Post 5 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done. See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...) Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.
 
1. Skinny dipped in the Indian Ocean
2. Made Lewis Black laugh
3. Struck up a long-lasting friendship with an author because of one of her characters’ names
4. Watched a brain surgery from inside the OR
5. Biked the Gemini Bridges trail in Moab, Utah
 
Anyone else done that?

Isn't that weird how it sort of surprises your conscious mind? And the things that set it off? I noticed that it's the sound of hyperventilation for me--I actually almost fainted while not watching Hostel, because my friends were watching it and had the sound up enough that I started breathing in time to somebody's hysterical screams. They were puzzled when I had to get up from my book and lie down on the floor with my feet on my chair.

We think it runs in the family. Dad's got some stories of his own (he's proof that you can apparently get over it), and my brother is an urban legend at our old high school for being The Reason The History Teacher No Longer Shows Those World War I Slides From The Veterans' Hospital. (He's got a really specific trigger, too, which is knowledge I may use for evil someday.) And I have one other totally unconscious incident of my own on record, but it was in reaction to pain instead.
