Something You Do or Have Done that Folks Tell You isn't Normal

Here are some of my quirks:
1)I like going outside when it's dark or it's raining.
2)I like to sniff book pages and also bend them because I like the sound.
3)I day dream about being in hopeless situations: (i.e. My boyfriend is the mob bosses son, and I'm caught up in their trouble. Getting kidnapped, or followed. ect..)
4)I tear apart my bagle piece by piece and put cream cheese on it just before eating it.
5)If I just wash my hands and I tough something right after(like a "dirty" part of the faucet I need to wash them again or it bugs me forever.)
6)I listen to my music VERY VERY quietly.

I'm sure I have a lot more, but I can't think of any this second.

7)I was thinking more about the doll thing, I remembered having one of my barbies being a sex slave.
8)I liked and like chewing on wash cloths, towels, and yarn.
9)My imaginary "friends" were objects(i.e. The toilet/bush/a tile/a house/the car.) I didn't have many friends growing up.
10)Sometimes I like the smell of my own farts.
11)I still sleep with my blankey.

Something I used to do that was fucking disgusting was...suck on dish rags. Like, dirty, wet dishrags. Now I'm gagging just thinking about it.

1. I newer wear socks at home even in the winter
2. I talk to my self in public
3. I breed to heavy
4. I use complicated words and have a wider vocabulary than the average teenager.
5. I forget what i was saying in the middle of a sentence
6. i only got 4 friends

I am sure it is a lot more but I cant recall anything more at the moment.

Me Too, I would always sleep in the day with my eyes open until I was one.

My friend introduced my to book sniffing. New books are my favourite unless they are textbooks, which usually smell awful due to their glossy pages and bad glue.

[cradle]

I had my way with my neighbors cat.



Haha joking, I wore a hoodie in the summer once.

Ditto-- but it gets worse. I can't go to sleep unless my feet feel clean. If it feels like I have toe jam or dead skin or a cuticle out of place on my feet, I have to do a pedicure-touch-up before sleeping.

I'm a trichotillomaniac. I pull the hair on my hands using my fingernails. It's a compulsion, and it actually prevents me from doing things at times.

I sleep with my Popples, and have since the day I was born. Yes, Popples even joins me in bed when I sleep next to my boyfriend-- but I turn her face away if we're going to do anything grown-up.

Popples is a "she" today, but as a child I told my parents that Popples could change his or her name depending on his or her mood. Popples was Sally Kondonna as a girl (I don't know where that name came from, though) and Jack as a boy.

I hate cleaning my room and only do so when my roommates threaten me bodily harm, but I love cleaning community areas and other peoples' houses.

I have an extra bone in the knuckle of my middle finger. It doesn't do anything, just creates a bump on the palm-side. If you feel it, you can actually push it around a little.

I own an illustrious collection of dress-up clothes including several wigs, a tutu, a couple pairs of wings, tiaras, and quite a few $10 prom gowns from Goodwill.

I don't like showering or bathing but I love swimming. Don't think I'm gross or unclean, I shower/bathe often and am perfectly hygienic, I've just never been one of those long-hot-shower-to-relax/soak-in-the-tub people.

I'm a candle addict, and I like to light dozens of candles in my room even when I'm all by myself, and to just sit and read a book by the candlelight. Yes, I know it's bad for my eyes. I don't care.

I haven't gotten laser eye surgery because if I stop wearing glasses, I'll feel like I need to wear makeup.

My parents are rich as hell, and I have $2 to get me through the next 2 weeks (excluding gas money) because I'm too proud to ask for a handout. It's a good thing I stock up on non-perishables.

[A Simple Poet]

I have the "jimmy" legs, I twist my fingers constantly until I am certain to have premature arthritis, and it may or may not be anatomically possible but I swear I can feel my blood swimming inside me. These may sound ridiculous, but I assure you I am just a little bit out there you know.

[Zenit]

Ooh, the sniffing of book pages...hmmmmm I do that too, especially with really new and really old books. For some reason the smell changes when it's raining...

[DarkHeartedDemoness]

The smell of books... Or of everything? I'm going with the latter, personally.

[Arashi]

Some strange things I do?
1. I wear a dog collar. A real dog collar, not one of those gothic studded collars a bunch of people have, but a reddish/purpleish dog collar.. Everyone tells me this is odd, yet I do not see the big deal..
2. In 90 degree F weather, I will commonly wear all black, layers and layers of clothing, jackets, and knee-high boots. While in winter, I go out with no jacket, breezy materials, fishnet tights instead of normal ones, et cetera.
3. Stuffed animals. Tons and tons of stuffed animals; mainly little dogs.. I carry them around in school.
4. I have an aversion to bare feet. I DEPSISE them, to the point that I will yell at anyone who has exposed feet to "put those nasty-ass things away!"
There are more, but I'm brain dead right now. xP

[Haunted House]

I can barely swim. Its odd even for me. I guess thats why I don't like to swim unless its kinda shallow.

Does anyone else like to pop pimples just to see the puss come out? ...or is that just me? O____o XDDD

LOVE that. I have been able to refrain from doing so to anyone else's skin, so far, though.

I once found that amazingly fun to do, however, I rarely ever get pimples.. xp

[Godslayer Jillian]

I'm eating! ¬¬

[DarkHeartedDemoness]

Then don't browse here, mister! We're going to talk about popping zits.

One time, long ago on a Halloween night, I was slipped somekind of drug in the fun punch. It was a night not too different from tonight.

I was completely blacked out. Going home with my former boyfriend, we arrived home at our two bedroom apartment. Drunk and out of it I wanted to go for a drive.

Going up to the mountains, I must have gone hiking through the woods. Coming out of blackout, I was in a tree. Assuming I climbed up the tree I saw an eerily glowing creature. It glowed green through the forest. Blacking out again I found my way home somehow.

Later on, asking my boyfriend about the evening, because I could not recall any of it, he said I forced the keys away from him. More than that he said I threw a ball of energy at him. It was then he gave me the keys.

Of course I do not remember the event and have to take his word on it. I was very upset. No one will ever know the real truth.

Apparently, I had driven to the mountains on my own, without getting in an accident. It was hard to believe and to this day I never the drink fun punch.

Boo ha ah!

Boo he ah!

[Dancing_in_rain]

Hehehe...I've been thinking I should write my "quirks" down more often so that I can give them to new people I might...sort of as a Beginners Guide to Meeting Me. I tend to puzzle people when I meet them.

- I have an odd obssession (yes, it is an obssession) with Llamas, capybaras (fat rodents) and OSTRICHES. I love ostriches.
- Dancing enjoys referring to herself in the third person. it drives other people insane and makes her laugh hysterically.
- I am unusually social and friendly. You know the weird loser who walks up to you at a really crowded event, extends their hand and says, "Hi, I'm so-and-so" ? Ring a bell? That would be me.
- I swear in Français when speaking English and swear in Mandarin/Spanish/Arabic when speaking French.
- I will dance to anything. Really anything.
- I will sometimes feel like I am choking and cannot breathe. This tends to happen when I am at school and will sometimes happen when I'm in the middle of a mass of people. I'm a little claustrophobic, but this is not claustophobia.
- I solve the above problem by sticking my head as far out of the window as it will go. Or I go outside, often in the middle of winter and I won't feel the cold.
- When it is raining, I have an irresistible need to dance in the rain. Hence my name. It is when rain-dancing that I come up with my best literature ideas.
- I sometimes go into a 19th century mode and talk with long, flowery sentences that grace many of mathematical answers in my educational pages of calculations, which make my esteemed professor rather frustrated at my extragavagant ways of explaining the crucial concepts that I should be explaining in a more simple and less perplexing matter. That was a bad sentence.
- I talk to myself. A lot. It drives my sister crazy.
- I will suddenly, randomly burst out into song and then not be able to remember what I was saying, thinking or doing beforehand.
- I have really really really bad short term memoy loss.
- I sometimes have a strange urge to bake. Which I promptly do. Then I polish off whatever I have just made.
- WHen I am really angry, I walk around muttering things under my breath and glaring at people, which has caused many of my classmates to have diagnosed me as a perpetual PMS-er.
- I never leave books on the floor next to my bed. They worry me when they're there. I put them under the bed while I sleep. (Which lead to a lot of screeching during my school trip, where I slept on the top bunk and threw my fat versions of Shakespeare's works and The Satanic Verse under my bed without thinking about the person sleeping underneath me. Oops.
- When thinking, I stare blankly into space, not really seeing whoever is in my field of vision, which creeps people out as they think I am staring at them. They tell me I have an intense glare. I wouldn't know. i tried glaring at myself in the mirror but it didn't really work because I went off into a daze, which brings me to my next point...
- I go off into dazes/trances and am completely oblivious to the world while in one of them. When this happens in Math class, my friend Kay pokes me with her pencil and blasts Visual Kei (The GazettE) in my ears. That tends to sort of wake me up.

So yes. That's what I can think of so far. May write more later, but right now, it's raining. i'm going out.

[DarkHeartedDemoness]

When I was in 10th grade biology, I found lab write-ups so incredibly dreary that I wrote them all from the perspective of the Flaming Kangaroo, a plants-rights-activist and superhero that likes oreos and to imagine his life is an old detective novel.

[bleedingheart344]

I really, really love getting my blood drawn. Can't call it a fetish but it is very pleasurable.

I don't really get them either, but when I do I try to refrain from it because I'm afraid of scaring my precious face. 0:-)

[mrs.wes straker]

I barely ever "match" by some people's standards. Last week I was told that I was the only person who could wear all black and still not match. Oh well.

The people who say this isn't normal look like Macy's or 5.7.9 just spat them out.

Sometimes I have that problem, too, though. I hate it when my blacks don't match. Like a pretty black skirt and then a faded black shirt. Ew. Bad.
