Hopefully this doesn't make me sound sound too weird :0 I am simply a person like us all, who happens to have a few odd facts and information to go with me, regardless of what others think of me.
1. I used to be the opposite of who I am today. I liked the colour red, and I didn't enjoy being around other people. Now I love the colour blue, and I donβt know what Iβd do without my friends xD
2. One day, I met a celebrity. An hour later, I fell into a pond in front of strangers. That was certainly an eventful day.
3. I have a kind of synaesthesia. When I read words I think of colours, and when I hear music, I think of different shades of grey. When I tell people, they are amazed and ask me about my experiences, but honestly I donβt really notice it at all. It helps me to recall thoughts faster, and that's about it. I don't see my mind or experiences being drastically different to others due to this, it's more like a memory helper/sorter if anything.
4. I have very mild visual snow (only visible in low lights or from the very corners of my eyes), and my night vision is awful and obscured by static. I don't get eigengrau (brain gray) in the absence of light; rather, I see bright white, grey, and pitch black noise. If I get startled during the night, my vision becomes a moving black and white zigzag.
5. I have dyscalculia.
6. I have some very strange phobias, including a fear of bungalows. I used to genuinely have anatidaephobia, which is usually portrayed as a joke phobia.
7. I love learning new things. When Iβm not in education, I am probably reading something, or studying on Wikipedia. However, I am not a competitive learner, and I hate grades. I have never looked at my grades, and I wouldnβt even if I knew I had got top marks because they feel wrong to me.
8. Around the time I joined CS, random sound effects would play at strange/funny/inappropriate moments when I was around a certain group of peopleβ¦ I wouldnβt be surprised at all if someone was listening in to our weird conversations and making the computers/phones do sound effects to surprise us when we weren't expecting it xD
9. I think cockroaches, wasps and flies are cute because they have large eyes. Still think they're disgusting because of what they eat, so sometimes I set aside leftovers for them so they don't eat what's on my plate.
10. I can remember my dreams exceptionally well, all the way back to my very first. I often remember my dreams better than real life because my dreams are far more eventful and interesting.
