our idiosyncrasies

I am über-untidy

I run screaming even the smallest dog in the world is running to me.

ı drink almost everynight,I'm having a hard time right now,I didn't have anything tonight.

I have sleeping problem and do nothing about it.

I screwed up in highschool,I still screw up at university.

Due to my injuries I shouldn't play bass for a while,but I do.:bassist:

I am smart,but very lazy.
 
- I too drive my moms auto like a manual, but drive my brothers manual more often.
- Plaid skirts are really really hot.
- I can't wear colour comfortably, I like black.
- I can't drive with my right hand, but I am right handed.
- I can't sleep without noise. Silence makes me very angry.
- My room and desk are very very messy, but I don't have any trouble locating anything.
- Sports generally don't interest me.
- I don't like makeup on a girl, maybe a slight amount, but that's it.
- I can't fall asleep on my right side, but I always wake up on my right side.
 
I really like lime green.

Anything green.

-When I am on stage I HAVE to be on the left, otherwise it freaks me out.

-When I am in bed with someone i have to be on the right side.

-I always curl my toes inside my shoes.

-I often believe that what I want will just come to me.

-I very rarely where a t-shirt unless i have to.

-When I get too angry I collapse and by the time I come to I have calmed down.

-Due to my eye problem i have gotten used to wearing my sunglasses all the time, even if i am inside or it is not sunny in the slightest.

-When I do something that I feel might have effected my voice i either sing "Hello!" or the first line of The Ballad Of Sweeney Todd

-I cannot sleep if the TV is on stand-bye.

-I cannot sleep unless i am listening to Classic.FM, even then i can hardly sleep.

-I am generally atracted to really mean girls.

-I cannot go out unless my parting is PERFECT!!

-I always wipe my feet on a door mat, even if I am leaving someones house.

I think that is most of them!
 
-i have 5 alarm clocks (that includes the one in the cell phone) and set 4 of them for different times.

-i also say "DUDE" way too much

-I curse way too much

-I love Copenhagen snuff but almost vomit from the smell of a fresh tin

-i randomly put items (usually on bass stuff) on layaway

-i'm a slave to the tv and have no life...

-i don't like shorts unless i'm playing a sport of some kind
 
I must shower/shampoo every morning, or I feel strangely all day.

I cannot wear any article of clothing (except shoes) two days in a row.

I must sleep in a T-shirt.

I must wear a wristwatch during all waking hours.

I type like I play bass - four fingers on my left hand, and only the index and middle on my right. I "slap" the space bar with my right thumb. This is actually stranger than it seems, as I learned to type long before I learned to play bass. :confused:

Right sock always goes on first, but left shoe always goes on first.

I always put on my shirt before putting on my pants.

I can write forward with my right hand, and its mirror image with my left hand simultaneously.
 
I cannot watch tv with the lights off, anything else would mean I have a problem :D
I cannot watch TV with the lights on.

It takes me 2 to 4 hours for me to go to bed once I decide I'm going to go to bed. For example; tonight (or this morning) I am still awake and its almost 5am.

I sometimes sleep in more than 12 hours of sleep.

I can't sleep if the room temperature is above 21 degrees Celcius. I also flip my pillow over to have the cold side of it before I can fall asleep.

I can't think of any more right now because I'm becoming tired, but I am sure there are dozens more.

I must wear a wristwatch during all waking hours.

Right sock always goes on first, but left shoe always goes on first.

Same here.
 
OK, I posted some of this before, then lost my nerve and chickened out. But with so many other eccentrics around I'm encouraged to play again:

- I'm a musician, but hardly ever listen to music at home unless it's something I want to learn.
- I have low self-esteem and am afraid to look directly at people.
- I wear Birkenstock sandals around the house, but usually only one, left or right. Used to drive my wife nuts.
- Since my divorce I never really go to bed anymore, just kind of crash fully clothed. I keep no hours.
- I'm averse to throwing things away, even if they're useless. My apartment is full of junk.
- I've never owned a color TV set. Had an old B/W one long ago, but got rid of it and gave up watching for good.
- I can't bring myself to answer my cell phone if the call is from a number not in my book (paranoia).
- I can read even the smallest print by pressing my left pinky lightly against the inner corner of my left eye.
- I won't knowingly consume any foodstuffs that contain aspartame, MSG or azo coloring agents.
- I have periods of eating the same kind of food every day for weeks.
- Although I smoke a corncob pipe I buy cigarettes to disassemble into the bowl.
- I like to buy a bunch of PC mags and sit alone at the back of the pub reading through them, not talking to anybody.
- I get bugged by misspellings and ugly bitmaps in the software I use, and always hack them with a resource editor.
