Tell Me Something.....

[Springer80]

Wow! I have that same problem. I literally have to shake my wrists when I want to process that "ok, I need to turn left, etc." And, I panic when someone asks me for directions because I know I'll have to calm down and rattle my wrists before I start to explain things.

Oh SweetPea&SunBird, If I had to ask you directions and you had to shake your wrists I'd think you had some mysterious divining gift in your bones. :hug:

PS I'm sure your right that it has something to do with the links between left and brain and right brain communication.

I was locked into the plenary with 192 heads of state and government. I sometimes want to talk about things they said or did but am not allowed to do so, although I firmly believe the world should know.

I started to teach myself English (with the help of an older girl we lived with at the time) before I went to elementary school. I just loved it and still don't know why.
I have two tattoos.
I love eating raspberry jam straight out of the jar.
If I don't have access to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, I will get Ritter Sport Alpenvollmich chocolate, peanut butter (crunchy) and a glass of milk and will mix it all in my mouth.
I'm addicted to pumpkin seed oil.
I make my own earrings.

I am angry at my family.

I made Kedgeree because I was bored...it's lovely. Its a Scottish/Indian dish and your supposed to eat it for breakfast :confused: but they were odd in the 19th century. My flat has the aroma of smoked haddock.

and get lost very easily.

I have absolutely no sense of direction. Left, right, up, down, the points of the compass - they all get scrambled in my brain and I just can't 'see' where to go. Then I start to panic.

My favourite books are George R R Martin's Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) which I have read several times.

I love Si-Fi like Star Gate, Star Trek, Farscape, Firefly and the old Star Wars.

I am a Monty Python fan.

I panic when ever I meet someone, even if I have known them for ages, I expect to be rebuked and am always waiting for it to happen. I even do this on the phone and jump whenever it rings. :eek:

I never had a toy as a child. When I was in my forties, I had a collection of porcelain dolls and teddy bears. I gave most of the dolls to my granddaughters, the teddy bears to the salvation army and kept a few myself.

I go through immense periods of great sadness and grief. To keep it under control, I try and flick the switch when I feel it coming on. It actually works quite often.

After a couple of decades of PTSD I am proud that I only take one medication, paroxetine once a day.

I also have a bad sense of direction and use a TOM TOM when driving.

I had a toy plane as a young girl, plastic, yellow, red and blue. I loved it more than anything. I got it for Christmas. I have a picture of that and when I look at it or think of it my inner child beams with joy.

If I could (financially), I would buy and wear only clothes that have patterns on them (striped, checked, etc.) in all different colors all mixed together, plus comfy woolen socks and my hair in braids. I love that and that is the true me. There was a time when I had a few such clothes and wore them. It made me so happy!

Although I'm not a Christian anymore, I still love listening to Adrian Plass reading his poem "Heaven". I have it on CD and his voice plus some of the imagery ground me.

I love Star Trek TNG and Voyager and if there were aliens coming to Earth one day asking for someone to join them, I'd go in an instant. I love the movies "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Contact" for many reasons, one of them being that I identify with the protagonists' urge to go!

I need new glasses as I am struggling with reading the screen.

I won medals for swimming as a child and was a gymnast.

I like classical music, rock and heavy metal but hate dance music.

I din't like dolls as a child and played with Lego and Mechano.

I'm scared of crane fly's (daddy long-legs) because my brother used to put them down my back when I was little and although I am better with spiders than I used to be I still can't pick up the big ones as I was chased around the house with a feather duster covered in cobwebs.

I am very nervous around dogs as I was once savaged by one but I'm OK if they are gentle and have a good owner.

I miss nursing and it hurts to know I can't go back.

I have a great sense of humour.

I have no idea where my high school diploma is.

Ayesha: I can't find it either!! :giggle:

I am a complete cat person. I like dogs too and would love a dog, but our cat wouldn't and I don't want to break her heart. I am also allergic to dogs but it's been a long time since I have lived with a dog so I am unsure how badly they would effect my allergies and don't really want to test that out.
