I have a birthmark on the back of my right ankle. It is pretty big.
I was actually told by a neurologist that the skin and brain form at the same time, and if there is an error with the brain a birthmark will form. I don't know how true that is, but it is interesting. |

| I am the opposite. I love pizza for example but if I had to eat it every day I wouldn't love it after a while. I love food and will try just about anything. The only thing I will no longer try is anything that used to swim in a lake or ocean. Every time I have tried any seafood it was nasty. |

| I saw another thread about sense of direction and it got me thinking. I seem to have an extra sense that no one else I know can relate to. I can sense if someone is sneaking up on me or approaching me without actually seeing them. I don't really know how to explain it, but I am always tuned in subco... |

| I didn't know if I should put this in the parent section or put it here. As you know I have a younger brother who is high functioning autistic. I have come on here with several problems before concerning him, like eating the leaves of Christmas trees, staring at walls for hours, and his extreme obs... |

| I have been told I have selective hearing. I swear sometimes I don't "hear" what people are telling me, and sometimes I hear whispers I'm not supposed to hear. Here is an example: Parent: "Hey. Are you gonna do the dishes?" Me: *keeps doing nothing* Parent: "Christy!" Me: "What?" Parent: "I thought... |

| I listen to some songs for the lyrics, but primarily for the music. For whatever reason, I am attracted to certain basslines and certain unsual guitar effects. I also like a lot of synth sounds. If I listen to Lady Gaga, it is not for the lyrics. It is because I am intrigued by the synth in the bac... |

| Do you guys listen to music mostly for the lyrics or the music its self? I sometimes like the lyrics to a song, but most of the time I am just listening to the music. I like really upbeat sounding music. I think that is why I really don't know the words or the names of a lot of songs, except ones I ... |

| I have noticed that I have always loved reciting lines from TV shows. I find it easy to memorize things, and quite often don't even have to try! When alone, I am often not at all quiet like a "normal" person. I pace around repeating things over and over again that I think are funny, and reciting li... |

Apparently, there was a smell outside of my dorm room that they thought had been coming from my room, though I'm also the room next to the stairwell. While I'm not saying that I haven't smoked before, I certainly haven't on campus. J... |

| Reading the other topic about getting to sleep, it made me think of this one. Does anyone here ever wake up in the middle of the night but you can not move at all. Like I mean at all can't breathe or anything. It is terrible, I can't shout for help.. Only move my eyes around and hopelessly try to mo... |

| This is why sculpture was one of my favorite classes. Not only I get to be creative, but I also get the chance to squish my hands into some cool wet clay. It's such a wonderful feeling. Even when I was little I enjoyed the feeling of Play-Doh in my hands. Most of the time I wouldn't even mold it in... |

| When I was younger I could never sleep. I would literally lay in bed awake until the sun came up. I would miss school some times because I was way too tired to go. I always got in trouble too. Even though I tried my hardest to sleep I never could. Within the last 3 or 4 years I am able to get to sle... |

Now, whenever I'm under the lights at my school I start to feel dizzy and headachy and just really tired. Sometimes I even get nauseous... |
