Ransoms and Ramblings

Strange things i have done/do/about me

Some of these might be less strange than others. *loud shrug*

-Started almost-screaming for half a breath after dropping a marker during class

-Gotten a twig stuck between my teeth

-Told my dad it was too late for me to take a shower. At 5:30 in the morning.

-Seriously loved broccoli when I was little

-When I was maybe 8 or 9, I didn't really know how to swim, so I spent all my one trying to get better at swimming underwater. Then we went to Hawaii, and I got salt water in my mouth due to how I swam.

-I used to scoot down stairs on my butt.

-I almost always wear this one black jacket, regardless of whether it's the middle of winter or summer or a rainstorm or we're in class. The only exception is during PE.

-I chipped a tooth while eating a pizza.

-When I yawn, my tongue curls upward habitually.

-I once managed to jam my right arm while shutting a car door.

-I fell down a metal spiral staircase at my school and caused somewhat lasting damage to my knees. I also haven't been up to the catwalk (which is where the stairs led) since then.
That was three years ago. Just for some context.

-I talk to my computers.

-I once started shouting in Swedish during a board game with some non-Swedish-speaking friends. They were very confused.

-I have never had a sugar high. Or a brain freeze.

-When I try to stop myself while running, I turn my feet to one side instead of stopping with my feet forward.

-Driving a car is somewhat terrifying to me. Driving an ATV, however, isn't.

-I was first able to set up a tent without any outside help when I was like ten.

-I have an eighty-plus-song playlist.

-Unlike most people I've spoken to (both online and in real life), I do not wish to die. I have, however, been mentioned to look "dead" once, when I went to school sick, tired, and with my period just starting. Everything sucked that day.

-I have been somewhat tempted to do some incredibly stupid things. Some of these include jumping over a balcony, throwing rocks at windows, chucking my phone out a car window, and hitting my sister with a stick. I have not acted on any of these, however.

-I drum on myself fairly frequently.

-I cannot snap my fingers properly for the life of me. I have this other method which works pretty well, but I am utterly unable to properly snap.

-I'm sensitive about physical touch. I can't do hugs with anyone beyond my parents. Most of my friends are fairly aware of this, but my sister regularly tries to hug me and I hate it

-I seem to have a tendency to start to befriend people only once they're going to leave my life for possibly forever. Some examples: a group of four-ish seniors who are graduating our school this year, and Kai, who left us last year.
