  • When I experience something supposedly painful, my brain doesn't register the pain but I go into shock and pass out. It's very embarrassing. For example, when I got my belly button pierced I was all like "hey that wasn't so bad, almost no pain at a- oh wait, tunnel vision...shi- *thwock*."
  • My right elbow has a loose piece of bone inside it just slipping about. I got smacked in the arm with a hockey ball at school. A fun party game is to get people to push it around.
  • I can fit my fist into my mouth. Who needs a University degree with a skill like that huh?
  • About 75% of my dreams are fully lucid. When I was in playgroup I dreamt that I went to my bathroom and there was a little green alien sitting there and I said "well, you're not real, this is a dream" and from then on I've always lucid dreamed. I only started having regular dreams again a few years ago. If it's a good dream I sit back and enjoy it; if it's bad I'll wake myself up but then I get...
  • ...sleep paralysis. On average once a week I get this I think, it's such a pain in the ass.
  • I can still put both my feet behind my neck. I like doing this and then rolling about on my back like a stranded beetle. (and I wonder why people no longer talk to me?!?!)
  • I can lie on my front and bend myself backwards enough to have my toes lie on my forehead.
    • I used to be a little bit of a contortionist in my gymnastics days. However I can no longer do extended splits, that was probably dangerous anyway.
  • My toenails curve sideways, almost turning 180 degrees. It's hard to describe but I hope everyone understands it's very painful sometimes!
  • If you touch one of my ears then that whole side of my body erupts in goosebumps. You can see the divide down my spine. I think this is weird but then I don't know if anyone else gets this because it isn't the sort of thing you ask someone.
