[thedude110]

I hear in color.

 

[Shamus]

1. I am very beautiful
2. I am very intelligent
3. I am VERY modest




4. I joke.

 

[Ugg]

I can identify people by their smell (if they're not wearing too much cologne)

 

[bartelby]

I'm a Mac user.
Redheaded.
Redheaded with blue eyes (a rarity).

Same here!

Now for the different stuff.

I have the word "Fugazi" tattooed across my lower back.
I have a black sheep tattooed on my right arm.
I'm 33 and I have arthritis and manic depression

 

[thevessels]

-I'm a guy with 90% Girls as friends.
-I wear St. Tropez all year around, and costs a bloody fortune.
-I won't buy anything 'tacky' or follow the trends, although Im still 'trend-y'.
-I'm not 2 faced, and consider other people.
-Things such as money and rules (to an extent) don't bother me, whats the point in worrying
-I won't buy the same brand of trainers twice in a row, and they must be changed every 9 weeks or before
-Every summer I buy new Sunglasses (Just got my pair for this Summer today, £80 Police ones.. yum!)
-I only use WHITE Macs (Until I see a BlackBook in the flesh, most likely)
-Everyone thinks I'm pretty together, when I'm not.. at all.
- I don't drink Beer or Cider like Bloke-Blokes, I live for Vodka and other spirits.
-I don't take sh*t from anyone, and am very verbally aggressive/bitchy.
-I like nice things, but I'm not stuck up or spoilt.
-I have a whole range of Music Tastes from Hip-Hop, to R&B, to Dance, to Pop, to 'Alternative' - my favourite ever artist is Sarah McLachlan.

All of the above leads people to believe 'I'm Gay' - which in this day and age, makes me different because I'm not.

Oh, and I ''Think Different''.

I wear hearing aids. Both ears. 95% deaf.

See, although these threads can be funny and/or inane, sometimes you learn something really interesting and substantive about a fellow member.

lilstewart, have you been (mostly) deaf your whole life, or did this occur later in life? I don't mean to pry, and you don't have to answer - but I am genuinely curious.

 

[itcheroni]

A lot of mine, for some reason, has to do with my penis.

1. I don't have a left testicle
2. I was circumsized at 7
3. I'm afraid the only thing that makes me truly happy is getting laid (the more partners I have in a given amount of time, the happier I am). And I haven't been happy in a very long time.
4. I'm of Chinese decent but I can't stand Chinese or Chinese Americans unless they share my sensibilities, which only happens maybe 1 out of a 100 times.
5. I don't know one word of Chinese, but I'm (nearly) fluent in French.
5. I tried to make sexy underwear for myself out of an old t-shirt when I was 12. I got sad when I couldn't.
6. When I was 13, on the last day of school, I made myself 64 ounces of coffee in an AM PM cup in order to stay up watching Nick at Nite (primarily The Donna Reed Show, The Dick Van Dyke show, The Patty Duke Show, and I Love Lucy at the time). I drank it in two hours and my upper lip started twitching but it was worth it because I stayed up till 6 am.
7. I regularly pace back and forth for hours, daydreaming.
8. I can't drink alcohol. I really wish I could, but I can't.

Geez, I'm a little embarassed. But I really want to win this contest. I have tons more too.

 

[UKnjb]

I'm only 15" high and have blue eyes. But they are very very small. Obviously.

5. I'm homeschooled.

Me too!

 

[Kardashian]

Me too!

Now I want to be!

God damn it, I want to live in NZ now to!

 

[mopppish]

I don't own a TV or a cell phone. I guess that's pretty rare nowadays. Come to think of it, I haven't even owned a cordless phone for a few years now...

I'm almost 30 and not married, even though I've been w/ the same person for about 9 years. I suppose that's also fairly uncommon.

I enjoy going on long backpacking trips where I eat crappy freeze-dried food, bust my hump on the trail all day and don't shower for a week. Most people think I'm crazy to consider that a vacation, but hey, that's what I dig.

Otherwise I'm pretty darned average.

ND

Talks like a hippie.
Acts like a hippie.
And.. *sniff* Yep. SMELLS like a hippie, too.

Just messing with you. I actually also have yet to own a cell-phone and am very disappointed that I won't get to do the no-shower-for-a-week thing at Bonnaroo this year (can't afford to go). It's certainly not real camping, but I WOULD have to eat crappy food.

Every time I have a break for a week or more i.e. summer or winter break (I'm a college student) my sleep pattern shifts until I am going to bed when it's light out and waking up just before the sun starts going down. And it's not because I party or do anything interesting. I just can't sleep at night. I guess I'm nocturnal.

I'm 24 and actually weigh significantly less than I did as a teenager. That's pretty rare from what I've seen.

I could list some other things about me that I expect are unique, but it might get kind of depressing. I'm happy with myself the way I am, but most of the things about me that I truly think are different could be construed as negatives. For instance, I have hairier forearms and hands than any other guy I've ever seen save Robin Williams.

 

[Blue Velvet]

Wouldn't you like to know...

 

[bumpy]

I have hairier forearms and hands than any other guy I've ever seen save Robin Williams.

Stranger still, my forearms are smoother than a baby's bottom.

I'm the happiest person I know - life has so much beauty, in so many ways, yet I'm the only one who can see even half.

[FleurDuMal]

I'm a Law student who hates The Law and has been arrested twice.
I go on Mac forums and I don't have a Mac.
The drunker I get, the less likely I am to have a hangover

 

[iGary]

OK, I'll do a "serious" one.

1. I am adopted.
2. I am gay.
3. I have an affinity for Macs.
4. I fish with a fly.
5. I have a USCG Captains License.
6. Both my parents died before I was 35.
7. I have two blood family members that can"t stay out of jail.
8. I lived on a sailboat for 11 years.
9. I'm self-employed.
10. I've been on TV.

 

[FleurDuMal]

Oh, and one of my relatives was committed to a mental health institution for performing on operation on an animal without a vet's license.

I've had some crap in my 17-years, but if I was to through points 1,6,7 and 8 - well I've been said I'm strong but I can't comprehend those things.

(iGary, if your wondering why I put No.8 there - I like my space, and don't like water.. plus comedic effect )

 

[iAlan]

Well here goes, I think I am the only...

3) I like drawing mushrooms
4) I have to change the design of things pretty often or I feel suffocated
5) I have an unusual last name and I'm probably one of the only people in the world with the combination of my first name and last name

14 is a definate yes.

1. I'm chinese and I'm not incredibly skinny, and I'm also not fat at all. Usually you're either one or the other.

2. I'm the only chinese person I know who can grow facial hair as fast as I do. Proof....after 2 days

Pah. Same here.

But are you making a sandwich at the same time?

1. I don't have a left testicle

Meh, don't worry. I always thought having 2 was a bit redundant anyway.

How Are You Different From Everyone Else?

(THUD!)

8. I lived on a sailboat for 11 years.

Ok, you win. I thought only rich single old men in movies did that.
