okay, fine. i feel bad that nobody is posting on zippy the pinhead's thread. so:

* i pace whenever i'm on the phone. i pace like mad.
* i have to sleep with one leg outside of the covers, always.
* i keep all the clocks in my apartment unsynchronized, so i don't have a specific idea of what time it is, but i have a general idea.
* i post on althom's threads.

I don't think i have any strange hobbits

What about these ones?

As a kid I used to count my steps. Between 2 houses, from the telly to the couch and so on. A was constantly counting, to the point that I didn't pay much attention to what others were saying. When a distance was done, I prefered stopping on my right foot, if I did it on the left it felt 'unfinished' in a way... I used to do this a lot, now I do it less, but once in a while it just happens that I find myself counting again and trying to end on the right foot
I try to stop it cause it can cause a terrible tension in my head.

I do the singing thing too.

I know so many songs that if someone says a sentence in English, very often I can immediately sing a song that resembles that sentence.

It spooks people all of the time. At my previous job it was a sport; make Herman sing a song about THIS.

LoL

I also love to sing songs, then scramble the text into something that fits the mood ar make it really, really rowdy.

Like today I was half listening to two colleagues while working and heard the word guinea-pig.
After which I started singing "My guinea-pig died, my guinea-pig died. Threw it in the pan and now it's fried."

One colleague looked rather shocked and then he said; yes, it did, last night. For real.

OOOOOps.

I'm curious if you guys have any habits you might think are a little strange OR if you've dated someone that had strange habits?

I have a few habits.....I wouldn't call them strange, but someone pointed them out to me and now I'm thinking they might be.
When I'm thinking about something, I tend to make a little whistle noise with my lips. I don't even realise I'm doing it sometimes until people look at me strangely.
Oh!! Another thing I do is talk with my hands. Even when I'm on the phone!! I'm not even Italian....and there I am waving my hands around like a fool!
One girl, I dated, used to talk in her sleep. Most of the time it was just a lot of mumbeling, but every now and then she'd clearly ask me questions in her sleep! It got to the point where I could ask her things and she'd answer back!

So.....how about you guys!

I get to attach to people
I eat gummy bears in twos...and other small objects such as m&ms skittles etc.
I flush the toilet twice everytime I go.
I have the same routine before I get into the shower...and I HAVE to do it.
I don't buy the first thing I touch it has to be the one behind it...maybe two or three behind it. Depends how I feel when I touch it.
I refuse to use bathrooms in other peoples homes.
I don't like people in my BUBBLE....in my space in my area.
I don't like people using my stuff and touching it..they got germs.
I have to sleep with this old bear I got...
I do things in square...everything arranged in squares..its hard to explain..

those are all for now..

When eating Skittles or M&M's, I can't eat them right out of the bag. I have to separate them into equal amounts, according to color, the ones left over have to be eaten first, then I can eat one out of each group until they're gone. I don't know why.

sometimes I drink too much

I do those two things in bold above too. When I'm in a store, I tend to grab the item that is waaay in the back on the shelf, because I think to myself, "That one has not been touched as much as the others." I get that from my mom, she does the exact same thing!

I tend to start converations and people have no idea what I am talking about. That's because I had started the conversation in my head already. Or even if the person I am talking to has NO idea or reference abotu what I am saying...I still keep talking about it. Oh and I swap topics so much I usually have to preceed what I say with "different Subject".
