    I'm currently learning German on Duolingo. The school I'm going to next year has German as a language, so I wanted to get a head start because I need to be decent or good at something immediately in order to not get annoyed by it.

    I have osmophobia (phobia of smells). I feel repulsed to strong smells, mostly artificial ones. So I can't stand any perfume or deodorant. They make me feel nauseous and give migraines.

    It sounds like you have fragrance hypersensitivity and allergies to some synthetic fragrances or even herbal ones. Research carefully what the products you can use contain so that you can better define what you cannot tolerate. I suffer from this myself and the most recent example was when I came to the stairwell of our apartment building and a really strong smell of laundry detergent came up from the basement laundry room. I was still sneezing at home and when I have to dry the sheets downstairs, I put them outside to air out and even then I wake up with a stuffy nose and itchy eyes. I am apparently condemned to use allergy medicine all year round. It would be heavenly if scented detergents were banned in the shared laundry room of our apartment building. Sorry for the long opening, but if you have any questions about scent sensitivity, I'd be happy to answer them!

    Same. I once drew out the layout - both stories - of a house I hadn't seen since I was 5. The only thing I got wrong was one closet and I just had it on the wrong wall, it was across from where I had put it. I have to say it's a pretty useful skill. though mine isn't 100% perfect but it's close. I average 98%.

    I am a trained painter and bookbinder. I can imitate different types of wood, gilding, decorative painting and even imitating marble etc. I can bind books by hand without machines. It's a useless skill these days, though. Of course, necessary for repairing old books that require a gentle hand. For example, in books after the Second World War, there was clearly a shortage of good glue in Finland, and to remove the glue, you mainly need surgical tools and fine sandpaper, one folded page at a time from the back. The glue resembled solidified caramel.

    I speak both English and French. I’m also a Canadian, I could go on and on about how beautiful Canada is, the healthcare system is free, we have created a delicious dish of french fries, gravy, and cheese curds, it’s called Poutine, and it’s delicious. If you ever want to visit any country, you should come to Canada, but be careful not to startle the cobra chickens, because they will attack you. Cobra chickens are Canada Geese by the way, but their nickname is very appropriate and fitting for these aggressive birds.

    I have the ability to “replay” what someone just said in my mind. Literally, if I want to, when I hear a sentence or a musical phrase that someone just said, I can hear it again in my head. I can even speed it up or slow it down, so I mostly use this weird power to figure out what someone said without asking them to repeat it. IDK if that’s something everyone can do or if it’s just me, but it’s cool either way!

    I have a lot of knowledge about Mummies and I'm still learning about more cultures that had mummies every day. I have to reign myself in because a lot of people think they're creepy. On the same note while I know a lot about Egyptian mummies - I know more about other mummies around the world. I feel like Egypt gets all the mummy hype and there's just so many out there. I haven't kept up on the Egypt side of things so a lot of my knowledge is older information.

    I have a lot of random knowledge in my head and will always warn people to double check me cause some of it is older stuff. I have such varied interests and research so much random stuff that I've got a lot rattling around in my brain. Researching is one of my hyper focuses that is a hobby of mine. I will start up looking up some information on a recent(ish - 2019) sacrificial site found in Peru - and some how wind up reading some research paper on the origin of Garden Gnomes, before bouncing off to the real story behind the raft of the medusa then reading a scientific study done on a specific genome to CRISPR technology and some work they're doing that I'm keeping an eye on. So yeah....it's pretty varied. Side note: I'm cautious about CRISPR. I see what they want to do but I have concerns.
