“Apparently, some people have an ’internal monologue’?” Angelica Martinez is the Latine Editorial Lead at BuzzFeed and covers a little bit of everything, from quizzes and true crime to celebrities and pop culture. ^^An actual DM I received from a friend that I feel like more or less sums the experience up, TBH. Hot girls get hives!!! "After some googling and reading comments of fellow weird-head-noise-sufferers, it's believed to be the sound of your spinal fluid, though there's admittedly not a whole lot out there on it. People tend to hear it most when they're hungry and, after some personal testing, I can confirm that holds up." "The sleepwalking is worse when I'm stressed. Last week, I woke up in the morning to find I had fried pierogis. I put four sauces in containers and put them in the sink, and then I packed my lunch. It was cat food. Also, last week, I woke up to my back door WIDE OPEN, and a receipt for an Uber ride to the city (124$) that apparently I ordered and didn't take. Because the tasks are getting more complex and generally fucking dangerous, my doctor made me get elderly alarms like the ones they have in hospitals." Mallen streaks are also known as Poliosis. "He straightened out my hips and asked if I knew one leg was a little more than an inch shorter than the other one. I have recurring pain in my lower back and knees, and I can crack my neck super loud. I am definitely very clumsy and can't run on a treadmill (it's hard to run in a straight line like that, lol)." "When I was in my 20s, I went to the doctor for something unrelated, and she checked my throat and just said, 'Huh you have a double uvula. Neat!' I went home and told my roommates, and they all had to look in my mouth. I thought they would think the doctor was the weirdo, but they were all shocked. I'll never forget one saying, 'You've got balls in your throat!'" People with Musical Ear Syndrome will hear music playing even when there is no actual source of the sound. "After a week of tests and painkillers, they finally figured out the issue. I then had surgery to open up my second uterus and cervix, which had been sealed shut by a membrane. I had been having periods for a year and had built up, like, two liters' worth of blood in my sealed second uterus. So once that was drained out and I was put on major antibiotics, I got to go home and tell all my friends that I had two uteruses. I was also born with one kidney. Not sure if that’s related, but I sure am a mess down there lmao." "My doctors are aware I am like this, and my septum has been checked. It's not off enough to cause the problem. I just have a long list of incredibly annoying allergies that cause the issue. For example, I'm allergic to just about every green plant."
