i have an aversion to phones and i also have an aversion to the sound of vacuum cleaners

i love chewing ice. it's awesome

i only wear green, brown, grey and black clothing. maybe about 2% of the clothes i own are not one of these colors.

i think cottage cheese w/ black pepper and pineapple chunks is one of the best treats ever.

when i'm at home when the mail comes, it's a really exciting moment in my day, even if i don't get anything. i think it's a pee-wee's playhouse thing.

I hate phones too, and I get pretty down if the mail brings NOTHING at all, in fact I usually mutter curse words to myself. I crack my wrists loudly without thinking, also alarming to other people, because it looks like I grab the wrist with the other hand and twist until it breaks.
TV makes me anxious, I won't watch it. I won't go into a room where the TV is blaring unless I have to.
I hate radio too
I feel like listening to music makes the time go too fast
which is why I usually only listen while driving, walking and cooking

i hate noise. if i don't know it's coming, i hate it. dogs barking, even something as small as a door squeaking can get on my last nerve if i'm not expecting it. music is fine. random noises are not.

i'm picky as hell.

coupla more:

i love the smell of vicks vap-o-rub/inhalers/mentholated whatever. LOVE IT.

the sound of flip-flops grosses me out.

I don't like visiting old people cause their tvs nearly kill me
lucky one of my grandmas is allergic to the set top box, so she and I sit and talk instead.

I have to pay close attention to my putting down my garage door, when I leave for work in the morning. Otherwise, I'll think I quite possibly left it up (no, I never have) and then I'll have to drive back past my house to make sure it's actually down.

The same applies to my oven. Now, ironically enough, I'm constantly leaving my iron plugged in (thank God for auto shut-off).

I chew the stubble under my bottom lip. It's maddening.

Back when I had longish hair, I constantly twisted certain areas.

I usually eat food in order, meat first.

I REALLY hate when the underside of my forearms get sticky. Sometimes if I'm having or ordering breakfast, I won't get pancakes or anything with syrup for fear of my arms getting sticky if a stray drop of syrup should happen to fall where I might rest them.

I can about go into a seizure if they've wiped down a table in a restaurant poorly and I sit down, rest my arms on the table, and there's a very thin glaze of something sticky.


Oh god.

now, I just remember.

* People tell me I do this gesture ---> a lot.
* I say "actually..." too much
* I blink slowly
* When I look left or right, I often turn my entire torso instead of just my head.
* I'm not a big fan of being touched
* I HATE having my body written on
* I SUPER HATE digestive sounds -- biting, chewing, saliva swishing around, swallowing, stomachs churning, belching, farting... I've insulted my family by either refusing to eat with them or requiring that there be background noise
* Neat freak here
* I must have a beverage and my inhaler at my bedside
* I'm developing some sick thing about Banana Republic. In the past year, I've given away tons of my clothing to charity and replaced them with the exact same crap... but from Banana Republic.

I think I may have Asperger Syndrome.

i think i've posted these before but

- when washing silverware i start washing knives, then move on to forks and lastly spoons. 2 or 3 at a time. i get annoyed if i find a stray fork in the sink after i washed the others.

- when slightly bored or nervous i will occasionally play with the hair on the top of my head, feeling out for the coarsest, kinkiest hair. if i find a really good one i will yank it and seek out another.

- when falling asleep i will often find myself on my stomach with my right foot rhythmically caressing the sheets. i guess it soothes me.

I only like to sit face forward on the subway- I have a near panic attack if I have to sit backwards...it only lasts for 3 seconds or so, but still

I also don't like to sit on the isle at movie theatres...I wanted to be safely ensconced within people...

...and my side of the bed has to be away from the door of the bedroom...it keeps me further away from the Boogey Man/Woman

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

OMG I do that too

I also can't sleep with my closet doors wide open

I eat all the toppings off my pizza first and then eat the crust. It's an old habit I have from my eating disorder days.

evenstar said:

I do that too. My best friend makes fun of me because I will turn that stereo down when even the slightest problem arises.

I have to have my iTunes PERFECT.

Like the right name, capitals in the right place, has to have the album name, artwork, my personal rating, the right year.

I'm not obsessive like this with ANYTHING else in my life but damn, if something's even a little wrong on iTunes, it pisses me off big time.

- I hate mouth noises, like when someone's talking then they stop and you hear their saliva, sometimes I stop focusing on what they're saying because of it.

- I can never just SIT in a chair, I always have weird positions. Especially at the cinemas, I'll be contorted like a pretzel by the time the movie's done.

- Oh and a movie viewing isn't the same unless I eat salt and vinegar chips through it

- For some reason when I type, my thumb is always touching my index finger.

- Always have to have lip balm on or at least be drinking something so my lips don't dry up.

- I walk really slowly if I have a knife in my hand because I feel like I'm gonna drop it or slash someone accidentally

- My foot is always moving whenever I'm sitting down...like right now.

- I say "cool" ALL.THE.TIME.

- I wanna smack people who say "like" too much. "You know how like, you like, do this and like" GAAAH!

- I've always wondered how whenever we talk about saying something we say "So then she's like "you idiot!". How is she LIKE that when that's what she's saying? But I say that too

- I taught myself to touch type and I can only do it in that style, the "proper" way hurts my hands. Same with handwriting.

Me too!


Except that I haven't rated any of my music and I'm sure not every song has the correct year but otherwise, yea, gotta have the correct name and capital letters. I hate when song titles are not capitalized properly.
HATE.












Fucking hate it.

I had the song Check On It on there and the "On" was spelt "on". It drove me CRAZY!

purplesweat said:

I was just listening to a song on my iPod and noticed "I've" spelled "I'Ve", oooh, I had to go open iTunes and fix that shit

Took me awhile to go through the spelling of all the songs I got on there (7327, at the moment), and I think there are still a couple of songs I've missed but I'm working on it

Oh and, yesterday I put The Manhattans 'There's No Me Without You/That's How Much I Love You' album on iTunes and the 'default' spelling that iTunes found on Gracenote (or whatever it is) was "There's No Mean Without You"
I was like "WTF?!?!"

EDIT: *Gracenote*

I cannot stand to have my feet touched at all by others.

I am sure there's more....

We have iPod OCD or something

I put Snoop`s Sensual Seduction on there ages ago and I was SO pissed that there was no album cover yet.
