Quirks. Hmmm.

- I have this little purple glass statuette of a cat, and a blue one of a bird. If I forget to talk to them in the morning, I'll be depressed all day. I have to tell them goodnight, too, or else I'll have terrible nightmares involving knives.

- When reading, I tend to take off my glasses and gnaw on the sides, without me noticing until the paint is gone. This is becoming less common as my eyesight worsens: I'll catch myself because I have trouble seeing the page in front of me. Incidentally, and against all reason, I'm both near- and far- sighted, so I can focus on things three feet away without glasses but nothing closer or farther away. Because I thought this was normal until I discovered glasses a few years ago...

- When talking to people, I tend to stay about three feet away from them. This often makes people think that I think they smell bad, or something, but it's just a stupid habit from when that was where I could see them best.

- Although I don't need to have music in the room when I sleep, I am drawn to it. If I can barely hear some music, I will move clumsily in that general direction while asleep. Until I got a stereo for my room, I would often be found (in the morning) lying on the floor near my sister's room, from which music was coming. Now I avoid this by turning on music before sleeping.

That's enough for now. I hope you have enjoyed your tour of the wide world of Koneko. The gift shop is on your left as you exit. Please consider the glass statuettes, as buying one definitely will not brainwash you into thinking you are a kitten.

I only have a few,

When im sitting down I tend to move my leg up and down, then i'll just stop and find myself doing it again.

I can crack my thumb really loud since my cousin screwed it up. It always feels weird, so now I just crack it from habit.

I always needed lotion for my feet before. They were too dry.

I sing to some songs too but not so anyone else can hear it. It´d be interesting to hear your voice sometimes, Bella.

I bite the skin below my fingernails...well, what Leggy said. Sometimes on my toenails too but I´ve kinda stopped with that now.

"I tend to go off into random things when talking/typing."

Same with me.

I also have that nervous thing with my right leg.

- my room has to be cold or else I can't sleep.
- it must rain or I can't sleep really good. (Rain is relaxing my body)
- I often sing and like my voice.
- I have to finish my work perfectly or I get mad at me.
- I often crack my fingers and neck *cracks both*
- I bite my nails
- I don't talk that often and sometimes don't answer asked questions for some reason.
- And I replay my day in a dream.

Speaking of stream of consciousness...Am I the only one that has ever gotten ass-blasted stoned and listened to James Joyce's Ulysses on audio tape? I suggest it.

Personal quirks, eh? This ought to be fun.

1) Tourrettes. About 5 or so years ago I found out that I have tourrettes syndrome. Most people end up with vocal tourrettes, and shout out obsenities and such. Me, I blink a lot, I twitch my nose, and I can't stop interrupting. I take pills now for it (Straterra and Clonodine) and it really controls the twitching, but I still blurt out. It's getting better though.

2) I can't sleep without my dog being either on the bed or close to it. I also can't sleep on my back and can't sleep without at least a sheet over me. I also refuse to sleep naked; it just feels really weird. I also hate hot pillows. I constantly flip them over and throw them to the side because they're too hot. I want to invent one that always stays cool.

3) I can't stand stupid people. In english, when I'm able to breeze through the highest reading material available, and people stumble on simple middle-school level readings, I just want to scream at them and beat them senseless (of course I won't actually do that). Same goes for math, science, and pretty much all my subjects. It's the worst in computer classes.

4) I'm extremely naive. I constantly do things (a lot of times stupid things) just to get the experience of what it feels like. I've ended up breaking bones or getting in major trouble many times.

I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them now. I'll update if I can come up with anything new.

EDIT: 5) I crack my fingers/neck/toes/ankles/back/etc. all the time. I drive people crazy, but I just have to do it. Part of the whole tourettes thing. Don't get it confused with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

6) My nails are a huge concern. If they're not short, they're evil and must be exterminated. Once again, a part of tourettes.

Let's see...

Whenever I'm alone, I'll often think aloud... sometimes it even gets on my nerves, and I tell myself to shut up. Aloud. I'm a crazy fool.

I can't sit straight on a couch or chair - I almost always cross my legs. I'm even doing it right now.

Whenever I sleep, I need to have one pillow set horizontally, and one vertically. That way I can roll over onto the vertical pillow and cool off if I get hot .

I can't sit straight ever. I also can't stand still either.

I like sleeping with 2 pillows and prefer to sleep in a cool room.

That's all I can't think up for now.

Me...

- I abuse this (...) all the time... almost NEVER has a post gone by without it, see?

- Whenever I get frustrated, I mean FRUSTRATED, I clean... yes, clean.

- My right ankle, I can pop it in and out of its socket, and make SICKENING cracking noises with it... same with my left pinky

- Nail biting... must have short nails... then they wind up bleeding OW!

- Even though I have no disorders, I certainly show signs of them... random words are fun to say. Pickle is the word of the day people

- Leg crossing... on a chair... yeah... me.

- I have a REALLY hard time staying on topic sometimes...

- Procrastinat... ah, screw it

- I think with other things than my brain... my hands my voice, my feet, a chalkboard... Im hands on

- Sometimes I wind up waking up with my head on the other side of the bed...

- Sugar packet theft from resteraunts... yes

- I play an instrument, but dont listen to ANY music

- I get really concise with things.

- Im often WAY too critical with myself. Even my best work sucks in my eyes, and thats why nobody even sees what I do usually.

I can't go a day without playing my keyboard or some sort of piano..for atleast 3 hours...if I don't, I feel like the day is wasted.

I cant sleep on my back, when I was in a car accident and broke my femur, I was forced to stay on my back in the hospital for a week and when I got home I still couldn't roll over on either side, so I barely slept for about a month.

I can't wear any shirt or jacket that touchs my adams apple, I feel like im choking.

I like to have music playing when I'm doing everything.

I have to listen to music before I go too bed, or I don't sleep.

I have to have a fan on in my room, or I can't sleep.

Every morning I have to through on a Rush album, or my day will go horrible and I will be depressed, when I through a Rush album on I feel happy and energetic...it comes from a family tragedy, for some odd reason that band helped me through very bad times.

If I get too frustrated I cry.

I like to help people, even just a little bit, with problems or anything. Whatever can make someones day a little better. Heavy believer in Karma.

That's either because of a phobia or a childhood trauma. Well, I am allowed to guess, right?


-I hum and sing and tap my fingers/pens/pencils and every other annoying thing you could possibly do to music. Let me add my voice is crazy and thank god you don't have to listen over the internet.

Not everybody has a singers voice. That doesn't stop most people though. Sing your heart out!


-I laugh for no reason. It pisses people off if they're trying to focus or be serious. I don't mean to laugh.

*ahem*


-I have to crack my back a lot, and it drives some people mad. But I have to.. I hurt my back last year and ever since, either I crack it or it hurts. =\

Ummm, ow?! I feel sorry for your back. Because that'll be major back problems in 10-15 years.

Oh yeah, I also tend to analyze circumstances and situations. =\ (How's that for "daytime" quirks, BMF?)

Even though a car is in the far lane (two lanes in the same direction), I won't turn into the near lane until the car on the far side goes by. *huggles car* That has pissed off quite a few people...

I've got a few...

-When riding in the back seat, I tend to lean my body towards the center but keep my head even (providing nobody's there and I'm not tired). I dunno why...
-When I'm not carrying anything, my right hand starts fiddling with my watch band. If I'm not wearing one, I pinch at the area looking for it.
-When I'm standing, I almost always have my left arm behind my back.

I think that's it...

I'd have to say I'm the opposite of just about everyone here for the sleeping, I can sleep anywhere and under any sleepable conditions... even some unsleepable ones. Funny considering I'm a light sleeper.


•I'm terribly uncomfortable in public if I don't feel like I'm capable of fighting (in most places, if the security/area is good then nevermind)
•I scrape my scalp/teeth with my nails
•if I'm barefoot, my heels almost never touch the ground
•I feel awkward until I either finish a sandwich/soda, see it get finished, or see it get stored away (only if it's mine though)
•I arc and spiral my mouse movement in most cases, for accuracy I guess
•I invariably use the key combination "right, left, up, down" whenever I want to get my screensaver off
•I make a concious effort not to unevenly load/work either side of my body (this comes from weightlifing since I was like ten)
•I do that thing where you touch: thumb-index, thumb-middle finger, thum-ring finger, etc. when I'm bored
•I quietly say "spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch" before I leave the house, so I don't forget anything important (can't forget those testicles!)

I just remembered two quirks invoving with food.

I finish my drink before finish my food.

That happens rarely though.

I always eat my fries or chips before eating the main meal like a burger.

I don't know why I do that.

You're not alone on that one. I always eat the fries first. Every last one. I am unable to start on the burger if the fries are incomplete .

I usually like to eat the fries and burger at the same time. I'm suprised I can now finish a whole Famous Star which isn't always a good thing ..I dont want to be fat even though Im not.. yet. I try to perfect things but other times I'm like screw it..::turns it in::

Now I do keep my fan on when I sleep but that'll stop once it gets colder

When swimming in a lake or an ocean, I paddle fast and nervously because I hate large bodies of water. In a clear, normal swimming pool I'm fine.

I try not to cringe when I see people chewing gum, picking their nose, or biting thier body parts. I think it's really gross.

I take my shoes off before walking on my carpet.

I look in the mirror often to see if I have anything wrong with my skin or the inside of my mouth. Most of the times I have this white tongue that bothers me.

I wash my hands immediatly after touching blood, sneezing, or itching.

From dryness, I have a habit of smacking my mouth while I sleep.

When people eat in front of me, sometimes I'll babble when I try to talk to them.

I always feel the need to practise free-style martial arts. I made up my own katas and do them every day to music without thinking about it.

I twitch my head and lips everytime I see a cop.

Sometimes I argue with myself.

Gum? What's gross about that?
I love gum..

Oh yeah, I have to chew gum at some point of the day every day.

I've been washing my hands a lot more lately ever since my Microbiology class but then we did a lab to see if soap really got rid of bacteria but the bar soap actually gave you even more than liquid.
