"interesting (and weird) facts about yourself" thread

I high-sided my motorcycle doing 100+! It hurt.

 

Pics or it aint true! LOL JK

 

I'm an Eagle Scout.

 

when i was four a cat jumped on my head.
so now i have a scar from my left eye down and another above my lip that had to be glued back togerther.

 

Wow, you guys are fucked up! Makes me feel much more normal.

I've had mild to moderate tinnitus (ringing in your ears) for as long as i can remember, but when i don't consciously think about it i don't even notice it. I only ever notice it if it's dead silent and i'm really bored. Overall doesn't bother me at all and i actually have great hearing.

I've never broken a bone although i feel like i really should have on many many occasions. I attribute that to habitually drinking absurd amounts of milk my whole life.

when i was very young i remember having extreme light sensitivity when i first woke up. sometimes i couldn't open my eyes for several minutes just from regular house light (with the lights on). I eventually completely grew out of it but every once in a while it happens just a little bit. (i'm 22)

 

I've skied 25 different ski area's and skied down Mt. Rainier from the 10,000' level a few times. Been to the summit of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams. Backpacked around 500 miles in the Cascades and Olympics.

 

this is probably lame but. i almost have no vision in my left eye from a fire cracker incident. i shot out a back window of a jeep with my red rider BB gun. im a virgin. i got 2nd place in the state of FL of skills USA in the Diesel mechanics contest 1st place in regional competition. busted my chin open outside of blockbuster. I collect guns and knives.had a tracking device on my truck for 3 years because i got in an accident. all i can think of now.

 

I got road rash all over my face when I was younger for pushing my toy truck on the ground and it hitting an extension cord going to my dad's Matco Tool truck. The toy truck stopped, I didn't. Before that I rode my bike into the back of the truck and had a fat lip and knocked a tooth out. I was severely dehydrated when I was younger and had to get an I.V. They tried 9 times before they got it. We had our septic system redone and the ground still had tire tracks from the front end loader and the ground froze like that. I had to move a non working push mower to the back yard and slipped cause the ground made the mower stop moving forward, slipped cause of it, and had to get a couple stitches in my knee. Last year, after the practice before our first hockey game of the year, I hit my head and got a concussion and 3 staples. I have eaten 52 stories up by Niagara Falls. I'm a lacrosse goalie. I lost all my teeth by the middle of fifth grade. Had braces until the the beginning of 8th grade. Got my wisdom teeth removed at 15 (last year). Broken my left thumb in two different spots and my left hand once, both from lacrosse. I love to lift. Mountain biking to mountain tops by my house during the spring and summer is what I enjoy.
I have pics of some of the things upon request. Here is my head after getting staples...

 

Cherokee County! Nice! I'm from Fannin Co. Whole different world between North GA and Cali, huh?

 

"Cherokee County! Nice! I'm from Fannin Co. Whole different world between North GA and Cali, huh"

It is definitely different but all in good ways. I took my wife back with me in 2005 for my HS reunion and on the approach into ATL she just looked out the window and said, "there's so much GREEN!" lol. She's a Cali Native. But that wore off and she and I both got bored out of our skulls within a day. I've stayed out here in this extremely misunderstood state for a lot of good reasons. Haven't been back to GA since 05. Got all the green and wilderness I miss from home, minus the humidity, bugs and blue laws I used to miss the quiet at night but then I reminded myself I grew up next to train tracks ...that were next to highway 5, lol. I just moved to another part of town out here and I'm right near a highway again (feels like home) surrounded by green and in a quiet neighborhood ...difference is I have the deserts and mountains and beaches all within an hour or two drive.

I know some non Cali guys will wanna flame on this post. Seems to be in the blood everywhere besides here! But I love me some Cali and this southern boy is never leavin'! 'Sides, my parents are gone and the house I grew up in is a rental property now. Home really is where ya make it ...or for all the Marines here, home is where the Marine Corps sends you. They sent me here, I stayed.
