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?

If you don't eat enough foods with protein, like meat, your body will consume your muscle to compensate. Just remember to not get factory farmed meat, because factory farmed animals are generally unhealthy, thus the meat that they produce will also be unhealthy. I have this issue too, I'm 16, 6'2" and 140 lbs, skinny as s***. But I'm getting better now, a month ago I was 135. This might not be your problem though, maybe you do have Celiac (which my mother has) or something else? I dunno.

EDIT: I'll post another random "secret" about myself too, as Purple's post reminded me of it. Whenever I place my foot on the ground I'll start by placing the ball of my foot and then my heel, then reverse the process when I lift my foot again. Other people think it's strange, but I find it a lot easier and more effective if I want to get a running jump at something.

I pay attention to tile flooring and patterns wherever I go and I always try to walk on tiles that are diagonal from each other or are differently colored.

Also, when I walk up the stairs, I go up one step on my right leg and skip one with my left. When I walk down, I skip one with my right and step down one with my left.

I'm left-eye dominant, but I'm right handed. I'm able to wink both eyes, I imagine the left-eye dominance comes from the astigmatism in my right eye.

I hardly ever brush my teeth, I've never had a cavity, but I know I really should brush them.

Mathematics clicks to me like nothing else, and I am able to remember trivia really well, but I am horrible at reading and comprehension.

I love playing piano and I'm able to improv pretty well, this is usually an outlet for any loose emotions I have.

There are many things I am arrogant about, but I try not to let people know that I think I'm better than them.

I like music, I like listening to it and writing it, but phrases on t-shirts like "music is my passion" and when people say how music is the most wonderful thing since the flush toilet and it brings everybody together, I get a "cheesy statement" overload and want to strangle them.

I'm insecure oftentimes, I feel like I'm enjoying the company of my friends way more than they are and that makes me feel bad.

I was on my high school wrestling team for 3 years even though I detested the sport.



Oh, and concerning weight and height, I'm average Joe. 5'10" and 158 lbs.

Does no one think this is weird? xD

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.

What is your problem man?

Not much things I have to tell which you don't know yet... I am diagnosed for PDDNOS, though I sense little to no difference about myself compared to others, rarely have problems with it. Think they diagnose someone with the syndrome way too quickly.

Though one thing I might relate to it is that I can easily shut of an emotion or thought. But I relate it more with me as a person than with the "syndrome".

Overall I don't like talking about it.

I also feel quite disgusted by modern society. I am quite a hippie in fact (as in thoughts).

I only make the path of the overworld when going to dungeons on my quests I make. So basically, I finish the overworld at the end of the game and add the heart peices. Sometimes, I forget to add them in places I want them to be in.

[Golden Chocobo]

Mm, secrets. Well, once upon a time I had an account on Xanga where I would rp (role play) as Vash the Stampede. I had one going on with this chick for three years. Long time! Hah. I had to stop that once I got into college though. No time. Anyone else role play? We're all nerds here, after all!

Okay, so regarding my last very depressing "secret" (doesn't apply to me anymore by the way, just was going through, and still am going through a very rough time. Just was having a hard time coping. I very much apologize for my previous post for it was highly inappropriate to post something like that on a lighthearted topic), here's a more legitimate secret.

When I hear something amazing in music, like an awesome section where it's just like, yeah that's music, it tickles me inside. I feel all warm and fuzzy, like life just made sense if only for a moment. It's one of the reasons I want to be a musician, really. It's an awesome feeling.

It sure is, though for me it's not so much warm and fuzzy-- more tingly and inspiring. I imagine everybody feels that way about music to some extent-- otherwise, why would we listen to it so much?

And, I just thought of a nice secret that people might be able to relate to (I'm sure others have had enough of this on FB and dART already):

But, when I was young, about 10 or so, probably younger (Gold and Silver were still new), I used to make Pokedex's... out of paper. Man, they were cool! They'd fold up, have all these buttons. I even made a series of square pieces of paper with Pokemon on them that could slide into slots I made on the Pokedex's! I'd spend the mornings working on my Pokedex, and spend the afternoons capturing imaginary Pokemans. It was amazing... Celebi avoided capture, though, the little punk. (at least, I never remember capturing him... stupid kid-memory)

And, for the secret-er secret... I woke up a few mornings ago with those Pokedex's in my head for some reason. I went to college, and kept thinking of a new Pokedex idea that was haunting me since my wake. I eventually scribbled down some ideas for the prototype, and the next day, transformed my ideas into reality.

For two short hours, I was a kid again, cutting, gluing, tearing, gluing again... and, I completed my most complex paper Pokedex to date! Though I haven't tested it, it should be able to hold the standard Pokemon card in two slots with an opening to see the Pokemon itself and the moves it has. It has a nice, slidable thumb-pad (akin to the 3DS's and PSP's), buttons, tabs, and folds up to a size that fits in my wallet for on the go (that was always a problem with my younger Pokedex's). In fact, I've got it on me right now.

So, yeah, I made a paper Pokedex, acting like a kid when I should've been doing Psychology or Composition work. Biiiigg whoop. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

This isn't much of a secret because I'm not even sure if I am, but, I think I'm becoming Bisexual...Or at least, I'm bi curious.
Also,.I think Cream the Rabbit is hawt...

Yeah, it's really very impacting on many people. I LOVE boss music to the point where if I can successfully replicate the feeling of the battle in my head in time to the music, I will actually like, ... cry a little. Happy tears. =D (What else would they be? x X.' ) For example, (WARNING: SPOILERS) This alteration of the final battle from Okami gets me every single time. (Probably because it's darker, and much more dire, which I absolutely crave.)

Oh man. Dude, I would love to see that. Pics please.

It's easy for it to happen, especially when someone is so exposed to the internet. There's also a lot of wriggle room when it comes to this. I can't help but laugh when I hear "What is your Sexual orientation?" and then when they hear the answer, they just tilt their head and their jaw goes kinda slack... and the back of their head opens up and their brain pops out and runs under the sink and shoots itself.

AgentLym: I used to do something similar as a child. I'd spend hours making paper ocarinas so I could role-play as Link. I'd draw the front, cut it out with an extra piece of paper behind it so I'd have two identical pieces, then seal them together after stuffing it with tissues or cotton...I have no shame.

[Eddy]

I always go crazy when I see a palindrome (like, level, you can read it back to front). I really dunno why that happens to me but it does.

Don't get me wrong, I love women and junk, but sometimes I feel like dressing like a stereotype homosexual. I'm not kidding. I really get that feeling. I don't really feel to attracted to men, but sometimes I just feel being gay would be nice for some reason.
Sometimes when watching shows, I just say out of no were, that guy looks sexy. Usually when he's not wearing a shirt. I might be joking around with my self but I seriously can't tell if I am or not.

That's actually a good idea, I might do that.

When I was younger (And STILL do) I make replicas of swords and shield out of cardboard from all the Zeldas. They are REALLY impressive, if I do say myself.

Don't worry, you're still young! Don't worry about it too much

Being gay is wrong. If you're a guy, fall in love with a FEMALE. If you're a girl, fall in love with a MALE. Those are rules of life, dude.

Oh, and also, I won't give you any details, but I hadve a stress problem. You heard me.

Dude, that sounds really wrong. It sounds like your following some kind of religion that says being gay is wrong. Well, I used to think that to. But when you turn to a teenager, you whole world turns upside down. You might be a jerk for no reason. You might feel attracted to the same sex. It's not wrong. It's something a person cannot help and truly thinks that's the way it is supposed to be. I take that very offensive. Although I'm not gay. I said I was Bi curious Witch to those who don't know what it means, it means you've had felt attracted to the same sex but still feeling attracted to the opposite sex. It's the middle stage of homosexuality and heterosexuality.
