RE: Surprising but true.

I got both my legs run over by a stationwagon as a child, while playing with toy cars and trucks in the sand. My legs sank in the sand and I was completely unhurt. I cried, but only because I thought I was going to get a whipping for playing in the driveway.
I had a triple bypass ten years ago.
I'm the oldest of eleven: sister, brother, one half-brother, three half-sisters, two step-brothers and two step-sisters.

I started talking (using proper words) at 6 months old. It used to creep people out.
I had meningitis when I was 6 or 7 and have had frequent headaches and migraines ever since, but my GP doesn't think there is a connection.
When I was 2 years old my mother was in the bathroom running herself a bath and I was alone in the living room. I somehow found some matches and set clothes on fire. My mother heard me scream and got me and threw me in the bath.
Also at age 2, we went to Thorpe Park and I ran off and was found face down in the lake. Paramedics managed to revive me. (Or am I posting as a ghost?)

It is pretty bizarre, though. It almost never fails. When it does I tend to get very curious and kind of addicted to the person. I have to keep studying them and looking at them, and every surprise feels overwhelming and ridiculously awesome. I feel tiny around these people. I feel pulled towards them and for sure I will be around as long as they let me. Hopefully one of my mentioned characteristics won't get in the way

LOL!
I have been deployed too long. I barely stand places like the mall or large areas with herding people! I guess I have become too shy.

I should have put that on the other thread, though.

I have Keratoconus in my left eye.
I've dislocated my left shoulder seven times, necessitating surgery to fix.

Probably just me, but I initially pronounced that in my head as "Kerry Katona". Which, despite being a lovely image in that context, makes absolutely no sense at all. So most definitely just me then.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
