I'm not that interesting, but here's a few things about me I guess you could consider interesting.

1.) My hair has been brown, blonde, red, black, orange, blue, pink, grey, and purple (sometimes more than one of those colours at the same time.)

2.) A relative of mine (by marriage not by blood) wrote "The Gangs of New York", another distant relative by mine (again by marriage) made "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer"

3.) My town was recently voted the 32nd best town to live in in the United States. There's also a famous murderer who lives here, who used to go to church with my family, and I went to high school with his son.

4.) My doctor when I was a baby was Reese Witherspoon's grandpa.

5.) Me, my brother, and my mom all know how to play saxophone.

6.) I can recite every word to the stage version of RENT, and often do so to pass time.

1.) I could read at and 8th grade reading level when I was still in elementary school.
2.) my 5th grade teacher wrote in my report card that it was unlikely that I would be able to go to college, let alone make it through middle school. ( I graduated last year and I am currently in my second term at college :D )
3.)Before I was diagnosed, my mother suspected that I was an "indigo child". I read an article about indigo children and thought she was crazy.

Good for you! My mom always told me there was absolutely no way I would finish high school on time, and I definitely wouldn't make it in college. Well, I did finish high school on time and I'm now in my second semester of college. :] Never let anyone tell you you can't do something.

My kindergarten teacher said I would never learn English. I wound up getting a Master's in English.

I had my first epileptic fit in an R.E. class. Sadly, nobody thought I was speaking in tongues :)

there was a time in my life when I was convinced that I had invented how to multiply by 4.

My dad taught me how to count using a digital clock. Because of that, I thought the number system ended at 59 until I reached the 2nd grade.

I have been on 5 of the top 10 fastest roller coasters in the world, which happen to be the top 5 fastest in the country.

I can make a weird croaky noise with my throat.

I can recite the name of every English voice actor for Hellsing Ultimate (excluding those for unnamed minor characters).

When my mom was pregnant with me, I was screened for Down's Syndrome and tested positive. I think I may have traces of it, because I have the physical sign of an abnormally large gap between my first and second toes.

As a young kid, I thought that previous to 1492, the ocean was some other color prior to Columbus sailing it blue.

Also as a kid, I hated fish, but really did think tunafish was some sort of sea chicken.

I could say the alphabet backwards when I was 4. This came about because my dad and my uncle had some stupid bet about who could learn the alphabet backwards first. Then I just walked out and said it.

When I was in 7th grade, I was originally 10th place in the spelling bee. But I only lost then because I gave the Canadian spelling of license (licence in Canada). I grew up in Buffalo on the Canadian border, watching just as much Canadian TV as American. They let me back in the spelling bee, and I came in 4th. For the rest of middle school, everyone claimed I cheated in the spelling bee.

I had a hand in building the circuit boards that controlled the lighting for the half-time show at Super Bowl XL. And I hate sports.

I just watched that halftime show on Wednesday! With the Rolling Stones! U2 was better though.

I always say the least offensive of the many things that come to mind - people who don't know me think I'm rude or purposely cruel, people who know me applaud me for being less offensive than I could've been
