You think you're
weird? You may think you are, but you've got nothing on me punk! For
every weird thing on you, I can one up you. Dare me to continue?
Fine! It's go time!
Warning! Contains
graphic descriptions of my body, which some people may find gross! Yuck!
The Shoulder Bump -
I have a bump on my
shoulder. Its not just any bump though. It's cancer! No just
kidding, it isn't cancer (sorry cancer victims currently reading this article). How do I know that
though? Well let me tell you...
The Tale of the Bump!
One time ago in a
land far far away (or close depending on your location relative to Fargo) I
attended Ben Franklin Junior High. Like all Junior High students, I had
Gym Class. It was in one of these "gym classes" that The Shoulder Bump was
born. It was a warm day exploited by Gym Teachers that had me running
around the track. A friendly challenge is how it all began. Myself
and another raced toward the other end of the track. I was about to achieve
victory, until it happened. A vengeful opponent pushed me from behind.
Forward I flew toward the black tar. Shoulder first, I skid across the
cement as it ripped through my skin. The blood oozed through my P.E.
shirt. The instructors ignored me as I explained to them I needed at least
a band aid. No help was to be found...
Days past and the
torn apart shoulder slowly began to heal. It looked quite odd, but that
was to be expected after such a brutal fall. The thing is though, the
wound never stopped looking odd. In fact it grew to be freakish bump.
Slightly discolored with a scar-ish base, The Shoulder Bump still resides on my
shoulder to this day, always there to remind me that that kid Adam is a jerk.
The Creative Poop -
Don't worry, this
isn't about how my poop is creative, or how I make works of art out of my own
feces. The Creative Poop is not a thing but an action. It is the
mysterious event that occurs whenever I am doing something creative. That
is right. I poop.
Ever since I was a
youngling building Lego houses, the need to poop would strike me whenever I
would be doing something creative. Drawing a picture? Poop.
Painting? Crap. Designing a website such as this one? Number
two. I think you get the idea.
Why does this happen
to me? For that I have no explanation. I speculate it has something
to do with the possibility that I get excited when I'm creative, therefore
constricting my intestines causing me to have to go to the bathroom. That,
of course, is only a theory.
How about onto
something not gross?
Anosmia -
No, I don't mean
insomnia. Anosmia is so unrecognized that Microsoft doesn't even have it
in its dictionary. What is Anosmia you ask? It means that you don't
have the sense of smell. I, my friends, am anosmic. This may come to
a surprise to some of you. It was not until recently that I actually begin
to admit this in public. As a child I would often pretend to be able to
smell a fart and laugh along with the other children. Oh what I'd give to
smell a fart!
For those of you
still confused, I have provided a FAQ section below...
Q: Wait so... You
can't smell at all?
A: No, no I can't.
Q: What about
(insert any smell)?
A; No, believe it or not, you were not able to guess the one
thing in all of reality that I could smell.
Q: How long have you
been unable to smell?
A: For as long as I can remember. I believe that I was
born with this condition.
Q: Why can't you
smell?
A: I do not know. I have never told/asked a doctor
because it would be pointless. There is no cure for not being able to
smell and I would rather save the money and not have a doctor tell me something
I already know.
Q: So you seriously
can't smell?
A: No, I seriously can't smell.
Q: Wait so, does
that mean you taste less than me?
A: For me to answer that question, I would have to know how
well you taste. Therefore I do not know. I would assume that I can
only taste things like salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy, for those are the
tastes that the tongue picks up. For other things such as the aroma of
food, I do not pick up. As I said though, I have no way to tell if
anything is different tasting and how so from how you taste it.
I could go on (I've
written an entire paper for school on this) but I think I will leave it at that
for now. My senses are failing me all together I'd say. I mean, no
smell, that limits taste, I wear glasses... at least I can hear well and uh...
touch well...
So there you have
it. Three reasons why I'm weirder than you. Still think you're
weirder than me? Then go write an article on your own site about it jerk!
