1) I have loose ligaments. This is most noticeable in my hands as my fingers look like (as my friend says) "limp carrots." I can make them stand straight up but my fingers (while individually straight) all naturally lay in a tilted position. I can bend my fingers and thumb backwards. My pinky bends all the way back to touch my hand. My shoulders and knees are also loose and sometimes come out of place.
2) I have what is called Achoo syndrome. If go from somewhere dark (say a movie theater) out into the sun I will sneeze three times. (you usually sneeze the same number of times) It's genetic. About half of my family does it. We all have different number of times we sneeze though.

3) While generally a veggie lover I think peas are vile and are in fact minions of evil that infect any dish they are put in. |

I love going to coffee shops! The smell is delightful. I just order tea or hot chocolate. |

This is all so very interesting. Here are my facts:
1. I can pick up objects with my toes (I have long toes) and freak my friends out.
2. I hate/loathe/abhor dark chocolate. Why would anyone like bitter chocolate??
3. I have super naturally curly hair, and so never brush my hair. I don't own a hairbrush. |

* I have boxes and files full of stuff that i find inspiring that i collect or rip out of magazines to help me be creative.
* I can make my thumb touch my arm |

(haha I was drunk only once in my life, I hate the taste of alcohol but I wanted to see how it was to be drunk so I asked my cousin to get me drunk on my other cousin's wedding :P I enjoyed the state but somehow never done it again :)
1. I hitchhiked around Baltic sea. It was in the summer of 2005. I started in Poland, then it was Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia - then I had to unfortunately take a ferry to Helsinki, cause I'd need a visa to get through Russia - then Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, back to Poland. All "by the thumb" or by asking drivers at petrol stations. It took a week and cost me almost nothing and I saw Riga, Tallin, Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen on the way.
2. Once when I was in London I fainted for the first, and few seconds later - for the second (and hopefully last) time in my life. I noticed my head was bleeding - I had a cut at the top of it, so I went to the hospital and had my head glued (hadn't known before a head could be glued!;) by Chris Martin's lookalike.
3. In september 2007 I decided to stop ironing (clothes or anything) and I haven't done it since :) |

1. Okay I'm not the only one who has never been drunk and I've only had one sip of coffee in my whole life. There are coffee shops, drive-thru coffee stands, and tons of Starbucks here in the northwest. They even have coffee carts at the high schools.
2. I'm am a very picky eater. I have to know all the ingredients in everything before I eat it. Thats why I mostly eat the same things and order the same things when we go out to eat.
3. I have a tooth on the roof of my mouth. I know it sounds weird but I had a baby tooth that would not fall out so I had oral surgery and thats where they found it. I know I'm a freakshow:) |

I do that too, sometimes. So does Rachel. So does my mom. I thought everyone was like that. Eeek! I have a syndrome? |
