I do that pretty often. Like just a few days ago actually. But only when everyone else is asleep (2-5AM).

Mine: Always having to car radio set to volume 30, saying Hi to people I know, just to show I know people, always having to wear baggy t-shirts (a size too big), wanting to adjust my hair and the being angry coz it doesn't stay the way I want it.

Best.

Don't know if it's a fetish, but I can never sit back in an oversized chair. I always perch myself on the edge, otherwise I feel tiny.

Quote: "that said i preffer to spend my weekends sleeping without a tent in a forest with rain, hail, snow and howling winds, (and probably only getting an hours sleep per night max) than my own warm, comfy bed."


I was about to agree - but then I noticed the "without a tent" bit.

I worry about my fellow Conventionees sometimes.

Quote: "When I was little I used to sleep facing my bedroom window, because I thought that a cereal killer would climb up the side of my house into my room while I was asleep, and I wanted to be able to see him coming..."


Now that IS weird - I never realised that anyone would be that concerned about losing their breakfast to their pet cat.

I play An Untitled Story too much. I post in the middle of the night. I have to wash my hands with soap every time my hands touch a metal object in the bathroom. I can't have anything on my face. I don't eat saeurkraut.

Every time sweets come out, I eat a lot not because I want a lot, but becase I don't get sweets very often.

I love IM posting with Dutchess/RALB.

I have this strange way of spouting out extremely descriptive, gory threats when I am annoyed.

My underwear always has to be an inch below my pant level.

My eyes hurt. And AUS rocks. More people should try making quality 2d games.

I used to be known for on purpose (and joking of course) making obnoxiously unrealistic threats. I once said that I would punch someone so hard in the face the force would travel down their body, into their foot, shattering it.

I knew this was impossible, I said it regardless

I say stuff kind of like: "If you don't stop right now, I promise, I will take my pinky finger and shove it so far into your eye socket, I will touch your brain, pull out your eye, then take this pencil and shove it up your butt until it comes out of your chest, and eat your eyeball..

I LOVE the smell of when you walk into an outside garden section of a supermarket. The Aqua smell, I guess you would call it. Where all the plants are.. I absolutely love that smell.

I only like rain if its warm out. Night rain sucks. Day Rain is much better. I hate Snow

I love Ice Cream....

Oh, and im always Sexy... No matter what.

I think rain in the night is much better than day. My favorite type of air is the calm before a storm. My favorite rain is heavy drizzle with cool air.

I like cold, snowy days with endless time to program, and always trying to actually make something useful out of my copy of dbPro is my fetish.

Quote: "I live in Oregon, perhaps the most depressing RAINING place on earth. I'd give anything to actually see SUN. "

Lol Apple Slicer, I just vacationed on the coast of Oregon, down in Astoria, on the last day I was feeling depressed becaused it rained every DAY!

I don't get it.

I'm oblivious as Romeo Montague from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. JUst read it in English & it's a damn good piece of work by (seemigly) the best playwright ever.

But that's my opinion.

Same.

Quote: "Subconciously avoid stepping on lines on the path (I hate lines...)"


Same.

Quote: "Whenever I go out to eat, I can't have my back face the door or the people in the restaurant. I have to see everyone at all times. "


Same. I always sit in a corner table with my back to the corner.


A more unique one of mine happens while I'm fixing my hair. I use a greasy hair product called Brylcreem, and when I'm slicking my hair back, I sometimes spend as much as 20 minutes making sure that every single stand is straight back and not off to the side or something. I even talk to my hair in a soothing voice while doing so ("It's all right hair, you'll be slicked back soon")

This isn't really a fetish of mine, more of OCD lol; I love ice in my drinks but I have to have an exact amount. Sometimes I'll find myself sitting at the refreshment thing trying to dump one piece of ice out for like 2 minutes. It gets really annoying but I'm insanely irritated if I don't have the right amount of ice.

Does anyone else get "psycho urges" like when around fragile things like my brain is saying "dont smash the things!" I also am a bit weird about things getting near my eyes i sometimes have to put down a knife cos im scared ill slip and gauge my eye out #-(
and waiting for a train i sometimes worry that i could fall on the track and get killed, i dont know why probably just my brain telling me these are stupid things to do

I always leave the blue m&m's till last
I used to have a weird OCD thing in school where if i eg touched the desk with my left hand id have to do the same with my right hand, and i used to line up my ruler and pens exactly with the edge of the table. God school was boring!!

i feel the need to post on pointless threads like this!

Oh since this is a random thread: Today I walked passed a shop that sells windows and they had a broken window! oh the delicious irony

can't read?

I have a bad habit for flicking light switches off if they're on as I go past. I also feel really bad if I'm sat at a pc looking at gorgeous weather outside....

On the weather front, I prefer it to be cold, dry and really really deep snow =) However, on the rare sunny days, I'm perfectly happy !

I do something kind of like that. I instinctively flip the light switch whenever I enter a room, so If I go in a room with no windows (like a bathroom), and the lights are already on, I'll flip the switch and end up in a pitch black room. I then have to find the switch in the dark and turn it back on; and then feel like an idiot...

I live in Michigan, and where I live there are no subways, all trains are above ground. So cars do have to wait for them to pass. Now if I am closest do the train I often get scared that the train will flop over on top of my car.

Ok I thought of one more: Whenever I pass a mirror, I absolutely HAVE to look at my self in it. If I don't look in the mirror, and keep walking, I start playing with my hair and my clothes to make sure everything is in line, and then I end up walking back to the mirror to see if I messed anything up.

If I walk past a mirror I deliberately don't look in it in case it makes me want to fiddle with my clothes or hair.

Also, I put any rubbish that I have in my pockets, even if I'm standing next to bin.
