What makes you weird?

So? What makes you weird? I'm sure we all have stories that could get us insta-banned but let's keep it PG-13, shall we ?

-I have been known to skip randomly

-I have been known to squeal with glee randomly

-I turn my car off to the beat of the music (lights off, parking brake, shift into park, remove key)

-I like girls that are taller than me

Your turn! I'm sure I'll think of more later

You look like a squealer.

You'd be better off if I got my wife or one of my lifelong friends to answer this question. I don't think I'm weird at all.

Define normal, and I'll tell you why I'm "weird".

I'm honest, not because I think its the right thing to do, but because I just dont care what people think at all.

I'm quite introverted, and I enjoy being 'inside myself'. I enjoy time with my thoughts, reading, playing music, noodling around on the computer, things that have little or nothing to do with talking to other people. Therefor, I never really bothered learning how to 'properly socialize' with folks, and unless I've known you for long enough (on a regular basis) and am comfortable enough around you, conversation will be slow and awkward. I feel like I'm acting much of the time.

So...What makes me weird (to other people. I find myself to be quite normal) would be I'm 'too quiet'. The fact that my neutral face looks somewhat angry doesn't help a lot.

-On top of that, I'm normally always tapping a beat to something (there's always musical gears griding in my head, always).

-I like older women (I'm quite happy that my girlfriend is 3 months older than me)

-I suppose the fact that I have mild Tourettes Syndrome might add to a bit of 'weirdness'. If anything, it's like Tick Syndrome, but I've managed to get it under control since elementary. ...I once told a guy (quite loudly, I might add) in a mall to 'shut his ____ing mouth, or I'll shut it for him' because he was making fun of a kid (a KID!) with Down Syndrome. I know how it feels to have people stare at you and make fun of you, and I won't put up with people doing it to others.

There's probably more, but I can't think of any right now.

Man, you described me better than I could ever hope to describe myself. I don't even have anything to add at this point, you summed it all up.

The fact I have 'hair like a blonde Einstein', the fact I a bit awkward around people I don't know, the fact I laugh far too loud and the fact I am ALWAYS tapping some drum rhythm on a table makes me weird.

If by "Weird" you mean, not like a vast majority of the 17-22 year old population, then there are so many reasons that I could not even begin to list them.

I dunno why, I just turned out like this

Pssh, go for it! You don't have to list them all ! I'm sure most of us could type pages on our weirdness .

I can't burp.

If you stick a Q-tip in my right ear, I have an uncontrollable coughing fit.

My farts are always silent. Without fail.

I have red hair

I'm 6'3" and dating a girl that is 5'2"-ish. And like it!

I wake up at 5:23am for school

I love the smell of a room where someone has burnt a lot of very strong incense.

I put a trem block in my strat.

My bass face makes it look like I'm going to murder someone.

I can cook fairly well.

I can name just about any bird in Europe.

I get on with my techers better than I do with the rest of my Grade.

Winston Churchill, Aragorn, Bon Scott and Concorde all share wallspace with GTA and Star Wars V in my room.

Besides that, I'm just a little odd.

My own unique sense of "style"
i say turnt instead of turned

interesting side note here. the last band i was in played metalcore. our drummer was 16 and still in highschool. He's very popular. One day i turnt =) to him and said "wait a minute, you play and listen to metalcore and deathcore and your popular?" he said yep i said "and ur friends know you listen to metalcore?" he again said yep. so i'm 9 years older than him and when i was in highschool you were an outcast for listening to metal, got made fun of and such..

just found it interesting.
