Post Weird Habits
on: May 09, 2004 04:27
I was wondering what kind of weird habits the people on CoE have, I'll list mine here and then you guys post yours, okay?!

1. I sing right after someone/something/I wakes me/Iwake up.
usually 'Motivate me...I wanna get myself out of this bed...Captivate me...I want good thoughts inside of my head' my favorite lyrics they're in my siggy.

2. internet slang. You know the stuff like - lol - lmho - rofl - nmhe - etc...that type stuff? Can't stop using it...lol. AAAH! There it was again!!!!!

I have a few more that I can't remember...I'll post them later...if I remember them...lol.

Everytime I eat a lollypop, I also consume the entire stick.

There are many others, but it is too much to get into.

- I pout all the time without thinking about it. But my brother does it when he's concentrating so it must be something in the genes lol.

- I never - ever! - touch anything in a public toilet except tissue. I use tissue to flush the chain, open the doors, etc, I just can't touch anything because it freaks me out knowing it's probably all covered in disease lol. I've been doing it for so long I just do it without thinking now.

I have more but I can't think of them!

Weird habits...I feel that`s all I do sometimes! Just a few off the top off my head:

-I`m obsessed with the number 4 and I do every (and I mean every) possible thing four times: whether it be drinking four glasses of water at a time, clapping four times, pulling out four paper towels in public toilets...

-I brush my hair all the time...sometimes I`ll just yank out my brush in the middle of the street and start brushin`...

-I love chewing paper and sellotape, and even though I`ve tried a zillion times, can`t get rid of that stupid habit...

-When I walk along the street, I sometimes start laughing loudly for no apparent reason

That`s it from me

hi.

mmm bad habits I have a lot of them. But my worst is that when something good happened too my I'm telling everyone the whole day what I did orsaw. I can't stop talking about it.
And I also talk about everything the first minute i see someone and the rest of the day when I'm with him/her i talk about the subject. And i alsways make sentences in a weird confusing way.
I'm also very irretating when I'm happy.

I smell everything before I eat or drink it - weird I know but it's just something I do. I have to close every door when I go into a room and i also sing to myself constantly.

I don't know if this is a habit or what, but when I haven't cleaned the house in two weeks or so, and it's just kinda cluttered, I have to go through the ENTIRE house and clean every little spot of dirt. One of my pet peeves though is making sure that the pillows are always in the right spot on the sofa, and that the throw blankets are always folded. It just bugs me if they're not! Also, one I picked up from my dad, I hit myself on the top of my chest with my open hand when I have to [size=1]burp[/size] or cough. It's an annoying habit and I'm sure that it looks super stupid.

One of the habits that I have to say about is one on "Everybody Loves Raymond". Ray's brother Robert always touches his drink or his food to his chin before he eats or drinks it. Every bite. Silly people. *hides under cushion*

-I am obsessed with the number 11.
-Everytime I turn on my laptop, I have to change my wallpaper. I don't know why.
That's it, but I am sure there is more.

OoO! Weird habbits:

Well, the weirdest I know, and the one I do all the time it what I call pinching my neck. Ever since I was a baby I always did this thing when I pinch some skin from my neck lightly inbeteween my fingers and then kinda caress it with my pointer finger. It's soo comfortable.

I also for no aparant reason sort of just tap out tunes on anything like I was playing a piano, even though I don't.

Hmm. . . can't think of any others now!

Wow...that takes a lot of time....

My habit might not be weird but it could be to others...when someone talks to me I don't look at their faces or their eyes. I look somewhere else but I am listening. hehehe

I have more but I can't think of them right now..

My habit is to use lip balm on my nose if I have a cold. It stops the skin cracking and getting dry. Lip balm or a moisturiser works well for some reason.

My weird/funny habits are...

Before I go to sleep or do anything that envolves sitting for long periods of time like watching tv or doing hw. I HAVE to make sure all my dolls, teddy bears or anything that has eyes on it are not looking at me. I get freaked out by that

When I sleep I make sure that my pillow is not totally backed up againts the bed. There needs to be some space between the bed and the pillow at least an inch. I can't sleep if it doesn't.

I like putting alot of pillows and fluffy things on my bed. But when I sleep I just throw them all of and sleep with just one pillow a bolster and a blanket.

- When I'm listening to music, I always sing along, and when there are no vocals, or the vocal stop, I sing along with the music, and imitate guitar or violin etc. melodies. Then half way through I realise how silly I sound, and I start laughing.
- I can't go to sleep without reading, even if I only read a page or two.
- Whenever anyone's talking, I fiddle with things, usually just stuff like pens, whatever's nearby. It looks really rude, though, like I'm not listening.
- Every second word I say is "like". I know everyone complains about people who do this, and I've been trying to stop, but its so hard.
- I always listen to music. If I'm in the kitchen, for example, everyone else in the room has to put up with my music.
-Whenever I go away, even if its just for a weekend, I have to take at least 3 books. I once took seven to a Surival Weekend!

i poke people when im bored.

i sometimes talk in acronyms like im from some government bureau.

ya know link from zelda? well... whenever im hurt i always sound kinda like that... (eh! yah!... etc.)


i talk very very fast sometimes. (135 bpm...?)

im random, its hard for some people to follow my train of thought.

i twist my fingers in weird shapes when im bored.

i have my own sign language.

i have my own words for many things.

im sort of a contortionist... i sleep under my pillow. (yeah, whole body.) i sort of kicked the habit though after i slept on my arm and dreamt someone shot my arm off with an arrow. this was a year ago. it hurt. bad.

This topic is fun!

Mine arn't going to sound odd unless you know that I'm 25 years old. That said, let's get this train wreak a-rollin'.

I still sleep with my teddy-bear and can't fall asleep without him. I've gotten so used to having something to wrap my arms around that I can't relax any other way (Morna needs a husband lol). When I am in a hotel or something I fold up a pillow into a ball about the same size as my teddy-bear and sleep with that.

I go to parks with my portable CD player, get on the swings, and sing at the top of my lungs even if there are lots of other people there. I know I don't sound great when I can't hear myself, but I don't care. It's fun.

I name all my important possessions, such as car and computer, except for those that I break often (such as the affore-mentioned CD player).

Just to name a couple...

I put the dishes up the same way everytime I empty the dishwasher, and if anyone else does it 'wrong' i will resituate everything in its proper place.

If i ever suspect that someone has used the washcloth that I use in the shower, I will get a clean one.

I will post more as I think of them. They are habbits so it's hard to think of them.

This is so hard, since these are normal for me.
Keep in mind that I'm 21.

1. I put on hand lotion every 15 minutes. I put it on at least twice per class. I even keep some in the passenger seat for trips home.

2. I hock up a hairball when I'm on the phone with my best friend. I can't help it, I sound like Gollum, lol.

3. My cooking projects. I can't follow a recipe to save my life. My worst disaster... instant potatoes and strawberry yoohoo.

4. I almost always have headphones on.

5. When I'm home and other people are there too. I cannot let people see me wake up. I'll wait till they're all in the living room before getting up. I'll even sneak into the kitchen and grab something small like a pack of crackers and sneak back to my room. I just can't stand to be seen. Until I'm all awake, or I've had my shower.

6. I love to run, but I won't run if people can see me.

7. Falling asleep at random. On instant messenger with my friend, in front of the tv, in my computer chair...

8. I have to take a book of some sort with me when I go potty at home....

9. I don't use a pillow. I sleep on my tummy and end up on my back sometimes. I can NOT sleep on my back. If I do use a "pillow" it's my arms folded up.

10. I can't dance and my bedroom doesn't have much space. So when a really good song is on, I'll jump up and down like a rabid kangaroo.

I have a habit of tearing off those stickers on like glue bottles, nail polish, or body wash, that have like directions or ingredients on them, I just like pulling them off.

And evertime Im done with drinking a pop and I have a straw I'll always chew on the straw and even like bend it in my mouth to make that zig zag style.

I have like the same lunch at school everyday, and I eat it in the same order too, my friends don't like it when I do that lol!

And when I talk (this runs in the family) my hands have a mind of their own. It's like I'm doing sign language lol.

Ohhhhh man....you DON'T want my list.


LOL!! That bad huh?

My mom keeps telling me to stop. She says, you're going to choke on it! And I'm like... it's a straw! It's kind of hard to choke on something as long as a straw. I never try to stick it in my teeth, but I do treat it like a lollypop. lol!!

*lol* Stickin' a straw in your mouth isn't as scary as doing it with a toothpick. Dude, everytime I see someone chewing one of those........ugh...it gives me the creeps.

My mom keeps telling me to stop cracking my knuckles, too.

I pop my knuckles too. And my toes, writs, back, neck, knees, etc. lol.
All that stuff they tell you about your knuckles getting big and arthritis is BS. I've been cracking my knuckles for well over a decade, my fingers are just fine. Plus it feels good.

yeah. the only ones you need to worry anything about are back and neck. Oh and never crack your fingers from the very bottom knuckle by pressing down towards your palms. If that makes any sense.

I think, along with what Elistariel said, when you pop your knuckles for a long time like when you turn 50 or 60 years old or something then you'll start to get arthritsis... I'm not sure.

Nah, not really. What the popping comes from is the ligaments that hold the bones together stretching (the reason why you shouldn't pop them toward your palm). I'm almost 53 and don't have any problems with them. The only arthritis I have is in my neck (from too many years of overstretching in ballet in my youth) and some in my knees (from the same and being in the Navy). I still pop my fingers, but try to avoid the over stretching in my neck.

Ooo...ouch! Take care of yourself BelleBayard.

Yeah, I'm pretty careful with how I "crack myself up". I don't crack my neck or back, because I can't...and now I don't want to after hearing you guys' stories. When I do crack my knuckles, I'll either crack them regularly (just by pressing down on my fingers) or by popping them out (taking the finger and pulling out). It sounds "creepy", but it doesn't really hurt, and I've never had any problem with it.
