- I have an almost phobia about answering a phone or calling people.  I'll let the answering machine pick it up whenever I'm at home, and I'd rather wait to see something than pick up the phone and call them, especially people I don't really know.

Same thing. Drives my parents nuts, but they're mostly the cause of it. XD They always told my bro and I never to answer the phone unless we know it's them so i always let it go to the answering machine (unless it's my cell phone) I NEVER call anyone unless they're relatives.

Some more things about me:
-I have gone 22 hours without eating (Mostly because I was distracted by the Internet)
-I end up getting at least 3 hours of sleep a day because if I don't go to sleep I end up keeling over anyway.
-I once was anemic and had to have two packets of blood pumped back into me because of heavy bleeding over the span of a week or so.
-eyes change color with mood (green/gray/blue)

Any medical explanation for that? :)

About me:
- I like watching football
- I never use my mobile phone cause I always forget to turn it on
- I eat snacks during school lessons
- I haven't decided what I want to become in the future

That is all for now. If I think of anything else, I will edit this post

Nope, it's genetics that I share with my brother at least. You can tell what mood we're in by the color of our eyes. When we're calm they're usually gray/blue...happy is blue...and upset/angry is green. When someone stole my cellphone and I happened to look in the mirror (cuz I had been crying a bit...I get emotional sometimes...they were a vivid sea green.

EDIT: Also, the yahoo link shows some factual evidence but it proves that they can indeed change color depending on mood (because the pupils dilate when you're emotional and probably the salt in tears changes the color as well) The second one is quizilla which shouldn't be trusted worth a rats ass anyway.

Crazy, I share the first three of yours.

Well except I am the only Dane in the world to be a moderator of the largest GTA related community.

Other interesting facts about me:
- I have a giantess fetish (as apparent from my webcomic).
- I talk to myself (and occasionally hear voices).
- I've watched every Futurama episode at least 6 times.
- I am currently writing two books (hopefully they'll get published some day).

Eye color is the product of the number and distribution of melanosomes in the cells comprising the iris stroma and the relatively constant distribution within the iris pigment epithelium.  In humans, these can change somewhat throughout different stages of development (infant to adolescent), but do not respond to hormonal or neural factors.  However, in many fish and reptiles, melanosome distribution does change in response to such factors. 

So, if this is indeed happening to you and your brother, it could be a rare case of atavism -- a dormant gene dating back to your amphibian ancestors reactivated due to a random genetic permutation.

However, it is unlikely you are that special and there is no documented study of such a phenomenon that I can find -- so I'd be inclined to believe it is just changes in lighting.  :)
