Interesting things about yourself?

[Talanic he/him]

That's one of the strange things being studied.  I still dream, albeit rarely (once every few months).  I 'see' in my dreams in the same way that I do in real life, color and all.

 

My memories of any dream that I've woken from are vague, often with 'placeholders' all around.  Along the lines of, "There was a man and a woman with me in the haunted house.  Can't figure out what anything looked like at all, though.  Not my companions, not the ghost, not the house."  As I haven't discussed dreams with others very often, I have no idea how much of this is normal.

 

 

Also, my boss responded to the reveal of my condition by describing a disturbing mental picture and asking, 

"So, you can't see that in your mind?"

 

"Nope."

 

"Lucky you!"

[Voidus]

I am Shalzebub, demon of the north wind who rules over the northern wastes and deals frozen death upon my enemies.

It might not be true but it is at least interesting

[Fatebreaker he/him]

I have personally invented five sports, including Ohmyface, Extreme Dodgeball, and Whirlirockin. Extreme dodgeball includes the use of bows and arrows.

 

I've almost been pepper sprayed by a racist at a store here in California. And another time in a gas station Utah. 

 

I hold the world record for most 360's in a downhill racer across Flying Squirrel Ravine Bridge.

 

I have been struck by lightning. 100% true story. Ask me about it if you're curious.

[DanTheSeamonster he/him]

I love Fantasy. Especially 90's Fantasy. I adore 90's Fantasy.

 

I have read every single Louis L'Amour book, and North to the Rails and To the Far Blue Mountains are my favorite.

 

I'm 90% sure that Sevro is my favorite character in the history of ever.

 

My eyes are brown around the pupils, green in the middle and then blue around the edges. Kind of like a weird rainbow.

 

I have never broken a bone. *Knocks on wood*

 

I enjoy the sound of nails on a chalk board.

 

Poseidon is my favorite Greek god, and Anubis is my favorite Egyptian god.

 

My ancestor was a pirate and privateer in Jean Lafitte's crew.

 

For some reason, both of my index fingers and both of my pinkie fingers curve inward towards my hand. So whenever I point at something with my index finger, I end up pointing at the ground. I've taken to pointing with all four fingers or my index and middle fingers.

 

Okay I think that's enough.

 

Edit: Oh! I'm also a huge history buff!

 

Okay I'm done for real this time.

I actually enjoy the summer and heat.

[Mestiv he/him]

I'll never understand your kind of people

 

My girlfriend and I run a temporal house for cats. It works like this: we take a homeless cat, treat him, heal him, make sure he's able to live with humans and other cats, and then search for a home for him. Currently we have 8 cats in our small flat and that drives my family crazy, since they cannot understand why we do it.

[Elsecaller3414 she/her]

I can feel minute changes in temperature, so walking through my house is hard because it is hot upstairs and cold in the basement.  

 

I often wear a jacket in the summer.

 

I have perfect pitch.

 

I am really good at checkers, so nobody plays it with me anymore.  

 

I dream rarely, but when I do, the dreams are so disturbing that I remember them for years after.

[The Sovereign]

I know how to say "I eat..." In 4 different languages. (I eat, yo come, jag äter, ana akool)

Here are 4 more: 我吃。 Je Mange, Eu como, Ich esse (Chinese, French, Portuguese, German)

 

Fun fact: I am fluent in English and close to fluent is Mandarin and French.

 

[The Honor Spren she/her]

Hmm. . . I've been avoiding this thread for a long time since I'm not all that interesting in real life. Ah well, here is my meager offering.

My hair has been blue, green and purple. (But not at the same time) I'm now back to my normal brown.

I'm homeschooled. The way my family celebrates the first day if school is to go to the beach or pool. Just 'cause we can.

I live in Florida. 20 minutes away from the beach, hour and a half from Disney, 2 hours from Lego Land, and 30 minutes from the Kennedy Space Center. It's pretty nice.

Warm weather is wonderful! How could you not like it? When it gets below 50 F, now that's harsh.

Are you kidding? 50 is just barely enough to keep cool when running.

[The Honor Spren she/her]

But in all seriousness, when it gets down to 55 F that is really when we get out winter clothes down here.

We call that "The beginning of Summer".

[Silverblade5 he/him]

 

Yes

[Quiver he/him]

I believe its pronounced "pegasus".

[Silverblade5 he/him]

I believe its pronounced "pegasus".

Indeed. I'm not actually a super human. I'm a human that's not an airsick lowlander. Mountains are such glorious things.

[ParadoxicalZen he/him]

55F/12-13C is like average in the Britain/UK, when it is really hot (20+C) or really cold to below freezing (-5c) the whole place goes Chicken Little, especially if it is like a few inches of snow, it is quite funny.

 

As for interesting things....

 

My eyes change colour depending on the situation. Normally they're a cool blue/sometimes turquoise but when allergies kick in (or some other circumstance) and my eyes go red, the iris goes bright emerald green.

 

I have near perfect vision as defined by an Optician, but i'm slightly short sighted in one eye

 

I'm incredibly accident prone and like a Bull in a China shop (I have to keep arms tucked in and stay in the middle of an aisle when walking past ceramics  ) I swear, it isn't my fault. I also have to beware of falling food jars from cupboards too.  

 

I'm always injuring myself due to lack of spatial awareness (walked into a few trees, lamp posts, telephone poles in my time) I even did something weird to my foot by stubbing my big toe on the last stair which stopped me walking without a crutch/stick for a week.

 

As my chosen name suggests, I love conundrums, paradoxes and puzzles, especially when the answer stares at me for so long in the face (thinking of when i finally discovered all the Cosmere books were interlinked) Big fan of Escher's Staircase and the mobile game series The Room

 

I speak sarcasm fluently and often have Shallan's habit of letting my mouth run away with me with glib/sarcastic retorts

 

I can be incredibly dense, yet equally genius.

 

In regards to the above injuring and accident prone-ness, I'm also incredibly adept at losing stuff (typically valuables, much to the chagrin of my family and close friends) that it is almost an art form

 

I am distantly related to Queen Elizabeth I through Sir Thomas Wyatt the younger (who was made an inadvertant leader of Wyatt's rebellion) and who's father is supposedly famous for bringing the Sonnet to Britain (how true this is i do not know) and am sometimes a bit of poet myself

 

I sometimes have an amazing ability to draw but most of the time I'm stormng rubbish

 

I'm left handed when writing but mostly use my right hand (my attempts to write right-handed are hilarious)

You people make me laugh with you erroneous conception of what winter truly is... -5... We call that spring over here... If you want to know cold, come to Canada     

[The Honor Spren she/her]

my eyes go red

lol no that actually sounds really cool. You seem like a very interesting person.

Hahah, this is true. I have heard Scotland is far more terrible during winter than England. Canada is on my list to travel to at some point

Montreal is actually much, much, much colder than Scotland in winter, but much, much, much warmer in the summer. We have among the highest temperature fluctuations in the world. 

 

-20 in winter, +30 in the summer.

 

No matter our roads are broken

i can apparently march for ten miles in the texas heat and not break a sweat. I even ran out of water at the end but kept going. What am i

Hydrologically efficient?

[Mistrunner]

Are you kidding? 50 is just barely enough to keep cool when running.

Yes. So much yes.

 

The best time to run is when it's raining. Keeps you cool.

 

I don't wear a jacket unless it's about forty degrees or less. Even then, just maybe. My mom thinks I'm crazy. Actually, most people think I'm crazy. So it works out. I think it's my way of dealing with the excessive heat in my little corner of this world. I hope wherever I go next is less warm...
