Ooh, I do that Mountain girl!
If I'm on a bus and sit next to this window, I put my head on it and let it bounce off and on as the bus jostles around. (I'm sure I've lost many brain cells doing this.)

I imitate a noise a hear without realising I'm doing it. It started off me just trying to figure out how to make a noise like an animal instead of just saying "moo" and "woof" like in Nursery, because the teachers always bugged me when they said things like that. Now it's become a habit, so much so that if I hear a car alarm on the TV or something, I'm instantly copying it and only notice I've done it when someone tells me to shut up.

I can't cope with silence either.  Silence is my life! Well, my preferred life. Me too! I love sitting in silence! I've gone a whole blissful weekend with the only sound I heard being the tapping of my keyboard and mouse. then the family returned and it all went to shit. I like to beat the microwave too! I have 2 pillows, sometimes one if the pillow is big enough, but I can't stand 3. It hurts my neck. I never move in my sleep. If I roll over, I wake up to do it. Otherwise, I wake up in the same position I fell asleep. I have to crack my knuckles at least once a day, in 3 different ways. |

I'm always shaking my leg. I have to move it at all times. The same with my hands. I have to be doing something with them at all times. If I'm done eating, I'll pick at my food or play with my straw wrapper or napkin.

Oh and I have to write on 1 side of a page in a notebook and leave the otherside blank. I have plenty of notebooks that only have writing on the right side.

When I'm eating raspberries I have to lay them on my tongue without letting it touch my lips and then crush it against the roof of my mouth, not chew it.
With curry I always eat the plain rice first, then the rice with sauce on it, then the actual meat pieces.
I always save the best bit for last, so any meal with meat in, the meat gets eaten last. I eat my least favourite things (generally vegetables) first to get them out of the way and make sure I eat them, and if I'm feeling full by the time I get to the meat, I'll still eat it because I can never not eat it. It's easily the best bit. That way I make sure I eat everything on the plate.

another one......I can't eat all the food together, I have to eat each thing separately. ex: I have a plate with meat, cottage cheese and salad. I eat the cottage cheese first, then the meat and last the salad (not always in that order, sometimes I eat the meat, or whatever, first or the salad). I can't take a bite here and there of stuff, I have to eat the whole thing and then go on to the next. I also, sometimes (used to be worse when I was younger), can't let my foods touch. I'm getting better at having everything mixed, especially after my mom taught me to mix my scrabbled eggs, gravy, potatoes, biscuts and bacon (or sausage) together. that is now my favorite breakfast when I get it.

I can't have any of the food I eat at home touching or running into each other. An example of this is that my peas can not touch my corn even though they are side-by-side. This quirk does not happen when I eat at a restaurant but only when I am at a family setting. It's to the point where I unconsciously do it and only remember after I eat.
I found out that the only person who shhares this quirk in my family is my uncle who can not stand any kind of rice. It is to the point that if he is at a restaurant he will order them to take the meal back and take the rice off the plate.

If I write in notebook paper, I have to write every other line (unless otherwise instructed) and then switch the pattern on the back side. So like, 1,3 and then 2,4 pattern.
I cannot use public lavatories unless I really have to go. Even if it's cleaner then an OR, I refuse tk use it.
And I need a minimum of two pillows to sleep, and at least one pillow has to be a hard pillow.

That reminds me of another of mine. I'm fine using public bathrooms, but I rarely feel like I have to go unless I'm at home. It has happened before that I need to go to the bathroom in the morning but I would be late to work if I don't leave right that second, so I tell myself I'll go at work. But when I get to work I get distracted by something. Eight or nine hours later, I'm back at home, and suddenly feel like if I don't get to the bathroom in the next ten seconds, I'm going to explode.

I think that's just a home thing, when I'm at home I need to eat like, every hour, but if I'm out doing something, I can run on a bowl of cereal for nine hours and not feel a thing until I get home and think, I'm going to die if I don't eat now.

Yes, exactly. Things distract us from our own bodies. The hunger thing doesn't really apply to me, ever. I never really get hungry, just too weak to concentrate anymore. So I can go all day on a couple bites of candy and not even realize until about 4pm.

I hate going in public restrooms. I prefer waiting until I get home unless I'm desperate. I hate listening to other people using the bathroom. It's weird I know.

It's not weird because I do the same thing. I only use public restrooms when I really have to go and have no other option. I find it extremely awkward using a public bathroom because of others using them aound me. |

I have quite a few actually. Instead of doing other things while I wait for the microwave to ping, I stand and stare at it. No idea why, I just hate to leave if, even if only for a few seconds, and then stop it at 1 second  If I'm in a queue and someone is being too loud or annoying, I will leave and go to the back, or go back later. When nervous I crack my knuckles and my back and my toes, bite/pick at my nails, pick at split ends and then chew my hair. All in that order. I cannot go to a public restroom. Especially the school ones. I always have to wait till the end of the day. When eating a McDonald's I eat my two cheeseburgers first, then my chips, or if I have chicken nuggets, the chips then the nuggets. My eye twitches (a little) when I'm angry - I noticed that a few weeks ago. And I cannot stand people singing along to a song in public. Unless its a whole crowd. When it's only a few people, I get really annoyed. I think I got this because most of my family are terrible singers. Oh! And at the end of exams (or if I have any spare time) I end up plotting my escape if a disaster or something happens. Or how to save the day. Know what I mean? I've got a few more, but I can't remember them. -drops head on desk- I might get back to you on that. |
