What weird or interesting thing makes you unique?

[duffy]

I am a city boy who moved to the country and started my own goat farm. I ride a harley and am tattooed pretty much from my shoulders to my feet. In spite of that i am a law enforcement officer, college educated and love to garden and landscape. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, eat peanut butter or popcorn, and am not fond of steak or meat in general. If you judged me by my looks you would think i am the total opposite of what i really am. I also only sleep about 5 hours a day, which helps having a full time job, a farm and all my other interests.

Oh, and for me....


I've been struck by lightning.

and,

I run this site.  

There's something else about DeadBishop --- he has Bow Envy.    

This picture I took at the MN Ren Fest Archery Competition Minnesota State Longbow Competition (at MNRF) on Saturday, 4-Sep-10 illustrates what I mean:

EDIT: A closer reading of the MNRF Program Guide points out that it was the Minnesota State Longbow Competition that was held at MNRF on Labor Day weekend.

I am also a segregator of candies... but, only some.

Skittles, gotta group colors together, then put the colors into Roy G Biv

Starburst, I have to have a complete set (lemon, orange, cherry strawberry) then put them in color/shade order

I almost never use recipes, or patterns, and it drives my mom batty

I'm afraid of balloons and down escalators

I have more hair (folicles) on my head than 2 people put together

I'm a 'bar sinister' descendent of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquataine (LONG story, but documented)

I sound like a recording when I answer the phone at work.

(i know I have one more thing but cant for the life of me think what it was!)

i can actually walk backward nearly as well as i can walk forward
not to mention that i can read several different books at the same time and keep them all straight i can also pick up a book after not reading it for a while and know exactly what is going on

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh!  Speaking of backward...  I'm not ambidextrous, but I can write legibly with my right hand (being left-handed) as long as I write backward!  If I try to write from left to right with my right hand it can hardly be read, but I can write just fine, and in cursive, even... backward.  I learned this about myself about 15 year ago while doing some "other hand" consciousness training exercises, and it's been a little quirk ever since.

I can also read upside-down, almost as easily as I read right-side up.

I am unique...just like everyone else...

+ one, learned that trick working in the car and bike parts counter biz, reading ahead in catalogs that customers are looking at.

i'm not the only one

I can usually read better upside down than I can right side up, and it doesnt matter if its print or cursive.

i have costumers who are amazed that i can read upside down i guess for those who can't read upside down it kinda blows their minds

[Rani Zemirah]

Ok, so not as unique as I thought...    heheh

His was longer.  Mine is stronger.

You all do realize - if this question was posed to any of us anyplace but this forum our answer would be something akin to....


"I travel thousands of miles a year and spend untold dollars going to Ren Faires.  I have an entirely separate persona and wardrobe for this activity and spend time with hundreds of people who do not know my real name or what I am like in the mundane world"

I love being unique with my fairemly

I actually used something similar at a "tell us something about you that we don't know" icebreaker kind of thing at a company function recently! Another person said something like, "yeah, what she said!" LOL.

I little bit of the homeland stuff.

I am related to the 1st Duke of Wellington. Yep, the same guy from Waterloo.
There has been a member of my family in Wexford, Ireland since the year 790.
My family fought Cromwell with the Royalists during the Irish Confederate Wars.  300 some years later, we fought the crown in the 1916 Easter rising.

I guess that is kind of interesting.

More about me, I qualified expert pistol with left and right hands, but can only shoot a rifle left handed.
I have alot of tattoos, not like thats a big deal.

Im sure other stuff will come to me.
