Me too on both of these! Though I don't swim much (I dislike water in general), I don't mind ocean or pool water, but shower water needs to stay outta the eyes!
Coffee is icky. |

OMG - I just look at a milk shake or a smoothie and get extreme brain freeze. I think my palette is super thin. |

I made it through college without coffee, I don't even mind it too much just don't bother having it. Maybe when I grow up. :P
Although, not drinking coffee and having to check my alarm twice are probably related. :) |

I think I heard that explained as part of your brain shutting down to sleep in the wrong order. The part of your brain that senses gravity shuts down before some conscious part does and the conscious part thinks you are falling...so you involuntarily reach out to grab something.
I also can't sit at a restaurant without being able to see the main entrance. My dad is a cop and has done this for years. When we eat together, my dad wins out and I get stuck watching the emergency exit or the back door.
edit to add: I have never seen anyone come through a door that wasn't a patron of the eatery.

Oh, and I hear voices too. I hear unintelligible conversations and/or music in the oscillating hum of ACs, fans etc. I also have heard my name called numerous times when no one was around. |
I have thought more than once that I was losing my mind because of this. |
OMG! I love you guys! I thought I was the only one - and my b/f thinks I might be crazy, but he's okay with that. |
I too, have feared the thought of going crazy. This is why I never got into drugs. Although one night I got really, really high to the point of being almost catatonic. As I lay on my bed the ceiling fan voices started talking to the AC voices (loudly)! One of the most maddening nights of my life!
Last night I was watching the local channel that shows the sex offenders. It plays instrumental music in the BG. I sat up and heard a distinctive child's voice in my ear. It said something about a "sheriff". I asked my husband if he heard it. He was right next to me. He didn't and confirmed that it didn't come from the TV. Children are not allowed in our park, and our home is very soundproof. ???
I'm only confessing this because one of the sites renowned physicians has admitted to hearing explosions in his head;)
jdannels, I sleep with my "Warm Fuzzy", which is a small fleece blanket, wrapped around my head and eyes.

Thought of a few more. I also cannot stand to have my face touched and I've never had a facial or a massage.
I see "magic numbers" on the clock all the time. Magic numbers like 3:33 or 11:11 or 12:34 or 12:21. For almost 3 weeks straight last year I woke up at 5:55 every morning. Freaked me out because I think that seeing a magic number means something is going to happen, could be bad or good. Nothing happened.
Some numbers might not look magic but when you really look at them, they are. For example, 2:48 is a magic number because 2x4=8. Or 12:14 because 1+2+1=4.

And you posted that at a magic number as well 6:42, because 6-4 is 2 =0) |

I have a geographic tongue. It gets white splotches that change shape and little red bumps. It also has deep cracks all over it. I can't eat walnuts, carrots or pineapple because they make my tongue feel burned for hours after.
I don't like orange juice but will often drink it in the morning "because you are supposed to".
My favorite hobbies are photography, 3D animation, and building / inventing stuff but I recently realized that I spend the majority of my time reading about other people who like to do "my" hobbies and spend very little time actually doing them myself.
I hate reading books to the point of telling people I never learned to read but spend hours reading stuff online everyday.
I love being touched but people have always seemed afraid of touching me.
I also eat candies by color.
I search a bag of Doritos for the chips with the most cheese even though I can't taste a difference between any of the chips.
I always eat my food one thing at a time in order of preference from worst to best.
Texture is almost as important with food as taste is.
I can't bring myself to leave food on my plate.
I proposed to my wife before I met her in person.
I moved to Colorado to marry her having never been to Colorado.
I then moved to Virginia having never been to the east coast.
I love electronics and gadgets but every few years (when single) I get rid of almost everything I own as a sort of cleansing. I tend to be happier the less stuff I have.
Aside from meeting my neighbors to the left and right of me once I can't name a single person's name in this town. I've lived here 5 years.

I search through the potato chip bag for the chips that are folded over. I can't bothered with the other ones. |

O.K.
I CANNOT AND WILL NOT drink milk from another persons house (puke) My sisters yell at me for that, like they're diseased.
I WILL NEVER under no circumstance eat in the bathroom.
CHEESE AND CHOCOLATE!! YUMMY!!
I survived a lawn mower (yes lawn mower) accident. I can still hear my grandma's voice "If those baldes were down we'd be picking your pieces up all over the yard."
Sense of ghosts, feel, hear, and seen the little girl with her kitten that lives in my house, been woken up from the knocks from the other side of my bedroom wall, coming from the bathroom. It's not scary, I'm used to it, now.
When I was young, we lived next door to my grandma, I was terrified of her bedroom and bathroom, never ever stayed the night in that house, one night my sister Connie, slept in the bedroom and actually witnessed a ghost. Better her than me, because it was always a bad feeling that I felt coming from there.
My daughter sleeps the same way as rox_rox, and I think thats odd.

When we were kids we used to call those "wish chips" and make a wish when we ate them.

Well I'll be, I have that too. Always thought part of my brain blew up. And sometimes my head pulls....well, more my face.....kind of draws to one side....pulls, if you know what I mean.

ok, so nobody else has a fear of puking?!?!?
Just me?!?!
Guess I'm weirder than I thought.
Another weird fact about me: I grew up in a haunted house.

My wife has a fear of puking. On the flip side I vomited almost daily for 3 years. |

If you are that sensitive, your daughter may be sleeping that way for the same reason I started. Those traits are often hereditary. I've had "Night Visitors" since I was a child, and covering my head was the only way I could get to sleep. |

Hmmm. What am I willing to admit to?
1. I have to have a fan blowing on my face when I sleep. I even bring fans with me to hotels. (Makes camping interesting).
2. I have to sleep naked.
3. I leave the window open during the winter so that the bedroom is really, really cold; then cover up in about 5-6 blankets.
4. I have to pop all my joints before going to sleep.
5. I have to lie on my back for a couple of minutes and then slowly bring my right knee up the side of my body until my hip joint pops before going to sleep.
6. I ALWAYS start sleeping on my right side (with occasional rolling over to my left). This usually means I cut the circulation off to my right arm at night.
7. I wake up immediately when the alarm starts going off. My wife won't even know the alarm went off and I'll already be out of bed and across the room and have it shut off (generally, my getting out of bed is what wakes her).
8. I HATE MORNINGS, but have to get up at 5am to start work. *ugh*
I've just realized that most of my "odd" things revolve around sleeping. I don't even usually get that much sleep--6 hours a night. |
