i saw a dick in real life

 

[Damn Near]

I was conceived on a camping trip in the Outer Banks in NC before my folks were married. They only got married because of that little mishap

edit: they almost named me after one of the islands there, but luckily I was given a family name instead

 

[Brain Power]

For some reason, my family has a history of horrifying accidents, but when it comes to me, the worst thing that happened is that I fell off a tree when I was a child, and my head hurt for the rest of the day. No broken limbs or brain damage.

Spoiler: related to another family member

For comparison, my uncle almost lost his hand when it got stuck in a door and it cut off all his ligaments on that area. That happened in the 70s-early 80s, so imagine how that must have been.

I had a dream about meeting my current partner and having my son when I was 17, names and all. There is a journal entry somewhere about it and I remember waking up and telling my mum how dumb it was because I didn't like the name that my dream baby had.

4 years later I met my next boyfriend and 6 years later my son was born with the same name as in my dream (by virtue of my boyfriend who named him after his favourite band guitarist, so not my choice and I was beyond shocked when he suggested it).

I have had many deja vu moments like that where conversations and events I've dreamed about have become a reality.

I have muscle memory of drawing Raichu.

Kid me thought that often-used picture of it was badass and so tried to copy it with varying success; I haven't tried to draw it again since like 3rd grade.

You remind me of an accident I had years ago.

It was in a grocery store or somewhere similar, and I was sitting on the handle of one of those large platform hand trucks and leaning my back against the wall to keep balance. It worked pretty well too, until I leaned a little too hard and ended up moving the cart's wheels, introducing my head to the tile floor. The drop couldn't have been higher than four feet, but there was a lot of blood and I was rushed to the hospital (I can remember the moment of impact and the ambulance ride, so my brain is probably still good for sale).

There's a small line of scar tissue in the back of my head from the ER trip, though you'll have to ruffle through my hair to find it.

Whenever I’m in a dangerous situation, I usually feel super peaceful for some reason. No matter how fucked up the situation is, I just start acting very serenely and calm. I mean I’m pretty chilled out usually , but the absolute second I’m in any sort of real danger I feel this weird sense of detachment and I Just start thinking about how great everything is. I don’t know why I do this and to be honest it kind of creeps me out.

I've built two wooden boats, a Tom cat and a dingy, and have done some simple restoration work on the side.

I have spent a grand total of maybe ten minutes of my life sailing. It's something I really want to get into, the whole long distance psychopath on a boat scene, but I gotta save them dollars first.

I will actually fucking cry like a bitch if you play Mr. Blue Sky around me even though ELO is one of my favorite bands. I actually have to excuse myself and walk out of a building if it starts playing over the PA.

Same, but for ELOs entire "Time" album. Also The Swans "The Seer" album causes me to have intense mushroom flashbacks to the point where I'm unable to drive. Both albums represent to me rather intense points in my life.

I've had the Moana soundtrack stuck in my head for over a week.

I'm a white girl who does not fuck dogs.

Dogs (bigger than a cat) and cows scare the shit outta me

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

Nightcrawler is my favorite of the X-Men. I bought an old Nightcrawler comic at a yard sale a few years ago.

Also I'm generally not a fan of capeshit, or at least Marvel/DC as a whole. I just liked the X-Men cartoons as a kid and liked the original live action movies. Ant Man is pretty cool though. That movie surprised me.

I have a severe case of motion sickness, though being out on the water is where it becomes especially aggressive. Just standing on those floating docks at the harbor leaves me feeling queasy, while riding in anything ferry-sized and below requires me to lie back and think happy thoughts. Even staying on a giant cruise ship had me vomit out my entire dinner on the first day (though to be fair it was especially stormy at the time).

 

[Count groudon]

I have a passion for anything relating to lakes and the ocean, despite the largest body of water near my house being a shallow creek. Sometimes old lady fate’s kind of a bitch, ain’t she?

[Pissmaster]

After my grandma died I found out she would steal ashtrays from hotels, she had like eight of them all with various hotel logos, a couple old enough to use a four-letter abbreviation for the state they're from

She also had a Holiday Inn towel

 

[The Sauce Boss]

I have in my possession a patch from the US Army 4th Infantry Division, circa 1944. It belonged to my great-grandfather.

TL;DR: I sometimes have doubts that I'm my parents first or real child.
It's not that I don't look like them, the older I get the more I look like my mother at least.

Long version: I was snooping around in my parent's bookshelf when I was a kid and found out that my mum started a journal about her pregnancy - but stopped midway through writing in it after the 5th or so month. She never put dates on the entries for some reason which really baffles me. But the whole text etc was different from the pregnancy journal she kept about me.
I also found out, through snooping again, that my dad had a different father than the man who they always presented as my granddad to me. This also makes me suspicious as hell; they only told me about this when I was way, way older for a reason I never understood.

I just honestly don't have the balls to ask them about it or call them out. And it makes me sad since this will forever be in the back of my head.

For a while, I worked making 'yarn' out of plastic bags and winding it up into a single giant ball. I still don't know what it was used for, something about mats.
