was perusing through a post saying that we need more vitamin D, where someone mentioned that we need sunlight to synthesize it. I mentioned that I'm allergic to sunlight. I was just wodering how many other oddities are out there?

I'll start off. I'm a genetic vampire. I was born with an allergy to sunlight, low hemoglobin, photosensitivity, a very high resistance to cold, and a very low resistance to heat. my body temperature is a cool and controlled 95.1* (normal is 98.6*) and I have a internal clock reversal. Basically, bright light makes me tired, darkness wakes me up. trust me, my hydro bill sucks.

go ahead with the vampire jokes, I've heard 'em all. you can't offend. and before you all ask, no I'm not allergic to garlic or holy water

That's cool. From an early age in my life I've been a masochist.
You see, my parents, parented properly. When a child does something they know the shouldn't, or acts up, or basically any act you see nowadays that create unruly children when not disciplined, my parents, would discipline us. With a half inch thick leather belt. Now, this happened from when I was 5-10. So, five years. However, it baffled my parents when I would deliberately do something just to be hit in the hindquarters with that belt. It baffled them even more when they'd make us line up when it was a group mishap, and my brother and sister were cowering in the corner, I was jumping next to my parents demanding they spank me.

It's cool if you're a practical vampire. Having spent a good 10 years of my life mostly playing outside I am also abnormally light sensitive and deathly pasty. I cannot tan, sunblock litteraly has no affect on me and if I stay out in direct sunlight without eye protection for about an hour I go half blind.
Once took an hour long drive with considerable cloud cover, had my arm resting on the window area thingy, and still got burned So, I know how it is to be overly light sensitive and lack good heat resistence. It's all good.

I'm a little more sensitive to light than that. if i'm going to be out for more than five minutes, I've got to wear spf 75, else I'll get second degree burns(blistering) on my exposed skin. it takes about five to ten minutes for me to burn. one time, I was walking to my friends house, wore sun screen, said my back was sore. she took off my shirt to have a look, apparently, I burned through my t-shirt

You're lucky you live in this day and age where it's possible to stay inside most of the time, and religious fanatics won't kill you.

As for me, my weirdness lies in that there's nothing weird about me.

Ok, I lied, but there's not much. I have an indent in my chest and I only bleed out of my left nostril, but it bleeds pretty much at a poke.

I've always been considered weird by my peers. I have almost no motivation, yet I'm fairly intelligent. I've been into science, gaming, and reading at the same time my peers starting hunting, learned to ride four-wheelers, and started making friends. While I do have friends, I've never been part of an actual social clich. I've always been wandering between groups, making friends with some members and enemies of others. I probably have OCD and an anxiety disorder, the latter of which has been proven to run in my family. I have to constantly re-check things to make sure I didn't miss anything or to make sure everythings in it's place, and large crowds and stressful situations lead me to physical illness (I've had prolonged chest-pains, queesy stomachs, headaches, etc since I was ten). I can watch many different types of sexual acts (to a certain level of kinkiness) and not be freaked out, things that normally freak my friends out. I'm seventeen and my permits about to run out...I don't enjoy driving and I despise my Drivers Ed. teacher. I have never had a serious relationship with a girl.

I also have sensitive skin and eyes (I'm really pale and have blond hair and blue eyes)and I'm more active at night (not to extreme you're at Knumpify, but just a tad bit more than 'normal' people)...I tend to play outside in the rain, snow, and at nightime because it just seems...more interesting for some reason.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I got into a long, several year period of depression that I'm just coming out of.

I'm a sadist... Not at all a masochist, my pain threshold is somewhere between "Cries at the sight of a needle" and "Broke a doctor's arm for administering a blood test"... More to the broken arm side, because I've done that before.

I have a deathly allergy to cats, dogs, and anything cute and fuzzy. As fate is a heartless bitch, I also am obsessed with cute and fuzzy critters.

And I'm in my mid 20's, rarely brush my teeth (no bad breath though), drink gallons of soda daily, but have never had a single cavity. I used to do shooters of pure McDonalds orange drink mix (the stuff that you add 8 parts water to) and yet my teeth could tackle steel sheetmetal.

I cannot get infections for some reason. Even if dirt is rubbed in an open cut, it heals perfectly normally.
Like Khell, I don't brush my teeth regularly but have never had a cavity. In fact, I have the healthiest teeth in my family.
One of my eyes is legally blind (8/20) while the other is near perfect (18/20).
Finally, I've had migraines since I was 5 with no apparent cause (I've gone to 3 different specialists and been tested for allergies, of which I have none.).

Well, I have a low body temp as well, though not as low as yours, knumpify (mine flucuates between 96.8 and 95.8). I also am unusually sensitive to heat, and am resistant to cold. This has more to do with my half Greek ancestry (Short, sturdy people built to work outside all day in all conditions). However, I have naturally lightly tanned skin (again, half Greek), though that has faded over the years somewhat. Most of this stuff isn't that odd for me, 'cause my dad and his dad were like that as well.

What is most odd about me is that all emotion, from joy, to sadness, to pleasure, ends up being converted to anger, which eventually combines with hate to form rage. So, basically, If I'm really happy during the day, by night time, I'll be really pissed off. If I'm really sad, within minutes, I'll be pissed off. Makes it real awkward to hang out with friends, 'cause I'll start getting angry for no reason.

I was hit with a truck (Ford f150 with a U-haul) and I flew 22 feet. I only broke one bone in my leg and that was from the impact. I could not walk for 2 months when I was going to be out for 4. Oh be the way the truck was going 20 to 30 miles per hour, which my math teacher said that sent me mock 1!

I am over 90% German, and have a permanent tan. 23 years old, don't brush my teeth half as often as I should, even on good weeks, and have never had a cavity in my life. My only fear is needles, even though once they stick me, it isn't usually so bad... The only thing keeping my Sociopathic tendencies in check is my fear of anal rape and prison... And I like Cars more than women, but if you had been betrayed as badly and as many times as I had by women, you wouldn't trust them either...

lol, knumpify, that would be awesome yet gay at the same time. Sadly, you dont get the benefits of being a vampire, just the shittiness.

Me, the weird thing about me is, ive never been sick enough in my life that a 1-2 hour rest couldnt cure (minus the chickenpox, damn chickenpox). If i ever feel bad, headache, nausea, a 1-2 hour rest will fix me right up. Also, when i had my appendix taken out, i recovered a whole 2 weeks earlier than what the doctors said would be a normal recovery rate. Im also the most gifted person i know, yet at the same time, the laziest, so it never shows in my scores. Half the time when taking a test, i cant even be bothered to do all the questions, so i do exactly the amount required to pass (my best time at this was scoring exactly 50% in my geogrpahy exam). Aside from that, i like to screw with peoples minds alot, my favourite two ways are:
making people feel really uncomfortable by discussing really disturbing sexual fetishes
and
being really nice to people for long peroids of time, the completely shunning them and being an overall dick to them.

i also occasionally have day dreams of killing lots of people while im bored. Aside from that, i guess you could call me pretty zen in nature. it takes alot to piss me off, and i tend to accept most insults to further confuse and irritate people, taking pleasure in their annoyance

and stuff...

theres probably more, but its pretty damn late here, so i cant think of anything

hey, there are perks to being a vampire. chicks dig it, the night life is fun, and people don't mess with you when you have inch long fangs.

I enjoy watching Zero Punctuation. That's how weird I am. And you are too.

Ill join the imba immune-defence squad and the inpenetrable teeth people.

I also have a incredibly oversized testicle, used to think it was Cancer but the doctors dident have a clue what it was.

My eyes are different colours, my arms are both slightly double-jointed (I guess technically they're just more flexible than normal but that takes longer to say). Mentally, I'd say I'm pretty neurotypical, though I'm pretty introverted. Possibility of being chimeric, i.e. I might have two different blood types (heterochromia is symptomatic), but I haven't quite worked up the guts to walk into a hospital demanding to have repeated blood tests just to satisfy idle curiosity. I have a dry sense of humour, usually at the expense of others, and seem to have just the right amount of detachment from social norms to seem different in a charismatic way, but not enough to hit the 'freak' boundary. At least that's what I like to think to myself as I rock gently in a corner, shouting at anyone who comes close.

Don't trust a Ford, she'll break your heart.

When I go in for blood tests, I can literally feel the blood being drawn from me to the point that I know exactly how many vials they took. This is with my head turned the other way with my eyes closed. Also, when they go to take my blood pressure, the devise reads that I have no blood pressure. I also have panic attacks if I'm stuck standing in a crowded bus. I'm OK if I'm sitting down but if I have to stand I freak out. I'm also hypersensitive to certain smells. I don't mind the smell of horse shit but if you come near me wearing perfume or aftershave, I will gag and possibly pass out. I could tell you more but I won't.

im not that weard but i enjoy cunfusing and angering people with large words that they dont know. also insults dont seem to bother me and my elbows and fingers on both my hands are double jointed along with my shoulders.

Same with the double jointedness here.

I can identify with a lot of XKCD comics. I've corrected IQ tests as I took them. I'm dyslectic and a grammar Nazi. I haven't knowingly hurt another living creature since I was fourteen, and that's ten years ago. I haven't even swatted a fly.

I'm slightly obsessed with pizza, and with Nicole Kidman.

I've watched 135 movies since January first.

Is that weird?

I'm an outcast of my own culture (both Australian and Indian). I am incredibly lazy, but know that I have to work (which works, 'cos I'm pretty smart). I'm also incredibly scrawny, so this puts me in a disadvantage, along with my shyness. Supposedly, I'm good with people, yet think most of them are idiots, but, since I'm piss weak, I don't say it to their face(s). Yeh, I'm a bit weird. Oh, and OP, being a vampire is pretty cool.

- A procrastinator

I have a fear of committment: usually I'll join something, like a club, and then regret it because it's not what I expected it to be.

I'm overly sentimental. I get into angry wall-punching mode when I go for a week or so without seeing my friends after school, and I get jogging-back-and-forth happy when I get the chance to do something with a few friends.

I have flat feet, meaning my feet are prone to blisters and callouses. Now for your Average Joe, this might not be such a bad thing, but I make it a habit of going for walks about every day for about an hour or so (or jog if the weather is good). And I walk pretty damn fast. Ironically I run rather slow.

There are a few fast food restaurants right across from my school. But when I need to buy food and I'm at school, I walk to the grocery store 15 minutes away (20-25 for people who walk slower than me, which is about everyone) and buy a loaf of bread and a bottle of V8 (14 slices of bread for $3 vs 1 bagel for $1? No contest.).

Im weak, but not always. Once I, who doesnt like to carry sixpacks, had no trouble sliding a cement filled tire (edge of a beach vollyball thing) through the sand. Granted it was sliding, but thats way over th etop for me. Dont know how i did it to this day.

Also a masochist, but thats not very weird. Their are other weirder things too about me in a similar vain but i cant get away with discousing those in public, i dont think. Perhaps someone could point me to the rules of this forum.

Im also a powerful social manipulator. I can get along with a lot of groups of people (it so happens on a campus, for those of you over thirty, that people will often "hang" with groups of like individuals). These groups often fail to get along with each-other however. I can make people feel horrid or get them to tell me things without much effort (actualy, the latter doesnt require ANY effort and can cause complications) and i can control my expression of emotion well (but only if im face to face. Thus I dislike phones and interwebs)

Not terribly weird but when you pile them up it starts to add.

I am weird, in that the more people know about me, the stranger they think I am. I should really learn to keep my mouth shut in public. And yet, my life seems to me to be very boring and ordinary in a sort of sad way.

knumpify:

I understand the other things, but what would cause one's canines to be so long?

Anyhow, about me.
I fear being violently insane for reasons not of my own doing.
And considering certain personal things, its not entirely unfounded.
~~~
At the same time, however, I am an extreme empath. After most humanities classes, I cry. When someone diabetic faints, I freat my heart out. Dispite this, however, I do not freak out in real-life situations until the danger is out of the way.
I guess that fear makes me try to be the exact opposite: nurturing, kind, and sort of motherly. {with a good sprinkle of femenism, too. ;) }
~~~
There are a few other things, most of which I shall refrain from stating so that I may maintain my credibility.

I am obscenely uninteresting. I don't smoke, I don't drink (alcohol, coffee, tea, etc.), I don't do drugs, I've had all of zero girlfriends, I missed almost every piece of pop culture before the 90's. And all this at 19 years of age. Perhaps the weirdest thing about me is the extent to which I wish I was weirder. I often wish there was something freakishly wrong with me, usually so my bouts of self-pity would no longer be baseless, but no luck so far.

I'm about as vanilla as the ice-cream flavour. Thanks everyone for reminding me how boring I am.

I feel downright normal now. Only weird thing about me is my internal clock is really screwey (side effect of thyroid cancer.) And my natural vision is 20/200 - the old system, meaning that I can resolve at 20 feet what a normal person can resolve at 200 feet - but that's corrected by contacts to a large extent. That made things REALLY interesting when I played baseball (before contacts), since I could only see the ball in a night game about 10 or 20 feet. So I took some shots to the head whilst batting. (Hey, you get a free base and a good excuse for weird behavior. And it could explain some things...) I was a catcher, the only one in our league to be a little scrawny kid. That's weird I guess, but it worked out because lots of guys (and their coaches) would assume they could run over me. And I could knock the fool out of a runner if I had time to get set up. Of course, if I didn't have time to get set up I got my narrow ass rolled, but that's okay too, no worse than football.

I've done a lot of weird things in my life (and thoroughly enjoyed them), but I don't have to do them. So I don't count that.

Ahhh, baseball. Only the chosen few who've played seriously know that it's really a contact sport.

I never think before I speak, which is a problem. I really should have learned by now not to spout out the strange thoughts floating through my head to strangers, but I haven't. I'm also a masochist and have a hard time finding people who really understand that. And I like to sing to my cats (which they like, I swear!). That's about it.

Umm...okay, here's me.

Firstly, I have an immense fear of other people. Like "can't talk in front of more than 2 people" or "go out in public without another person" sort of immense.

I also have a real problem with my memory. I can remember line for line mostly any scene from any movie I watch, or anything I did in any game I played recently, but I can't remember people's names, anything involving school, or what day of the week it is.

Plus, I -Really- like anime style cat girls. I dunno why.

Lastly, I am a weekend /b/tard (nuff said...)

The thing that wierds me out is that I'm not even half as...odd... as my friends.

speaking of vampires, my upper canines are about a quarter inch longer than the rest of my teeth and all 4 of my canines are triangular shaped. =P

i get sick on average once every 2 years and when i do it's usually over the next day. i'm left-handed, i'm missing a front tooth simply because there was no adult tooth to grow in, and my sternum sticks out a bit.

I hate, hate, hate the taste of alcohol or anything with alcohol in it.

I smoke, a LOT. Love it and don't want to quit, but I also don't want anyone else to smoke, ever.

I love the idea of hard work, but hate actually doing anything.

This final one is hard to explain, but I have this weird "two-week" fear/anxiety. Two weeks into anything (relationships/jobs/university classes/volunteer stuff), I get this feeling of dread or severe uncertainty. Like I'm not supposed to be there, like I'm wasting my time, or like I know whatever I'm doing isn't going to make me happy. The strangest thing is that if I get through the first two-weeks of anything, I'll sail through the rest as happy as can be. I've finally realized I have this problem, so I can usually remind myself that the feeling will pass, but I have quit some good jobs and dropped out of good classes in the past. It means I have a really spotty education/work history.
