Interesting things about yourself

[Mwerp]

I remember beating all the NES games I still have when I was ages 2-5.

I have a very good long-term memory but my short-term sucks

The same exact thing happens to me. I haven't played Super Mario 64 in at least six years, yet to this day I can tell you exactly where every single star in that game is located. Same idea with Banjo Kazooie. Hell, it even goes further back than that, to games like A Link to the Past, where I can still guide my friends through dungeons and tell them where heart pieces are even though I haven't played it in like eight years.

Yet on my Physics test I won't remember a simple formula. Because for whatever reason jumping through a fake wall on a mountainside and then going down a long slide is more intuitive for me than the way that light refracts.

I think most people are the same way, Kefit... otherwise, a lot more people would enjoy physics.

I remember weird things, like not any specific genre (gaming, physics, phone numbers, names, what my girlfriend says). I have some numbers completely memorized without even trying, same with some games. Other are like i never played the game before though, it's really random. I have the BIGGEST stoner memory ever, even though like EB i don't do drugs. Like, i can't even remember what i forgot the other day that was so dumb. I think it was like something my brother told me 3 seconds before. I don't remember ah well...=/

The thing with me is that I remember stuff that interests me. Games interest me. Also, when I remember something like that, I usually remember every little minute detail. Even stuff that goes on in the background. Like, some songs I'll hear or games I play will remind me of a conversation I heard or a TV show that was playing in the background. I can't even think of any examples, but sure enough I'll play a game later and get that linked memory thing.

And do you guys ever get that thing where you knew something but as soon as somebody asks about it you forget? Like, you know an actor's name but you're watching a movie and somebody asks "Who is that actor?" and then you forget and get mad and spend half an hour trying to figure out what the dude's name is.

Hm.. interesting things about myself...

I was born a blue baby because I was being choked by my ambilucal cord. The doctors were able to cut the cord a few minutes before I died. I also have a heart murmur . Lets see what else... I've dyed my hair over 40 times, and I've done pretty much every basic color. My left leg is about an inch or so shorter than my right leg, which is why I can't walk in a straight line. I have an incredibly high tolerance for pain, which is why I've skated with three dislocated toes and a bruised tailbone and not had any problems. Despite my asthma and heart murmur, I can still run a mile in 6:55 and the 400 meter dash in under a minute.

I can put my legs behind my neck ............

Talent right there.


I can eat more than a half a carton of Ice-Cream at a serving.

[jennyboo]

hmmm...

I'm ambidextrous-completely not just partially-everything I can do with my right hand I can do with my left

I hate feet, I don't know what it is...if I even think about touching someone elses feet I cringe

I used to take gymnastics when I was younger and I can still do quite a bit of contortionist stuff

Theres something about meatloaf that makes me queasy, when I was a kid I couldn't eat it, and I still can't

I'm also claustrophobic

I lost.. more than that playing DDR.

And I didn't even really concern myself with what I ate either. And linus when you say that, do you mean both legs at once or one leg at a time. Because I can do one leg at a time fairly easily and I don't practice any yoga whatsoever.

[Varia]

lolz arch you used to be a fatty

Fatty McFat you're so fat.

oops typo.

I'm too laid back for my own good. I never really get upset about anything, and I guess I have a real high level of tolerance for things that piss off normal people and/or make them bored.*

[evilbutterfly]

Same here, kinda. I'm really chill about most things, but tiny stuff can set me off sometimes. Like, things can be going completely wrong and I'm like "oh well!" but if I watch my dad play Age of Empires and he doesn't use control groups and does stupid stuff and his catapults end up being in the front and some tiny soldier kills them all, I get so pissed. It won't even be bad for me if he loses, but I just get angry that he sucks so bad and I can't help.

You are my doppelganger! DOPPELGANGER! Or am I the doppelganger?

I'm not paying attention to this thread.

That hurts my feelings

[TACODUDE]

I actually read manuals for stuff. Creepy, huh? And I don't do it as a precaution... I do it when I'm bored. SpOoKy...

[JurseyRider734]

I have tendonitis in my right hand (which is the hand i use to play ffr with) so it has been limiting my ffr playing, and weight lifting =(

[evilbutterfly]

Awwwwww, poor Jursey. That would kill me if I couldn't play games all day because of some stupid tendonitis. I'd yell at. YOU STUPID PROBLEM IN MY HAND >.<

Yeah, it'd be like that.

That's an interesting thing about myself. I talk to inanimate objects, all the time. Kinda like a guy yelling at football players on the TV (PASS IT!!! PASS!! GO GO GO!! stuff like that) I fuss at computer opponents. "WTF was that!? Shoot me in the face, I'll show you! Yeah, you like that, bitch, I got more flak for your ass RIGHT HERE!" Also, when I play BF1942 and I'm flying, I've found myself making the airplane noises (VWOOSH! MRRRRRRRRrrrRRRRRRR ZIIIIIING!) while flying around and I make the machine gun noises too (BEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE POW PSSSSSHCOW BEHEHEHEHEHE!!). This wouldn't be that weird except that the my speakers are usually already way up playing those noises already...I dunno, I get way into things sometimes...
