So, I need to describe random things about myself, which will be difficult because I am so normal. Yeah, OK I couldn't even keep a straight face with that and I'm sitting in a coffee shop with only strangers around and typing rather than talking... so here goes:
1. When I'm eating I'm almost always either watching a TV show, reading, or talking... and if I'm not doing any of those I will be focused and finish in under 10 min.
2. I'm the kind of person who is most often a social observer rather than an interactor. My grandfather was the same. When I lived with him we would often go days without saying more than 5 or 6 words to each other during the day. Not because we weren't close or having a good time; we would sit in side-by-side chairs watching TV in the evening. But we just didn't see the need to talk.
3. I had a significant hearing loss when I was young (70% in one ear, 30% in the other) which really affected my speech development... for a year or so pretty much just my older sister Heidi could understand what I was saying and she would act as my interpreter. I still have to be careful to adjust my speaking patterns for humans who can't read minds or have to hear with their ears rather than being connected to my jawbone as an amplifier.
4. At inconvenient times typically due to lack of sleep and significant stress I get massive migranes that move from headache to nausea to fever, and if I don't manage to get back home and asleep before it goes to the fever phase (that usually takes 8 hours) then it will take me approximately 14 hours of bedrest to recover.

5. Despite having been in a number of amusment parks I have never ridden a significant rollercoaster, but I have done a bunch of rock climbing as well as a variety of other heights related things (tree climbing, parasailing, jumping from the roofs of houses, climbing the ceiling of my old church, etc.)
