List three unsual things about yourself

1. My right eye is smaller and differently shaped than my left.

2. I have a a five year old brother who is practically a twin despite being fourteen years younger.

3. When I played baseball, I threw left but hit right.

1) I have scars all over my body and consider them beautiful for the story they tell. I'm wating to find someone else who does as well.

2) I have a 3 yo niece whom I adore and love spending time with.

3) I have a thing about astronomy and love learning about the stars.

I throw right, but though I was a switch hitter, I preferred to bat left.

Redstone

hitting right and throwing lefty is normal but throwing lefty and hitting righty is totally rare. Only a handful of hitters in MLB history have done that. The most famous of which was Rickey Henderson.

Never knew that throw right / bat left was common, but not the opposite.

Redstone

I think I would have made a much better hitter if I had hitted lefty from the start because I tried switching when I was 11 but because I was so entrenched hitting righty I never adjusted and with that went my possibly high school baseball career.

"...hitting right and throwing lefty is normal but throwing lefty and hitting righty is totally rare."


*scratching head*

Throwing lefty and hitting righty isn't normal but many guys can hit lefty but throw righty.

:)

you just said the same thing:

"hitting right and throwing lefty is normal but throwing lefty and hitting righty is totally rare. Only a handful of hitters in MLB history have done that. The most famous of which was Rickey Henderson."

1. My right leg is about 1/2" shorter than my left leg.

2. My right foot is 1/2 a shoe size smaller than my left foot.

3. I have a really deep voice that throws people off because I don't look like I should be a second alto at all. :)(5'6"+ blonde).

1. I learned how to read when I was three.

2. My ribs are asymmetrical.

3. I've birthed two 10+ pound babies.

1. I was born left-handed, but in kindergarden, the nuns made me right-handed. Now I write right-handed, ambidextrous with most things, and cannot brush my teeth with my right hand for my life.

2. I can dislocate my left-shoulder at will. It's also visibly lower than my right shoulder.

3. I often walk into things with my left hip.

1) I'm an only child
2) I'm an excellent speller
3) I'm the first person in my family born in America

1. one of my feet is slightly larger than the other.
2. i can only write with my right hand, but i can paint with both hands.
3. i seem to get along with people who are 10 years older than me rather than teens my age.

:hi:

I have a twin sister
I am gay but like sports.

i know quite a few gay guys my age (seems i they are the only democrat in alabama) that love sports! my little sisters are twins. they both have outie belly buttons. i wonder if that has something to do with twins?

my twins have outies also and the rest of us all have innies. My husband and I were just talking about this today. How old are your sisters?

BTW I love your work :loveya:

everyone else in my family has innies too.

hmm.. i think we are on to something! :P

I can't imagine four! Their brother will be four in October. They must be adorable! My friend had twin girls - we both have the same blood clotting disorder and kind of cheered each other through our pregnancies.

and happy early birthday to your twins! :hi:

they are pretty cute. it's funny because they finish each other's sentences and they stop each other mid sentence to say "yeah" because they already know what they are talking about.

but the other of me miscarried.

There's only one set of twins in my whole family that I know of and they look identical but like all twins they have personality differences. My "twin" tonight did something I never did *knock on wood*, poor little guy broke his arm riding his bike, he's at the hospital now with my folks.

:hi:

I think he's going to be coming home soon. He's a tough one when I talked to him on the phone an hour ago he seemed to be in high spirits.

:pals:

Not sure if I worded it correctly. We have no twins anywhere in our family except for our guys - they are identical. We were told that fraternal is hereditary, but identical is just a freak thing.

Hope the little guy is ok :hug:

we also have at least 4 other sets of identical twins in the family that I know of. :shrug:

:wow: One set is enough for me. That is crazy. Everything I have read and have been told has said that they are not hereditary, but who knows, maybe they are.

:hug:

she was probably the evil twin.

or maybe I am. muahahahaha! :evilgrin:

i know some people say the don't feel "complete" when their twin dies or is miscarried, but i feel perfectly "complete" and content. maybe it was because it was so early in the pregnancy. :shrug:

:P

now you can be my LEFT wing man. together we shall rule the earth! :evilgrin:

:bounce: :evilgrin:
:beer:

:P

Thanks! :bounce:

after all, i will rule the world! :P

1. I always know what time it is
2. I'm right handed but drive left handed.
3. If I say this I'll get the thread shut down.


Khash.

1. My ear lobes are different. One is attatched and one is unattached. My grandmother has the same oddity.
2. I once lived in a 150 year old house.
3. I have eaten reduced lunches at school and at country clubs.

I'm a left-mouser, although I am right-handed. Fairly uncommon.
I was in the Peace Corps.
I'm apparently overthinking this, since I can't think of a third thing. Maybe in light of the general populace (excepting most of the fine people on DU) I should consider that my third thing: "uses brain frequently." :rofl:

Don't ask me why, it's been this way for years.

Yeah, that's all I feel like thinking of at the moment.

All of these will relate to me "being a guy"

1. Big boobs? Don't care;

2. Oral favors are better given than received;

3. I'm a vegan (planteater) and my biceps are bigger than most folks' biceps that you will ever meet.

not unique.

Redstone

I was going with "unusual" not unique nor rare. I'm happy to not be a one-off or rare.

You have to admit, take 100 fellas off the street, get a consensus...it's unusual. Am I right? If not, I digress.

Redstone

And I'm very happy that that is indeed the case. Although, I really wish that it wasn't. It'd be kind of nice to think we all thought that way, eh?

Redstone

maybe know by some sort of experience?

I'm just sayin'...

Redstone

because I share a number of things in common with people in this thread.

My little sister is 16 years younger than me but I often call her my "mini me" because she looks just like me except that she has straight hair and alot of red highlights.

I use to be ambidextrous but my first grade teacher would walk around with a red marker and write an F on anybody's paper if she saw them using their left hand so I got out of the habit of using it. I still do alot with my left hand through and prefer to write on a chalkboard with it. My brother had a similar experience with a teacher at a different school. He use to be left handed until he broke his arm a month before his 8th birthday.

My shoulders are uneven. I use to have a school nurse that was convinced I had scoliosis because of it and after a few years my doctor had to send her a letter saying to relax with all the demands that I see a professional because I went to the doctor every year and my doctor was better qualified than the school nurse to determine that I was fine.

1) I am double-jointed and can touch my thumb backward to my forearm; I can also bend my fingers back much further than most people.

2) I can roll my tongue. It's a recessive trait (as are most things about me, lol!).

3) I have an extremely high sex drive. ;)

1. I have a rare blood-clotting disorder.
2. I don't wear make-up or do anything to my hair (except brush it).
3. I can't remember my parents ever being in the same room together or getting along with each other.

2. I wrote an essay that is now taught in PHD seminars.

3. I have no discernible weakness except I cannot resist short women. This is not a joke.

Bonus: I have a phobia about monkeys

I don't have to write a 2 & 3 that way.

Male strutting and posturing makes me laugh.

The lens in my right eye is man-made.

Ah if only other males had the same testosterone-dar and amused reaction to strutting that we two possess! What a finer place this spaceship Earth would be! I guess we should simply bask in our unusual superior qualities in an attempt to show others the error of their ways? Have a back-pat--from me to you, friend.

:hi:

Thanks! :hi: :pals:

Hmmmm. Have to think about that.

I've given birth to children in three different decades, two different centuries, and two different millennia.

I am married to a man eight years younger than I.

I can do the splits and touch my nose with my tongue!!!


I am ambedextrious; I use my left hand to write, I eat with either hand, use right-handed scissors, kick with either leg, pitch right-handed and speak fluent sign-language with either hand. :shrug:

1. I was born without a chin.
2. I once punched a squirrel in the stomach.
3. I jumped off an eight story building, landed on my neck, and survived.

2) I'm really smart except for trigonometry and geometry,
3) I can't see faces beyond a few metres.

1. I have a birthmark on the inner aspect of my left arm; it looks like a Cocker Spaniel...

2. I am a little ambidextrous....I wash my face with my left hand, I thread a needle likewise, and I can write left-handed. I was left-handed unti I was five years old, and apparently switched spontaneously.

3. I suffered some brain damage at or around my birth. It takes me longer than most people to learn how to do things with my hands. Once I "get" it, then I'm fine....

That's all I can think of at the present time. :hi:

1. Been married three times and each was younger than the previous one.

2. Started teaching for the first time at age 46 and discovered I was a natural.

3. Started movie "acting" last year at age 60 - worked on 5 or six movies. Rob Lowe/Julia Ormond (Miniseries on right now), Anne Heche (Did a Karaoke scene with her), The BTK Killer movie, Two Tom Selleck movies, October 1970 (Canadian FLQ movie) and a few other bit parts. Only small parts, a line or two here & there, but man does it pay well!!!
Start a new one next week.
Turn 61 next month.

3b. Also have eaten at a soup kitchen by necessity and taught at University in the same year (Long story)

Well, not really. I've got all I can handle with two.

Anyway,

1. I dress formal for work everyday, even though it isn't required.

2. I won't eat food that isn't properly presented. Example; if a clubhouse sandwich is cut in half instead of in quarters. I always ask the waitress how it comes before I order. If she says, "But we can cut it in quarters for you"... I still won't order it.

3. I can bend my elbows the opposite way, so much that I can hold my arms straight out and touch the insides of my forearms together from the wrist all the way up..

"Unusual" is kinda subjective, but...

•I was a sportswriter/editor for about eight years before switching to news.

•I read my first words at 17 months.

•I make my own cigarettes.

1. I have a bachelors degree but neither of my parents graduated from high school
2. I beat up a guy who was 11 inches taller than me. (it was an uppercut) :spank:
3. When I played hockey, I could play every position. My best position was left wing, but I shot right-handed. Right-handed left wings are only common in Europe.

1) I can cross only one of my eyes
2) I am female, 49, and have never had my ears pierced
3) I have yet to see a gray hair either

1. I've been shot at.

2. I have fucking beautiful feet. When I was in grades 10 and 11, I had a p/t job as a foot model for catalogue work.

3. I once submerged a 1978 AMC Concorde wagon in one of the Great Lakes.

phhfft... I've been actually shot.

n/t

on edit: have you ever seen the footage of Werner Herzog being shot while being interviewed?

haha!

I was a magician's assistant once (complete with bunny) and an amateur clown for a while (Yes, I know magician secrets, and I'm not bound by any code not to tell, either ) :evilgrin:
I was in the United States Air Force Reserve for a total of three days. Three days too many, my husband (ex-AF) says.
I raised fancy rats for thirteen years.

But, I can read three different alphabets, I used to be able to read Hebrew as well and runic script, but they're forgotten now, I want to learn Arabic and Malayalam which would add two more.

I can read music in 6 different clefs.

I'm entitled to free entry to Westminster Abbey.

1) Never been in a Walmart (I think there are now about 4 of us in America)
2) Never believed in God (even as a child whose parents took me to church regularly, I thought it was some sort of trick or test)
3) I'm happy, love my life and can't imagine it being better.
