our idiosyncrasies

#43
I'm afraid of one side of my body being bigger than the other, so I try to alternate which side of my body I do something with-example: if I use my right hand to get something out of the fridge, the next time I'll use my left.
I'm more comfortable outside, in complete darkness, than in my room in complete darkness.
I don't eat chocolate, pork, or any kind of crab or lobster etc.
I say "not really" way too often and it bugs me everytime.
My sense of humor is completely different around different people.
If someone says the word "tick", I have to feel behind my ears.

I feel really weird the more I think about this stuff.

I love chocolate and pork but WILL NOT do shellfish of any kind, if God put them on the bottom of the ocean in a hard shell we weren't meant to eat them YMMV.

- I need to sleep with either the TV or the radio on or else I won't be able to fall asleep.
- I cannot listen to music in the morning. It gives me major headaches.
- My pillow must be cold at all times.Therefore I flip it numerous times at night.
- I love malt liquor.
- I'm not attracted to women in dresses, but very attracted to women in jeans.
- I constantly have to fix crooked things.
- I strongly dislike unsymmetrical clothing with only a few exceptions.
- I have a bad habit or hiding the remote control.

This is all I can think of for now.

I cannot sleep in any clothing other than underwear. Also, if I try to sleep with socks, I can be in a 33*F room with no blanket and still break into a sweat.

I must also sleep with a fan on, 365 days a year.

I hate talking on the phone, yet I am obsessed with gadgetry, and cool phones (iphone=amazing)

If I think I have bad breath, I can't look the person I'm talking to in the eyes, and generally start talking quieter and away from the person

I have constantly had a watch on my wrist for about 15 years now. I don't take it off to sleep, shower, play a show, whatever.

Whenever I see someone riding their bike no handed, for some terrible reason, I want more than anything to see them fall over

I compuslively carry about 8 lbs. worth of stuff in my pockets every day, and feel uncomfortable without them (flashlight, wallet, keys, phone, lighter, change, pen, loose scraps of paper [for quick notes] knife, and about 1$ of change)

I can only drink water if it's ice cold. Cool, cold, and especially warm are simply not an option for me.

When I'm talking to people, I have a habit of wiping my upper lip a lot, causing them to think that they have something on their face. I've had a lot of people exasperatedly ask "OK OK! What's on my face??" and me being extremely confused.


That's about it... wow, I'm a mess.

Just reading that made me fidgety... I Can't overload my pockets, it drives me absolutely nuts. I keep my wallet in my right rear, my cigs/lighter in my right front, and my cellphone in my left front. My keys are dangling from a carabiner on my right front belt loop. In any situation where I'm sitting down I'll take everything besides my wallet out and set them on a table, or even in my lap if there is nowhere to put them.

I can't wear anything on my wrist or neck, sometimes a snug tee shirt bothers my neck.

For sleep, it has to be cold, and there has to be white noise. I grew up with a washer/dryer in my bedroom, so now I always have a powerful fan running, even if it's turned away from me.

I get lost in peoples eyes. It's nothing sexual, as I'm not even admiring their eyes. I just look people in the eye when they speak to me and I often times zone out while they talk. I try to look away every 10 seconds or so to break the daydream. It happens with both men and women.

I have intermittent OCD, sometimes everything has to be perfect and organized, and sometimes everything is a complete mess. I'm generally more comfortable in organized spaces though.

I have a bit of OCD

I have to take a shower before I go out of the house to do anything or else I feel weird and uncomfortable.

I don't like a noticeable amount of makeup on girls

I don't like dancing yet I wouldn't mind acting out at a gig (if I got one) or acting out otherwise.

Loose threads annoy me

I don't like much stuff in my pockets, having something in both annoys me.

I always enter a room and know where the exit is.
I hold my best conversations standing up and talking beside a person, or while laying naked in bed.
I do my best thinking on the toilet
I do my best reading on the toilet
I can't look at a large body of water without scanning it like a sprinkler
Sometimes my sarcasm is telling a person the straight honest truth with a smile. "Yes you are a maniacal bastard and I hate you."
I only date asian chicks
I don't like hanging out on the beach even though I surf, work there, and travel around the world visiting different beaches.
I enjoy public speaking.

Okay, after reading some of the post here it occurred to me that I am just as messed up as the next guy.

I am extremely paranoid about losing my keys. If they're not in my hand when leaving the house I'll check my pockets like five times. On the upside, I've never lost them or gotten locked out.

I also never leave the toaster plugged in when away from home. All the other electronic items, like the coffee maker, I'm fine with.

I'd probably have more, but I'm too lazy.

I despise vegetables and certain species of fungi.

I always am checking that I haven't lost my wallet/keys/phone. Sometimes while driving/on the phone I'll start freaking out as they aren't in the correct pocket.

I've been known to get pirecings out of boredom whether it was something I wanted before or not.

I have a phobia of needles that I'd best get over so I can get the job I'm going to school for. It was bad enough I'd pass out after vaccines/etc and even feel nauseous seeing them on TV.

I love terrible puns.

I CANNOT handle the sounds of people eating. It used to be noisey open mouth disgusting people, but its gotten so bad lately that Ihave problems eating in the same room as someone without lots of background noise. And its one of the few things that will make me irrationally snap at someone.

And, I plan things through far too much. I've usually got about three alternative options going for anything and am constantly shuffling things to make them work.

I seem brutally disorganized, but I rarely loose things (except while drunk)

Here are some others:

1) I can't stand people who talk too slow and for long periods (it drives me crazy)

2) I hate sitting in restaurants where they have chairs instead of booths

3)I haven't worn shorts for over 13 years but have worn skirts. I don't know why.
