Ok, I deserve to be the "miss Freak of all Freaks" here. Me my mother and 3 of my 4 siblings have a small dot on the side of our left little finger that my mom asked a doctor why we all had. He said it was a "beginning" of a 6th finger...ha, ha, THAT IS FREAKY!!! Right?
Too bad I didn´t get a 6th finger, I would have RULED the armwrestling world in my left arm. Ha, ha.

I have a knack for attracting lightning. I was hit directly 2 years ago on campus. Took to the hospital, eyes bleeding. I was hit while driving my car on the interstate 10 months later. My family has actually left the house before during a bad storm. I am not at all proud of any of this.

Tyler!
Thank you for your kind words, but I don´t really rule in my left arm. But I am not to bad. Ha, ha ha.
Andrew!!!
Don´t try to stand by my side, trying to calm me down when a thunder storm is on it´s way. Ha, ha. That IS freaky!

I didn't even know I had been hit until two girls came up to me...apparently they witnessed the strike from atop the hill, whereas I was passing by the Clock Tower on my way home (NOT A GOOD IDEA).
It hit me so hard that it made my muscles contract to the point where I couldn't move or anything. I remember walking and then white blindness. I remember the pain in my eyes being so unbearable, they were bleeding from the sockets and corners. Aside from that, it messed up my metabolism a good month or two, I would sleep for 20 hours at a time, simply not able to stay awake... or vice versa, stay awake for two days straight until I was physically exhausted to the point where I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. For the most part, everything is back to normal.

It was March 29, apparently 2 days before April Fool's... of course I didn't know that right after I had been hit. The hospital thought I was pulling some magnificient, elaborate prank on them. They actually took my umbrella, which was literally scorched...took samples of it and photopraphed the damage pattern on it to determine whether I was messing with them or had actually been hit. I Guess docs don't see this kinda thing everyday. I still have the umbrella as a souvenir of sorts, and everytime I look at it, I still can't believe I lived through something like that.

Something like only 20% actually die on impact. However, quite a few victims have reported weird things such as complete loss of childhood memories. I haven't experienced anything like that, but lightbulbs do tend to flicker when I walk by.

I can hardly imagine what that must've been like. I think I would push for people to believe I went insane so that I could get away with doing crazy things. There are really worse things than getting hit by lightning......like getting hit by lightning twice! The second time when I was in my car, it blinded me and I went off the road. Car is still busted.
