4. My left foot is a full one-size smaller than my right foot.
It's hell finding running shoes that work.

7. My left foot is a half-size smaller than my right.
I've been thinking - that would be a great business idea, to sell shoes in different sizes for people like us. :D

5. I feel like I'm going to throw up right now.
(That's not the weird part.)

The weird part: I know I'm not going to, as I have not upchucked for any reason since I was 16 (read: alcohol), nor for reason of illness since the age of 5.

30. I was 10 the last time I threw up
and that was after I fainted.

And it's not that I haven't drunk a LOT of alcohol since then.

BTW, if you're ever going out on the ocean in a boat, staying up literally all night drinking half a LARGE bottle of bacardi is a terrible idea. I didn't barf, but it was touch and go for a while there.

Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 02:34 PM by gwbsamoron
With the big exception of chemotherapy in 1981-82, I've only thrown up 4 times in my life: 1965, 1968, 1981, and 1990.

18. When I was 6, I spent a month in the hospital, in traction.
There was an egg-sized mass in my hip which prevented me from walking.

It eventually shrank and went away.


My parents recently ran into my orthopedic surgeon at a cocktail party. After over 25 years, he easily remembered my case, and says he is still puzzled by it.

25. My weirdness involves writing
I can write with my feet (big toe and second toe), I can write upside down, backwards, and simultaneously with both hands. It's actually easier to write backwards with my dominant hand at the same time writing normally with my left hand, and vice versa. I think I can actually write upside down and backwards--at the same time--with both hands as well.

27. This is a bit unpleasant, but....
I've been known to expel (regurgitate) fats and gristles well after ingesting them. I'm talking like an hour or two later.

Seriously, I can eat a steak for example, and an hour later, the gristle will find it's way out through all of the other things I've eaten.

I told you it was unpleasant.

33. I ruptured my spit glands when I was younger
It had to do with strategically opening a car door on a man and woman in a compromising position, being chased through backyards and then being clotheslined by a telephone pole cable.

I spit up some funky colors at the hospital.

You should hear the whole story. It was really funny. I was even laughing while I was spitting up the multi-colored saliva at the doctors office.
I did some really funny and stupid things in my life, and I still laugh about them.

38. I have keratoconus in my left eye.
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 02:57 PM by Beware the Beast Man
It happens when the cornea becomes cone-shaped, blurring your vision. It's kind of like an astigmatism. I'm eventually going to have to get a corneal implant.

I think it's gotten worse over the last several months- I see little halos around lights.

My right eye is fine (though nearsighted).

50. I'm a beard fetishist.
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 03:49 PM by BushIsAPooHead
I think I mentioned this before, but I'm wild about a guy with a big full beard. Even if the guy's repulsive, there's just something that attracts me about a beard. But I hate it when they just have a moustache. That's cheesy.

:silly:

On edit: Plus I don't have the Internet at home. How weird is that?
