odd (or that you perceive as odd).

What about you is different from the mainstream, your peers, or simply those around you?

1. I've never owned a car, and I've rarely driven one; I only recently got my driver's licence and I'm well into my thirties.
2. I rarely watch TV, and have done so since I was a teenager.
3. I'll eat just about anything. There are few things I won't eat, even if it's cheap/crappy. The only time I complain in a restaurant is if I didn't get something and I really wanted it.
4. It's nearly impossible for me to get bored; being bored is a state that's foreign to me.
5. I didn't lose my virginity until I was in my twenties.
6. I was married and divorced by my mid-twenties.
7. I have both a college diploma (business) and a university degree (liberal arts) but earn a salary that would barely place me in the middle class.
8. I have five siblings.
9. I don't get out much; I interact with very few people week to week.

I didn't own a car till I had kids, till then it was bike all the way.
And I could have said the same about tv till about three years ago.
American husband changed that one.

My list:

1. I spend most of my time on a computer.
2. I earn more than my husband.
3. I'm a woman who pays child support.
4. My children's mother tongue is different from mine (meaning I speak a different language to them than what I grew up with)
5. I'm obese.
6. I'm a woman who hates shopping.
7. I don't have friends. (by choice)
8. I don't drink coffee because I don't like it. That's probably the weirdest thing of all.

1. I'm a musician who likes to wake up before 8:00 a.m.
2. I might be able to have up to 3 citizenships.
3. Until recently I would always "invert mouse" in games.

4. I can snore sitting up, standing up, on my side, or even my stomach.
5. I snore so loudly that I wake myself up.

7. I actually liked 'Waterworld'

I’ve been able to stand on my head since first grade.
I can play the piano with my feet. Taught myself to do this when I was young and needed another player for chopsticks duet.
I have been on TV, but I never watch it, either.
I watch more porn than the average male (I'm female).
I have no tattoos.
I secretly adore funerals.
I am a Water Witcher.
I thought Osama Bin Laden was a hottie.

I make my living, in part, by watching television.
I've been married three times to the same woman.
I have piercings despite the fact on the surface I don't look the type.
I wear a bow tie to work, just about ever day.
I cry over sappy movies.
I live abroad and don't have any plan to move 'home'.
Frequently, I know more about my new home than people who have lived here all their lives.

1. I have no idea what I want to do with my life
2. I am scared out of my mind when it comes to going to war (if i ever get that far)
3. I enjoy meeting new people for the sake of knowing how they can benefit me
4. I read alot. the ink on paper kind of writing is what i like to read
5. I keep a betta fish, a bonsai tree, and a lucky bamboo

I LOVE the smell of my own farts. Sometimes i will fart in bed just to keep it stored for that much longer.

I get paranoid sometimes that i'm about to have a heart attack.

When i'm walking in town i sometimes take a large step when i pass taller people than me just to feel less intimidated.

You know the times where you ran around as a kid by yourself playing with your imagination? I still do that when people aren't around.

*I have a soft spot for elderly dogs, and believe they all deserve a lap to die on - so often there are periods when I have smelt of dog wee - but I didnt care, because it meant the dog was living and still fighting death.
*I like beating death in skirmishes - although I know in advance the war is lost when it comes to my little canine friends - but winning a skirmish. Hurrah!
*I interact with few people - out of fear and therefor choice.
*Although I fear confrontation, I go in like a smiling assassin to get animals out of danger and to get them help.
*I still call my old gal in - although she is in a box on a shelf next to the sofa with her lead on top. I sometimes walk around talking to my late father out loud and its always upsetting - but maybe thats because when I am down I feel the need for my dad, for the company of my dead.
*I try to be kind and generous, although I dont have much.

I talk to myself much more than the average person

I read magazines backwards

I ride a big, loud motorcycle and wear a 20 year old leather jacket. The laptop strapped on the back ruins the effect.

I live in a log home in the mountains, heat with wood, and chase bears out of my garbage. I also have broadband.

I have an engineering degree, work a high tech job, and refuse to own a cellphone.

My espresso machine cost twice as much as my TV.

I'm up before 5:30 AM every day and start working as soon as I leave the house.
I can't ignore a ringing phone.
I hate groups of people but love individuals.
There are only 2 golf courses that I've played on that wouldn't be better cross country courses - Pebble Beach and Shinnecock.
I am a creature of routine.
I worry very much about the future of this place. It's kept me up at night.

I love the show "Hoarders."
I am a digital hoarder of music and images.
I eat huge sourdough pretzels every day.
Like snowy, I love to study.
I hate carbonated beverages.

1. i think that i am the sanest person i know.
2. i speak in baroque sentences.
3. sometimes i imagine myself to be invisible.
4. i like routine except when i don't.
5. i still describe myself as a vegetarian even when i am eating a veggie burger with bacon. i won't throw myself out of the club and there's nobody else to do it.

After reading this thread, I realized I got nothin'...

(shakes head ruefully)

1. I don't have a tv.
2. I've lived the bulk of my adult life in countries other than my native country.
3. I made my first webpage when the only browser available was Netscape.

1. I analyze social/sexual interactions and presentations obsessively. Sentences like, "I'm thinking I need to wear more expensive-looking accessories to offset my minimalist and clean-cut wardrobe in order to appear higher status and therefore gain access to potentially higher status mates" come out of my mouth. Often. (That sentence was taken from last night, actually).

2. I'm incredibly sexually experienced. Enough so that I get random emails from people I don't know and referrals from friends to counsel and/or teach the inexperienced or the insecure of both sexes.

3. I eat out alone a lot, usually with a good book. I go to movies alone a lot, as well.

4. I have two AAs, a BA, two years of school past my BA in order to qualify for a graduate program (that I was just accepted into, yay!) and no student debt.

5. I voluntarily spent almost a year couchsurfing around Los Angeles about two years ago. I sometimes think of going back to it, because it was such an interesting experience.

6. I love to drive. Long roadtrips by myself, commuting to work, whatever, I love it.

7. I can't see in 3D. My eyes don't quite work together. It's not noticable, unless I'm on your badmiton team... then you're fucked.

8. I hang out on porn sets every chance I get. I'm totally fascinated by the behind the scenes work and socialization.

9. I don't drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, and the only caffeine I intake is from the occasional cup of hot chocolate.

10. I pick my partners based on intelligence, life experience, and sexual experience. The higher they rate in each, the less looks factor in until they are barely a consideration.

I'm a broadsword-fighting, adventure-novel-writing, porn-loving, pot-smoking rabbi.

What about me isn't odd?

I talk to my cats like they're people. Because they understand me.
I'm not afraid of death... I've kissed dead kids goodbye.
Between family and friends, I've been to over 50 funerals... closer to 80, I think.
I don't want kids of my own, but love working with them.
I can get lost in a book for days... even one I don't necessarily like.
I'm compulsively disorganized.
I'm totally addicted to kettle corn (not mass produced), raw carrots, and pepitas.
I like my bourbon straight... which apparently is odd for a chick.
I don't eat chocolate.
I love picking apart people's personalities, thought processes, and behavior patterns. And I do it ALL of the time, in every scenario. I have a theory about every single person I've ever come into contact of any kind more than once.
I know there's more... even S's sisters have proclaimed me "weird."

I'm blonde.
I'm nerdy.
I say Warsh (not wash) and Saireal (not Cereal), and Davenport (not couch) and Macadam (like the inventor John McAdam, not Blacktop).
I like computers and animals.
I like retarded kids.
I am a girl who likes spiders and is not goth.
I'm sure there's more, I've been told. I just think and do things kindof wierd at times. Then there's my pre-teen/teen daughter who recently asked me NOT to go on a field trip cause I sometimes "am wierd..."
According to her there's TON'S of it but she won't tell me what...

Wrong adjective. The word you're looking for is awesome.

As for me, I have a thing about people who use the word 'loose' when they mean 'lose.' It's getting worse, by which I mean I see that fucking error everywhere. C'mon people, this isn't hard.

Yes, I think it's reaching epidemic proportions.

I think it's because of the pronunciation variance. It's not like people confuse choose and chose nearly as much.

I text with proper grammar.
While decidedly non-religious, I have a daughter studying to be a Christian missionary, and I couldn't be more proud.
Despite working all of my life on and around automobiles, I find most motorsports to be a boring waste of time... especially NASCAR and CART. The Gran Turismo games are awesome, though!

I like how hot the car feels when you first get in after it has been in the sun for a while.
That's it.

I like being odd, unless you have all day.

I drive, but I've never owned a car. I'm 33. The other things apply to me as well. In my late teens and early twenties, I went several years without turning a television on other than to watch a movie, and nowadays the main reason I watch TV is for soccer. I'll go weeks at a time without turning it on for any other reason, and usually the other reason is to watch a movie. I work from home and many days the only people I see are my son and husband.

These apply to me as well:

- With few exceptions, I hate the romantic comedies and other chick flicks my girlfriends drool over
- I rarely wear makeup
- I'm in a 15+ year relationship and am happy
- I despise 99% of dogs; I tolerate the other 1%
- I skipped the teenage experimentation/rebellion thing and didn't start drinking until I was legally old enough to do so
- I rarely speed when I drive. When I do speed, it's unintentional

1. Salespeople and suit-wearing business people intimidate me.
2. I've had some staggeringly lucid deja-vu moments in my life but have since forgotten them.
3. I have very little self-control when appetizers are on the table.
4. I never "sowed my wild oats" and don't' regret it, although I do kind of resent it.

1. I have no ocular dominance... or at least I seem to be able to "swap" which eye I'm relying on almost at will.

2. Similarly I was born ambidextrous but writing left handed, forced to learn to write right handed, and continue to write right handed but do many things ambidextrously.

3. I shave with a straight razor (goes with waistcoats and celibacy outside of long term relationships as maybe more retro than wierd but whatever)

4. Didn't get my drivers license until after I was 21 and still don't own a car

5. I don't eat "corn". If it's got corn or a corn product on the ingredients list more than HFCS somewhere I probably won't eat it. Same goes for Soy.

6. My arms and legs are wierd. I'm extremely out-toed to the degree that pointing my toes straight forwards turns my knees too far inwards to be able to functionally walk or duck, and my lower leg is offset at the knee outwards and backwards a bit so it looks like bowleggedness.

7. I can dislocate a lot of my joints under the weight of that limb alone, it can be painful trying to sit or stand but because of #6 I can't wear any kind of knee brace, they don't fit. I really need to be careful with it because my muscles are just fine.

Even after all of these years on here together, I still am not comfortable enough with you people to share my oddities.

Except my in-ability to grow luxuriant facial hair.

I still love you guys, though.


/hold me?

Fremen - so you always have sand in crevices and you drink your own pee. You could have shared - not the pee - although maybe some would have thanked you for the offer.

I'm very assertive, except for things for me, then I'm demure and shy.

I tell people I gave birth to my own grandchildren (because I was old enough to be a grandma when I had them).
I went to school at age 49 and changed my entire career two years later.
I have 3 gray hairs (but get "accused" of dyeing it strictly because of my age)
I got my first tattoo 7 years ago.
I am the only smoker on earth who gags at the slightest hint of coffee.
I am left handed and could not teach my kids to tie their shoes.
I write for a motorcycle magazine yet the only experience I had actually driving a bike left me with a titanium ankle.
I enjoyed the movie "Popeye".

I earn more than my husband
I hate shopping
I always to change something in my life, begining with house
I love black chocolate and never eat mealk chocolate.

I wear my hair in a pony tail, not because I particularly like it, but I am so allergic to my own hair that it saves me a lot of grief.

I enjoy reading carry-out menus so much that I lose the urge to phone in an order and cook up something myself.

I indulge myself in surprised perplexity whenever I watch Joe Rogan commentating for UFC, and face the fact that, on account of his other jobs as a comedian and host of Fear Factor, I have had more exposure to his work than to that of any other performing artist, apart from Amanda Tapping.

1 - I would guess if I was being honest I would say I probably suffer from bouts of quite deep depression. Both my parents have been diagnosed with it and on anti-depressants... I just choose to deal with it on my own

2 - Everyone who has ever asked me about it assumes I am an only child, but I am not.

3 - I wrote an (unpublished) novel at 18 called "Cancer". It was shit.

4 - I have a fairly extensive knowledge about Antartic exploration, Jack the Ripper, the American mafia from 1930's-70's, ghosts and hauntings... and maybe a dozen other pointless things that does me no practical use.

5 - I believe certainly that I know who Jack the Ripper was.

6 - I hero worship Duke William of Normandy and have done since about age 12. I consider him to be the greatest leader and military general in history. I have ridiculed Genghis Khan in the presence of people who admire him for no better reason than he is ranked as a more difficult opponent than Duke William on the chess agame on my Blackberry.

7 - I feel almost like Ivan from The Brothers Karamazov was written about me.

8 - I was a communist when I was a student. These days I cant be bothered to believe in any ideology

9 - I desperately want to have true faith in God (maybe this is the same as point 7...)

10 -I have two tattoo's based on "The Catcher in the Rye" and also a Viking war banner.

I wasn't going to post because so many things are odd about me that I wouldn't know where to begin. But here are a few things:

1) I love cars and motorcycles, real ones. I can rebuild a motorcycle by myself and I have taken first place against men twice my age at the races.
2) I tinker, right now I tinker with a reef aquariums and I have been known to design them from the glass up.
3) I am getting a pet octopus, because I think they're cute.
4) I love sex and I don't mind talking about it, graphically.

I am a socialist yet vehemently defend the rights of capitalists to make money (as long as everyone's basic needs, including healthcare and education are met.)

I am a liberal and a gun owner.

I am a terrorist sympathizer (according to the standards set by the US government.)

1. I don't like onions, or lettuce. (Everyone says, "but lettuce doesn't taste like anything!" Yes it does. It tastes like lettuce, and that is very distinctive to me.)
2. I can't sleep with the closet door open.
3. I rarely listen to a full song on the radio. I'll sing along for a bit, then change the station.
4. I have very intense, realistic dreams. Nearly every night, and I've NEVER realized I'm dreaming until I wake up.
5. I like making out more than sex. (I mean, I love sex. I just love making out MORE.)
6. Every book series I own has to match-- as in, all paperback, all hardcover, or all the same covers/editions.
7. I sing to my dog. He has a "bedtime song," very simple and silly, but when he hears it, he goes straight to bed. (there's also a song about him being the "fluffiest, ruffiest puppy," but that's more general affection and doesn't produce any results except tail wagging.)
8. I can't play 3D games, they make me sick. Lately, I've been playing Majesty and Roller Coaster Tycoon. I'm rather unhappy about being unable to play Portal.
9. I'm thirty years old, but when it comes to things like science museums, bubbles, fireworks, puddles, and swings, I immediately revert back to being twelve.

Nothing. Is that peculiar?

i'm just odd..

i mean, shit, just look at me...

http://i.min.us/iX3fs.jpg

We hid our bicycles behind the Odd Fellows Hall.
Keeping ourselves flat against the building we crept around,
waiting for them to come out.

We were expecting something grander & much more mysterious than the familiar
faces of the town ministers, the butcher, the pharmacist, and car salesmen.

Had the same problem with virtually all games after the Halo Fratbrahs took over. Have you tried forcing the field of view to be much wider? By default even Valve sets it at 75 or lower nowadays, many console-centric games are as low as 65, and old PC games used to be standardized at 90. Fixing that alone and disabling bloom has helped a lot of people completely eliminate motion sickness from playing.

I've never been married, and I have no children. Sometimes at my age (46)when I tell people that, I get "the look of concern"

Despite the above, since age 17 I've pretty much had a steady woman in my life at all times and I've been truly in love with 3 different women in my life.

I pined for an ex GF from age 23 to 32 (thought about her every day).

I like animals more than I like people.

I am a single male who has pet cats. (I'd have a dog too, but work....)

I feed the local raccoons even though they say you should not. (I don't care what they say)

I don't particularly like children.

I've never even tried a single drag on a cigarette, never taken a hit on a joint, never tried any drug ever and seldom drink alcohol. (Often times people think I am an alcoholic because I don't drink.)

I am a perfectionist

I take too long to get things done (always have), but it will be done right.

I despise perfume of any kind.

People who speak loudly drive me crazy.

I don't socialize well in large groups, but do very well in small groups.

1. I work in with large groups of people all day and have been told I'm good at it, but I dislike humanity
2. Prefer animals to people
3. Think bagpipes sound great
4. Kilts are cool
5. I am tend to be non-emotional about things
6. Retarded people are funny as hell (I worked in a group home for a few years, one of the best jobs I've had, watching a retarded person to an impresion of a retarded person is the funniest thing ever)
7. I have kids, but don't really like kids (Found that out after I had kids)
8. I know God loves me because he gave women breasts

We can be so different and yet so alike.
1) I love to drive. I take long cross country road trips because I absolutely hate to fly. I've driven since I was 15 (farm to school permit:))
2) I rarely watch TV. Sometimes it stays off for a week or more.
3) I don't eat rice, potatoes, or anything made with white flour or high fructose corn syrup. I've followed a high fat low-carb ketogenic diet for over five years.
4) It's nearly impossible for me to get bored. Boredom is as foreign to me as Albania or Zanzibar.
5) I lost my virginity on my fifteenth birthday.
6) I was married and divorced by my mid-twenties.
7) I'm a numbers nerd to the point of being OCD about measuring and counting things.
8) I wear a size 32d bra, definitely different from my peers.:rolleyes:
9) I can't pass up a pun or word play. I bought my last couple of 32d bras (which can be hard to find) at the Nordstrom Rack store:rolleyes:, which I thought was hilarious.:shakehead:
10) I'm strongly introverted with people I don't know, especially small groups of strangers.

In spite of all that, I have gotten to really like myself. The only thing I'd really like to change about myself... I would like to be... taller.

Lindy

James T Kirk - '(I'd have a dog too, but work....)
Right now I suspect some elderly or infirm person near you is looking into the eyes of their beloved canine companion and wondering if they are being fair on the dog keeping it when they cant exercise it. If you fancy the odd bit of canine companionship - why not look at charitable providers of this sort of service in your area if you miss walking a dog and having a confidant with big brown understanding eyes, but cant have one of your own. Just because you cant keep a dog doesnt mean you cant share a bit of canine happiness.
Also well done you for choosing not to keep a dog because your circumstances are not right for one at the moment. I picked up one American Bulldog that had been kept on a balcony and deprived of water as it was thought by the owners to be a good way of stopping this starved animal from peeing in the house. Sometimes I want to lobotomise people and stop them from breeding. I dont think that is odd - is it?

There is an idea of Plan9; some kind of abstraction constructed of dreams and memories, duct tape and cans of tuna fish. But there is no real me: only a scrawny entity with a patchy beard and brutal tan lines, something illusory that longs for things it cannot have again and hungers for purpose in world driven by money stuffed in a cubicle coffin. And though I can hide my worried gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are polar opposites... I am a sellout. I will do the job you don't understand in the place you don't understand. I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for hunger and disgust. Something wonderful is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly lust has overflown into my days. I feel so damn thirsty, on the verge of crushing a fifth by myself. I think my mask of sobriety is about to slip. I have to return some videotapes. And just cool it with the anti-Semitic remarks.

Plan9, you sound like the Terminator...


1) I love Terminator I
2) I live in a different continant to my wife and son
3) I like doing things people think is crazy
4) I am planning more crazy adventures that make most people think i belong in a mental institution
5) I have a high threshold for pain
6) I dont watch TV
7) I dont drink soft drinks
8) i dont eat chocolates or lollies, or anything sweet for that matter
9) i cook my own dinner every single night and rarely eat out during the week

Patrick Bateman, is that you?

Most of odd things about members in here doesn't seem so odd, but I'm not here to judge :)

- I threw my TV out when I was 11 years old and up til now (11 years later) I haven't watched it.
- Having gasoline in my car makes me ignorant fool who doesn't speak to anyone, but just driving around with no final destination
- I don't like sex , even it's fantastic in most cases.
- I don't believe in religion or resurrection , but I do believe that I was participating in WW2 in my previous life !

This post definitely will be edited so I can add more odd things and facts about myself which just don't come up in mind atm.

I don't know if I could bear that.


Actually, I could get on by if my old lady wanted to live elsewhere but left my daughter with me.

its tough, i must admit. thats why i have resigned from work a few days ago and decided to head back to sydney.

with another one on the way, its going to be even tougher.

Does that mean a congratulations is in order? :)

it does! October seems like the likely month.

I thought of another one:

I have been with my common-law wife for over 10 years, and yet we don't have an anniversary, nor have we ever celebrated one.

I didn't lose my virginity until I was twenty one.

The tendons in my fingers and toes do not reach to the end joints so while they bend, I cannot bend them. As a consequence the joints at the tips have no definition. No wrinkles.

My right ear is inside out. Sort of. (just the fleshy bit.). It's genetic. My twin brother has it too and i have passed it on to my middle son.

I can't drive.

I also cannot see in proper 3d. Although my glasses correct it, I don't like wearing them.

I have Meares-Irlen syndrome.

I am dyslexic. Probably dyspraxic as I am one of the most accident prone clumsy people I know.

Girls in school and college never wanted to go out with me. Hence the late loss of my v plates. Despite the fact I look like Matthew Fox. Actually my wife says I'm better looking but she wouldn't kick him out of bed.

In my family, in my generation, I'm the only male to have produced sons. No pressure then.

I'm pretty straight-forward. The label boring would probably be used before I was called odd. That said, it has been reported that when talking/listening to people I sometimes focus with a "psychotic" intensity. Which I'm told is off-putting.

I am a driveler. Apparently. When I talk, I do go on. Who knew? Read the rest of this entry and tell me what you think.

When I walk I mosey. As in amble. As in, gaze amiably about while strolling along. No vigorous stride for this fellow.

I don't like eating fried eggs in the outdoors. I don't even like eating them beside an open window. Something about the way the moving air mixes with the eggy taste in my palate grosses me out.

I get hiccups when I eat banana bread.

I don't like phoning people to ask for things unless it's ordering food. I also don't like writing to people or walking into someone's business and asking for something. I cannot do sales, even selling myself. It actually makes me physically ill.

I like to know there is a bathroom within a reasonable distance. I was a bed-wetter when I was a kid, and road-trips would go on without stopping until after I peed my pants. That, coupled with the abuse and ridicule of my family around that subject when I was young has left me very aware of just where the washroom is at all times.

I have one short-sighted, strong eye and one far-sighted, weak eye. I never got glasses till I was 18. So my brain never learned how to synthesize the images into a 3D view of the world. Which explains why I can only catch frisbees, and that I regularly see things that either aren't there, or are more solid to others than to me. I see images within images because both eyes send separate signals which (especially when I'm tired) superimpose upon one another and cause ghosting.

I only got a high-school diploma and was a blue-collar worker all my life, but my Lady complains that when she is writing orientation pieces for patients I am unable to proofread for her, because I don't have a "normal" vocabulary. We actually played a game she invented on our first date - Dictionary Games - where she would pick a word at random from the dictionary and I would tell her what it meant. I aced them all. For some reason I have the largest functional vocabulary of anyone she's ever met, and she spent almost 20 years in the post-secondary system working on multiple degrees.

I always know what the dog wants. I can just hear her breathing in the next room and I know what is going on with her.

Apparently I have chameleon prosidy. As in, the rhythm and tone of my speech changes drastically depending on who I am talking with. If I'm with a mechanic I talk one way, while with a landscaper it is slightly different. In a group of artists or at a doctor's conference and I sound different yet again. The only time the changes stand out is if someone is with me in each of those contexts.

I have a constant background hum of imagery running through my head. It influences the way I see things, relate to things, and think about things. I am possibly the most visually creative person I've ever met. I've never figured out how to turn that into gold, though (see my social anxiety entry).

Out of the ordinary nice guy.. People aren't use to that these days..

I'm short sighted but don't like wearing glasses or contacts because i find i can have more confidence approaching large groups since i can't make out them! (especially girls )

Wild things attack me when i go outdoors. Seriously. You name it, it's come after me. I was once chased up a hillside by a herd of goats. One time, Seamaiden and I were hiking in the woods, and I had about 15 big buzzing bugs flying around my head. She was 5 feet ahead and had nothing around her. I looked like a walking plague of Egypt.

When I was a kid we played leper.

i wash my hands religiously every day. im paranoid about where my hands go and what they touch...i usually try and wash my hands anytime i enter the house, and i always wash my hands whenever i go to the bathroom

obsessive? maybe..odd? not to me, but it seems like its odd to a lot of others i know

Hmmm...interesting. To be honest, I wasn't too upset about it until Portal came out, but I'll have to give it a shot.

I love reading everyone's lists! Some more for me:

10. I love going to concerts, but I very much dislike hearing live versions of songs on the radio.
11. I like lima beans.
12. When I'm drunk, I have a very pronounced southern drawl. I also pick it up subconsciously when I'm around people with a drawl. It's not a problem now that I live in NC, but I had to be really careful when I lived in Ohio, as travelers thought I was making fun of them.
13. I still throw Buffy quotes into everyday conversation, even though the show ended eight years ago.
14. I like my pizza really doughy. When I worked at a pizza place, the cooks would half-cook it for me :)

Everything.

Why you're my hetero lifemate....
The Southern (not really southern. More "appalachian" I only say this because I would get corrected all the time for calling it Southern. Perfectionist theatre profs.) drawl can be explained by WHERE we grew up in Ohio. A good deal of the older folk from our hometown migrated there from Kentucky to get a job at the steel mill. The accent just sort of stuck. Your stepdad definitely has it. :thumbsup: I definitely have it when I am intoxicated and throw out weird euphemisms. I get made fun of a lot for the things I say out here in Oregon.


Why I wonder why you are my hetero lifemate...
The song switching thing is what drives me the most insane and will result in a hetero lifemate divorce. That or Eden. Probably Eden.



I have no concept of what is odd, so I can't really respond. I read the entries and don't think they're odd. Someone else would have to say what's odd about me. I'm sure Cinna could comment....but she's too nice. ;-)

After reading some of these responses, I feel a tad bit more 'normal' in society's standards.

1.) I walk a bit oddly, due to a foot injury as a kid.

2.) I often find myself arguing back and forth in my thoughts, which actually make me angry-looking when I approach people, even when I'm not.

3.) I'm a perfectionist... especially at work. I don't leave until things are to my expectations (within a reasonable time span of course).

4.) I smoke my cigarettes down until I burn my lip half the time. Most reasonable smokers would put them out at the first sign of a warming filter; not me!

5.) I'm rarely ever bored. Even if I have nothing to do, I find entertainment staring at a blank wall.

1. I get more pride from my wife's employment than I do from my own.

2. I get turned on by nylons, which itself is not too odd. I love wearing them myself, which unfortunately is. My wife allows it whenever, but I feel alone in that no one truly understands, myself included.

3. I feel a need to try every new type of soda I come across.

4. I don't like sharing too much about myself, but the things I do are usually way more personal than people are used to.

5. I am adopted and don't have a desire to meet my birth mom, but consider her one of my heroes.

6. My only real career goal is to be good at what I do. I seem unable to define what I REALLY want that to be though.

I am new here.
I am an ordained minister, but after reading a few of my posts, you will either forget that or not believe that.
I don't like chocolate and eat very little of it.
I drink a lot of diet coke.
I find things humorous when nobody else does.
I don't like sharing things about myself.

Heh, I dunno, but I just had to edit something, because it was more stupid than not.
