That sounds like it's a lot of fun, actually. I've tried to make myself dizzy using energy in order to experience flight like that.


Another secret of mine; probably one of my biggest: I'm trying to bring into believable reality the secrets of the universe. I just now discovered a link to a page that has some scientific findings that confirm at least a fragment of the puzzle. The more pieces I can find to connect together, the happier I'll be. It feels like it's my goal in life these days.

... ... To prove that I'm not imagining myself, to myself.





Bleh.



Okay. > <.

Another secret of mine, though I'm more okay with it than not, I suppose, is that I've always had a fascination with Ancient Egypt. Serious Sam's setting captured my attention like it's never been captured before. I get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I think about life in ancient Egypt, 2,500-3,000 BCE. The Egyptian Deities feel like brothers and sisters than distant terms or stars in the sky, and the story of the Egyptians and Hebrews is one of my favorite, and I feel like there was more to it than was told.

But I'd never had any reason to tell anyone about that. It just never came up in conversation. With anyone. Ever.

So it was a bit of a surprise when some of the Pagan friends I have on Facebook that I've grown very close with, during readings, tell me that I have the same energy as I do Egypt when they think about it. Their readings of me are about ... 75% consistent between people who read me for whatever reason, but 90% of whatever reading that mentions me as having a geographical resemblance yields Egypt.

That sounds like a bunch of hocus pocus to people, and I don't blame you in the slightest. The thing to take away from that is that a lot of people who have never met me before and don't know me well enough to know that one secret little private, personal fact about me have told me about it without knowing it, or being able to know it.

I used to walk on my toes until I had a surgery about 2 years ago. Since then, I occasionally look at how people walk. It's a fairly common problem.

I'm sure we're all OCD about something. I like it when things come in packs of 2, 3, multiples of 5, or 12. It always bothered me how ZC gave out bombs in packs of 4. I changed them to multiples of 5 as soon as it was possible. The one exception is soda in packs of 6.
I'm anal about alignment. I hate it when things are crooked... unless everything is crooked.

I can't stand the sight or idea of a hypodermic needle, but blood doesn't bother me at all.

I don't really like movies or TV. They're too predictable. I only really watch Mythbusters and Anime unless I'm sick.

I dislike fiction, mainly for books. Nonfiction is more interesting to me.
I'm a fast reader, but I have terrible comprehension.

I can't stand doing nothing. I have to always be doing something even if it isn't productive.

I love this topic. Looks at us! We're bonding.

I still walk on my toes. There are plenty of reasons why. I also look at how people walk. If they have an ... unnatural walk, I immediately gain a modicum of respect for them from out of nowhere. There's a certain way of walking that I absolutely fall in love with.

I can't stand doing nothing. I have to always be doing something even if it isn't productive.

Ditto. I get so restless when I'm just resting. I can't stand being over at someone's house and not having anything to do. I'm amazed I can sleep at all, considering that you're not doing anything while sleeping or resting.


The plots of works of fiction are immaterial to me. If they're original, I don't think anything of it, because it's simply happening. "It is what it is." If it's like Avatar, and has some incredible attributes but (apparently) a very predictable plot, then I focus on something other than the plot for amusement. Avatar completely beguiled me on so many levels. Instead of knowing where the plot was going, I hoped that it would stay its course. It did. I was happy.

I'm bizarrely self-conscious how how I walk. I can't explain why, but if I'm walking down a long hallway or something, I always find myself thinking about it. It's sorta weird.

To be serious, I also do this constantly as I walk to and from classes or when I'm just walking to the post office. It may because we have a thing running in the family where when we walk sometimes our feet point noticeably inwards, which I'm always afraid someone will see me and laugh at me. I also pay attention on how my arms and hands are placed, usually I stuff them in my pockets if I'm not holding anything, it's weird and it's really hard to explain why I do this.

[Jared]

I still walk everywhere around my house on my toes, and i'm 16
Sometimes i even do it in my shoes. I even run on my tiptoes!

Another very strange thing I do is run around like Link, hands just like his. Like if i'm pretending to be Young Link from Ocarina of Time, i put my hand in front of my stomach and hand in back and run just like him. Lately, i've started to run like he does in OoT 3DS, sort of like TP, but his hand closer to his stomach.

Fine. You want a secret?

You know how obesity has been a real big thing in the news lately? How it's supposedly spreading like a plague, and how nearly one third of all children are obese now, and how people have been trying to figure out ways to neutralize it?

I have the exact opposite problem. I'm freakishly underweight. 20 years old, six feet tall, 125 pounds.

It's not that I don't eat enough. I'm a pretty average-to-above-average eater, really. I'm not anorexic or anything. Hell no. For whatever reason, everything I eat just goes right through me. It's like, for whatever reason, my body just can't pull almost anything out of anything I eat.

It's kind of disheartening...being freakishly weak and realizing there's basically nothing I can do to change that. Did I mention that when I actually have the time to work out, it doesn't make me stronger...including the one time I did it consistently for seven months?

I vomit when I see chewing gum or any other kind of gum.

I don't want to start a debate here, but this is a common symptom of Celiac disease (Gluten allergy). Your body can't absorb the nutrients it needs. I was recently diagnosed with it, and, although it's only been about a month since my diet was changed, I've already noticed weight gain and health improvement.

I'm not saying you have Celiac, as I'm no doctor, and the only way to no for sure is through genetic testing, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. It might be something you want to look into.

My cousin has this problem. I know a lot of people will jokingly say that they envy you, but I realize it's hard even though it's the opposite of what most people complain about.

Do look into the gluten allergy thing to see if you can rule it out.

[Beefster]

From what I understand, Celiac is not an allergy to gluten per se. It's really an intolerance... There are seriously loads of people with celiac at my church.

Funny thing, one person I know had Celiac was slightly overweight because of it.

I'm 18 and I haven't been on a date or have a girlfriend. I'm so ridiculously shy around girls. I may not even go to my Senior Prom because it would be pointless without a date.

I'm not much of a fan of tower defense games. I feel they're really glorified waiting.

I can't stand cilantro.
I don't really like Mexican food except for burritos and tacos, which aren't really Mexican.
I like fruit.

I once ate 15+ meatballs and threw up at 4AM the following morning. I didn't eat meat for three days afterward.

Does no one think this is weird? xD

I am also very skinny, like 5'8 or 5'9, 16, and like 110 pounds....I have an amazingly fast metabolism.

But sadly, I even get tired when I run up the stairs. Or even walk up them.

Please, please, please don't make one of the very few cases where I'm capable of getting angry visible and evident. Please... Not in this topic. This is a guilt-free zone.

But sadly, I even get tired when I run up the stairs. Or even walk up them.

Wish I had something productive to say about this. I'm likely the same way, though thirty'ish pounds larger. I try to plow through whatever stops me, just for the hell of it. Probably doesn't help.

[Purplemandown]

I destroy every pair of shoes I wear. For starters, my feet are extremely wide, so even wide shoes rip at the sides. Plus, I walk with a very heel-heavy foot strike, so I tear holes it the soles of shoes with air pockets...

It's a pain-in-the-neck...

Also...

This. OMFG THIS^^^^^^!!!

Bingo.
