Reminds me of a Simpsons quote: Smithers: Oh, Mr. Burns, we'll thaw you out the second they discover the cure for seventeen stab wounds in the back. How are we doing, boys? Frink: Well, we're up to fifteen!
I thought eating all the french fries first was a behavior conditioned in Junior high/middle school. If you didn't eat them first, everyone else at your table would grab at them. Now I only do it when eating alone. My new eating B.I. is trying to have the same percentage of food on my plate as someone sitting close to me has. (Don't people know that food tastes better heated than at room temp?)
as RM95, Buck and Major can attest to...i have an extremely odd affection for the new light rail trains downtown. i mean, it's really kinda creepy, frankly.
i'm fairly certain your girlfriend thought i had the mental capacity of a 5 year old. which frankly, isn't far off!
wow, someone else does this? i'll click back and forth between the time and the alarm time to make sure they're both AM instead of the alarm being a PM time and i'll go back and forth like 5 times to make sure. usually i just have to turn the alarm on once, but sometimes i'll do it twice. hmmm, what else is there: when i was younger, i wouldn't step on cracks. even now, i'll catch myself lengthening or shortening a stride to miss a crack. my first step on stairs is always with my left foot and when i step off it is with my left foot, whether i have to skip a step and put both feet on the last one before stepping off with the left. i think it has something to do with being lefthanded and being pissed off that the world is so righthanded (always only had righthanded scissors in school) and subconsciously this empowers my lefthandedness or something. i do lots of things in 5. sometimes when i'm reading a sentence i'll do it 5 syllables at a time all the way through. if the last group of 5 finishes the sentence i'm glad, if it ends with only 2 or 3 by themself, i'll read the last 5 together before moving on. sometimes i'll even do this with individual words. like say "education". i'll have to read it a certain way in my mind to get 5 syllables out of it, like "edu - c - ation" or "e - d - ucation." if i touch my thumb to one side of a finger, i'll then touch in on the other side, then on that side but closer to the middle, then back to the original side closer to the middle, and then in the middle. and if i feel like i didn't hit the middle just right, i'll do it over again. damn i'm weird.
I can't stop touching myself. That's not really an idiosyncracy though, it's just that I'm really sexy.
i don't think i do this quite as much anymore but it's something i've definitely done a lot and that my family definitely notices. i often eat my whole meal before drinking anything also (unless it's spicy).
Me too! I also cut all my enchiladas, steak, fish, chicken into little squares before I eat them. I also dip my club sandwhich in a pool of ketchup before each bite!
