Title: Odd Habits
Post by: nicole on June 11, 2003, 10:01:13 am
What is your odd habit?

1. When I'm going up or down stairs, I count them.
2. I think people look like their avatars or sigs.
3. I cut my toenails really short.

then I listen to the pronounciation of words

1. When I'm going up or down stairs, I count them.

I do something kinda similar and without really thinking about it. I tend to take stairs two steps at a time and I somehow always make a mental note of how to ensure that I always land with my right foot at the top every time .. and I always stick to that pattern from then on ..

I know .. I'm weird .. there are other, more strange habits ..

But I'm obssesive / compulsive so I'm allowed =)

Another one..

Last year I went through a stange phase. When walking past things I had to look behind me over my shoulder and look at the other side of them. It's like I had to make sure they weren't two dimensional or something. This included houses, cars, people, trees.. most things. Was a bizarre compulsive thing.

Post by: Jamielee on June 11, 2003, 03:38:22 pm
*I count stairs when I walk up or down them
*When I see signs with numbers on them I add them. Mainly when I am drving. Like Exit 78 I'll add 7+8. This really gets on my nerves but I can't stop myself from doing it!
*I eat the crust off of whatever I am eating first. Pop Tarts, Hamburgers, sandwiches.
That is all I can think of............

Whenever I'm going down the street -- any street -- I look for the letter "O" on license plates.

With the exception of personalized and government plates, there are none with "O" on them. Or are there ...

i can't sleep unless the fan is running.  No music or the tv, it can only be the fan.  And I also count stairs, that seems to be a popular one among us.  When I go on rounds of my residence hall when I'm on duty I always have to carry my keys with me, even though I don't go to my room.  And i drink at least 2 diet cokes a day!

I don't usually count steps, but I almost always notice whether the number of them is odd or even because steps are usually so small that I take them two at a time.

I have this habit of using my parking brake to help make sharp turns, especially when I'm going 70 on the highway when I get to the turnoff.

When I was really young, I had the habit of having to do on the other side whatever was just done on the one side.

I also have a habit of speaking in an odd accent when I'm thinking.

Oh, and just so you know, I also often flatten out the top of my rice, potatos, beans, and other stuff like that.

Amanda, have you noticed the billboard about the Outhouse Springs? Man, those are the funniest things to read... God... And yeah, it's a real drink.. And yeah, it's real recycled toilet water...... And yes, it's funny...
 I have a habit of always having a "hahahaha" or "lol" with every sentence I write in IMs... I'm sure some of you have noticed that... Oh yeah, and the many periods thing after every sentence.... Umm, when I was younger I practically lived in hospitals and when I got bored in them I'd always count for as long as possible until I couldn't stop anymore and I'd almost tear my hair out because it was annoying.. So, it's kinda become a habit and I still do it now, lol... I also have a habit of rubbing my face, lol.. I don't know what that's about... My stepdad does it too.. hahahahaha.. and I also have a habit of slapping my legs in different patterns and everything, haha.. And everyday before I turn on the water in the shower, I run my fingers behind my ears about a dozen times to make sure I took my hearing aids off... They don't just pop right back into your ears, lol.. And because I was in tap class for a year, I have a habit of doing little tap moves while sitting down..

I always notice if there are an even number or odd number on steps...

I count out the cards as someone deals them... If it doesn't land out on 52 I know someones trying to pull a fast one... or I just miscounted, :).

I have this strange habit of always dialing the area code whenever I call someone local...

Oh wait, I HAVE to do that.

When I get bored, I roll my tongue around in my mouth along the back of my front teeth without even realizing it... I only know because someone pointed it out to me once.

I twist my hair and then tie it in a loop knot.

I pick at small things until it becomes a scar. (or at least so says my dermatologist... ) ha ha ha

I talk to animals, but they don't talk back. No, I'm not Doctor Dolittle!

I stare into space. Its at this point in time that I'm paying the most attention to you. No really. I mean it.

1. I tap my fingers in order to the syllables in songs.

2.I put my toe on the floor on the left foot, and on the right foot i put the heel down and then i try and change them. So the left foot has the heel on the ground and the right foot has the toe on the ground.

3. In the mornings i pour myself a glass of cold orange juice and put it on my eyes because its all cold!

4.I am always making up dances, if i am in a situation where i can't i make them up in my head to whatever song is on my mind.

5. I went through a stage where i had to touch everything or even bite it, like pieces of metal! weeeeeird. :crazyeyes:

2. I lurk quite alot
3. I have a tendancy to just play the "A Thousand Miles" riff on anything with my fingers.
4. I tend to procrasinate(dunno if that is the right spelling)
5. When im confused i pretend to know what im confused about. :?
6. If I get into an uncomfortable situation then i yawn
7. Ill do anything to get what I want.
8. I like to take pictures of everything from money to remote controls.LOL
9. If I'm watching the music channels with my friends and a song comes on that they like and I hate it, I will change it and moan when they change it when a song comes on that I like and they hate.

Did I already reply to this thread?

O_o

Anyway, I don't feel like looking.

1. I pop my knuckles.
2. I bite my nails when I get nervous.
3. I'm double jointed in my back, and I can make my shoulder blades pop out really far, and I'm currently in a phase where, when I pick something up, I make my shoulder blades go out.
4. I pop my jaw bone. Like, I'll ust be standing there, and, especially when I'm bored, I'll just start popping it. People are always like "What are you doing? O_o"
5. I play the drums on the closest piece of furniture when I listen to music.
6. For softball, I've begun to do this thing with my hands where they look all retarded and stuff. I pop my wrist bones and stretch out my hand, but in order to do that, I have to move my hand - JUST MY HAND - back and forth for a few minutes. It's so weird.
7. When I pick up a guitar, I automatically put my fingers on the first 3 strings, in the 9th fret, and I just strum. Strange.
8. I always notice grammatical errors. I always fixate on them when people are trying to speak to me and they make one. Like, it goes "Cece, just between you and I . . ." and I hear nothing beyond that.
9. I flex my leg muscles to the point where they start to hurt. Then I have to stand up until they stop hurting. I don't know why I do that.
10. I always grab onto the right railing on steps, if there's a choice. If not, I don't grab onto the railing.

oh my i have so many of these. im sure i am obsessive/compulsive, but its fun hehe

1. ok this is probably the most worrying. i study spanish and french, and every word that comes out of my mouth, i translate into french/spanish in my head. even right now i'm translating what i'm typing. i even do it with song lyrics whilst im listening to a song..i thought it was jst me until yesterday when my fellow french/spanish student told me she does it as well. we were both so relieved hehe, or maybe it just means we're both mad??

2. whenever i leave the house i have to go straight back home to check my front door is shut properly and my dog is safe hehe.  it makes me late everywhere.

3. when im listening to a cd i imagine the notes on the piano, like trying to work out the song and the notes, except im not home/ at the piano.

4. when im bored, or waiting for someone, i watch strangers going about their business and wonder what they must be like, imagining peoples lives is so fascinating.

5. i do ballet, and i practice dance steps under the table when im sat down.

:oops: im officially odd
Title: Odd Habits
Post by: icebox13 on June 20, 2003, 09:24:06 am
1. i always sleep on the right side of the bed even though my bed is queen sized.
2. i turn off the phone whenever i get out of the house.
3. i always play ATM on the piano first before playing anything else.
4. the G chord is always my first chord when i grab a guitar.
5. i become annoyingly irritable when i something breaks down and i can't fix it right away.
6. i sleep on my tummy with my head on the foot of the bed; i wake up on my back with my head on the head of my bed...
7. i cross my legs whenever i sit, no matter what clothes i have on...
8. the first thing i notice in a person is his shoes...
9. when i buy a brand new record, i tend to play it over and over until it wears out... that's why i bought four BNN...
10. i USED TO suck my thumb... past tense..
11. i can't sleep without a baseball ball in my hand

that pretty much covers everything...

i guess i have a couple oddities as well..

-i memorize license plates rather than the cars the people in my town drive.. i can't help it, i immediately look at the license plate of a car before anything else.
- i do the adding thing too! it's a subconscious thing, but whenever i see the numbers on a license plate or mailbox, i add them together.. i'm particularly attracted to numbers that add to multiples of five.. 4+5+6, 8+7+5... ok i know it's weird
-a cannot stay on the same channel during a commercial, i'm a "flipper"
-i read the livejournals of people i don't even know :-)
-i put the sugar and milk in my tea before i actually put in the tea bag
that's pretty much it :-)
