Something people don't know about you

134
I remember on the very old forums there was this topic, and it was a really good interesting read.
The idea is for members to post something that people don't know about them, either some unusual detail, some impactful moment of their lifes, or pretty much anything.

My only detail that I can think of is that I was hit by a drunken driver when I was around 8, and they told me (or I guess my parents at the time) that I would never be able to use my left side again. This of course didn't happen, and because of the settlement there is a trustfund waiting for me when I turn 18.


But I would be really interested to hear some things from the frequent posters of the board

    I am so flexible that I can touch the soles of my feet to the top of my head, reach around my back and scratch my bellybutton, and more.

    My girlfriend loves it. >:)

    I broke my arm in a moshpit. I didn't know it was broken, so I went to Hooters with my friend, went to his house, drove myself home, showered, and went to sleep. The next morning it was still extremely swollen and still hurt like hell, so I went to the emergency room.

    I've broken my arms 3 times (left twice, right once), I got kicked in the chest in a mosh pit which broke a rib, I've broken knuckles from punching walls, fingers, thumbs, toes... You name it! BROKEN!
    I've been hit by a car in the fourth grade, I've been hit in the head with a cricket bat at full swing, I've been a few car accidents (nothing serious), I've set myself on fire and have a fair few burn scars from playing with fire.
    It's a wonder I'm still alive...

    Do you pee directly into the coffee pot in the break room, do you take it to the restroom, or do you pee into a separate container and then pour it into the coffee pot? I think peeing into a separate container and then pouring it into the pot would be best... preferably a non-clear container.

    I've survived 8 car crashes, in 4 of them the car was a write off.

    In the worst of them, the car span about 720 degrees horizontally after it collided with a grass embankment ( the driver was trying to show off, see how fast and tight he could take the corners), it flipped onto the roof and span a further 360 degrees.

    When it stopped spinning it was so compressed that we needed to kick out the remains of the windscreen so we could get out.

    That one happened on the night the first episode of the Xfiles aired in Scotland, 5 minutes after the episode ended and we went to drive home in the rain along the road from the caravan park that ran parallel to a 300foot drop into the tree line, the car was a few feet from the edge when it stopped spinning.

    It didn't feel so bad, I could feel it was coming (after 6 crashes by this point I was developing a sense for them) and at the time it just felt sort of surreal and you end up surrendering control and waiting for the ride to end in much the same way as you do on a fairground ride.

    After walking back up to the camp to get help, then driving back down with friends to the crash site, it was very alarming seeing the increasing trail of debris and destruction leading up to the car and I found myself expecting to find a dead body despite knowing there was none.

    I felt I understood something fundamental about emotional detachment when I realized I was conditioned perhaps by watching action films enough that I was primed to expect to feel shock when seeing the aftermath from a 3rd person, 1st person, our own experiences seemed less real in comparison.

    I never had a scratch on me in any of the crashes and I was never the driver.

    Here's mine -

    Not only did I consider professional wrestling as a future career for myself, I actually trained, obtained a ring, trained others and performed a few times to an audience. It was alot of fun...but WAY too many injuries.

    I also formed a rock band as a hobby and sang lead vocals...did a few shows. Great fun, I'd like to start again but it's hard to find the right people.

    I used to smoke pot with my friends before going to school when I was about 13 or 14, not only that but we would also take magic mushrooms at lunch time.

    only because they grew in a field behind my house.

    that's why I only got 1 GCSE, although I lied and told my college I got 3.

    Almost every time i close my eyes, it feels like I'm having an "out of body experience".

    I have flat feet, yet can run a 5 minute mile, and 100 meters in 10.7 seconds (world record: 9.77 seconds).

    Last year I tore both my hamstrings in a nationally ranked track meet, and had to go through 5 months of physical therapy so that I could walk/run without a limp.

    I've had someone die in my arms. They were rock climbing near Cannon Beach, Oregon without ropes. We saw him climbing and said "oh that's interesting." got distracted by something, only to have our eyes catch his body tumbling backwards off the cliff two seconds later. I ran to him as my brother called for an ambulance. We performed CPR, but he died before the medics could get down to the beach where he landed on wet sand.

    I was once extremely deadly with my slammer at the game Pogs. I won hundreds of Pogs!

    For my 22nd birthday I ate so much, then got so drunk I filled 2 sinks with vomit.

    Several years as a kid I would collect bugs in jars, I would have rows of dozens of jars filled with pill bugs, bees, beatles, etc etc and I would even clean their habitats daily.

    I lost my virginity on Martin Luther King Jr Day.

    I died during a traumatic birth, I shouldn't be here. I then went through an experimental drug phase a few years ago and overdosed, I was hospitalised and my heart stopped for a brief 12-sec period. Ofcourse since then I can't even take the smell/look of anything other than common smoking/alcohol, it makes me feel like puking.
    Not quite sure if that counts as dying twice but either way I'm ridiculously lucky to even be alive.

    I fought forest fires to fund my winters snowboarding in Oregon and Montana for a few years. Saw some pretty cool shit.

    Saw the worlds record naked figure 8's at Crested Butte while tripping on mushrooms and had one of my best days ever snowboarding.


    I drove a friend 200 miles in a snowstorm through the mountains to get an Elvis costume so he could sneak into the first ever MTV extreme skiing comp unannounced.

    Interesting read.

    Not that I think I have an excellent grasp of the language but I had outstanding English grades at high school thanks to the grammar and vocabulary I grabbed from computer games. The teachers and other students would think I studied the textbooks like mad.

    And I had henoch schonlein when I was 7 which was a pretty bad time for both me and my family. Times like this makes the good times even more valuable.
