Everyone has them what are some of your odd quirks?
My personal list:
1- I still will at the age of 22 ask for piggy back rides from some of my friends. I'm only 4'10" 160lbs so its very possible with some of my friends for me to get impromptu piggy back rides.
2- I require some form of light to sleep comfortably. Current light source is a bendy lamp on the other side of my bedroom angled so it doesn't give off too much light.
3- I only sleep with my light off when my gf is over the house. And I've been known to sleep with with my bendy lamp on even with her around.
4-Lesbian or not Orlando Bloom as legolas from lord of the rings is very pretty. To quote willow from buffy. "Hey! I'm gay not blind." I have no sexual interest in guys but pretty is pretty. And every time I watch that trilogy I think; " He's pretty, now tell me where I can find a female elf.
5-I love sewing and costuming.
6- I love swords, Daggers, and armor.
7- I love reptiles.
8- spiders are gross. Scorpions and horse shoe crabs aren't.
9- I grumbled the entire movie when they completely removed maharettes twin in queen of the damned. This can be applied when any book based movie is screwed with in a fundamental way.
10- I own a book of shakespears complete works including his plays, poems, sonnets, and will. Said book is looked at frequently. The book has 2,364 pages and I've read it cover to cover about one dozen times.

1. I eat quite systematically, always ending my meal with the thing I like best on the plate. I.e. if I'm having seafood pasta, the last thing I eat for that course will be probably squid.
2. If I find something I like to eat, I can eat it every single day for up to a month ^^;;
3. I sometimes space out when I'm eating. It's not because your company is boring, I just do that ...

5- mango is the most amazinbg tast on the planet to me.
6- I've been told that I pronounce words like ramadan perfectly. This was told to me by the parents of my best friend during sixth grade. It was only mentioned because it surprised them so much. Chances are its because I inherited the way my vocal cords are arranged from my mom since her mom came from a really long line a european jews. Some sounds in arabic/hebrew are produced exclusivy by a slight change in the way the vocul cords are arranged.

If a food has a sauce, it CAN NOT get that sauce on any vegetables.
My "getting-ready-in-the-morning" routine can NOT be interrupted or I feel all out of sorts for the day.
When bowling, I scare everyone because I do this little Hop before letting go of the ball!0 -
1. i started out a quiet and shy introvert in my childhood, became a loudmouth extrovert in my teens and 20s, and now in my 30s am back to quiet and shy.
2. i can not eat something that contains just one item/flavor/ingredient. all snacks and meals must contain a variety of textures and flavors and ingredients.

1. I have a texture obsession. As in, I love smooth things and I hate rough things. If I'm not controlling myself I'll start obsessively shaving my legs, sugar scrubbing my whole body, wearing only smooth clothes, compulsively touching smooth books, table tops, etc., and rough feeling things will make me want to throw up. It's gotten better as I've gotten older, but I still can't read a book with a rough cover and my lips are always smoooooth with chapstick
2. I will judge you hard based on two things. A) Whether or not you dance. I don't care if you're a good dancer or a terrible one, but if you refuse to dance at all I'm going to think you're a loser!
Whether or not you read the Harry Potter series. If you didn't for ANY reason, you're gonna bum me out.
3. I like kids better than adults.
4. I'm a secret sci/fi and fantasy fan. I'm not actually interested in most books/TV shows/movies that aren't magical and/or funny and/or sexy.0 -
1. I hate my food touching. I used to not be able to eat if it did but slowly, mostly because of how odd it looks to people, have calmed down about it... mostly.
2. I wash my hands three times each time I need to unless it's in front of co-workers, then I'll wash them for a super long time to make up for it.
3. When I'm not at work, I'm relaxed but at work I annoy my boss by being "unbending" because I just can't seem to bend rules or go blind when my department wants to.
4. When I think no one is looking, I'll "dance" at my desk to give myself some movement.0 -
I will postpone my hair washing if I run out of my conditioner or shampoo because my hair feels gross after using sulfates or silicones.
I list and research the products I want to try.
I have no problem spending time on twisiting my hair or braiding it in chunky braids because the affects both give is awesome.
I wear my curls as is a lot because I love my natural hair pattern.0 -
I am incredibly jumpy around loud noises
I have to eat my food clockwise around my plate, saving the main item for last, and making sure to take an even number of bites
I will tap a doorway with one hand as I walk through it to make sure I don't slam into it
I will randomly slip into an Irish accent (unintentionally) and have been asked on more than one occasion where I am from0 -
1. I am very scared of wide open spaces and rooms with really high ceilings.
2. I only eat one food item at a time on my plate.
You are the first person I have ever heard of who also is afraid of really high ceilings!!! The National Air and Space Museum is my worst nightmare. I also can't lie down outside and look up for too long without getting really freaked out.
Other than that, I don't mind touching raw meat, but I hate touching meat that's already been cooked if it hasn't been reheated.
-I hate frozen crumbs. Just thinking about them makes my skin feel weird.
-I sleep like I'm about to start a marathon.
-I have a pair of sneakers that I've owned since my sophomore year of high school. They've been to ten different countries.
-I don't like pizza?0 -

I often have the need to buy a dress/girl item and often come out of the mall with a men's shirt/shoe/tie........... O_O
I'm pretty sure i'm a metro man0 -
My normal clothes don't look that girly but the things I love and would get if I had more money are very at least top wise.0
-
I love tiny spaces and tiny homes. I would happily live in a studio or an RV! I really dislike living in a space bigger than 300 sq foot.
I feel weighed down by possessions and only try to own only things that I really need or love.
If I walk past a really beautiful tree, I HAVE to hug it, no matter who's around and watching lol.0 -
1. I hate my food touching. I used to not be able to eat if it did but slowly, mostly because of how odd it looks to people, have calmed down about it... mostly.
Funny, because I will eat all the way up to where the foods touch and then leave that part on my plate! Had a college classmate point this out to me - I never even thought about it before then!0 -
1. Can't stand the sound of other people eating to the point of rage
2. I eat anything ridiculously quickly (at least twice as fast as anyone I've ever met)
3. I like wearing jackets or coats because I feel less vulnerable than if I just wear a shirt when I go out
4. My sense of humor is mildly sadistic and extremely sarcastic and I find slapstick roll on the floor hilarious!
5. I find meeting with people (even friends and close friends) extremely awkward and I don't really know why...0 -
I always have my drinks, water included, with LOTS of ice.
I cannot drink anything out of a can or styrofoam.
I always rinse my cups out also...
I have to wear socks unless the floor is EXTREMELY clean. I will not go outside in bare feet. Even to the beach I wear water shoes. I will not wear shoes in the house, only socks.
yes, I am weird...0 -
When I go buy groceries if I see a can on the wrong shelf (mixed with corn for example) I move it to its right shelf. Or, if something is on the shelf crooked while everything else is straight I turn it the right way. I call it "Monk Syndrome" because it's something he might do on that show........lol0

Oh man, I go nuts when lights are left on too. Just a few days ago I removed two of the light bulbs in the wash room area of the bathroom because the first thing I see when I open my bedroom door are those hot, bright lights. It's a pain in the rear waking up to that in the middle of the night and you already have to adjust your eyes. There were three lights now there is only one. Unfortunately, that one light still gets left on from time to time.....arrrrggghhhh0 -
1. I write left handed but do almost everything else with my right.
2. I'm an awkward talker, meaning that if I'm speaking to someone I don't know well, I experience word vomit.
3. I love the taste of pickles but can't stand the texture of them. I will squeeze out the "juice" into a burger and discard the body.
4. I believe in reincarnation and truly feel I was a water creature in my previous life.
5. Can't see my own blood as I will pass out (and I'm a nurse, lol).
6. I am super organized at work but could care less at home.
7. I will eat things on my plate in order of least favorite to favorite.
8. Fold toast in half, eat the edges, and then eat the center.
9. When I see a bug in a pool, I always save them.
10. I put ice in my milk.0 -
1-I have a thing for lyrics. If the lyrics suck then not even an awesome beet can save a song for me.
2- I sleep with a stuffed pig my girlfriend gave me. I've even named him. His name is hubert.
3- my head of pencil and smaller sized curls is named belladonna.
4- despite romance s that writers add in I still see queer pairings. Ex; Frodo and sam from lord of the rings. I don't care if sam ends up with rose cotton. Sams devotion to frodo in the movie transends friendships that is on a brotherhood level. It has a soulmate like level and while friends can be soulmates there seems to be more going on with him. Frodo had to actually tell him to stay when he found out frodo was taking one of the last ships to the undying lands. And sam was married with kids when that happened. And for a more obvious pairing that they eventually gave up trying to hide? Xena and gabriel from xena warrior princess. Ok now I'm off my geeky soap box.
5- I have a katana with a false edge.
6- I put extra blankets and pillows on my gfs side of the bed when she isn't visiting. Its kinda like a nest that takes up space when I can't cuddle her.0 -
I have tryptophobia, which is a fear of things like honeycombs and the pattern in tripe.
My feet are size twelve, medium, which makes them great flippers.
I can't stand hearing the repetitive "music" from video games. I yell "MUTE!" all the time.
I paint along with Bob Ross, the happy tree painter. (www.mysanitymyart.wordpress.com)
You know that diet pill Alli? With the explosive ... Ahem ... Yeah. That happens to me when I eat anything with fats, grease or butter in it. I'm allergic to fats.
Right now I'm wearing a fake ponytail and it feels really sexy!0 -
I talked to myself when writting a story. How can someone write without hearing tyee way it sounds.0
