Post about interesting facts about you!

Title.

I cough in my right ear when cleaning (only 2.3% of the world coughs when cleaning their ear), and I am color blind to 2 cones ~10% of the world's population is colorblind, less then 20% have this), I am related to 2 presidents, I have the same name as a president's son who fought in World War 1 that helped France and died protecting that country on Bastille Day.

I have an odd life.

I'm a person, a human being, actually. I live in a house on a country in planet Earth, I eat food, I go to sleep at night, go to college at morning, I like Doctor Who, Lovecraft's works, Cosmic Horror Stories in general, philosophing, thinking, and stuff. I have No Social Skills, which make me act like a Cloud Cuckoo Lander at times. I believe Life is a gigantic computer.

I like browsing 4Chan at times, mostly lurking on /b/.

Unfortunetely, I became addicted to TV Tropes (nasty addiction indeed), to the point everytime I sit in front of a computer, I go to TV Tropes sooner or later and spends hours here.

I am fully aware that the things I wrote above have no relevance to this thread and I did only because It Amused Me.

I misspelled my own name for 15 years. I write digimon fanfiction. I have a real life twin brother, Terl. I have had 19 hamsters, 2 cats, and a silk worm. I once watched 104 episodes of digimon in under four days. my birth mother is my biological mother's sister in law. I was once the guest of the Canadian ambassador to Norway.

I'm a book smart, computer savvy, Cloud Cuckoolander

@Ellowen Oh how did you become the guest of the Canadian ambassador to Norway

I only cuss online.

...That's it.

I did a promotional short and a graduation seminar about my city (it was an European Capital of Culture in 2012). The former got sent to a university in Romania, apparently. I'm thinking about publishing the latter.

I might gonna have a main role in a short movie in my group's college project in a discipline of my Master's degree.

There's apparently a church in Guyana that was founded by one of my great-great grandfathers, and I ended up deciding a vote count during the New York Democratic primary of 2008.

I have a talent to pronounce long and complex words correctly on the first try.

@phantom: My father and the Ambassador's husband were high school friends. They invited us to visit them when I was young. We stayed in the Mansion, and it was awesome.

I am one of the 11% of the world's population that has naturally curly hair. c:

• I have seen nearly every movie starring Nicolas Cage . The reason for this is that I was blogging about it.
• I was in a music video and got to die in it (well, everyone else in the "concert" scene of the video dies too). If you want to find me, look to the left of the lady in the denim vest.
• I went to the same high school as a musician who was once a Replacement Scrappy lead vocalist for a very famous long-running rock band... But he graduated way before I did.
• I know a guy who knew Elliott Smith - there's a privately shared group picture with both of them in it on facebook as proof.
• One more minor musical claim to fame: I appeared on Don't Worry by Math The Band, singing gang backing vocals. The volunteer "choir" sang on seven of the nine songs on the album, because that's the kind of band Math The Band are.

I work in my school's studio for the broadcast production/video announcements class, even though I know jack shit about what I'm doing. So I'm just my old friends' lackey. And a shitty cameraman, judging by my shitty work here (though that wasn't actually our best take, but we didn't do the editing)

• I manage to play some tropes and their opposite straight nearly at the same time, or at least in a way that wouldn't seem natural to most people. For example, Shrinking Violet / No Indoor Voice or Adult Child / The Stoic.
• My Real Life laugh tends to creep people out. Or make them laugh harder.
• I can make almost as many silly facial expressions as Jim Carrey.
• I am constantly stressed, even when I have no reason to (and I'm perfectly aware of that fact).
• I'm also starting a collection of weird or unusual items, including: an Otamatone, a Maneki-neko, a Power Glove, instant dehydrated underwear, a Portal Gun replica, a Guy Fawkes mask, a poultry hat, the FATAL rulebook (pdf, still looking for a paperback)... And I hope to add Mr Bean's Teddy and the Horsehead Mask to that collection soon.

• I am an admitted overthinker.
• I can turn off my autistic "tics" and "stimming" at will. Don't ask me how.
• I am admitted Water Works.
• I study languages on the side and history
• I play guitar.
• I think I am both introverted and extroverted at the same time.

I'm the only person I've met who's interested in history.

One time after leaving a camping trip, there were bear paw prints on the inside of the windshield.

Over the years, I've hurt myself by getting run over by a van, breaking my leg rollerskating, and falling into a manhole.

• I love to eat cow tongue (when it's cooked right, it is delicious!).
• I don't know my own phone number
• I learned to read when I was three
• I'm a brown belt in taekwondo
• I once ate a fly on a dare (do NOT ask).
• I don't have much of a social life, so I occasionally spend Friday and Saturday nights looking at colleges.

I was once a background vocal for a long forgotten Korean music artist.

When I was 3, I dreamed that I had 3 eyes and that slugs came out of them by cracking them as if they were eggs.

I've won every strength competition I've been in.

I used to be able to mentally multiply numbers with up to 10 digits... Nowadays, I'm a bit rusty.

So do I! I thought I was the only one!

I was kicked in the knee/shin by a llama once. I was foolish enough to walk up behind it.

I am uninteresting.

@Explosivo, I love cow tongue!

uhhhhhh i sneeze when squinting in sunlight?? apparently that's a thing so yeah

That's not uncommon.
