An invitation to talk about myself? Yay!

First of all: complex machinery is universal.

As for me? I'm smart, curious, I get math, I'm good at teaching, and I try to reconcile all my knowledge with itself. These are probably normal for non-impaired, non-darkside people.

I can't think of anything transnormal.

I was just remarking to a friend: when people respond to these things, I think they forget that the planet has seven billion people on it. What's actually being discussed is "I have this experience and have never heard of anyone else having it," which naturally leads to social proof presenting itself, and that can be useful for some situations. For other situations it can work like a horoscope.
