I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. Stomach hurts? Appendicitis. (I have a long and recurring fear of appendicitis; I read too many books where the protagonists got appendicitis as a kid. For the longest time I thought everyone got appendicitis at some point in their lives. Nope, turns out only like 10% of the population does.) Recently I've been afraid that I will choke to death on my own food, especially because while I have roommates they are not often home so I'm alone by myself and if I started choking, there would be no one around to thump on my back or give me the Heimlich (interesting side note, they are no longer calling it the Heimlich, but I can't remember what they ARE calling it). Or even to call the hospital. I end up chewing things A LOT. I've never done the regurgitation thing, though.

Uh, also, the only dance I can do is the Twist.

I like to take pictures of my bruises and put them on Twitter (too many people follow me/would find it weird if I posted them on Facebook). I think they're kind of fun and interesting. Often when I am drinking I start pounding on the table when I'm excited about what I'm talking about, and I find when I do that I actually end up bruising myself on my own bones so I get these neat circular bruises right below where my pinky joins my hands a lot.

Also, I like to be really warm all the time or as much as possible. In fact, I'm most comfortable when I am just slightly perspiring. People think this is weird or gross, but I just like to be warm. Summer is my favorite season and I'm thinking about relocating to the South, eventually, job permitting.

I don't think this is too Reddit-esque at all, by the way. Hubski is all about the discussion.
