I like the dark. I wish I didn't live in the middle of a city because light pollution and the snow make for an eternal twilight in winter. I never turn on a light unless I have to do something precise(like type a forum reply, for instance.) And people I know wonder why I see and hear so much better then they do even though I wear glasses. To the point where they talk about me having "super hearing" and whatnot.
It's because I don't barrage my senses with bright light and loud noises day in and day out like they do. People are obsessed with the sun, they're always like "why don't you go outside?" "have you been outside today?" "You aren't getting enough sun." And they all have to turn on a light just to move through the house in midday. One of my friends hangs out with people who have nothing better to do than sit around and see how loud they can get their cars to play the latest rap track. He was over yesterday and was listening to his stuff on his laptop, and he had to have it so loud just to hear it that my neighbor came over and complained about it. His phone rang on the charger across the room, and I heard it just fine even over the music, but I had to tell him he had a call. I cannot talk to him on the phone for more than a few minutes because he has to yell into it for other people to hear him.
What freaks me out is when my hearing is bocked- when there is too much noise for me to distinguish one sound from another. I feel like somebody's gonna sneak up on me and I won't even notice.
