Hmm…
>- Blue eyes
Yes.
>- Occipital Bun
Yes.
>- Birth Complications
Sort of. I was a breach.
>- Near Death Experiences
YES, drowning. Weirdest thing about this is, I remember it clearly, but nobody else seems to. Not even the person who pulled me out of the pool. Been doubting it ever since, but my god, does this freak me out now.
>- lack of memory of GATE
I remember quite a bit about mine, actually. This program was called AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted), lasted until roughly Grade 7, and I was more or less set up for this since Grade 1. Which is strange, because I was in a private school from grades 1-3. But in Grade 4, I was sent to a room with no windows with a few other students for some kind of reading assignment. We covered something by E.B. White (I think it was The Trumpet of the Swan), and The B.F.G. by Roald Dahl. Don't remember too much beyond that, as far as assignments we had, but I do remember doodling a lot in my notebook at the time.
Grade 5 was when the true AIG classes started, and I tended to get in trouble a lot in there. Most distinct things I remember: In the math class, we had an audio tape series called "Journey to the Other Side" that we listened to and did assignments from. In the English/language arts class, we got to set our own spelling tests for ourselves. Books we covered: Tuck Everlasting; Bully for You, Teddy Roosevelt; Julie of the Wolves; Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry (this one was covered again in Grade 7).
Grades 6 and 7 were when I got to that point where I didn't give a fuck about school anymore, and my grades began to drop. Either I was cycled out of the AIG program by Grade 8, or it ended. I just don't know. Something I do know—in middle school (Grades 6-8), all of the students in the same grade were organized by "teams." This was basically a way to cover up who was in the AIG program, so the students wouldn't know. Only way I found out was because my mom let it slip that the "team" I was on in Grade 6 was the AIG class, which is why it was smaller.
Now, I'm not sure if these are the GATE-level classes that you're looking for, but AIG is listed as a GATE program that someone can get a degree in teaching, but only in NC. Which is where I grew up.
>- windows were covered
Not always. Besides that one room with no windows whatsoever, the windows were typically open. Hell, I remember sun getting too bright on some days.
>- tendency to being followed (abductions and general tracking too)
YES. Never abducted, but I developed a fear of being followed because I tended to be followed around school for as long as I was in the AIG program.
>- Interest in /x/ phenomena
Literally since I was young. X-Files was my favorite series growing up, and I was born in '92.
>- Heavy early twenties drug period
Never done drugs.
>- Forehead scares
Scares? Scars?
>- Early speech therapy
Never had speech therapy.
>- First born sons
Yes. Only son.
>- Migraines
Frequent. Twice a week, at minimum.
>- Israeli art student girlfriends (not even joking)
lol no
>- Meme Magic
Eh.
>- Premonitions/prophetic dreams
Ridiculously yes. Happens frequently, and it's usually mundane events, too. One I remember most vividly is seeing what the designs of the first state quarters looked like in some sort of jewelry store. About a week later, I saw the designs, and they were identical to the ones in my dream.
>- Above average intuition
Yes.
