Weird Trivia Facts About You

Post Reply New Topic

What are some weird facts about you? A couple of mine are:
1)I have been in South Carolina twice. Both times was because I got lost and had to turn around. Once on the Georgia border, once on the North Carolina border.
2)I made the last out of the season for my softball team for seven straight seasons.
3)I learned how to calculate square roots before I learned how to tie my shoes.

- I was obsessed with Elmo and Sesame Street until after the start of highschool.

My album collection during high school (yes I'm old)
Led Zepplin
Black Sabbath
Pink Floyd
Blue Oyster Cult
Billy Squire
Diana Ross

I like the Teletubbies.

I have a blue birthmark. Two, actually. On the same arm.

A blue birth mark? Cool!

I've loved video games ever since I was eight. I have five different systems at the moment (though one broke...) and fifty different games - at least.
My eyes love to change colour depending on what I'm wearing and my mood.
I'm double jointed, though mainly in my thumbs and pinkies. It really helps to play the flute

I almost forgot that I did not learn to speak until I was 3 1/2 years old. But my first word was "apostrophe."

I once built a still in my dad's basement.

I was the first of my siblings to graduate high school.

My fingerprints are on file with the F.B.I.

I was contacted by my advisor in college in my junior year, about my degree. I was failing calculus (not taking trig doesn't help, and seeing in one week everything 'you're not going to see this later'), so I switched from a BS in Business admin to a BA. I was the only one...I graduated top of my class, as well as the bottom...

I take partial credit for saving the Swamp Fox roller coaster in Myrtle Beach, SC from demolition in the late 1980s. I got the coaster ranked in the top ten wooden coasters in the late 1980s and it achieved enough notoriety that the owner kept it open long enough for the Sea Mist Resort Hotel to purchase the park---otherwise the park would have been torn down to make way for condos.

I collect 1920s era blueprints to roller coasters.

I have a 1928 original blueprint for a roller coaster that was never built---and it is the only blueprint of this coaster in existence in the world. Someday, I hope to interest an amusement park into building it. For now, I am content with my HO scale replica of the coaster. It is an extremely severe and intense roller coaster that was intended to outdo the Coney Island Cyclone.

I have a piece of fabric off of the 1920s era Graf Zeppelin airship---sister ship of the Hindenburg.

I have George and Kathy Lutz's autograph. They were the couple that the famous Amityville Horror novel was written about. They were said to have fled in terror, along with their children and dog, after only 28 days in the house. I have always been a fan of the Amityville Horror, and my house has quarter round windows in it like the ones from that famous house. Interesting to note is that when the contractor was installing those window in my house, house flies constantly flocked to those windows, and as the contractor was bolting the windows in place he fell off his ladder and landed on his drill---imbedding the drill bit into his leg. He had to go to the hospital to be treated.

I have the master dub reel of what became a gold record in 1978. (As you can tell, I love one of a kind types of memorabilia).

My best friend and I escaped from a 4-H camp when we were in grade school years ago.

When I was in high school, I bowled in a bowling tournament and beat the great Earl Anthony (pro bowler hall of famer and first millionaire of bowling. He also held the record for most tournament titles).

When I was in college, I drove an hour an a half to the university everyday and toured with a southern gospel quartet on the weekends---and bowled in a league once a week. I never want to be that busy again. I used to do my college homework on board our bus.

I have eight tattoos---very few people know this.

I have placed in a time capsule in Ohio the revealing of an arcaelogical discovery that could change the course of history. Well, we all have to have our mysteries.

There are other things that are eccentric about me, but this should suffice for now.

My wife has off-center pupils.

I always have to straighten my pencils before a test.

I'm still obsessed with the Pokemon games

One of my ribs is formed in a bit. It doesn't affect anything, it just looks weird

I straighten things when nervous or bored.
As a kid I didn't like to travel with the windows up, because of the monoxide carbon.
As a kid I didn't eat sausage for years because they could contain some stuff I saw on tv.
I still watch cartoons.
I always carry a knife. A swiss army one, don't worry (: I'm on my fourth or fifth knife that I've used and abused.
Even today, I don't like to eat from where someone put their used fork or spoon in the food when serving more. Now I just grumble but I do it (: Progress! yay!
I "rotate" my wrists, a stim maybe?

As I was writing this, I came to realize that: I twitch my smallest LEFT hand finger when nervous or worried. My LEFT leg too And my LEFT shoulder when trying to sleep or when trying to calm down
... and my LEFT elbow too!! !!
Not at the same time BTW =P

EDIT:
Also, as a kid and well late into 10 or 12 years old, I had trouble knowing what was the sound for "busy" on the phone and what was the sound for "dialing". So many times when my mom told me to call my grandma or anyone, I think I called but then hang up

Oh, and I just was told that as a kid, when someone called and I answered, and no one was in the house but me and the caller left a message, I never told my mom

EDIT 2: I never leave the house without going through a mental check list, and don't make me talk about leaving the house on vacations...
._.

I used to know the sister of Davey Jones of The Monkees. And according to her, it's true that it was Mike Nesmith's mom who invented whiteout.

I have dark circles under my eyes that never go away.

I often forget my handedness, and write with my left hand, which feels uncomfortable. It takes me a while to remember that it's easier to use my right.
