I mean quirky stuff, so perverts back off.

Example, when people leave my house i try to pratice singing and playing at the same time with songs. I also sprint up and down the steps when i need to get stuff and occasionally make random noises.

Anybody else do stupid stuff?

I spend a lot of time playing with my instrument - usually walking around the house. When other people are home, that activity is usually done while sitting on my bed with the door closed.

This is when I actually do most of my rehearsing. When the family is at home it seems I'm constantly getting interrupted by the kids or the wife.

I talk to my dog. It's OK though, cause she never claims that she's Jesus.

Home alone? Pfft. I get out of the house and either go surfing, play golf. If it's night time I drink beer, play bass, wii, or hone in different sounds with my pedal board.

Crank the bass or guitar.

Really the only time I "practice" is when no-one's home. I don't like bothering the wife and kids- plus I know that my vocals are audible from the basement- so if I'm playing along with a song- they'll hear pieces and parts of the recording, but hear what I'm playing and singing well. Hearing backup and harmony vocals isolated sounds... dumb.

I like to snuggle up to my invisible pet snuffolufogus. I named him "snuffies". It makes for a good lonely night.
