There are currently 7 cats and a dog residing in my house.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I went to see my first ballet / opera (don't remember which it was) performance when I was 5.

As a kid, I had my own mini puppet theatre scene.

Sometimes I dream music in my sleep. Complete symphonic scores on the fly. I can never remember it all when I wake up, but someday I may get rich if I can get my hands on a dream recorder.

Hey, I've done that.  Or it feels like it; there's this weird mental music that comes on with tremendous number of instruments that comes on, right before falling asleep.  I can never even remember the tune.

Also, I have stupid hair, which is why I've shaved my head for the most part of the last five or so years.

I liked the old thread on the old Languish that I may be making up from whole cloth where we made up strange facts about other people.

E.g., "Mongers is a bisexual: he has sex with bicycles."

Too much negro blood, huh?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Arab and Berber, possibly.

I can exhale through my tear ducts if I pinch my nose shut.

Sucks when trying to blow your nose.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I can feel colours with my fingertips.
How?
Nothing supernatural, if you get two things otherwise exactly the same, such as gaming pieces or Smarties, the different colours feel subtly different, probably due to the chemicals used. Try it and see. Yellow is an easy one to start with, it feels slimy. Blue is slightly rough. Red is smooth. It takes practice.

I'm good enough at this that friends won't let me pick a gaming piece from a bag to see who goes first.

You know you'd make a quite credible modern marvel comic superhero.   :D
