What's normal???: When it comes to goosebumps (or "piloerection"), there probably is no "normal." People get them in all kinds of weird ways. Sometimes this is an indication of an imbalance in your so-called "autonomic" nerves (nerves that make you sweat, flush, get goosebumps and all kinds of other embarassing things) but this is rare and in the case of goosebumps, an interesting conversation at a party.
