Over the past few years I've been working on a fictional universe as a hobby. I [URL="http://gamebanana.com/css/maps/160459"]also[/URL] tend to make [URL="http://gamebanana.com/csgo/maps/165811"]Source[/URL] game [URL="http://gamebanana.com/hl2dm/maps/164414"]maps[/URL] that take [URL="http://gamebanana.com/cssgg/maps/164736"]place[/URL] in this [URL="http://gamebanana.com/csgo/maps/165727"]universe[/URL].
It revolves around the idea of multiple layers of reality (which includes the concept of tangible worlds within human minds) and generally has no clearly defined good or evil, only protagonists and antagonists, all with grey-grey morality. All factions have their motives, their likable characters, and their utter assholes.
Though this fictional universe as a whole does not revolve exclusively around a single central storyline, the major events, story arcs and narratives deal with the interactions between [URL="http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/020/5/6/god_by_doctornuriel-d4n1fq8.jpg"]Yahweh[/URL] (God, a morally alien, cybernetic being with severe psychological issues) and a race of sentient electricity, the Architects, who seek to free God's sapient creations from His reign. God is omnipotent, within the confines of His own realm and creations (which includes our galaxy), which means He cannot simply "want" the Architects to death because they are not His creations.
Other story arcs involve stuff like retrofuturistic gladiatorial blood sports, the downfall of a society of living dolls, a psychological self-analysis within the imaginary world of an emotionally handicapped child rapist who, for the first time, regrets her actions, and other shit.
It's a big, varied universe.
No idea if I'll ever manage to actually do something useful with it and finish it but hell, it's fun to work on.

I hope those 13 times were not because you almost missed your train and needed to run over the red lights to get it.

I have one attached earlobe, and one unattached earlobe.
Since my thumb can bend 90 degrees backwards without any external assistance, I sometimes play this trick on people. I say 'Hey, flick my thumb!' they do so, and BAM, fake broken thumb. I've had some funny reactions from it.
Also my mother works at a mental place where she constrains and medicates the crazies. A few years back, one of 'em went mental, picked her up by her hair and threw her into a wall. This damaged both of her shoulder blades and she has to live with constant arm pain- although she did have a surgery a year or two back that fixed her right arm.

[QUOTE=absolalone111;39185924]Please tell me this comes with a story[/QUOTE]
when i was in nursing school i had a patient who was like two years older than me but he had a rare mental condition that, on top of giving him the mindset of a toddler, basically caused him to consume pretty much everything in reach. he just ate and drank and ate and drank and ate and drank uncontrollably until he was over 600 pounds and bedbound. The guy was being considered for hospice care. At 24 years old.
Anyway, he also had severe respiratory issues. He had a bipap machine by his bed and if the mask was off for any longer than about 20 seconds he'd start turning blue. I was assigned two patients that day. Luckily for him, my other patient was in the adjacent room.
So I hear this horrible beeping noise while I'm doing an assessment on my other patient and I run in and the guy is purple. No, that's not an exaggeration. Literally fucking purple. Apparently one of his family members, against CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE NURSING STAFF AND THE DOCTOR, left him a pack of gum on his chest and then left the room. So naturally he took his mask off and started eating (not chewing, eating) the gum piece by piece.
The mask was on the floor. It was basically an oh fuck moment where I scooped the mask on and shoved it back over his mouth. Took a minute but the color came back and his blood oxygen levels returned to acceptable levels.
If I hadn't been nearby when his bipap started going off, the dude woulda bit it. The family was out of the room and his nurse was doing her med rounds. I'm glad that at this point we weren't allowed to help with medication administration because if we had I would have been there, with the nurse, instead of where I was. I nearly flipped my shit at the family when they got back. It pissed me off. They didn't thank me when I told em what happened. The guy himself wasn't even capable of understanding that he almost died, so whatever. But it would have been nice, at least, to get some kind of "wow we're sorry we won't do it again" or "thanks for fixing our comically huge fuckup".
So yeah. I didn't do much but be there when it happened.
My vocal cords are very weak, it hurts to speak louder than moderate whispering.
In late elementary school I practiced monk-like meditation. I could feel no pain, control my body temperature but I still have/had trouble completely clearing my mind. I also maintained a good amount of strength even though I hardly did any exercise, against an equally conditioned fellow I'd easily win.
So much on the body temperature that I could wear a sweatshirt in 100°F weather which I did for about a year and a half. Alibi I constantly had 2-3 water bottles on me to keep myself hydrated.
