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.

My hearing is superb. This is quite annoying a lot of time when I hear some barely audible pitches, and high voltage power lines :/

Do your ears hurt at any moderately loud high-pitched noises? Causing a reaction where you sort of duck your head down into your shoulders and put you fingers in your ears, releasing a 'aaAAAhg' sound?

Get's some damn strange looks, I can tell you, especially as, to them, I do it for no reason.

Also, transformers. (not the robot ones) I can't go near them. It hurts so much, and it's constant.

I can hear the high-pitched ringing sound, too. Only when I'm really, really, bored or I think about it. Otherwise it's perfectly ignorable. That's about it. My eyes seem to adapt to light a little faster than most people. At least, I don't complain when someone flips a light switch in a dark room. Also I'm only moderately annoyed at that one sound you can make with chalk on a chalkboard that makes most people want to kill you. Also, I seem to be pretty flexible, much more because I'm really skinny than any real flexibility. I can't touch my toes, but I can bring any part of my foot up to my mouth. And my personality changes a little depending on who I'm hanging out with, but that's definitely normal.

Basically, I'm nothing special. At least not when I read about all you people with your cool multicolored eyes and weird joints.

I can give myself a lazy eye on a whim, as well as make both eyes vibrate back and forth rapidly.

I'm a skinny white boy, so you would never expect it, but I have pretty big biceps. They spend most of their time hiding in my shirtsleeves, so no one ever notices. It's a good party trick to flex when someone criticizes my skinniness, the reactions are priceless.

Some chick at a birthday party was taunting me for being a "scarecrow," so I flexed. Her eyes popped four inches out of her head and her jaw fell off her face, bounced off the table, and fell clattering to the floor. Her exact words were, "My GOD, he's like a freaking frilled lizard!"

This comparison amused me much more than it should have under normal circumstances. I should had soda instead of punch.

Wow. We're all a bunch of freaks, aren't we?
Some of us have mutant eyes, some can like, read minds almost, but the weirdest thing of all, the one I still just can't make sense of: We play ASCII games. AND LIKE IT

WE ARE BETTER THAN THESE LOWLY "HUMANS" YOU SPEAK OF.

AND YOU ARE ONE OF US.

Well, best to be on the winning side, eh eh? ;)

You know, I almost feel dismayed. I can't think of any particularly unique traits that I possess at all. I feel so mundane, after reading some of these. Like, literally. I have, uh, long hair? Uh...nothing.

You can have my partially webbed feet, if you want.

That reminds me, my (long) hair has the exact colour and sheen of copper wire.
Except when it's greasy.
Which is 70% of the time.

Also, I'm growing a neckbeard.
Albeit slowly, but it's still growing.

I have sideburns and a mustache, but nothing grows on my chin/neck. I shave because it looks demented.

Most mustaches make people look like sex offenders.
There are a few good ones though.
They are the ones that are worthy of being called a stache.

Waitwaitwait. Are you a girl?

That's the only reason I can think of that would prevent you from getting facial hair. And even then...

Or are you an Elf?
Maybe something horrible happened to your testosterone glands?

I have Durham's Foot, or cryopedis, which causes my feet to be ridiculously cold for some reason. I don't have poor circulation problems and my feet don't hurt either.

I can make this strange sound in my ears which sometimes helps me hear better, or sometimes clears it up when there is water in it. That and a wierd sensation comes by now and again in my ear which irritates the hell out of me. But I have great hearing anyways. I usually open up a door very quickily the moment I hear keys or a person walking towards it. Plus the wierd ringing sound when nothing happens.

I also have a type of Eczema, doesn't bother me much though.

That is about it.

Oh, right. I can see that being confusing. Yes, I'm a girl.
Whoa! Maybe I have that Durhams thing, my feet are cold even as we speak type! Success.
So theres a lot of ear-related things in hear, like that ringing people hear in silence. That ones on Wikipedia though, I recall is being some sort of genetic trait.
