Ah, I see. So it was not an intentional attempt to destroy a hard drive.

Sometimes I review a post on zafur so many times that I edit the nit picky bits up to three to four times without anyone noticing.

Goodness knows why I don't do it before I send it. Somehow I don't see it until I'm done and "happy with it"

Hmm. The mayo tips the scale on that one. When I was 16, I drunkenly discovered the magic that is peanut butter and cheese spread on toast. Much experimentation in later years yielded the knowledge that the best combination is Melrose cheddar with skippy

I often get sharp shooting pains in certain areas around my abdomen. they've been checked out by a doc and there's nothing unusual to report... but I still get them. when i get them i literally force myself to move through pain. i do this with any and all pain/ailment.

why i think this is unique? because most girls i know of who have pain anywhere near their abdomen are incapacitated for a few days... I purposefully choose to ignore it.

i do that with all pains by the way... like going for a jog when i have acid reflux, driving home when half my foot was an open wound from my horse standing on it... i have a hairline split in my pelvic seat from a horse riding injury, i got back on my horse and jumped for another 20 minutes after it...

Sounds familiar to what happens to me. Is it possible you got any back problems as it sounds more like nerves pinching giving you feelings of pain when there is in fact nothing wrong .
I got no back problems but due to the high volume of additional nerve endings in my spine do they pinch frequently though.

I'm a ginger, I have twice as many nerve endings in my body as normal people (it's part of the mutation that causes our hair to go red)... so i feel pain differently to other people... including feeling it where it doesn't exist...

it's usually remedied by chocolate...

I swear we didn't wake them. And again we have the neighbours above us who "hammer" every other evening and about 5-6 times on the weekend days.

I understand the implications of this reply there is literally no other kind of explanation for it. We think it's just housework...but at 11:30 in the evening?

My dual screen setup is a chaotic mess, and I love it like that. Both screens are of different sizes and resolutions, and the screen that the computer thinks is on the left, is on the right and the one on the right, on the left. Anyone who uses my workstation usually gets really frustrated and gives up on whatever they were doing.

Whenever I'm staying up late to do work (usually math and engineering) and I know I'm alone, I loudly narrate everything I do in the third person, almost as if there’s an omnipresent group of ghosts watching me. But every session the narrator changes, once he was an Irish comedian, the other time he was from the Gestapo and once I narrated as Steve Erwin ( yeah I guess this is why I'm pretty good at voice changing and impressions)

Whenever I'm embarrassed my hand instinctively goes up and rubs my slightly discoloured left eye. I only realised that I've been doing this my whole life 2 weeks ago.

This probably isn't that unique, but during sad and tragic movies/series/books, instead of showing sadness I instinctively smirk. I probably learned this quirk from when I was little and wanted to appear tough to everyone.
This has caught me out though, and I need to stop. Once in history class I was half grinning during the climax of a holocaust documentary, and someone pointed this out to the class and I've kinda had this slight reputation since.


Ooh and I make small amouts of thermite and burn it at the beach when I'm bothered about something. (shhh... its totes legal)

And something else, as you can see from the timestamp I have very irregular sleep patterns ( It can normalize for a few months).

But I very rarely feel tired or drowsy from lack of sleep. If I feel like sleeping at 1 in the afternoon, I make it happen, regardless where I am.

I am aware of that except for certain people that are born with their hearts leaning the opposite way, that causes the internal organs to be shifted in the opposite direction...

which is why my doctor struggled to find my heartbeat when I was young :P

I can make very accurate impressions of pretty much any animal call, which earned me the title of "freak of nature" in high school. I still do it on occasion, but mostly as a secret code between my mate and I.
