<p>i will not talk until spoken to
and i will remain dead quiet if im with a group of people and the conversation has no interest to me, which happens a lot</p>
<p>I don't launder money...but I have been known to iron it. When I come across some really gnarly, rolled up, excessively creased bills...I put them aside and later if I'm doing some ironing I'll take them, moisten them with spray starch, and iron them until they're crisp and flat again.</p>
<p>Beware: Some money (generally from Western Asian nations if I had to generalize) has a lower flash-point than U.S. currency. Don't get too cavalier if you try this out.</p>
<p>I always check my watch when I'm about to cross the street in the morning to get to my bus stop. And for some reason, It's ALWAYS 08:01 AM when I look at it.</p>
<p>I have to be looking in the direction form which my bus will be coming. I can't look in any other direction.</p>
<p>I can never sit in a window seat except on a plane. </p>
<p>I always make-up and write down several excuses before I do something I'm not supposed to. Then I use them accordingly - modifying whenever needed.</p>
<p>I always say "Mmm..." before answering a question. Even it's something I know. I once did it when someone asked me my name lol!</p>
<p>I try to justify everything.</p>
<p>For example, if I get bad grades I tell my self that I don't even care about school and grades. That they are meaningless.</p>
<p>If I ask a girl out or something and it goes badly I act like I didn't really want her the whole time.</p>
<p>I have to hug a pillow while I sleep. And I always sleep on my side.</p>
<p>I have to be at least 15 minutes early for any appointment.</p>
<p>I cover my mouth when I laugh - I have no Idea why.</p>
<p>I count tiles as I walk on them and I always walk in "L"s on tile floors.</p>
<p>I walk into places with my right foot, never my left.</p>
<p>I don't like the smell and feel of newspaper.</p>
<p>^^ I love the smell of newspaper.</p>
<p>I hate the smell of Chinese dumplings.
The first thing I do when I wake up is to look for my glasses which I always manage to put in different places.
Sleeping on my tummy gives me nightmares every single time..some of which are fun :) but once one was very scary and I woke up crying with my pillow completely wet.
I sleep always with my hair down and to study my hair has to be tied.
I can't stand large areas of the color yellow and orange.
I don't sing in the shower but come up with random poetry.
When I'm thinking hard I play with my earrings.
Wearing purple jewellery seems lucky.
I have to check that the doors of my house is locked before I sleep if my family is away.
I feel horrible when I kill mosquitoes but if I don't then I still feel horrible when I get bitten.</p>
<p>I posted this in the "off-topic" thread, but...
My biggest psychological problems would have to be:</p>
<p>1.) I get extremely sick-feeling and very pale when I see or even hear about blood or AIDS. In AP Bio when learning about the heart, I was staring at a picture of a dogwood tree and singing "Ring around the rosy" in my head to avoid the conversation.</p>
<p>2.) I cannot urinate when someone else is in the room or sometimes the next room over. No matter how hard I try not to concentrate on it or pretend they aren't there, I just cannot go. It is extremely exruciating when I am on a long trip or something and have to go really bad, only to find that I can't go and, to avoid embarassment, I just leave and wait an hour or two until the next rest stop.</p>
<p>I have almost countless other quirks, not as deeply psychological:
[ul]
[<em>] I am right-handed and wear my watch on my right hand.
[</em>] I play trombone and I must empty my spit-valve every time there is a rest, even if I just emptied it.
[<em>] I hold my pencils/pens really tight and close to the end, with my pinky closest to the tip. When using markers, that finger always turns really black.
[</em>] I misuse cutlery...I guess I hold my fork upside-down and I do something wrong with my knife, too...I dunno, but I get picked on for it.
[<em>] I don't like poultry.
[</em>] I sometimes do that laser/corner thing that ChaosTheory mentioned. [/ul]</p>
<p>Oh, another one:
When I eat skittles, I must obey the following fules:
1.) I can only eat them in groups of three or five
2.) When eating five at once, one of each color much be represented
3.) When eating 3 at once, those three can be of an arrangement of colors as long as all three are not the same color</p>
<p>It generally works out just right if I eat multiples of 3 first in such a way as to leave exactly the same number of every color to go on to the groups of five. Of course, I have to start with a fairly large number and can't have more than half or so be of the same color to begin with.</p>
<p>-When eating cheezits or any snack that small, I eat them two at a time.</p>
<p>-I always fall asleep on my left side</p>
<p>-I can't sleep with anything fleece touching me. It's just too soft, it's horrible. I almost had a panic attack when sleeping at my best friend's house because she had a blanket made out of fleece. It didn't help that there were three people in the bed and I was squished.</p>
<p>-I hate socks, especially socks on guys.</p>
<p>I am deathly afraid of spiders. In biology, we were doing work on a page which had a picture of a tarantula on it, and I kept the page covered the entire time with my folder [never my hand].</p>
<p>When I was little, I thought skeletons with needles would poke my back in the middle of the night, so I had to sleep with a third pillow covering my back while I slept (I sleep on my side). I still sleep that way.</p>
<p>-I'm terrified of going outside/walking in thunder storms. Rain doesn't bother me, I even went out a walked around in a hurricane, but if it's thundering and lightening I get scared.</p>
<p>-I can't sleep on my back.</p>
<p>-I don't like being touched by other people unless absolutely necessary! This also applies to certain belongings (iPod, cell phone, calculator, etc). If you do touch me or said belongings after I have told you not to, I will either scream at you, cry or hit you depending on how I feel.</p>
<p>-I can't study with some one sitting next to me. I also have to have my hair up or tucked into my shirt collar while I study.</p>
<p>I like to donate my PC's spare time to <a href="http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/%5B/url%5D">http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/</a> and help cure cancer and AIDS ;)</p>
<p>I count the number of times I blink a minute and make sure that it is a prime number (most of the time 23).</p>
<p>Whenever I smell a skunk, I'll look around for signs and find a word that begins with the letter A and progress through the alphabet to Z.</p>
<p>I play the piano but refuse to play anything in F major, it's just an evil major.</p>
<p>I like to assign pet names to some of the elements on the periodic table. Sodium, for example, is Fluffy and Pb is Mario. Some of the names don't really have anything to do with the nature of the element but more to do with the arrangement of the letters.</p>
<p>Whenever I need to get erasers, I'll buy a pack and let my friend use them first to break them in. I don't like the new eraser smell. I don't like the new car smell either because it nauseates me.</p>
<p>One more thing is that I cannot look at monitors. There's something about staring straight into light from a monitor that gives me a headache. That's why I use a projector instead. Reflected light from a projector doesn't bother me.</p>
<p>I chill runs down my spine whenever I eat with my hands.</p>
<p>I play with my ears when I'm nervous.</p>
<p>I love the smell of cigarette smoke in the afternoon but never in the morning.</p>
<p>I sleep like a fetus.</p>
<p>I sniff my nails.</p>
<p>After I say something to someone, in my mind I narrate things like a book. So if I'm talking to my mom and say "hi", my mind goes "'Hi', I said"...the "I said" thing has gotten out in normal conversation a few times, which is very awkward.</p>
<p>I can't stand the smell of an empty school cafeteria.</p>
<p>I hold my pencil between my index and middle fingers with my fingers all bent and scrunched up. </p>
<p>I love to pick at scabs.</p>
<p>I love to itch mosquito bites.</p>
<p>I am only ticklish on my lips and on the inner sides of my knees.</p>
<p>I pinch my lips when I'm nervous or thinking with my thumb and third finger.</p>
<p>I sleep on my stomach with one hand on my stomach with a certain stuffed animal between my elbow and my side and the other hand just rests flat by my thigh.</p>
<p>The door to my room has to always be closed. </p>
<p>I hate air conditioning because it feels like fake air and the thought of it makes me not want to breath. Yeah, I hate airplanes.</p>
<p>I'm the opposite of touchy feely. I hate people touching me or hugging me or touching my shoulder or any of that business. Like HelloKiki.</p>
<p>I always have to graduate on a year that's a multiple of four, because that's a special year. It's always the leap year, the year of a presidential election, the olympics, etc. It's why I won't take a gap year before college. haha I know it's weird, but it's hey, it's true!</p>
<p>I can "taste" things by smelling them. </p>
<p>btw- not related: D'yer Maker, how old are you? I thought you were in high school. You're married?!? Do you have kids or something? Whoah. Really, I thought you were like a senior in high school or something.</p>
<p>whenever I'm stuck talking to someone I don't like I:</p>
<p>-play around ir fidget with anything in my hand pretending to be absorbed in some kind of amazing discovery within it.
-Look the opposite direction, never once making any eye contact with the person.
-always saying stuff like: "Uh-huh", "Yup," "nice..." "keep your voice down, please!"</p>
<p>all of that just happens without me even thinking. I do it without even noticing.</p>
<p>And what I really go not understand is how those people in question can NEVER TAKE A HINT!</p>
<p>I always end up making excuses like: "my cellphone is vibrating. I'll go answer it somewhere really far way." then I'd cme back and say I really had to get the hell out of thre as fast as i could.
or, "oh my God. look at the time! I just remembered I have to go visit my Aunt who lives on the other side of town. Bye!"</p>
