Quirks!

[groovydancer88]

What are your quirks? Any intersting facts that nobody knows about you? Any strange habits?

An odd thing about me... I guzzle water. You will rarely see me without a water bottle. I swear, I'm addicted! I get dehydration headaches if I don't have tons of H2O. I guess that's about the healthiest thing you can be addicted to, though, so I won't complain.

Share your weird traits!

I am ambidextrous I can touch my nose with my tounge, and I'm addicted to gum. I don't know anything else right now, but I'm sure I'll think of something later...

 

[Scuba Pete]

I can't ease into things... it's %110 or it's nothing.

 

[groovydancer88]

I am ambidextrous.

Oh, I'm so jealous! When I was smaller I tried to train my left hand to write as well as my right... I gave up. That's pretty cool!

 

[cardero]

I shake alot. It is not out of nervousness but out of a need to constantly keep moving.

 

[Jaymes]

I eat frozen french fries and pick the cheese off of pizza.

 

[Bastet]

I have a slightly OCD thing where I have to check the door locks at night before I go to bed. Even if I know the doors are locked, and remember doing it not 5 minutes beforehand, I can't sleep until I get up and check again.

Well some know of my fear of buttons. I also have a fear of horses, WHICH I DESPERATELY WANT TO OVERCOME CAUSE I LOVE THEM!!!!!!! I once ran in the woods arms length away from a deer. (that is hard!!!!!) I have a nervous drumming habit. I also fidget alot, (which is why I was nicknamed "fidget" by one of my martial arts teachers.) I have photosensitivity (light gives me horrible migraines). I am a polydactyl (I have a growth of an extra finger on my right pinky.) I have a birthmark in the shape of a crescent moon on my left side below my armpit. I may be epileptic (the doctors aren't sure). In 3rd grade I was told I needed glasses, so I got them. But in 6th grade, I fell down my basement stairs, smashed my head of the concrete floor, stood up and could see fine. Now I have 20/10 vision in my left eye, and 20/20 vision in my right eye. Thats all I can think of right now. But I'm pretty sure there are lots more.

I've got a couple of odd quirks:

I can't be anywhere without music. No matter what I'm doing or where I am, I've got to have music playing somewhere. I used to even sit in class with one earphone in my ear, just so the music would still be around me. I sleep with my radio on and if someone is sleeping over and they can't sleep with the music, I'll put my discman on and pass out with the music blaring through the earphones. I even walk around my house with my earphones in.

I can't sleep without my cat in the room. If I fall asleep without her in the room, I will wake up sometime in the middle of the night because she's not there and have to search throughout the house for her until I find her to bring her into the room. When I'm on business trips I wake up at least five times a night in the hotel room and have trouble getting back to sleep each time because she's not with me.

:O same here!

If worrying were an Olympic sport, I would have a shelf full of gold medals. If I can't think of anything to worry about, I worry about that.

I am a nut about clean hands. It drives me nuts when I fill up my gas tank and have a gas smell on my hands. As a young boy, I used to get up two or three times during a meal to wash my hands. Strangely enough, I am not a clean nut other than my hands.

I always have to have my pocket money arranged by denomination, with the largest on the bottom.

I prefer to have the person I am talking to seated or standing on my left.

I hate driving on interstate highways.

I don't like to eat during the day--only in the evenings.

I don't like to wear coats or jackets--even in the winter.

I can't sleep in a totally quiet room. I need a fan running or some other ambient noise.

I hate talking on the telephone.

I could go on and on--but I won't.

Are those enough quirks to have me legally committed?

 

[No*s]

I have several odd ones myself.

I twiddle a stick all day long. It has to be curved a certain way and a certain length. While twiddling it...I talk to myself as I think. There are no voices, though . I need to develop some to really seem nutty there.

I have an odd love of reptiles. If I see a lizard, snake, or something like that, I invariably think it's "cute," but many of the dogs, cats, etc. people like I don't think are "cute" (until I love on them too much).

I walk around barefoot almost everywhere I go. If I'm walking someplace where I need shoes, I will carry them. I will do this even in the winter or in the snow...even though I'm cold almost all the time if it's below 90 degrees.

I'm that cold-natured, but the less I wear the better...even if I'm shivering uncontrollably.

I am obsessive about "tweaking" with my computer. I don't like pork, so I'm always trying to streamline it more or make it function better so my life with it can be more enjoyable. As a result, I frequantly get disgusted with my setup and decide to rebuild it.

I'm an extrememly messy person. I have papers, clothes, etc. scattered everywhere. I cannot stand, however, food, dung, and things like that lying about. Still, though, I will have my junk (again papers, clothes, CDs, books, etc.) scattered about so much that I need to clear out paths to walk through in many cases...but I won't tolerate a spilt coke to remain.

I drink hot tea compulsively almost all the time. If I have it available, I'll go through five or six glasses a day.

I have an extreme love of "small town" culture, but at the same time it revolts me for all the same reasons I love it.

I hate eating by myself or in front of a TV and love to talk to my friends...but if I'm home, I tend to stay in front of the computer and not talk much at all. Still, though, I like my friends a lot and talk incessantly with them in public. However, if I am in a really large crowd, I will either draw off to my friends or just shut up.

I think those probably make me seem odd enough now .

 

[cardero]

I eat the inside of my mouth.

 

[SK2005]

Oh, I'm so jealous! When I was smaller I tried to train my left hand to write as well as my right... I gave up. That's pretty cool!

I can do just about everything with both hands/sides of the body. But when I was younger I taught myself to write with my left hand, but it's not as good as my right...

Another thing, i can't sit still. I have to be up doing something.

You'd love it where I live!

 

[SK2005]

Oh another one! I can not stand to be sitting, walking, standing, or anything behind someone. In school, i always sit in the front row, and in the halls, I walk pretty fast. I just can't take it!

 

[No*s]

That is entirely possible. While I may have my misgivings about smalltown culture...I certainly stay far, far away from big cities when I have a choice .

You would hate to be around me. I do almost everything slow except when I'm doing it for someone else or being paid for something, and then I speed up (it's their money/time). On the street, I've even had old ladies pass me as I walk .

LOL, that is really funny. When my friends and I are in the mall, I'm always ahead of them, and it's really funny because they always make fun of me. So then, I just act like I'm blind and they have to lead me around...

Hey Net Doc, you and I seem similar on that one; my wife keeps complaining that I am an 'all or nothing' guy.
When I get into something - whatever it is; gardening, computing, cleaning, I go on until ' I drop' - apparently that is one of the pointers for diagnosing Fibromyalgia. Somehow, I become so fo immersed in what I do that I feel no pain - until I stop that is, and then I can be in such bad pain that I can end up being in bed for a day!
Other 'quirks' ? apart from my beliefs that brought me to this forum (I call that a quirk because a lot of people here tend to think of Religion as a bit 'passe' - if you are interested, you must be a bit strange.
Oh, and I love working on computers,I adore music. I think that's about it. Sounds very boring, really.

Not boring at all, Michel!
