Pretty self explanatory.

only 2 rules:

1. Be kind to each other
2. They have to be about your quirks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll get it started:

1. I am fascinated by the word "Armadillo"
2. My favorite late night snack that I am not allowed have, is tortilla with Miracle whip, Kraft cheese slice, and Pringles.
3. Sometimes I have a collection of socks underneath the covers. I kick them off when my feet get too warm.
4. I have a very particular order in the shower, if I miss a step, I have to start over.
5. When I am having a cocktail I have to stop myself from licking the rim of my glass...It is not always a margarita.

Ready....Set....GO!

1) If you rattle around for food in a potato chip bag long enough, I'll leave, ask you to leave, or give you the death stare.

2) I like to smack the bottoms of new drinks until the seal of the cap pops.

3) I like to pop gum in rooms loudly enough to make people turn in disgust.

4) I will literally lick a plate clean if I like the food.

5) I like duct tape. A lot.

1. If you sneeze more than three times in a row, on a daily basis, I might be annoyed. I can't help it.
2. I cannot tolerate passive aggressive behavior/comments AT ALL.
3. Each of my pets has their own song, I intentionally sing them off-key.
4. I spend a lot of time laughing at my own inner monologue.
5. I chew ice all day long. Luckily, I have strong teeth.

1. I am rather terrified of adhesives. I don't like tape being on me, and I can just handle band aids.

2. I listen to the same song over and over and over again.

3. I wear a silly toque

4. I am a sci/fi geek

5. I hate it when people leave the lights on and they are not in the room. I sometimes leave the living room light on when I go out just so people don't trip when coming inside.

1. I have an issue with fingernail clipping and the clippings. They should all be contained to the bathroom. Don't clip in the office and don't leave your clippings around the house. Eww.

2. My mom and I are frenemies. Sometimes it's humorous and sometimes not so much.

3. I hate it when parents forget that they have an identity outside of being parents.

4. I go commando most of the time

5. I used to keep black widows in jars in my room.

I do not like people who chew with their mouth open. To me it is one of the most disturbing things. It causes me great anxiety.

If I am talking to someone on the phone, I expect them to respect me and not talk with a mouthful of food, while eating like a pig.

I listen to Andrea Bocelli when I am anxious.

I sucked my thumb until I was 11 and only stopped because my dad threatened to send me to school with a diaper and bottle and a note for the teacher.

I do not like snakes or worms.

I am a researcher- If i don't understand something or people ask me a question, they think i am a know it all because usually I can answer it.. but really, I just know how to look things up quickly i used to work for ChaCha after all.

I will break out in song randomly at any moment if i hear a word or a sentence that reminds me of lyrics to a song.

I have a really odd quirky sense of humor some people just don't understand.

I have a very good memory, if you lie to me or change your story, i will remember.

How fun! Okay....

I speak "for" all of our animals...each in slightly different voices. If you'd like to have a conversation with any of them, I'll be happy to assist.

I love toasting marshmallows in the fireplace, but really only want to eat one. I then try to feed them to whoever else happens to be in the room.

I think and function in circles....I may start to do one task, get distracted, and complete 6 or 7 others before I finish the original task. I do the same with sentences sometimes...

I snore...loudly when I'm more overweight or more tired...less when I'm rested and have lost some weight. Once, when I was at my heaviest and stressed out of my mind, I woke the upstairs neighbor. :|

I repeat myself. I think it comes from doing too many presentations in work environments...the old "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them." It's annoying, even to me. Sometimes I can even hear myself doing it and and I just.can't.stop!

4. I will only drink Pepsi, never Coke. No compromise!!

Mine should read "only drink Coke and will not ever drink Pepsi." If that is all the place serves, I will change my order to tea or Dr. Pepper.

Ok, maybe just a little.

Sooo glad I'm not the only one! LOL! At least I know I'm not crazy - just Quirky like the rest of you, lol!

Some of mine....

When wearing socks in the Winter, I feel sensory deprived – I love to walk barefoot whenever possible.

I hate wearing tight clothing, it makes me feel claustrophobic.

If I dislike someone or feel uncomfortable around them, I don’t like to touch or be touched by them and my body language changes to reflect this.

I have an aversion to seeing milk on cereals – when I do it’s hard for me not to Ralph!

I can’t stand it noisy eaters and those who speak with their mouths full! ……..Argh! Where are your manners?!

I am very judgemental about people's yards and porches. I have MY opinion about what is tasteful and have been known to spout off to the point about gawdy items that my friends and family have nicknamed me the yard police...

I have plastic see thru mats on my carpeting...and on my living room couch and chairs. The ones on my couch and chairs are upside down so the prickly side is up. Its to keep the cats from climbing on them. To sit, you just have to move them....

I have a saddle in my dining room

I have to be given valium when I go to the dentist...even if its just for a teeth cleaning. That just started since I had shingles...

I had shingles ALL over my face...I felt like a monster...

Well, let's see here....

I grind my teeth all. the. time.

I become easily lost in thought while driving. I will drive with my left arm and constantly rub it with my right... just like my mother.

Like Hollylane my morning rituals are borderline OCD. From what I do the minute I wake up, to when I walk out the door for work. My honey never needs an alarm clock, because when she hears me blowdry my hair, she knows it's 7:00am on the dot.

I play out different scenerios with people in my mind... and many times I've worked myself up to a point that I become physically upset over hypothetical arguements in my head.

Before going to bed, I will set & reset my alarm clock at least 3 times... just in case. Yeah, I do a lot of things in threes.

I want to slap the back of people's heads when they walk and don't pick up their feet. OMG how hard is it to pick up your feet.... (not a button for me, nope not at all) :seeingstars:

If you dump work on my desk, and don't have the courtesy to tell me, chances are, your work will get 'lost'.

When house cleaning, my kitchen has to be cleaned first. I cannot think with a dirty kitchen. (I don't even want to analyze that one)

Don't tell me you can't play a drum. It is a stick and a hide, not rocket science.

You can cancel your first appointment with me twice, after that, I don't take your calls.

1 - I absolutely HATE it when someone taps me on the shoulder, or back. It takes everything in me to refrain from breaking their finger.

2 - I cannot get into an unmade bed.

3 - I have a very hard time breathing through my nose because of a long-ago break. If someone covers my mouth completely, even as a joke, I panic.

4- I always thought I was a dog person...turns out I am more a cat person. Who knew?? (still adore my dogs though)

5 -I like tuna mixed with rice, mayo, ketchup, and hot sauce

My mom and I have virtually the same voice. Dad is the only one who can tell the difference. It's mildly frightening.

I used to wish I was two inches shorter and that I had freckles.

When I check things (OCD), I must touch them before I feel okay. Thankfully, I only check the lock on the door and the stove before bed and leaving the house.

I have an immune system of steel - I can kiss someone with a cold and I'll never get sick. A friend of mine said I'll be the only survivor in a zombie apocalypse. Goody... I think.

I rub my scalp and tug my hair a little to calm myself when I'm worrying.

1QuirkyKiwi

11-23-2011, 02:26 PM

I chew my lip when I’m stressed or annoyed.

When wearing my glasses I look over the top of them when talking to someone.

I’m fastidious about the cleanliness of other people’s kitchens and bathrooms – I refused the offer of food and drink when I’ve seen several unwashed dishes in the sink and a cup just rinsed under the tap. Both my kitchen and bathroom are cleaned daily.

When there is a room of people and there is a silence for a while, I can comfortably daydream until the conversation starts up again.

I stand with my right hand on my thigh and sit with either my palms facing up or resting on my belly/lap.

Gemme

11-23-2011, 02:26 PM

I sucked my thumb until I was 11 and only stopped because my dad threatened to send me to school with a diaper and bottle and a note for the teacher.

I sucked my thumb til I was about 10. I made a gentleman's agreement with my mother. I would quit the thumb and she would quit the ciggies. Guess who reneged? Guess who is still resentful of that?

I grind my teeth all. the. time.

I become easily lost in thought while driving. I will drive with my left arm and constantly rub it with my right... just like my mother.

Like Hollylane my morning rituals are borderline OCD. From what I do the minute I wake up, to when I walk out the door for work. My honey never needs an alarm clock, because when she hears me blowdry my hair, she knows it's 7:00am on the dot.

Another grinder here. I really need to get a thingy from the dentist for that. I did it as a coping mechanism during my childhood and I can't seem to stop. I do it when I concentrate hard on something, when I'm frustrated, when I'm sleeping, when I'm flat out angry....although then it turns into more of a teeth clenching thing.

I can remember specific instances of when I did NOT remember driving from point A to point B. It goes beyond getting lost in thought, I think, and sometimes scares the bejeezus out of me.

I'm a little short of OCD when it comes to morning rituals, but I definitely have a pattern and if something gets off kilter like I'm late waking up or something broke that I have to fix, then my whole day feels shot from the get go.

I am a goody two shoes about some things....like rules. They are usually there for a reason, so abide by them or I shall get snarky. Ebon has had to talk me down from giving someone a thorough lashing in a thread because they blatantly ignored the OP's rules for the thread. I critique the driving of others, loudly and sometimes with finger puppets, when they break the rules.

1. I'm easily distracted. I can start a project only to get distracted by something else and something else and on and on. It takes me forever to get the original project completed.

2. I can't stand it for the light to be left on in a room if no one is in there. Turn off the damn light when you leave the room, please!

3. Crumbs! Oh how I hate it when crumbs are blindly left on the counter! Am I the only person that can see them?? Ugh! Please check where you have been and clean up after yourself, this is not a difficult thing I ask.

4. This one really gets me. Every single time we go out to eat, when he is finished eating, my husband blows his nose while sitting AT the table! I absolutely hate it! It wouldn't be so bad but he blows his nose really LOUD. Ewww. I've talked to him and asked him to go to the men's room and he just doesn't do it. Anyone feel me on this one? :|

5. I don't like to be touched (including my hair) except by those I know and accept. Others make me cringe because I dont trust them.

Babyangeleyez

11-23-2011, 03:59 PM

1. Whenever I'm in the car....driving or passenger...I have to have a crack in the window. Even in winter.

2. If music is playing in a restaurant I will usually sing along. My ex tells me there isn't a song out there that I don't know the words to.

3. When I did office work I couldn't stand my desk to be cluttered. Made me feel a little claustrophobic.

4. I hate seeing doggies hanging out of car windows or riding in the back of pick up trucks. I'm always so afraid they are gonna jump or fall out.

5. I leave at least a car length between me and the vehicle in front of me. Since my car accident almost 2 years ago, in my mind, no body is gonna stop so if I need to get outta the way I have room to do so.

I’m really disturbed by eating noises- loud chewing, lip smacking, constant banging of utensils against a plate or bowl. I have one coworker who is so loud that I have to pull out my iPod when he’s eating lunch.

If I don’t shut off the tv and computer and just quietly read for about an hour before bed, I can’t shut my brain off enough to get to sleep.

I’m messy and don’t care that I’m messy. I’ll leave dishes in the sink (as long as they don’t stink) and throw clothes on the floor instead of hanging them up.

I have to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the wall- unless I’m on the first floor of a house and there’s a window there, then I have to be as far from the window as possible. And under no circumstances can a limb be dangling from the bed!

I’m easily startled. Simply saying my name when I’m lost in thought will make me jump out of my skin.

1. I speak to and for animals I see out in public. They do not have to be even remotely close to me, just in my line of sight. I almost never acknowledge or speak to the people attached to them. Apparently, I do this in a different voice so those with me usually know I am not talking to them, but I have had saying "You are so cute and fat!" to a dog result in having a woman tell me to "fuck off".

2. The drink hole of my Starbuck's cup and the logo on the cup have to be lined up.

3. I am so grateful that I quit smoking almost 18 years ago, but I still love the smell of cigarettes and will stand near people smoking.

4. Small repetitive noises (tapping or clicking pens, snapping gum, tapping pencils, spinning coins on a table, etc) makes me almost homicidal crazy. Maybe that is just a teacher thing...

5. I hate being barefoot anywhere other than a pedicure salon or bed. I do not like my feet touching anything that might be dirty, but I am a trail runner and get filthy almost every weekend and that does not bug me.

if I am in a car with someone, I HATE having music on.It literally makes me shut down and I cant hold a conversation.

when i wake up nowadays, my hands are always in a fist. A tight fist. I have to literally uncurl my fingers slowly because it hurts.

I flooded my kitchen today. I left the water running in the sink so I could defrost the turkey in it, and forgot about it while I vacuumed.

This is the SECOND time I flooded my kitchen. the first time I left the water running in the bathroom sink upstairs. My kitchen ceiling is still waiting to be repaired from that.

My parakeet hates me. It is SO rare for an animal not to like me, I am stunned by this. Its not just me. Its anyone who puts their hand in his cage, he attacks and attacks hard! And since i am the one who feeds and waters him and cleans his cage, I am the one he truly is determined to thwart! I have gotten him treats, new toys, tried to feed him by hand (oooo..WRONG move!)and still, he will not warm up to me...sigh...

I like to lock Beasley out of the car and then drive off. Ok, I always come back!

I like to eat things past their expiration dates.

I love absolute perfect silence.

I think pineapples are a great conversation starter.

There is a robot dinosaur asleep in my closet, with its eyes closed and a fine sheen of dust on its ridged back.

1. I keep a jar of peanut butter and a clean spoon next to my bed.
2. I have a strong desire to yell "Towanda"when trying to merge in Portland area traffic, nearly on a daily basis.

3. I have watched the entire series, Stargate SG-1, more than 15 times.
4. I like something sweet with nearly any kind of meat.
5. My pets are more important than you, until I love you, and then you become equally important.

I talk to myself quite often when trying to do things, so much so that people think that I am talking to them if they walk by my office and I am doing something that I have to tell them that I am talking to myself.

When driving, I will sometimes find myself quacking like a duck along to a song.

I have a coupon organizer and I clean it out monthly.

I pretty much only use the dishwasher unless it's an item that can't be put in the dishwasher.

I also have a morning order/routine and that if anything distracts me from it I will forget to do something. I have many of times gone to work without brushing my teeth or putting deodorant on because the phone rang (I keep a toothbrush/toothpaste and deodorant in my desk at work for that reason).

11-25-2011, 10:50 PM

1. I won't chew gum or suck on hard candy because of all the extra spit it creates......GAG!!!!!!!!

2. I'm a cleptomaniac. Well sort of. I like pens, I mean REALLY like pens. But, they have to have a certain "feel" to them. A certain weight, and the ink must be a certain color and have a certain flow. If I go to the bank, or any place that requires me to pick up a pen and sign something, and I like the pen, I will not put the pen back down. I will hold it, in front of the person who I am signing in front of, and play with my wallet or keys or whatever. When they are done with me, I will get up to leave, wave at them with the pen still in my hand, and if they don't ask for it back, I just figure it's a parting gift!!!! I will also make a big gesture and tuck the pen in my messy bun hair do, giving then another chance to speak up about the pen, and again, if they don't, well then, the pen is MINE!!!! I have given them 2 chances!
Therefore, I am an appreciator of free pens!!!!!

3. I can't make GOOD coffee for the life of me. I don't know if it's the machine, the water, the water temperature, to coffee, the grind, the altitude or where the moon is in it's cycle.....it's not happening!!! So, I drive through Tim Horton's. One perfect cup, handed to me through a drive through window! One happy femme!

4. I wash my hands a zillion times a day!

5. I love the pleasure and pain feeling of getting my legs waxed!!! ;)

1: I have odd noises/phrases that sound cat-like, from purring to hissing and everything in between. They come out in normal conversation. I make no apologies.
2: I dream very vividly. I can wake up myself and other people -- laughing or screaming -- because of a dream.
3: My toenails must be painted. I feel "naked" otherwise. Seriously, even in sneakers.
4: I love clothes and shoes but I hate getting dressed because I prefer my skin bare.
5: Sometimes conversation with me is more like getting a running monologue of what's wandering through my mind. And then my brain skips ahead and my tongue can't keep up and I tangent into the next thought without finishing the first one. My very good friends manage to keep up but passersby or newly introduced individuals sometimes just blink and wonder what they missed.

1) I bite my fingernails, so my toenails are always painted. Sometimes I can go through phases where I don't bite them..and then it ends and I tear them off. It's gross, I know. :| When I stress a lot, I do it too.

2) I also quit smoking, but I love to stand next to people who do. Unless they have that stale tobacco smell, and then it just makes me want to puke. :|

3) I have a routine when I get up in the morning, and when I sleep in, it throws me off - even if I wake up with time to do what I have wanted. For this reason, I sometimes forget to put on deodorant, or put my glasses on..or remember the rings I took off, because that is a rare occasion :|

4) Dragging feet and what someone dubbed "eating noises" also annoy the shit out of me. My ex used to grind his teeth, and make loud 'smacking' noises when he ate..Death glares galore couldn't stop him. It really..really..really bugs me. But I am good at keeping quiet about it.

5) When I drive by myself I often blare the music and get lost in thought. I will be thinking about one thing and it will go to another and next thing I know I have switched lanes and got to my destination that was 30 minutes away and not know quite how I did it. Hella scary :seeingstars: I also dance to said music a bit too much sometimes and it makes my truck shake. :| I do it shamelessly, head bopping and all..and making some drum playing on the steering wheel..People that stare are just jealous they can't relax and not care!

I like things symmetrical and the same size.
It really bugs me to not center my posts even.

Bard has come to know and involuntarily love my OCD ways with it.
Hy may or may not have eyed me when my mom mentioned how she used to move her furniture monthly, and how she likes change.
Nope, don't know where I got it. :|
I may or may not have discussed turning our main room into our living room, our living room into a new, big bedroom, and our current bedroom into a reading room with one of my co-workers..She thinks it sounds like a splendid idea.

Better wait 'til we're married before I start that :|

I get upset when restaurants don't have Yellow pop (Mellow Yellow or MT Dew)

When getting out of be I pull the covers up over my head and slide out (so I don't have to make the bed)

I must wear shoes (I have a pair of old flip flops) around the house because my back will go out if I don't.

I leave a glass on my night stand everyday half full of water from the night before

I pinch/play with the tip of my nose (I try to say it's cause of allergies) but it's just a bad habit.

1. I am incredibly OCD about having clean hands, and must wash them 3 times before leaving the sink, I start over if I lose count.

2. I absolutely hate the sound of television. This is especially true if I walk into an empty room and that is all you can hear.

3. My biggest pet peeve is when someone forgets to flip the knob in the bath tub from shower to bath. I HATE turning on the water and getting hit in the head before I enter the shower :)

4. When I park my car the steering wheel always has to be centered with the wheels facing forward.

5. I love to sing and often times find myself seranading my cat with 80's and 90's rap songs.

Okiebug61

11-26-2011, 08:27 AM

1. I have a routine in the morning that must be followed or I will forget everything I need to take to work.

2. I won't let Red do the laundry cause she doesn't fold the clothes the way I like them and she grabs the clothes out of the dryer in a bundle and throws them on the couch and leaves them there. I hang up the clothes and fold them in the laundry room and then put them up.

3. I don't like flying very much. I'm not afraid of dying but more afraid of getting kicked off a plane for telling a mother or father to keep their kid from kicking the back of my seat.

4. People who walk into a restaurant with a sign that says seat yourself and then stands in the way of others because they can't decided which of the 50 freaking seats they want bugs the crap out of me.

5. People who stop at yield signs when there is no one to yield to.

I find it tiring to have long phone conversations. After 2 minutes I get exhausted and need a 5 hour energy.

I have always had this weird fascination with food gift-baskets even though no one ever bought me one. I love looking at gift basket catalogs and seeing the salamis, cheeses, crackers and sweets in perfect combinations.

I am addicted to the ass-slap dance move. Sometimes I don't even notice I'm doing it.

I once sent a teacher into early retirement by pretending to be a cheetah and swiping at her from under a desk.

In college I was voted "Most Likely To Talk About You Once You Leave The Room."

1. I like to go on websites that don't pertain to me. One that I particularly enjoy is a community for people who feel that they were meant to be amputees, like that they should have been born with one leg instead of two, for instance.

2. I've always disliked having such a common name: Jennifer / Jenny. As a child I had a sobbing, screaming breakdown about it, yelling at my parents about what a bad choice it was for me. Once in a dating relationship in which the other person was not from my social circle, I told her my name was "JennyKate" (combining my first and middle name). Then as she got to know more people, I had to tell my friends and family that I had to be referred to as "JennyKate" when she was around. I had felt very cool with that name, but it quickly became a big joke amongst those who knew me, and I dropped it, along with the relationship -for other reasons.

3. Another quirky name story: I was in the Anarchist Bookstore in San Francisco sitting on the floor reading a magazine about home schooling. My younger brother Dave was wandering the store. The store only had a few people in it. The Anarchist, a white man with a beard and glasses, who was working the front desk said to me, "Ma'am, you are not allowed to sit on the floor while you read." Suddenly I felt a surge of adrenaline, of anger, and I said, "Go ahead and call the police." He said, "Really?" Like, did you really just say that. "Really," I said, and went back to reading. He sighed, not knowing how to proceed, his own adrenaline rising, and mumbled, "God, I wish the collective was here!" Then he came up with a plan. Politely he asked everyone else to leave the store. He allowed my standing, well-mannered brother to stay. Then he put a sign on the door letting folks know that it was closed for a bit. He went over to me and said, kind of like a patronizing counselor, "Let's talk to each other about this. I'm Steve. What's your name?" I felt more anger rise in me, and I said, without having thought it out, just instinctively, "My name is Fuck." He said, maybe a little nervous but going with the flow, "Okay, Fuck. I want to talk to you about how it is disrespectful for you not to follow the rules in the store." We entered into an expected debate with me saying that "For Fuck's sake, it's an Anarchist bookstore!" blah blah. As it became more heated, my poor brother began to have an asthma attack and as he pulled out his inhaler, I knew it was REALLY time to go.

4. For OCD reasons, I don't like to touch doorknobs. Luckily I'm a femme and have an easier time avoiding it.

5. For OCD reasons, sometimes I'll walk up to BB at home with a clean sticky roller and start rolling it on hym, on his shirt or pants. Hy'll pull away, kind of smiling but annoyed, and say, "Stopppp!"

1. I absolutely LOVE having my toenails lightly pinched. Something about the sensation is so relaxing!

2. I used to wish I had big boobs but now I can honestly say that I love the fact that I pretty much never have to wear a bra. ;)

3. I can derail ANY subject matter with adolescent potty humor. Srsly.

4. Once as a teen my friends and I decided to go streaking down main street in our quiet little town. The only problem was we didn't realize it was only 9:30pm and pretty much everyone and their mother got an eye full.

5. I can't say no to a double dog dare. No matter how foolish it may be.

great post here!

1- I am a perfume snob. What I wear and what I smell. Cheap bad perfume will cause me to leave the room.

2- I can shoot my shot guns ( 20 gauge and sawed off 12) very well.

3- I hate casual air wasting conversation. People who talk just to be talking

4- I won't drink cheap wine or vodka. I just won't drink.

5- I'm stubborn, hard headed and like being in control

Ok I'm going to give this a try:

1. I can't watch scary movies, cause I really do get scared. I scream and hide my eyes, and will scare who ever is watching it with me, more than the movie, with my antics.

2. People who know me, know I cry in movies all the time. I get really emotionally involved if a story moves me. I will see them watching me, like OK when is it going to happen? Some are kind enough to keep tissue on hand.

3. I bought a swim suit that looked do cute on the model, but it never fit me quite right. It is turquoise, kinda vintage, ruched bodice and has a skirt. Well as I have lost weight, the skirt gets longer. The other day I was getting into the pool at the Y and a little girl said the her mother, "mommy why is that lady swimming in her dress???" Indeed, and I will wear it until I fit into my sexy Victoria's Secret bathing suit, or get sighted for indecent exposure. :vigil:

4. I talk to my cats, and my Himalayan Casanova talks back. He hates it when I tell him no, and he can say it, he will get upset and walk around the house meowing no, no, no......

5. When I get my nails done, I ask them to make the points just a little sharp. The girls will look at me quizzically, and I usually raise my eye brows and give them a naughty smile.

I have perfect visual level the way other people have perfect musical pitch. My own house may be in permanent disarray, and my own floors are off-level by several inches, but I MUST straighten the pictures on the walls of restaurants and others' homes.

Beef must be so rare that it's bloody, or I won't eat it.

I have a thing about plastic surgery. I'm so obsessionally distracted by it that I have trouble speaking to a person who has had 'work done'. (How do I know? I'm a sculptor. It always shows when you mess with form.)

I really enjoy watching others eat delicious food that I can no longer eat.

there's more... lol

some things that make people shake their head at me.

1) I am a prepper and stock pile food and supplies, just in case. I'll even rent a uhaul truck, fill the tank with gas and park it by my shed if I think something might happen. I don't freak out or act strange, I just like being prepared. It drives my family nuts.

2) I let all kinds of shit pile up in my car. I hate it but rarely do anything about it.

3) I carry a small baggalini pursue otherwise it gets filled up with screw drivers, measuring tapes, trash, seeds and a survival mini kit. lol oh and lots of paint samples and screw sizes.

4) I hate taking out the trash. This needs to be someone elses job.

5) I wake up every morning between 3 and 4, plug in headphones and listen to subliminal audio and then fall back to sleep

1) I hate talking on a cell phone. I love texting but can't seem to get people to get that. "I am on a phone all day at work"
2) I am a very sore winner. I rub it in giggles
3) If you hurt me I may forgive but never forget
4) I hate to cook. I cook great but hate doing it.
5) I am one of the most stubborn people around.

1. I am right there with you Passionaria.. except I adore scary movies. I scream, hide my eyes and jump with the best of them!

2. I jump very easily. Case in point: I was leaving the house about an hour ago and completely forgot the wreath that was on the door. Saw it through the glass out of the corner of my eye and it made me jump.
You can stop shaking your head in despair now. lol

3. Excessive noise irritates me. The sound of balloons popping makes my skin crawl as well.

4. I may be a bit frightened of mice.... but have a pet rat.

5. I always put my hair up when I go to sleep. It is quite long (toosh length)and it tends to get caught in everything... car windows, under my arms , cabinets, etc. Feels as if my hair is always being pulled.

i HAVE to have the brownie corners, the pizza corners, the rice krispy treats corners. you get the idea. smine!

overly anything people freak me out....overly critical, overly boisterous, overly talkative, overly silent.

the car washes that make you sit in the car while the car goes through the wash freaks me right the fuck out.

i sing loudly and badly while driving in the car regardless of who may or may not be in it. this is accompanied by head movements, clapping, finger snapping, and arm dancing.

i will not cook for picky eaters. i don't like eating with picky eaters. i don't like cheap eaters, loud eaters, people who dominate dinner conversation, people who say nothing while eating, people who inhale food, people who think sending back spoiled food is rude, people who have no table manners at all whatsoever, people that.....on and on and on.

I rub my upper left side of my lip with my tongue when I’m thinking or working on something….people DO stare when I do! LOL!

I always turn the shower on BEFORE getting in, otherwise the sudden shock of the cold water makes me scream like a Big Girl's Blouse, which then freaks the cats, who give me the look of; “What for you scream?” LOL!

I have specific mugs for different herbal teas – should the wrong tea be made in the wrong mug, I have to pour it into the correct mug before I drink it! :seeingstars:

When chatting on the phone, I hold it between my left shoulder and ear – it can slip and with the scramble to catch it, I’ve disconnected you by accident….it’s NOT that I’m bored of talking to you....honest, lol!

I’m very expressive with my face and my feelings WILL show….when given a gift I'm not keen on, I cannot hide my; “You shouldn’t have! NO REALLY, you shouldn’t have!” :| LOL!

My evening/bedtime/lounging-around-the-house clothes have to match. This means, for instance, that during the colder months my nighties, knee-high socks, and cardigans all have to match.

I have a fairly extensive collection of pig-items, including nick-knacks, statues, curtains, trivets, serving platters, cutting-boards, and even a stuffed pig I sleep with at night (and you'd be correct in the assumption that I do not eat pork. Ever.).

I think that astrology is a crock, but politely smile and nod when friends discuss horoscopes and signs.

I believe that linear time might very possibly be a human construct (an illusion), and that 'all' time could actually exist 'now', that is to say that past and future coexist at once.

I prefer the cold, rain, and snow to warmth and sunlight. Part of this is due to SSAD (Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder, the opposite of Winter SAD), a condition in which sunlight triggers depression and sluggishness.

* I clean while wearing high heels. I do this for a few reasons. One, I do it to break in new shoes. Two, I call heels "the lazy, easy workout to great legs." Plus I get the benefit of being able to reach things.

* I "clean" and I "stage." Cleaning=everything I need to do to "stage." It includes floors, laundry, dishes and all the menial tasks. Staging=details that makes everything look just so. If you ever need your place ready for a photo shoot, family visit, showing etc, I am your girl.

* My Christmas tree looks like it belongs in a magazine. Everyone loves it and comments on its beauty. My boyfriend recently took pics of it so he can show his mom-this is significant because he does not really like holidays.

* I have a love/hate relationship with horror movies. They scare me terribly but if they are ones I am familiar with and like, they make good background noise for a nap.

* Do not ever ask me what my fave "anything" is. I can't ever choose one thing. For example-fave flower? Wysteria growing naturally; gardenia for scent alone; roses for bouquets; stargazer lillies if you want to get my attention. See?

I really dislike being told what to do or that I am wrong. You better be wayyy sure you are right if you correct me.

I really dislike the words "You need to". As in..."You need to clean the kitchen". Using cuteness, humor or bribery to get me to do stuff is way better.

Saliva and teeth totally gross me out. Even pictures of teeth make me cringe...I used to really freak out going to the dentist but have found one who seems to get me and not mind using nitrous when they clean my teeth....even writing this is creeping me out.

I must have music on, or my mind picks an often annoying song for me.

1. Submarine's freak me out. The look of them, the idea of being in one, seeing them in dry dock, and even seeing them when they are in the water, just floating on top! *shivers*

2. I like oranges with crunch. I peel the orange, separate all the sections, arrange them on a plate so that the thin skin can dry out, and eat it a couple of hours later. The skin is dry and crunchy and the inside is extra juicy!!!

3. I organize and purge constantly. Disorder makes me crazy.

4. About a week before my "monthly", I move the furniture around, I mean the couch gets put on a different wall, the tv goes someplace else, pillows get changed. I super clean everything and feather my nest!

5. I have about 9 books on my night stand at any given time and I read them all at the same time. I don't start one and read it completely through. I juggle them all. Geeze I love books!

Me too! The curtain feels weird on wet skin.

I don't like the spitting either but I can deal with it. For me, it's the location of the spit that counts. Folks that brush their teeth in the kitchen sink make my stomach clench. I can get past doing it in the shower. I understand the reasoning behind it, though I can't do it myself, but the kitchen is off limits for that stuff.

I had a roommate that shaved her legs in the kitchen sink. A short lived partnership THAT was.

1. I get obsessed with weird foods, as a rule they are mostly at the extremes of spicy, tart, salty or just plain strange combinations and I'll eat it at least daily for weeks or even months. Example would be a green olive and mayo sandwich, Tabasco on eggs or maybe just putting mango habanero sauce on everything semi-reasonable.

3. I have bad allergies, I should own stock in Kleenex for that one, sux...
also to band-aids, pine trees, bee stings, my own tattoo ink (it welts up now and again, different colors on different days) etc. etc. etc. I'm fairly sure I'm not from this planet... o.@

4. I sleepwalk, pretty rarely, inert things like making food, brushing my hair, texting or putting the coffee in the freezer but may or may not have been known once to tear out of my bedroom before returning to save my gal and the furkids lol.

Cleaning teeth in the kitchen sink *shudders at the thought* is sooooo unhygienic, as is shaving legs, etc....I'd have the industrial strength bleach out! :|

Well, the kitchen is far more filthy from germs than the bathroom....true statement!....but it still icks me out to the nth degree.

I clench mine too. Grind them in my sleep as well.

It's bad for the teeth but good for me because it keeps me from knocking some folks around once in a while.

Me too! The curtain feels weird on wet skin.

I don't like the spitting either but I can deal with it. For me, it's the location of the spit that counts. Folks that brush their teeth in the kitchen sink make my stomach clench. I can get past doing it in the shower. I understand the reasoning behind it, though I can't do it myself, but the kitchen is off limits for that stuff.

I had a roommate that shaved her legs in the kitchen sink. A short lived partnership THAT was.

What!!!??? YOU- knocking some people around!! :)....

I really am a germphobe, so please keep things in the bathroom that ought to be there! And the candles and matches are there as a means of courtesy for others that have to use it too!

What ever happened to common courtesy and thinking about others around us? LOL, guess I'm not good with self-centeredness, either.... and when you grow up with lots of sibs and boarders in a very small home with only 1 bathroom, awareness of how your actions (or in-action, like leaving your mess behind in commom living areas), does seep through.

I get bored with obsessive collectors. It's wonderful your collection of every and any Harry Potter/cat/coffee mug..... related item in the entire world gives you pleasure. Please don't feel the need to share your enthusiasm and gleefulness over every purchase with me.

Clutter irritates me. I'm neither a clean or tidy freak but piles of newspapers, mail, dirty dishes (I don't mean the odd glass or coffee mug) in the sitting room, especially if piled on the floor, makes me want to sweep it all into a bag and drop it in the bin.

I choose not to be around very negative people. I'm a great listener, a supportive friend.... but if you make no effort to see the good in each day or any day.... well, it exhausts me.

Don't bitch constantly about your grown up kids. Either support them with good grace or stop enabling their behaviour. Or.... enable their behaviour and whine to someone else about it. It's ok if you forget because I will remind you.

I won't allow anyone to smoke in my home or car. No exceptions. That said, I won't bitch about how much you smoke or nag you to stop. That's your business. No snogs though :)

I am a procrastinator. I put everything off. I use to think it was because i was so busy but now that I am not busy at all, i still do it.

I sleep two hours, wake up, toss and turn for an hour, sleep two, repeat cycle once more, get up and have my day. Sleep is restless, and I rarely get the rest I desire

I am so not a germ aphobe. I wouldnt shave my legs in the sink, tho. LOL. I think we live in an already too sterile environment and use way too many chemicals to separate us from natural living. From the foods we eat to how we clean our environments and bodies. The more we use chemicals to "clean" the more we get sick as a species.

I havent seen a movie in the theater in a long time. I miss it. But I cant stand the nuisance of other people. I am becoming more and more a recluse. I dont like the outside world all that much

I hate it when people call me, chatter away and then say “well I’m going to let you go now”, it really pisses me off. You were not holding me hostage. I was there on the phone of my own free will. I could have gone at any time. I’ve been known to just hang up when someone says that.

My feet have to be touching something. They can’t just hang out in the air. They have to touch the floor, a sheet if I’m in bed, each other, something, and socks touching them don’t count.

I love animals. All animals. So when I was offered a job as a dog officer I jumped at the chance, thinking it would be something I would love and that I would be good at it. I did it for a year. It was one of the most difficult periods in my life.

I am quite claustrophobic. Among other things centered around that phobia, I have a fear of riding on an elevator unless it is made of glass and I can see out. Through circumstances beyond my control I found myself living in an apartment eleven stories up. Walking up and down eleven flights of stairs every time I went anywhere got old pretty quick. I did desensitization techniques on myself and I always carried a book in case I got stuck so I could have something to do besides screaming and rolling myself into a ball. I am still not comfortable and some days it’s not possible and some elevators are just unacceptable but most of the time I can ride in one without freaking.

I hate drinking out of plastic but I am also fussy about glass. I have to wash the glass several times and rinse it for two minutes to be really happy about my drinking experience.

i hate gross feet. and i will stare at them thinking about how much they gross me out but i.still.can't.look.away. this includes funky toes.

unwashed hands before touching food will make me into instabitch.

i'm obsessed with the cleanliness of my kid's teeth. i must inspect them daily before i'll let him go to school/bed. i'm justified in this obsessiveness by the fact that he's gone 12 years without a cavity.

don't touch my boobies. i don't like it and you're doing it wrong anyway.

i'm so skilled at being vindictive and getting away with it that it's scary because i'm an opportunist. it's so scary that i'm very careful not to act this way cuz it's so harmful but i recognize those opportunities on a regular basis and refrain from acting on them. it's fun to play out in my head though.

I wont drink juice unless I know its literally freshly squeezed from the fruit right before it is handed to me

About the only times I am not dour is when I am with my animals or in my garden. I really am turning into the cranky old lady of the neighborhood...lol

My fashion sense has gone away. never strong to begin with, I have always been a wild card when it comes to dressing, but nowadays, I dress solely for comfort.

Of course I am sorry for the loss of your toenail, Sparkle, I lost a full set of toenails once borrowing smaller-sized shoes for a 10-mile run. But I am suppressing a laugh and of course want know part of the set, where you were standing, and what part you played...

Probably the same piece that taught me to always wear steel toes for an in and an out.....always. I was standing mid-stage, playing the part of a stagehand. Now I'm wondering just how many people that set has maimed over it's running time. Its an awkward one.

Ooh a whole set of toenails! :| *that* is horrible.

...Pretty much exactly as Ryobi described.

It was get out (I wasn't wearing proper footware), we were dismantling the "tower" centre stage, it was like a wooden scaffolding made up of 4" x 4"s, one particularly large & heavy section came down squarely on my foot. :|
I was working as an assistant to the designer for that production.

1. My eyes are photosensitive so I don't especially like the sun and and am pretty damn pale, quite a bit paler than my pics seem to represent. I think the tannest I've ever been was when I lived in Portland, go figure. Fortunately I'm of Mediterranean decent and have some natural color... or I'm afraid I'd become translucent. :P

2. I won't wear shorts, I don't ever wear shorts... e-v-e-r. I'm actually not sure if I've ever in my life worn shorts. All around I am extremely picky when it comes to clothes... very very hard to buy for. Though I have admittedly caved about three years ago for a while to wardrobe additions made by someone who shall remain nameless, awful fashion faux pas (to me), I have since recovered fully, dammit I know better... nuff said, lol.

3. OHhhh, here's one that might be more annoying to someone... if you are driving with me in the car and there's an animal up ahead and you don't slow down prior or move over a little just in case it runs out I'm going to be instantly irritated with you... and I hate hate hate when peeps just say "oh, it will get out of the way" (grrrr), oh sure, of course it will, they always do... roadkills are actually unpreventable suicides.

4. I think people take themselves a bit too seriously, and the more serious you take yourself the more I'm going to laugh if your glasses fall into your soup... and I can laugh hard. BUT, I'm an equal opportunity laugher, if I were to trip and fall into a punch bowl I would laugh just as hard at myself as I would at someone else... just the thought is making me smile now... xD

5. I generally internally question people who announce they "don't like cats"... if you say you don't like cats unless you are allergic or have a phobia I'm going to wonder why. I sometimes just assume that if you don't like them it's probably because they don't like you... cats are very picky about people, more so than dogs and I at the end will just wonder what it is about you that cats don't like... ha.

I wear 2 Maori bone pendants; one of which is the Goddess I was born under and is made of Whale bone. The other has been handed down through my Maori Grandmother’s before I inherited it and is human bone from a distant relative.

I don’t suffer fools gladly (….I don’t suffer them miserably, either, lol!). We all have emotional baggage to a point; be it from previous relationships, family and living life, but, it is how you handle it that matters! If you are a victim of these issues and have not dealt with them, it’s very unlikely you will stay in my life!

I will not use a public toilet unless I absolutely have too! Should I need to, I cover the toilet seat with 2 layers of toilet tissue before I use it. When staying in a hotel or with some I don’t know well, I will take cleaning products with me and clean the bathroom before I use it.

I have extremely thick toe nails. Keeping them trimmed and "sanded" is so important as I have had more than one lover jump out of bed due to my running a foot along her leg and it did not feel good! I use bone cutters to trim my toenails... and sometimes my fingernails!

I love vacuum cleaners. I will stop and go into a store to just look at what's new in suction. Preferred brand is Sabo, but the Dyson pet hair vacuum looks damn good!

I always touch up iron clothes before wearing them, especially formal ware. I sometimes even iron my jeans and shirts just back from the dry cleaners. might be due to having a 1940's closet- so small, the clothes get messed up just hanging in it! But, I don't even get the jeans things sometimes.

I am very persnickety when I study, I must have multiple color highlighters, post it flags, a blue pen, a red pen and a really fine black pen. The paper I use to write on needs to be college ruled, preferably in a spiral notebook. It is almost a ritual for me to lay out my supplies before I study, it gets me into the correct mental space to go through the process.

If I bump or poke someone accidentally and they make a good noise when I do it, I will repeat the action to make them make the sound again

I deeply dig having my boots blacked, it doesn't even matter what sex, gender or orientation, as long as they are skilled and focused

1. People who habitually use a lot of exclamation points in a row make me feel nervous, even through a computer screen. I feel like if I were close to them at that very moment they might be yelling or flailing their arms around.

2. I have a phobia about getting a paper cut in my eye and my friends like to irritate me by making paper airplanes while we're sitting in restaurants.

3. I'm not out at my job because one of the judges is notoriously biased against homosexuals and I don't want it to affect my clients. I resent feeling trapped in the closet by a puritanical old asshole so I always wear very high heels on days when I'm assigned to his courtroom because he's also quite short and towering over him makes me feel authoritative.

4. Sometimes I throw up on airplanes. It always happens when we're taking off so I can't do it in the privacy of the bathroom. The first time it happened I was fifteen and flying to Florida with friends and I didn't know what to do so I vomited down the front of my shirt. It's been almost twenty years since that first incident and a 24 hour fast and Dramamine before flying do wonders.

5. I get regular manicures, which is mostly a waste, because when I'm not working I tend to dress like a twelve year old boy. A twelve year old boy on his way to the skate park with a french manicure and a chignon.

♦ I'm a chronic nailbiter, it's worse when Stressed. My family has tried thousands of ways to deter it, from peppers to money{my uncle offered $150 when i visited Connecticut only if my nails were naturally longer than his when i boarded the plane, given that I was visiting my father to Try and build bridges, I failed the offer..-shrug-}.

♦ If you're eating, and talking, don't expect me to follow the conversation. I need to read lips, watching someone slosh food with every word, isn't appealing, and if it's a Date? You're very lucky if I'm still sitting with u..

◘ If I'm in a rush, I'll take 5 minutes to bathe...if I'm stressed, I'll take 30 minutes, probably 2 more showers later on...Nothing to do with cleanliness, it takes me 5 minutes to get fully cleaned up...The rest is relaxing mode, sort of a comfort from water.

◘ Because I'm Profoundly Deaf, if I really don't want to 'hear' anything at the moment, say an argument, a tantrum, anything...I'll shut them off, take 'em off...It's blissful "silence"...U could bring hell on earth to rain fire on my ass, if i don't want to I won't wear 'em. If you're Deaf, I'll close my eyes -cheeky smile-

♣ Did I mention I'm a very stubborn Redhead?

I do this too. lol

5. I get regular manicures, which is mostly a waste, because when I'm not working I tend to dress like a twelve year old boy. A twelve year old boy on his way to the skate park with a french manicure and a chignon.
Oddly, this is kinda hot.

4. I sometimes tool about town in a tee shirt that says, DYKE
Not so oddly, this is also hot.

i am extremely uncomfortable around umbrellas

1) I am not afraid to burst into song, no matter who I'm with. This makes my mother very nervous and my bestest friends chime in. Fortunately for you I can carry a tune. Unfortunately for you I like to mangle the words of songs intentionally.

2) For example... if my room is perfectly clean and spotless and for some reason there is a sock in the middle of the floor, I will not pick it up. I don't know what perversity there is in my nature which makes this happen, but it's true. I won't pick it up. If you do, I probably won't notice.

3) My books are not shelved in any particular order. Some of my books are not shelved because I have no shelf space. I display even the books most people don't want to admit they've read because I don't go for that hipster crap.

4) Sometimes I find a cisdude hot. Justin Timberlake can bring sexy back to me anytime, and Tom Selleck is still a total hottie. I consider this being human, and nothing to do with sexuality or identification.

5) I still love my teddy bears and apologise when they have to sleep on the floor. Better yet, I don't make them sleep on the floor. I read The Velveteen Rabbit too many times as a tenderhearted little girl.

I have a serious sugar addiction and have to start a sugar free diet soon. I wanted to wait until after valentines day so I could enjoy one more blast of chocolate before I start weaning myself off sugar. Its for health reasons...

I get hung up on old tv shows. I will watch every episode of the Waltons, then turn around and watch all the Brady Bunch shows.

I really dont care for music. Sometimes I can listen to it. Sometimes i feel almost normal about it. But most of the time, I dont like it much.

I take 12 pills a day.And thats way down from what I was taking. But they are all working great!

my fantasy is to have someone clean my house. Because it hurts to move in certain ways, I cant get on my knees, or stretch or push my arms, so I cant do baseboards, or hand scrub my floors.

Hollylane

02-14-2012, 11:16 AM

1. I mostly refuse to take pills, my doctor only halfheartedly offers medication, knowing I will most likely turn them down. I have consistently found ways to recover from conditions, and without pills, so he knows that I am actually fine. I hope this works for many years to come.

2. I do not like the phrase "hot mess", it annoys me. I find it repugnant, and it feels heavy with sexism.

From The Urban Dictionary:

Hot Mess

1. When ones thoughts or appearance are in a state of disarray but they maintain an undeniable attractiveness or beauty.

2. a derogatory term describing a situation, behavior, appearance, etc. that is disastrously bad. Think "faux pas" but times ten. Possible origin is literal (think, steaming dogpile).

3. An attractive person, generally female, that repeatedly engages in situations which could negatively impact his or her social, mental, societal, and legal reputation. Examples include, repeated and excessive alcohol and/or drug consumption, a habit of being ejected from drinking establishments, a general disregard for the law concerning public safety, petty theft from convenience stores/supermarkets, and a voice that is about 3 decibels louder than everyone else.

4. An intoxicated attractive girl dressed in a sexy outfit and heels that make her unbalanced dancing seductively while acting very drunk. Often seen stumbling outside of bars/clubs, slurred speech and unable to keep eyes open for long periods of time.

5. When someone's life is a mess but they are still super hot.

6. Someone or Something that is such a mess... the level of it, is off of the charts. It's past pathetic, past pitiful. It's to the point you almost have to walk away to keep from bustin a gut. Hot messes can exist in levels.

7. When one looks terrible, or acts in such a way that makes them unpleasant to be around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. I dream of dressing little dogs in frilly tutus...

4. I love the store New Seasons, I go there intentionally to try samples, I also do this at farmer's markets. I do buy some things, but I sample most things. This has led to more than a few moments of "Oh my god, why did I put that in my mouth"

5. I will go to a thrift store before I will go to a mall. I personally prefer fishing over shopping.

* I do not like to cook but seem to be able to cook well regardless of whether I have cooked the item before. For example...
Riley-"Can you make chicken enchildas for us this weekend?"
Me-"Sure!" (as I google "recipe chicken enchilada")

* I have a trip planned in April. I have reservations in two different hotels for this trip (same nights at each).

* I am not a huge fan of Valentine's Day.

* I worked how to establish a reputation/name in my lifestyle; now I am working to "overcome" it.

* I am an etiquette Nazi; I am actually writing a series of articles about etiquette.

NO waterspots on the kitchen or bathroom chrome. I'm a freak about it.
I prefer wildflowers to cut flowers any day. A handpicked bouquet of wildflowers tied w/ a ribbon will make me swoon way before a dozen red roses that's for sure.
I prefer semi precious stones to diamonds always. You couldn't give me a diamond that I would wear, ever.
I've gotten a little chubby this year but I'm way ok with it! I feel good.

How about 5 more? :)

...I rarely cuss in daily life, but when angry or frustrated I cuss like a sailor, especially when doing home repair/assembly/maintenance that I don't feel equipped to do.

...I am seriously technologically challenged. I only started texting in the last few years...and still prefer to let my son be the "IT guy" of the household.

...I am anal about the condition of the pool. It needs to sparkle, and there should not be any "stuff" on the sides or bottom. If the wind kicks up and blows in a little dirt or some pine needles...I may need to address that right away.

...I love DisneyWorld. Yes, I know it's a commercialized, over-priced, crowded, exercise in ultimate marketing. I do not care. I love it.

...I accumulate used batteries. I intend to take them in and drop them off at the home center, but rarely do. At the moment there are approximately 4 quart size baggies full of them in the garage.

Next???

1. I do not like the smell of old beer. Beer cans must be immediately disposed of outside. Though I recycle my pop cans, I cannot go and recycle them myself because the recycle centers smell like old beer.

2. When I take my car to the car wash, and it is extra dirty, I say someone else has been driving it.

3. When I am very stressed, I have a hard time not clenching my jaw.

4. I carry dental picks, toothbrush, and toothpaste everywhere I go.

5. I have to check that I have everything I need 3 or 4 times before I leave each morning. Even when I do this, inevitably I end up going back in the house most mornings, because I have forgotten something, or to make sure I locked things up, turned off the coffee maker, and unplugged the curling iron. I have been known to occasionally ask my roommate to go home during lunch (shorter drive for her) to make sure the house and pets are okay.

1. As creepy as it is, if Hollylane posts - I feel compelled to post right after she does. And if someone beats me to it I get all :blink:

2. I have been known to carry as many as 8 tubes of chapstick at a time in my purse. I get all sorts of anxious if I have less than 3.

3. When falling asleep I always hum the same song in my head whilst simultaneously wiggling my toes to the beat. If I get interrupted I have to start again.

4. Just thinking about sharks makes me break out in a sweat.

5. I have considered wearing adult diapers on long road trips just so I don't have to stop and use public restrooms. :|

Dont squash the bread when bagging it at the grosery store...squashed bread is a no no.
Please leave the new clothes on the hanger when I buy them as I hang them in the car so they wont get wrinkned up.
Please hang shirts right out of the dryer..see above.
I am not a morning person so I dont plan anything before noon unless its important.
Dont let this blank look fool you,I know whats going on,if you do shame on you.

Me too!!! It's my morning meditation time. :)

Katy said to me this morning when I came in from cleaning the pool, "Did you make sure to get those two pieces of lint that fell in the pool last night? We wouldn't want anything dirtying up the water!" ;) And I don't want anyone to go in right after I clean it. I need to be able to enjoy exactly 5.5 minutes of it's sparkling beauty first!

1) I'm sometimes in the bathroom for up to 15 minutes at a time at work. Not because I actually have to use the bathroom for that long, but because I really really hate making bathroom small talk about the weather and your weekend and blahblahblah, and will wait until the place is empty to leave.

2) I can't flirt in person. At all. When I try and flirt, I sound like Ross on that episode of Friends where he tries to flirt with the pizza girl and just ends up talking about gas. "You know, not all gas is odorless..."

3) I crave chocolate croissants from the French bakery near my apartment. I wish I had one now.

4) It takes me days to put away laundry.

5) I'm addicted to text messaging, and get pissy with people who don't text back. Text messaging is also my preferred form of flirting because it gives me time to think of clever things to say. Please see point 2.

5 Things You Never Wanted to Know About my Bathroom Stuff:

1. In public restrooms, I will NOT NOT NOT touch the inside door handle without covering my hands with tissue.

2. If someone is pooping in there, I will go to another floor or wait until they are done.

3. If I am pooping in there, I will not come out until everyone has exited.

4. I have to be near death or desperate to poop in a public restroom and then there is an entire procedure I follow before pooping commences.

5. I am actually scared of public bathrooms in the way of evil clowns and ghosts. Public restrooms are creepy to me and look like the perfect place for someone to commit suicide or murder. :|

1. I have a fantastic memory long term and short term, there was a game in my church youth group where you won a prize if you could recite each youth's first and middle name. I won, 78 people total, and still to this day remember each of them.

2. As many have menioned before me, I have an ocd issue with many things, including handwashing. I must wash 3 times, if someone talks to me and i forget, I start over.

3. I like soup. Specifically campbells chicken noodle soup, the odd thing about it? I like it straight from the can. Yum!

4. I always get a creepy feeling in my house, especially at night. So if I have to leave my room for anything, I run there, and run back, and lock my door after.

5. Ive worked retail too long, everything in my kitchen has to be label forward and centered. If its off kilter even a bit it bugs me.

06-11-2012, 02:22 PM

1. I spray lysol on all door knobs inside and out of my home once a week, along with wiping down remote controls, cell phones, counters, any kind of knob (kitchen door knob) or handle (fridge handle) with antibacterial wipes. I also spray my keys with lysol. I even spray my steering wheel in my truck with lysol. lol

2. I will not scrape my teeth on metal. I use my lips instead to slide food off a fork or spoon.

3. I cannot eat fuzzy fruit without peeling it. Examples; Apricots, Peaches, Kiwi.

4. I can't stand lazy people

5. I sit in public places facing the people and doors. I need to know what's coming.

1. I CANNOT step on or walk directly over a sewer grate.... I read IT at a formative age (12)
2. I avoid public restrooms as much as possible....I once drove 16 hours to NC and didn't use the restroom. (I was 16 then and MUCH more neurotic that I am now...tg)
3. I never got over the "monster under the bed" mentality and I CANNOT leave any extremity dangling over the side of the bed. I am CONVINCED that something under the bed will grab me or even just TOUCH me ......and odder than THAT....i even have that problem when I'm on an air mattress.. :|

4. I can't STOMACH the smell of wet peanut butter! When I wash out the empty jars for recycling...let's just say I dont love it

5. I really dislike dolls...can't have them in the house. I dont mean Barbies...I mean baby dolls....just give me the heebie jeebies....

1. I have fallen through 3 decks and am now very nervous to walk on one unless I can walk along the support beam. People really would it kill you to replace a rotting deck board.

2. I do not lend my books out because you would never know my books have been read. I do not bend pages or the spine and I NEVER write in them, not even text books. I will rewrite a whole page in my notebook just so I can make notes or highlite something.

3. I will always choose a self check out before going to a clerk just so I don't have to make mindless chit chat with a stranger, and if the person who mans all the self check outs comes to chit chat with me I will be pissed off for quite some time after I leave the store. Some people find this surprising because I am actually a nice person and will talk to people in the street.

4. I HATE labels or tags left on anything. I will even remove them at someone elses house. Why do you need the label saying it is a 2 litre container, why? Why do you need to know the energy rating of your appliance after you have it home? REMOVE the labels people... or I will.

5. My road trip foods of choice are beef jerky, wine gums and water. But, I hate green wine gums, so whoever is the navigator removes them for me so I do not "accidentally" get one (all my friends understand that this is their job). If I travel alone I stress about finding a green winegum in my hand and will freak and have to pull over if it makes into into my mouth. That is how much I hate green winegums.

Ok, yes I have some quirks... and I don't eat square hamburgers either (what is that about Wendy's?)

1) I have lived in places where there were cults that killed people, nuclear power plants that often leaked, serial killers that were never found, and satanic plots to kill community members

2) I have a haughty disregard for orange junk food...

3) I am deathly afraid to even be in a room where people talk about ghosts or the paranormal...and if you insist on doing so, I will have a literal melt down

4) I lost my brother and my father in the month of September. Its a tough month emotionally

5) I ran away once as a teenager..

I'm kinda sorta OCD... all the way to the point of making sure every item in the cabinet is face front so I can see what I have in stock.

I pop my knuckles out of habit... but then I have to pop toes and any joints that may need it.

I always fall asleep with a movie unless it can catch my attention in the first five minutes... and I cannot get into a movie if I haven't seen it from the beginning. No jumping into it 10 or 15 minutes in... not happening.

I'm a throwback of the 70s and 80s... can listen to that era of music all day long with no problem.

I'm not a happy gy without my morning coffee... just sayin

Here's five MORE things...

I eat cold leftovers straight from the fridge, door wide open and all

I will refold clothes if I don't like the way someone else folded them

When writing in a personally-owned notebook, I start from the last page and work my way to the front of the book

I have to wipe the face of my cellphone completely clean after talking on it or texting for some time

I have to use Pine Sol when I clean, even if I use bleach or other cleaners
"It's not fully clean till it's Pine Sol clean" Addicted to the smell :eyebrow:

I can’t breathe when I wear corduroy.

I always ask people if they want to see a magic trick although I dont know any magic.

I have eaten mothballs, thinking they were candy. The taste stays in your mouth for a very long time.

I always eat chocolate bunnies by eating them feet first so the rabbit suffers. I hack off the feet, the hands, the little bunny tail. Then last, I bite off their heads. If you do the head first, the bunny can't hear itself scream!

I'm petrified of skunks and I'm convinced there's always one lurking in the bushes waiting to spray me.

1) I sleep with a bite guard and a sleep mask
2) I like to leave my ear buds in, on the train, and keep the music off, so people talk around me and think I can't hear. I even nod my head a little, like I'm grooving out on the beat.
3) I eat pineapple chunks and peas out of the can.
4) I use a turkey baster to suction up the water in the saucers under my plants at work, and squirt it back into the soil. It sounds like I'm having a gastronomical crisis in my office.
5) I'm laughing out loud right now like a crazy person, watching Bruno

1) I generally can't sit/lie still for very long. My body is always in motion, even when I sleep.

2) Since my roommate moved out, I have become romantically involved with my anal retentive side. I smile to myself, while strolling across my clean carpets, because I know where everything is, and that if I use it, I will find it back in the same place the next time I want it.

3) When I load the dishwasher, the silverware baskets are each assigned a utensil type.

4) My brain never shuts off, I am constantly thinking of something other than what I am talking about, or doing. This causes me some issues with insomnia.
Years ago, Ellen did a skit, that totally reminds me of myself. If you watch the video below from 6:04, it is the part about trying to sleep (but the whole video is hysterical). Some of this is so close to exactly what happens to me nightly, that it is scary.

3. I don't like to eat chicken on a bone... unless they are buffalo hot wings.

4. I seriously think that I have narcolepsy. If my body is at rest for any given time, I will smooth fall asleep. (ask my honey what it is like to watch a movie with me... if it doesn't grab my interest in the first 10 minutes, I will fall asleep)

5. When I climb stairs, I always count the steps. I have no idea when this started or why.

- I can not dance. Well, not with another person anyhoo. (Slow dancing, etc)

- I realized earlier that usually when I am around animals (other than domestic cats and dogs) it is usually in a dangerous manner, i.e. corralling rodeo bulls, alligator wrangling, snake handling/catching, dangling off the end of a catamaran during a shark feeding frenzy, feeding bears, being chased by rabid foxes, etc....hmmm.

1. I am obsessively organised. That means: I do not leave any loose paperclips on my desk after 7 pm and I shred anything I haven't got a folder for.

2. I'm the idiot standing outside in 40 below weather, smoking a cigarette.

3. I'm cheap. I'm wearing my Mother's reading glasses. She's been dead since 1997. I'm also sentimental.

I have never broken the law or injured another person in any way other than saying hurtful things to others in my life. I have battled a fierce and volcanic temper most of my life until now, and it took many years to get a handle. The reason is because I spent many years fighting for my life (because of things you never want to know.) And if you think you may have a hunch, you don't don't. What I went through in my life is as unspeakable as it is unheard of. I did meet a few nice people along the way...but also met people I never want to think about again.

I'm friendly, but I'm conditioned and a very hard man, from circumstances, other than when I keep things light or exchange with those whom I love and respect in close relationships. Then, I am gentle.

I'm not a liar, a con or untrustworthy—I'm loyal to a fault with proof. But people have unfairly speculated about me without ever giving me the benefit of the doubt or bothering to get to know me. I know what it is to be unfairly accused of things based on misinformation, gossip and heresay. No one knows who I am except for my family and a handful of lifelong friends who know me personally offline. I've weathered this many times in addition to taking on a motherlode of the unspeakable in my private life. But I survived, often times, holding on by a thread and with God's help. Sometimes, I think I should write a book about beating the unbeatable.

Trust me when I say, I have been through severe and rare situations that no one wants to know about...ever. They've impacted and changed me. And those few who are strong enough to know are understanding, supportive and very close to me—it's a close network of wonderful friends.

I am evasive and I prefer to be a loner, touching base when necessary and only when people, whom I trust, contact me. I give and contribute to others, but only from afar. I've changed and evolved drastically. But this way of life is finally coming to a close and time is running short before I begin a new life else where and put these years behind me. I am grateful, happy and profoundly moved by what I will begin. I won't divulge any more; I choose to keep the details of these things private. The point is that there is always hope for the good no matter how difficult life is. I hope this serves as encouragement.

This just brought back a humiliating episode I experienced. It was grade nine and the high school I attended had uniforms. I wasn't sure what shoes to get, so I let my mother convince me to get this comfortable, black, ones with laces. (if my older sister had been friendlier back then, maybe should could have helped me?) I walked into history class and a jerk yelled out, "Hey! Look at those grandma shoes!" I was mortified. I remember his name and everything. The way the whole class narrowed in that moment of shame and embarassment. Meanness sucks.

As a child my favorite cartoon was Pink Panther.

Growing up in the Appalachians taught me many life skills and survival skills that I wouldn't have learned otherwise.

Growing up in the Appalachians and with a very strong woman, Momma D, taught me to stand up for myself and to have zero tolerance for bullies like my next door neighbor who would go around trying to beat up all the girls. From age 4 years to 9 years, I was often his target...until I was taught to put him in his place.

I was once told by another Alpha Femme that the reason she loved being friends with me is that I'm not competitive like other F/femmes she knows.

I LOVE my old 1999 car and will never trade it for a new shiny model. It's the best running vehicle I've ever had even compared to two new Chevy models I owned.

Every time I am here online, my sweetie is sitting right here beside me, as we read forum posts on the boards.

We're getting ready to celebrate our first anniversary this weekend by exercising our passports (again!).

We are in a monogamous relationship with each other because that's how we roll.

I love how he rolls the perfect crepe for our breakfast (scrambled egg, cheese, and spinach, topped with blueberries).

I love hot chili peppers, and often eat them for breakfast.

I love to play hide and seek in the dark.

I don't hold grudges......or rather, I've yet to hold any grudges.

I love a good horror film.

I believe that preparing a wonderful meal for someone is a form of worship.

I don't know if it's a sign of laziness, but I sometimes conduct experiments by either going over the top (dressing up and equally stunning hairstyle) or just leaving my curly hair atop my head in wonkiness, then comparing data on whether one gets more numerical value over another. Usually one wins over another, but lately it's the hastily put-together hairstyle that wins hands down.

I have an collection of knitting and crochet projects that are not anywhere near finished.

I have more triggers now than I ever had years ago. If anyone tips off any one trigger, it's hard to tell what might happen. Most times I just wall out what triggers me, much to my own surprise. Which I'm almost positive can be an huge annoyance for people who don't really know me (at all).

I'm allergic to more than what normally provokes an allergic reaction (massive hives, micro hives, impacts on breathing, etc). Interestingly, as I age, it's a combination of foods, socially irritating situations, weird types of smells, behavioral types of stuff. Interestingly, it's a blessing in disguise because it's actually helping me in so many ways (ie, like avoiding certain workplace employment opportunities).

I'm terribly fussy about the kind of shoes I wear.

1) I sweat the small stuff.

2) Nothing calms me more than a cat purring close to me.

3) As a young person, I once went to the movies at a small movie house in Ohio, and I watched whatever was playing all day. I watched Cyrano de Bergerac twice. The day felt magical.

4) I strongly prefer baths to showers and never take a shower unless it's the only option.

5) Once when I was sick as a child, my dad bought me a plethora of supplies to make friendship pins galore. It was glorious. The sight of a friendship pin still excites me.

It doesn't happen too often, but just the other day someone addressed me as "Sir". I don't think I present as a masculine person at all, but it could be a commanding presence I emit when I'm handling situations that deserve all my attention. Weirdly, it was a feminine woman, much like myself, who addressed me in that way. It nearly always takes me by surprise each time it happens.

I am picky about the mattress I sleep upon because my body does not tolerate hard surfaces or too soft of a surface. I like my new mattress. I sleep so much better these days.

I prefer to wear dresses. When I have to wear pants, I nearly always find ways to doll up my physical appearance by wearing beautiful scarves or by adding sparkly jewelry that compliments my appearance when I have to wear pants.

I am not the best artist or make the cutest craft projects. I have this weird thing about using T-rex tape on certain projects I put together. However, I do like to bang up furniture and re-paint it or age it in some way. I do seem to have some moderate talent for that.

I used to cook the best meals. Now that I can't have all the things I used to bake or cook, I tend to nearly always do it wrong and ruin what I'm trying to cook or bake. I tend to prepare easy to cook things or just go out for dinner or lunch or breakfast. I'm also fussy about water. Finding fresh spring water is not easy this days, since water sources are not as pristine as they once used to be. I actually worry about not having clean water to drink or take a bath in or to cook with. Oh. And I can't stand ice cubes or crushed ice or ice anything, anymore. Ice is not good for your teeth (or so says my dentist).

1) Sheesh, what I wouldn't give to consistently pass as male

2) Frequently irritate folks by being picky about details...fact checker to a fault.

3) Really dislike most fiction. Tolerate science-fiction, but would rather read a science textbook.

4) Prefer Kraftwerk to Mozart and Messian to soft rock or Beethoven's 5th or 9th Symphonies to Opera.

5) Rather be buried in Political Theory than tombs of Shakespeare. Prefer Marxist-Leninist-Trotskyist theory to Maoism

I can kill a lot of time wandering around YouTube
I faithfully listen to two news podcasts every morning, Up First and The Daily
I stop to pet dogs on the street but I always ask first (I ask the owner not the dog)
I sleep with up to three ice packs
My 8-year-old car only has 25k miles on it, I thank it out loud when I get in

1. I forget everything. I'll make a list of shit to buy and leave the list as I walk out the door, to buy shit.

2. Fresh hot coffee every morning. If it's old coffee I'll know instantly. Old coffee makes me want to spit!

3. If I'm in my room and the door is closed, unless the house is on fire or an intruder is breaking in,DO NOT KNOCK!...because my response will make you want to run out of the house..for real.

4. My mess is my mess,I will clean it up myself. Do not attempt to clean up my mess. I know exactly where all my tools are and the latest project I'm working on...leave my mess alone.

5. I live a comfortable life,I don't need or want anything..but this state (calif) needs to get back to business as usual.
