    I rarely listen to music as well.

    The toilet paper thing is something I do as well.

    I can't possibly do a thing in public toilets if there are people who are talking around.

    When I draw, most of the time I never finish the drawings I start either because I get frustrated from erasing badly done things or simply because I find the thing ugly.

    When I read comics/books/dialog from a video game/people talking on forums/chat, etc, I always assign voices I think would be most fit to them depending on how they talk and/or look like, if, in the case of games, they already have a voice then I try to assign that exact same voice to the character.

    I guess I am the weird one because I don't do any of those crazy things that you wackos do (except the spelling / grammar thing - but that's not wierd).

    ok, my turn to comment on your weird habits.

    Agreed. I hate it when stuff splashes out and touches you. Because chances are, it's not clean.

    Nose picking is acceptable. If I have to do it in public, I use a towel of some sort. But wiping, I sometimes use my hands.

    Knuckle cracking I also do. But not symmetrically all the time. And only the fingers. If a bone elsewhere cracks, it's by accident.

    Toilet paper... doesn't matter if it rolls over or under. But what gets me is if someone peels the two halves off of each other! That needs to be fixed, so that no one accidently uses a half-thick piece of tissue.

    [quoteI don't wear a watch. I'm not sure if I own a working one. [/quote]
    Me too!!! Except that I KNOW I don't own a working one! And I complain when public clocks don't work.

    Add more later.

    I thought of another: I can't actually use the toilet (bar going for a number one) unless I have something to read. Many a time have I run around, frantically looking for some reading material whilst my bowels are screaming with rage.

    Yes... I know...

    My knees pop all the time it freaks my girlfriend out, especially when we are being intimate and all of a sudden there is a loud popping sound eminating from my legs. It's from haveing destroyed my knees 4 or 5 times playing sports.

    As for my wierd tendancies.

    -I sleep naked. I feel wierd if I have clothes on.
    -I have to drive. There are very few people I feel safe with when driving (Best friend, girlfriend, father)
    -I always have a song in my head. And usually the song that I finish my day with is not even connected to the song I started with.
    -I used to do the seperate food thing. They could not touch. Now I don't care.
    -I never eat in the morning.
    -I can't eat within 2 hours of playing hockey or I will get sick.

    -I analyze my dreams on a regular basis.
    -Sometime I write messages or small books and leave them at busstops for people to find and wonder about.
    -I can't sleep unless the room is totally dark and silent, unless it is daytime.

    My question is, do you eat it just that way or do you add seasonings? Also, why do you add the water?

    I correct people. I obsessively point out mistakes. I have become a bit milder in the last year or so, but I still always have to fight the urge to correct. Surprisingly, I have friends. :shake:

    I'm not the only one with this..habit, though.

    I have Microsoft Word open and minimized at almost all times. That way, I can cut/paste almost everything I post online into it and use the spellcheck. :rolleyes:

    I can't spell for some reason, but my grammar is fairly good, IMO. :rolling:

    Hey, me too Kitrax, except instead of Microsoft Word I like to use notepad. Ever since taking my web-publishing class using notepad feels more like 1337 hacker code than using Word.

    I can type 175 GWAM.

    It is a blessing and a curse, most people go "OMG ITS T3H TYP3R I CAN ONLY GO 50-70 BUT 175 HOLY CRAP!" Whenever I play internet games and have a conversation it is really frustrating for me, because I will type something and expect an immediate response, but I have to wait for what they have to say and by then I already have typed 3-4 other messages. Whenever I'm asking questions I usually have 3-4 on the screen before I even get an answer to the first one.

    Notepad has a spellchecker? Huh...I never knew that. I only use notepad to edit .ini files.

    Here's another for my list. I *loathe* when people talk in "L33t" talk. It's worse than ebonics. :bang: :nono: :rolling:

    Volume has to be specific number (21, 25, 28, 32, 36, etc). Volume dials are unnatural.

    No album should have exactly 13 songs on it.

    Use to be specific about even number of footsteps, doing same thing to one side of body as to other, now try to be deliberately random about it.

    The toilet roll thing.

    Constantly tap my feet to songs in my head, never tap my feet while listening to music.

    Have the same 3 Stone Roses lines going round and round my head ("Turn turn, I wish you'd learn", "Gold road's sure a long road", "I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way").

    Check lights are off, door locked, etc several times before going to bed, even though I know they are.

    Hate people getting picky over spelling - if almost nobody knows if its license or licence it doesn't ****ing matter.

    I never, ever dance.

    Hehe. I'm and old amateur programmer junkie (I coded in QBasic on an XT machine to avoid needing to do my physics homework on my own back when I was a kid) but I never, ever use leet in any form. Not even "r" instead of "are" or "u" or "ppl". I remove vowels when there's not enough space or time (the latter only if it's for my own use), or use abbreviations or acronyms, maybe even cut down on articles etc, but never "u" or "r" or "w8 4 me" etc. Not even in SMSes. If it it's so long, I can phone instead. Or type another one.

    I always take that stuff as a sign of disrespect when I get it in e-mails. Especially if someone is asking for my time but can't be bothered to give enough of his own time to frame the request in a normal way, I'm seriously put off. Same way, I expect standard grammar and syntax when being addressed (but not when it's I who am addressing someone who has no obligation to reply). By this I don't mean spotless grammar and syntax. I just mean no funny things or grossly flawed declinations/conjugations.

    Oh dear and yeah, I do type like mad. People would gather around me in cyber cafes and gaze at my fingers in amazement. :p

    It just happened while the fireworks are going off - I dance around for no reason. Extra energy, I guess.

    When sleeping in my bed, my wall MUST be on my right side when laying on my back. If it's on the left, i'll hardly get any sleep at all.

    When i write something with a pencil, i sometimes rewrite words over itself time and time again.

    Whenever my hair falls down in my eyes, i always toss it to the left.
