Thread: tell me a few odd things about yourself.

When I eat spaghetti o's and meatballs, I eat the spaghetti o's separate from the meatballs, then eat all the meatballs at once.

Every single time I ride in a car, I always bob my head to try and match the line in the road to when they reach the corner of the windshield. Or the middle of the windshield wipers. I have no idea how I developed this habit, people just think I'm bobbing my head to the music, but they don't even know...

I get these random bouts of "everything orange is amazing!!!!" They come randomly and it's only ever with the colour orange.

I get stuck on certain words when people speak for a long time and focus on writing them in my head and spelling them out. It gets so bad that I forget to listen to what they're on about.

I leave half empty bottles of water everywhere around my house, on my desk, on the couch, in the kitchen, bedroom, and even bathroom. Just in case I get thirsty. I'm like that kid on that movie Signs with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix... at least I'll be protected from aliens.

Swing away, Burns, swing away.

That's right!

If I'm hanging around in the basement in my parents' house, I cover up the mirror on the wall. And usually before going into the bathroom, I reach around and turn on the lights before stepping through the doorway. I have some sort of mirror phobia. It's quite strange.

I frequently do a quick nose flare just out of habit. Sometimes I wink for no reason. I will do a really quick flex and release of just my biceps for no reason. I keep everything else of my arm relaxed. I don't bend my arm at all. I just keep them straight when I do it. Sometimes I have to do a partial skip for one step while walking. Sometimes I bend my left leg so I kick my butt. I usually try to make sure no one is watching.

Sometimes when there's a girl I like enough to imagine being with her, I fantasize about it. I know that's not weird, but I usually don't fantasize about having sex with her and whatnot. I try to keep them as realistic as possible. Usually I just fantasize about talking with her, about what things we'd say back and forth, about what I'd want her to say in response to me. Usually I fantasize about being there for her when she's sad or hurt or in need of someone. When holding my pillow and pretending it is her, I usually do the opposite. I usually pretend the pillow is me and I'm her. I think that's kinda weird, but it seems much more enjoyable that way.

Idec, I've done the same thing from time to time. I've thought about times where I can be there for a friend when they need someone, a shoulder to cry on, or giving them helpful advice. Also, when I'm sitting on a couch watching a movie, I wish there was *cough* someone sitting next to me. I've always had a vivid imagination, though, so I, in general, have a habit of running through scenarios in my head... usually when I'm angry. I go over what I'd say to them to counter their arguements... but I never seem to say what I'd planned for whatever reason.

I also used to be obsessed with symmetry, more so with the steps I took. I'd count my steps and it'd have to be an even number before I entered a room or sat down. I finally got so tired of it that I had to force myself to not pay attention.

I have a few peculiarities when it comes to food, especially pancakes/waffles. If it's pancakes, I have to butter each one separately and put syrup over each one before I stack them. If it's waffles, syrup or whatever's on it/them (syrup, strawberries, peaches, peanut butter) has to be available in every bite. With muffins, if I'm having butter on them, I usually eat the top first, and with every bite I put a little bit of butter on that piece rather than just over the whole thing. I cut off little pieces... unless I'm in a hurry.

I also have to keep earrings separate from each other. One earring is meant for the left ear, and one is meant for the right, and it seriously bugs me if they get mixed up.

I have a pellet gun wound-sized dent in my forehead. (a scab I picked at age 5, which is with me until the day I die)

I hate pickles, mustard, and mashed potatoes. (all things I liked as a child)

I go to the bathroom like clockwork (like at about 3:30 I have to pee, etc) and can accurately predict when I'll go to the bathroom next.

Yes, exactly! I do that exact same thing! Plan on what I'll say to each of the things they say! And they never say what I think they will!

While driving, I'd sometimes pretend that *she* is sitting next to me and I'm holding her hand. I even made myself get good at driving with my left hand so that when I got a girlfriend, I could easily hold her hand. I'm so silly.

EDIT: For the rest of your's Ame, I say that's awesome. It seriously makes me want to hang out with you.
