    I have read on book in my life, that being reading a book on my own and not in school.
    That book was about 90 pages long and had larger than average words.

    Young Padawan you're an interesting lil fellow aren't ya :D

    Ya not on any meds to control it?
    I love things like ADHD, tourettes especially.

    ADHD, tourettes and OCD go hand in hand with each other.
    So what's "your thing"? Piercings?

    I've read a lot about it and more often than not people with tourettes have some topic they are experts on.
    Some dude has a PhD in geology with tourettes and is world renowned. He can talk for hours about the stuff

    I AM TERRIFIED OF THE UNDERSIDE OF LARGE CARGO SHIPS.


    now don't laugh, it's one of my biggest fears! i don't know how i realised i was scared of them, i was at a boat museum thing in france years ago so it might have stemmed from that o.0

    i saw an ad for a documentary on the discovery channel about how big ships are made and i nearly got sick.

    i dont' mind small ships pulled out of the water, but if a huge BEHEMOTH like THESE:

    857224356_655a31359e.jpg?v=0

    i will run run run away as far as i can.

    (pictures making me sick)

    if they're in the water that's aokay, and i could travel on them no problem, but if i can see the bit that should be hidden i'll freak. i'm not scared of the propeller or anything, just the sheer size. THEY'RE HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

    i hate you.

    he's always mean to me about being afraid of moths :(

    it's only cuz when he was over one night, i went into the kitchen and screamed really loudly and he ran in thinking it was a burgler but it was a moth on the window and he freaked at me!

    i do have an explanation for that fear tho, we used to have room with the toilet in it seperate from the bathroom and the lock was dodgy on it. when i was about 10 i was in there at night, the window was open and a HUGE moth came in and started bashing about and i couldn't get the door unlocked quickly enough and i came out crying.

    i hate them, they don't know where they're going and bash into everything. and they have big FAT bodies and manky FURRY antennae!!!!!!!!!!!

    can't sleep beside a window always make my poor husband sleep on that side.....
    Agree with Shimei, moths are pretty scary as well.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,879 ✭✭✭Kya1976


    and oh I HATE when people sit behind me, can't stand it, freaks me out!

    I get you on that one. I hate it when people stand behind me and read over my shoulder. Drives me bananas!
    Oh, and I can't have a door open behind me. Freaks me right out!
    I also can't make phonecalls...well, I can, it just takes a lot of nerve/ energy.
    I'm ok if it's a call from my mobile to a friend/ family member, but if it's on a regular landline, where I don't have the name/ number programmed in and I don't really know the other person, it takes me about 10mins and 25 odd attempts to dial the number and not hang up!

    :D yeah the open door is freaky alright definitly agree with you. i used to be the same as you about making phone calls, had to get someone else to make the call for me, for some reason I always find it difficult to speak english when I call someone.....

    I still have trouble with 'left' and 'right'. When I did my driving test a few years ago I wore a HUGE ring on my right hand. (R for right, R for ring) so I'd know which way was which. :o

    I'm OBSESSED with ships, especially ones that have sunk. I'd happily sit and watch documentaries about ships all day long. I love looking at ships in harbours etc, but get horribly seasick as soon as I get on one.

    I'm told I do a very good Eric Cartman impression. And my BF is convinced I've got OCD.
