Oh my goodness, me too!

And then, when I'm in the shower, I always have to have the door locked, not because I'm afraid my father would come in, mostly cuz I'm afraid someone would break in and kill me or something. I frequently check the bathroom out when I'm bathing.

I don't like to let my feet dangle down from my bed, for fear something might grab me. I also won't reach into any area that doesn't have direct light on it...Like, if something fell between my bedside table and the wall. I'm always afraid some giant spider is going to bite me.

I sleep curled up in a little ball, and my brother always made fun of me for it.

I can't stand to go a whole day without bathing, and I can't stand wearing clothes again without a wash in between. I do laundry 2-3 times a week.

I dunno, maybe it's not too odd, but it was all I could think of right off.

i also can't sleep with my closet door open (leftover childhood fear of "the closet monster" perhaps)...when i get dressed i absolutely MUST put my socks on first...my favorite snack it peanut butter and bananas on toast(i personally don't find that a strange combo at all) and everytime i concentrate on something i stick out my tongue (oral fetish maybe???)
am i just strange?




'u don't have 2 b beautiful 2 turn me on...'

Me too!!! I hate having my feet out from under the covers too. They have to be covered up because something from under the bed might grab them if they aren't covered. lol

Do you literally not eat ANYTHING that you've cooked, or do you nibble here and there while cooking the food, and just don't sit down with a plate because you're not that hungry anymore? If that's the case, I think that's more common than you realize.

AzureStar said:

She gets totally naked before eating some other things too...

come on you guys...you call that strange?

I sometimes sleep with my eyes open!!!
how's that for weird?

I like things to be neat. I like my books to be arranged on the shelf according to topic. I like my mousemat to be parallel with my keyboard and the keyboard to be parallel with the base of the monitor. It annoys me to see pictures that aren't at an angle which pleases me. When I see a car do a nice parallel parking, it gives the same satisfaction as when I get a lovely 4-row bonus playing Tetris. Also I tell jokes to make myself laugh - if anyone else finds it funny then it's a bonus.

Also, I clean my sneakers / trainers / whatever you call em with a soft toothbrush, dedicated to the purpose.

Do I win?

sleep naked ~AND~ walk in my sleep. That freaks people the fuck out, let me tell you.

Also like to run really fast naked from the bathroom to the bedroom and crash onto the bed just for fun. That's not so strange though.

I do that too...Mostly only with my marching shoes though. They have to be all spotless. But I can't stand for my shoes to be dirty. The marching shoes, however, are the best looking shoes in RCHS Band, I'll tell you. I take a washcloth to them, and then usually, rather than a toothbrush, damp q-tips to get down on the edges and so on. They stay shiney!

You lot are all weird!

I love you guys! Ian, my keyboard and mousepad are all parallel as well... I did that with EVERYTHING when I was a kid. My room was the cleanest and so were all my friends'- I cleaned their rooms for them.

These days, I like to take my $400.00 megaphone and get in the car with my three best friends and weird music- Dexy's Midnight Runners, Men Witout Hats, etc. We blast it. Dude, for hours at night, we'll cruise up and down the streets of the city screaming obscenities at senior citizens, crackheads, and whomever else occupying the sidewalks, bars, and markets. I'll scream "PENIS!", "VAS DEFERENS!", "SEX", "RICHARD SIMMONS", and other various outbursts. Sometimes we videotape the reactions... even more daring when we're tipsy or really bored, we'll go on foot downtown and holler at groups, pretend we're filming an infomercial for weird products, and other stuff. People will go along with anything when they're on camera- they get so nervous, they forget what does and doesn't make sense! I LOVE IT!

I get a lot of enjoyment out of memorization of random facts and making countless lists, even if they are repeated lists. When I was little I would make lists of numbers corresponding with various colors, my favorite number being written with my favorite color, etc.

I absolutely MUST have a pillow between my knees and another between my feet when I sleep. They simply cannot touch!

I have a least favorite word.

I used to be really obsessive compulsive. If I would accidentally bump something with my right arm, I would have to bump in with my left arm, then my left arm again and then my right arm, so that the average number time that I hit it with each arm was 2.5.

I absolutely detest chocolate, whipped cream, fudge, butterscotch, marshmallows, peanut butter and caramel. I love spinach.

I used to park in the spot furthest from the store so that I could run to the store and run back to my car from the store.

I memorized the alphabet forwards and backwards when I was two, but was not potty-trained until age 4.

I used to read the encyclopedia for fun and make my own reports.

TRON said:

Hey TRON, don't they have a wildlife rehabilitation center in your city?

I volunteered for one in my hometown over the summer. We had mostly baby birds, but sometimes raccoons and squirrels, etc. It was completely volunteer-run, non-profit, and all of the animals were ones the public had brought in. We would care for them free of charge.

Moonbeam said:

I never made reports of it, but reading the encyclopedia is nice...I just did it to get facts. I like to read the dictionary sometimes, as well, to increase my vocabulary a bit.

We also mustn't forget our mutual love of maps.

I hate chocolate too, Moonbeam!

I cannot sleep without a nightlight if I'm by myself. I've had the same nightlight since I was a tiny baby.

Any kind of noise disturbs me while I'm trying to sleep, so I always wear earplugs.

I put mascara on before I use eyeliner/eyeshadow.

I ALWAYS wash my feet before I go to bed.

I'm very obsessive about my eyebrows. I pluck them everyday and will spend hours trying to make them even (this is actually kinda fun!)

I use four kinds of soap while showering... and this doesn't include shampoo.

I never EVER wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I also do not throw up, even if I want to because I'm sick. The last time I puked was probably over ten years ago.

Oh, and I have to sleep with underwear on. Even if that means nothing else.

INSATIABLE said:

I think we have a winner! Man, you gotta put those video clips on the web!

Natsume said:

How do you prevent yourself from doing so... I mean if you really, really have to throw up?

AzureStar said:

I just never really HAVE to throw up. I will feel yucky and sick to my stomach (usually from an excess intake of alcohol) but I just never CAN throw up. Even if I stick my fingers down my throat.

I think it may be because I just hate it so darn much, I just prevent myself from doing it without knowing. Sometimes it sucks, though!

Another thing for me is that I never sleep through a full night. I usually wake up between 3 and 10 times in the course of a night. The last night I slept all the way through was...goodness...over a year ago, I believe. It was such a landmark thing that I told my brother about it!

Natsume said:

I probably puke 2-3 times a month from sinus problems. It doesn't so much bother me though, I'v ebeen doing it all my life. I just puke and go about my business. Sick, I know.

Know what? These habits aren't all that weird.

Like Azure, I'm very particular about meat I eat and often leave half of it on my plate.

Like a few others, I'm deathly afraid of spiders. (Although not all insects. Bees don't frighten me at all.)

Like Battier and Moonbeam I used to read encyclopedias and dictionaries, just for fun. (In fact, I still do from time to time...)

Like Natsume, I can be obsessive about tweezing my eyebrows. (And yes, I think it's lots of fun too!)

And like Insatiable, I've been known to go out with a girlfriend of mine and videotape strangers, telling them we were using it for some thing or another. (OK, we only did it a few times and it was years ago, but MAN was it a hoot! I think we used to tell people we were from Sassy magazine. For some reason we found that hilarious.)

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

Thank goodness you didn't mention the corn!

Natsume said:

One of the vets at my clinic actually handled this so I just trusted that she'd do the right thing. Since then, I've moved closer to Detroit and I don't know of any rehabilitation clinics yet. I need to find one though cuz there's already been an instance where I could've used their help. I ended up having to travel an hour to take this injured seagull to a specialist. It was ridiculous. And then I found out she just put it to sleep! That's wonderful that you were part of such a thing. I respect anyone who has that kind of heart for animals. You rock Nat!

CarrieMpls said:

No one can even compare to my obsessiveness with them! It's scary. And it's everyday.

not strong enough

TRON said:

That was horrible! That poor bird. It was kind of fun having a seagull in the car for an hour, though.

TRON said:

Awww... thanks Tron!

I have two people living inside of me, including a person that I created when I was 7 years old. That's who I am now, I think.

No wait, that was Prince on Oprah. Damn I'm sure I do lots of weird stuff, but I just can't think of it right now.

Oh, also, I want to marry Laurence Fishburne!
