Have you ever looked at someone, seen someone do something, or just plain heard about it and said to yourself, "Wow, that's pretty cool"?
Well hearing that makes people feel special, different in a good way that sets them apart from the rest of the sheep.
So what's so special about you? I'm interested to hear what people find cool about themselves and to be both shocked, amazed, and awestruck by their talents, achievements, or simple quirks.

I'll start with me I suppose. (If you think this is my way of bragging about myself, it kind of is)
I am physically incapable of moving my right eyebrow. It all started when I was born with a twist of blood vessels in my right tempel that weaved in and out of my skull. Whenever I laughed really hard, or hung upside down blood would rush through them and for some reason cause my skin to swell into a little bump about the size of a half dollar. This got plenty of worried looks and WTF's in its time, and I was quite content to be called 'bubble boy' now and again just for the reactions I got from showing it to people who hadn't seen it yet. "Wierd..." "That's so cool!" and "EWWW!" Were some of my favorites growing up.
When the summer before my 7th grade year rolled around, I wanted to join the school football team. My parent thought this was a bad idea seeing as how football is a contact sport and the fact that I virtually had a few holes in my head probably wouldn't hold up to a head on collision. I don't remember all the details, but suffice to say we went up to Portland to get it removed (The braid of blood vessels that is) and the night before the surgery some doctors came into my room and told me that they could get most of it out with the chance of the whole thing growing back or just take out everything in a 3 inch diameter of my temple and be rid of it for good.
Why not?
So they took out all the meat on the right side of my face, cut out the section of my skull with all the holes in it and totally replaced it. You can still feel the screws. Also I have a totally sick scar from the top of my head down to the top of my right ear.

So that's it for me! Paralized right eyebrow for the rest of my life. What about you guys? Anything exciting about you or your life? Did your great uncle happen to invent sliced bread? Did you write a book we can check out at our local library? Go ahead and feel good about yourself!
