Something odd about me....

I love to swim, whether in a pool, ocean, river, or lake; but I also have (and always have had) a horrible fear of drowning. It's not to the point of where I won't go into the water, but I have this awful feeling anytime I'm swimming in deep water. It's not even that I am scared of the depth of the water per se, but just have this fear. I've had  a few dreams where I was drowning, too.  (Not that it stops me swimming......now it's just my legs that do that! lol  )

I am right handed.  But, at the day job, I often take notes with my left hand...because I can.

I can't roll my r's or whistle and no one has ever been able to teach me to do either.

While I can whistle, I don't have a decent whistling range, but I can't roll my r's either - no matter how many times my grandmother demonstrated the "art" to me.

I can whistle well, I can roll my r's, and I can also roll my tongue into a 'w' shape.

wow never seen that before. That must be really rare.

lol. It's something I have done for years. lol To this day, I have yet to see anyone else do it, bar a couple times on t.v.. If I can post a photo, I will. lol 

Just out of curiosity (and not to hijack the thread lol) if I wanted to insert a photo in one of my posts, how would I?

if i am brushing my teeth the toilet lid has to be down...no matter what..

 

ya ever get a triple crack on the toes? I get at least one each day. Ah pure bliss. Then the neck, then the back.

Damn I knew I should have married a chiropractor or an osteopath...maybe next time

I have been to a chiropractor before but I can't get over someone else cracking my back, neck  - gives me the heebie jeebies. But I do love to have my back crack when I'm stretching......ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I have also found that a lot of things will crack when I turn, get up, ect. Guess the warranty is starting to expire on some things. 

Couple more odd bits about me - I shed like a dog.....my hair (from my head) is so thick it comes out in clumps sometimes - hair is everywhere and I'm constantly going after it with the dustbuster!

I cannot stand to see maggots/larvae/pupae or hear the words even, makes me want to puke - or anything that resembles them.

I cannot stand to hear leather squeak as in shoes, seats, ect - makes my skin crawl.

I used to collect rocks as a kid, even the ones from the driveway - what is funny is my daughter does it now!

I shave my whole arm - cannot stand hair on them.

I can make my one eye roll on a side while the other one is straight   it looks a bit creepy though. 

I like the smell of a cigarette when it is JUST being lit.. that FIRST  piuff and after that  rancid!!

Me too..weird!!

I love the smell of cigarettes too... but only outside in the open air.  There's something nice about the smoke mingling with the fresh air.   Cigarette smoke inside a room, however, is another matter... i hate it... all cooped up and stale. 

i am a nurse and i am overly interested in the birthdates of my patients. i always relate them by day, month or year to someone i know...........

i have a fear of getting (catching??  contracting??  you get the picture) lice.  i think it stems from when i had it when i was a kid....but the fear didn't start until about 10 years ago.
