Five-Weird-Things-About-You Game

[BroSCFischer]

1. I have always been a night person, often staying up well past midnight on a school night reading, yet, I never fell asleep in class.

2. I must always be doing something with my hands. I usually play with a lick of hair right at the forehead.

3. I have a hard time enjoying movies based on books, due to the necessary abridgement required to put it on film. I find it annoying when unnecessary changes are made (like the name of The General's Daughter). I readJurassic Park before seeing the movie and spent the whole movie picking it apart. I refuse to watch The Count of Monte Cristo due to the fact it bears little resemblence to the novel. I long for and accurate reproduction of the unabridged novel.

4. I ENJOY reading classic books. I mention this because I have gotten weird looks for it. I once brought a copy of The Count of Monte Cristo to a night shift. I was asked by someone if it was for a class, I told her no, I was reading it on my own, she gave me a look, then I mentioned it was my 5th time reading it through, and she gave me another one. I also enjoy REreading books, I always find something I missed the 1st time through.

5. I am an "Old Soul." I like black and white movies, and Old Time Radio shows. When I have a movie to show my mom, she asks me if it's "one of those old fogey black and white movies." She's 54 and I am 30.

Not sure how weird I actually am, but this is what I can think of.

Ok y'all are officially weird But it's ok.

I'm also a klutz and have the scars to prove it myself....I just burned my hand on a bread machine the other day...and have a burn mark on my inner arm from a pan in the oven that was recently acquired. I've burned my legs on motorcycle tail pipes twice..and have burned myself with an iron countless times. I'm always hitting my toes on shit, broke a toe once hitting a shoe with my foot. And I believe I mentioned breaking my arm in the stupidest way possible already. Probably mentioned being a klutz already too but I thought I'd list out other injuries

[fireheart]

According to my baby books I was crawling at 4 1/2 months and sitting at 7 months O.o

BroScFischer, you're as weird as I am; I can relate to your list. telecom_goddess, unless you broke your arm because the chair you were dancing on tipped over, you're not as weird as me!

Oh no I tripped over nothing and pushed my hand on a cube wall....broke the upper bone and paralyzed my arm from the elbow down to my fingers, due to radial nerve damage. THAT is weird.

More?
6) Whenever I buy a toy, I flip the package, first thing, to see if they are wearing underwear.
7) As long as I know the words, I will sing along to anything, like it or not. "You like Backstreet Boys?" "Only BackStreet's back, and only for the make up for the video (that might explain why I've been interested in the Monster High dolls recently...), otherwise, no."
8) I intentionally misspell things when I'm being playful online.
9) Otherwise, I'm very particular about spelling things properly, and notice spelling errors/grammar errors/math errors on signs, and will point them out daily to people until they're corrected to shut me up.
10)I LOVE PINK, and, for some reason, coworkers never expect that.
11) The only scene that has ever broken me down on my first viewing was "Come what May" in Moulin Rouge, even if Ewan MacGregor's pitiful wail afterwards is more glurgy than heart wrenching.
12) My favorite movie is probably "Duck Soup", or, really, any Marx Brothers movie... which surprised my dad when I unwrapped "A Night at the Opera" that Christmas... "You like the Marx Brothers?" ... "How did you miss that month where I rented a Marx Brothers movie basically every single day from the library?"
13) I prefer to re-experience things I know I like than to try out new things that I might enjoy...
14) I don't form emotional attachments to things very often. "Huh, my best friend's family is moving away? Oh well, at least I got the chance to know her." whereas: "I don't think Boy scouts is right for me," was near impossible to say from how choked up I got.
15) I learned to say my ZYX's, just so I can mess with people. Also, in case I ever get pulled over and tested... "Say your ABC's backward!" "Sure." *ten seconds later* "There."

Fireheart, I was walking at nine months-- I had crawled out of my crib in the middle of the night! gave my poor parents yet another heart attack.
AnaKhouri, your 1st is awesome.
Your 4th isn't that uncommon from what I understand. Parents are usually "lolwut?" with their first son's parts. They're all out of proportion, from what I understand. but the first thing you say? that's funny!/stops poking at the then-drugg'd person
