Strange Habits You Have

Whenever it gets so quiet to the point where "you can hear a pin drop", for some reason I start thinking funny thoughts and then I burst out laughing.

I'm have an OCD when it comes to my videogames. When purchasing one, it has to meet the following qualifications:

1) There can't be any scratches on the box
2) It can't be labeled "Greatest Hits" or whatever
3) The paper art can't be tattered or torn
4) The game disc has to include both the instructions (no torns or marks) and case

In other words, BRAND NEW, or near mint copy of the original.

This also applies to DVDs as well.

I think my strangest habit is chewing my my braid/my dad/any sibling who dares to invade my personal space. And since my braid is permanantly attached to me, it's the most common victim -.-;; That, and I tend to storm down the stairs like I'm on fire. It irritates the heck outta my parents, but I never stop ^___^;;

I've gotten into the odd habit of saying that my name is Frank. It isn't, of course. But quite a few people that I've met now think it is. I don't know why I won't tell some people my real name...but its always funny to have someone walk up to me and say "Hi, Frank."

I will "growl" when I'm angry, snort when I'm tired of a conversation, and "purrrt" when I'm confused. The purrrt is also used as a greeting - I guess that means my friends and I are just generally confused at oneanother!

But my parents get a tad embarrased at me for doing it. *shrugs*

If there is ever like a picture or something hanging somewhere or in plain site, and it is facing towards me, i always get creeped out and start to believe it is staring at me. then i will have like a 'staring contest' with the picture, and end up like flipping it over or covering it up or something. I hate museums because you have all these piuctures staring at you, and you can't do anythign about it. scary *shudder*

also, i have the tendancy to start glaring at people who are like minding their own business and laughing about something. no matter what, it always make me think they're laughing at me for some weird reason...

not to mention habits of looking under my desk every half an hour or so like there is something going to be underneath it, i always do that.. or being stuck in a dark room with a mirror. that seriously creeps me out... *shudder*

i guess i am just a weirdo.

i also have a habit of clicking my nail between my two front teeth, because one tooth is slightly more forward than the other, so there's a small space. aaaand i tap on things and bob my head and whatnot since i alway have a song caught in head. lol peopel always think i have headfones on so random people walk up to me and ask me what i'm listening to.

hmm... habits habits uh i've been told that i type just like i talk, which i don't think is weird but my friends do. o and whenever i see a rubberband, i have a habit of putting it on my wrist. it's been a habit since 7th grade. dunno if that's a compulsory thing or not, tho

and are obsessive-compulsive tendencies habits? straightening books in a bookstore, pushing in chairs as i walk by, making sure all my money is facing the same way, that sort of thing...

Yup, me too....my mom has this picture hanging in our dining room...*glances at it* 0_o...

Sometimes, when i'm on the family's computer, I'll throw a blamket over my head just because I know it's back there staring at me...and the freaky part in my opinion...

It's a picture of Jesus....

But then again, any picture staring at me, when i know it's staring at me, is enough to freak me out...

That or when actual people are staring at you and you know...but they don't know that you know...

Yes, if you have a tendency to do them over and over again and are constantly bothered by it if its not to your style.

I have it too, but its nothing really serious.

Hey, yesterday one just occured to me. Every time my family goes to a non-American-food Restaurant (i.e. Chinese/Mexican, which happens only about 3 times a year), I always seem to pick at least one item off of their "American" menu.

On Mother's Day, we went out for chinese. I tried some chow mein (didn't entirely like it though), plus some french fries. Then just yesterday we ate out at a mexican restaurant, I wasn't feeling up to ordering Mexican, so I got a Sloppy Joe instead.

Mom & sis always crack up when I do that....

I sometimes tend to fiddle with my hair. I don't really know how it started, but now it's just an odd quirk.

When it comes to video games, I'll sometimes get so frustrated, I'll start growling; I may even mumble a curse.

I've picked up Kenshin's famous catchphrase, "Oro", and I say it when I am exicted, confused, startled, etc without thinking. Odd...

I have this odd habit of rocking against my couch whenever I listen to music. I call it "bouncing". I've been doing it ever since I was a little kid.

I also move constantly. Even when I'm sitting down, I shake my legs and bite my fingernails. I guess I just have the habit of always moving.
