Surprising but true.
#11
RE: Surprising but true.
I also learned to read at the age of three and was a bit of a math prodigy as a child.

The tendon inside my ring finger on my right hand is held together by a piece of string, because at the age of 13 I tried to open a jar of salsa which broke and sliced my finger all the way to the bone. I had to hold my finger together until a surgeon could fix it.

1. My left leg is 3/8" shorter than my right one and rather thinner. Consequently, I have to wear a lift inside my shoe to even me out. Otherwise, it kills my back. On a related note, I had a large portion of the bone in my left shin removed when i was 10 to remove an osteoid osteoma, I was in a hip to toe cast for 3 months and a removeable brace for another 9 months for it to heal sufficiently for me to walk on it.

2. I was given I.Q. tests in junior high school and tested out at 146 on the Stanford-Binet exams.

I have a 2cm wide part on the back of my head where the hair grows in without pigments. I have lightish hair anyway, so it isn't that noticeable unless someone points it out.

Was it from a cut or something as a kid? I have a small scar on the back of my head that grows white hair from a time that I split it open when I was about 5.

Strangely, no. I have tons of scars on my head from my younger years, but that bit isn't one of them. I have had it since birth... well, unless my parents have lied to me all my life and it is actually from some wild experiment they did on me.

I got run over by a small truck at the age of 4, luckily only got a broken leg.

I started making chemical mixes at 6 in a laboratory that was an old shed were my grandma kept chickens. One day my mom called me, I let the lid on my mixing jar open... result: a dozen dead chickens.

I fell off a four floor in our apartment, when I was three years old. I landed on the bushes and started playing again.

I almost drown when I was four, when I fell off the docs into the sea.

Too many almost died situations for me.

RE: Surprising but true.
I sleep with the TV on, I check to see what will play through the night because I am worried I will miss something I may have wanted to know. I cant stand quiet places for too long. Reading in a Library is torture. I have heard that other people with severe ADD do the same. Wanna go ride bikes? lol

I have the ability to ignore any sound.
My ex was amazed that I could sleep through a jack-hammer outside my window but immediately responded to her when she spoke to me while I was sleeping.
