I can lick my elbow.

And maybe more psychological than natural, but every few weeks or so I essentially become a new person, with a different accent and a different laugh. My personality itself remains intact, but I sound totally different.

My legs are also very flexible. Those combined chair-desks that they use in school? I can sit in my chair, Indian-style or however you want to put it, with my folded legs on top of the desk proper.

I have pretty crappy regualr eyesight, unless I really really focus them. Otherwise, I keep them relaxed, they're okay. I am rather swiftly light-adaptive, and in case I can't see in due time, I can echo-locate. I also have 170-degree peripheral vision (Effective visual range (IE- clearly able to read) being 150-degrees).

Add to my abilities, I can also somewhat rotate my ears to add to my peripheral awareness. I can easily hear when someone is in my house or just entering. Either the walls are thin, or I can translate most-all resonance throughout the structure of the house. I can even tell when a car pulls in from my room which is on the far end of the house. Toss in with my swimming abilities, and how I tend to swim sometimes, I'm practically a human-dolphin.

And last, but not least, I can do self-chiropracty, including cracking my own neck. Among that I can also tell certain songs apart and identify them by the first 2-5 notes. I guess I can also qualify myself as a human gyroscope. I'm really hard to knock down, whether I'm trying to keep my ground or not. Quite useful for surfing, provided the ocean isn't being a dick and constantly pummeling me with waves.

Considering how I tend to think sometimes, I usually talk to myself so more of my brain is spent on thinking, while my voice does the talking from my "head space". As far as I can consider, I think significantly quicker whenever I do that. I may look odd talking to myself, but hey, I can outpace my own thinking this way. Heck, I can even kinaesthetically think. It's how I can "sculpt" some of my ideas and give them a sort of mass to them so I can make sure they are to scale and easy to use (So to put it, it's being a sort of useful mime.). It's like having an unlimited collection of toys or tools. Now, if I can only make them kinetically influence solid matter; then I truly do have an unlimited set of tools. Hell, out of boredom, I can mentally fit myself with wings or additional limbs, and see how they would work. I can grow phantom limbs. In turn, that can also help with figure drawing to get the right effect if anything is added to a subject. Keep a certain plausible flow. If I have any additional senses, give them a "form" I guess.

Boredom also tends to make me come up with some rather bizarre ideas, like some of those listed above. Still trying to figure out how to use the kinaesthetic peripheral sense. You know, sense by touch without actually physically touching. I've gotten close a few times. The few times it actually helped was to help ping for any wildlife underwater while out swimming. Major help considering my town is a freaking shark capital. Considering the context of the more recent parts of the post, I'm still trying to debate whether I have any psychic abilities or not. If so, sweet; but please, no asking about lotteries. It doesn't work that way.

EDIT:
I also forgot to include a hereditary trait: I'm a living bullshit meter. I can tell whether by voice or text if somebody is lying, making fun, or not. So to put it, I can read context like a second language either IRL or through text. Ironically, I still can't tell if someone is merely chatting with me, or all-out flirting to me. Can't tell the difference to save my life.

Sorta, it's not quite that kind of heterochromia.
They're grey with a ring of green surrounding the pupils.

Same, but mine are half yellow and half green.
They change color from green to blue when I go outside.
And for some reason the pupil pulses constantly.



I also have... Hmm, I've never been able to properly describe it.
Sortof like multiple sides of a personality. Essentially the same person but with drastically different ways of thinking and emotional swings. Oh well, it's probably normal.



Not really something strange or anything, but I hack a knack for getting into people's heads and understanding their thought patterns, paths, and motives.
Like seeing things from the perspective of others including what they are thinking.

[sonerohi]

My eyes constantly mix up the amount of green and blue in themselves. I'll get pure one way or the other, various mixes, and a half'n'half, but it never stays the same.

It's like looking at a die from above, you see all parts that are visible, but the one that's facing up is the dominant one, right? That's how your personality is? I have that trait as well; I don't consider it normal, but normalcy is overrated anyhow. Anyone that says otherwise is hiding something.

And yeah, thinking in proxy is a nifty trait. Very useful to get in people's heads with. It does get annoying however if you have to work at a restaurant or a shopping center/market. You would want to be wrong most the time after long enough. I know from experience. My customers are annoying, and becoming them is far worse.

EDIT:
And thanks to Akigagak, I just remembered that for me, silence is non-existent unless I'm out in a really open area (like outside). In tighter quarters, total darkness, full silence, I can still hear a humming or whining noise. It's like I can hear time pass.

And woah... Deja Vu. Exact words and everything. Speaking of which, I get some seriously detailed Deja Vu. I noticed though, if in greyscale, then choices will have to be made, if in full color (really intense, like technicolor), then choices (or previous forks in roads) merge. Kinda makes a good checkpoint system, you know, to make sure my life is still going in the right direction.

[Akigagak]

I can see pretty well in the dark, despite spending so much time looking at computer screens.
I had 12 toes, and 11 fingers. Oh, and two toes (second and third) on each foot are joined together.
My hearing is annoyingly sensitive. I can hear the electricity in the wiring.

[Boksi]

I can touch the tip of my nose with my lips.

[ein]

Ah yes, I forgot to mention.
I'm really good at picking up microexpressions and context.

I'm also pretty good with sound.
I can hear electricity and most everything going on in the entire house.
I've not really experimented with echolocation, but I could probably do it if I tried.

[Knirisk]

I feel so normal now. I don't have heterochromia, I can't tell people's thought's except in my mind (and I'm pretty sure my mind is wrong most of the time), and the only special physical thing I can do is bend my fingers in a perpendicular angle to the back of my hand. I can touch the back of my wrists with my little fingers.

[Euld]

I can hear the hum of electricity from certain things, so when our cable is off but our TV is on, I can still tell if the TV is on or off.  I also have pretty good night vision, although not as good as some people's.  My legs are pretty flexible, I can sit cross legged then take one leg (never tried both) and point it upward by 45 degrees or more, but can't get it perpindicular to the ground though.  I'm near sighted though :/

[ChairmanPoo]

gobble gobble, gobble gobble

[Pathos]

You're not hearing a "hum" of electricity, I THINK, but you're feeling magnetic field generated by an electric current passing through a wire.

Not 100% certain on that, though. Feel free to correct me. And I think everyone can do it.

What I've found that certain other people can't do: Hear a really high pitched screeching sound, sometimes. I've found maybe four or five people that can hear it when it happens, and they tend towards younger people. Maybe a frequency that slowly gets killed off as you get older? I know the range gets smaller.

[Akigagak]

God yes. I hate that noise. Thing is, I don't remember hearing it when I was young.

[Itnetlolor]

I can still hear it. It's like having your ears ring, but not.
