<p>I have a hard time eating with my hands (ie if I'm eating burgers i cover them with napkin or the burger wrap)</p>

<p>I sleep hugging a pillow, a plush doll, a blanket wrap, backpack, etc.... (obsessively needed of a hug? xD)</p>

<p>I dislike hair conditioning</p>

<p>I can't study at home</p>

<p>What is hair conditioning?</p>

<p>Something that some people use after shampoo. Many people i know use them separatedly - a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of hair conditioning...
Many brands combine them so that there is shampoo and hair conditioning in the same bottle. The thing that annoys me about hair conditioning is that it leaves my hair with an oily, unreal feeling... weird? xS ;)</p>

<p>"I sleep hugging a pillow, a plush doll, a blanket wrap, backpack, etc.... (obsessively needed of a hug? xD)"</p>

<p>Ha, I do that two... I'm not really conscious of it... it just feels comfy, I guess. The funny thing is that I dislike hugging in 'real' life. I don't really like being touched =P</p>

<p>Do you have thin hair, pikasof? I use hair conditioner, but that's because my hair gets really knotty if I don't.</p>

<p>1.) I have a mole on the back of my neck that I sometimes use as an outlet for evil by "pressing" it in unpleasant situations. </p>

<p>2.) I chew everything I drink. </p>

<p>3.) I associate five different people with my fingers. I am the index finger, this fat boy I've known since fifth grade that is a communist is my thumb, this tall boy named Graham is my middle finger, this Pisces artist is my ring finger, and this very small, quiet girl is my pinkie. Every time I am anxious, I make sure to touch my index fingers together, when I want to feel strong, I touch my middle fingers, and so on.</p>

<p>4.) I am a lefty, and I hate my parents, who are righties. Therefore, I associate everything right with them, so when they are lecturing me, I make sure that my right hand is not touching the left side of my body.</p>

<p>5.) I pace rabidly in circles whenever I am on the phone.</p>

<p>6.) I hate feet, too.</p>

<p>I make sure all the doors are locked and closed before I go to sleep.</p>

<p>When I'm on the computer I wrap my legs around one of the support poles of my desk.</p>

<p>I was traumatized when I did ballet. See, right after a long class we usually had modern class, and we had to take off our shoes and roll up our tights. </p>

<p>Bare feet just creep me out now, especially in hot weather outside.</p>

<p>I just broke my Space Cadet Pinball personal record, it's now 22,594,820.</p>

<p>I always call "hair conditioning" "hair conditioner." Someone mentioned air conditioning earlier so I thought maybe it was one of those two things with a typo.</p>

<p>I always study on my bed and take my shoes off in class. I have an unusual affinity for inductors. I eat EQUAL directly from the packets. I leave for school at the last minute, so I'm always almost late to class, despite living five minutes away from school. I sometimes take days to respond to Facebook posts I could have responded to immediately, because for some reason replying gets put on my to-do list, so it ends up sharing priority with homework and whatnot. Sometimes I wish I could join the Army.</p>

<p>-yanking on my chest hair helps me think better when taking tests
-same with rubbing the bridge of my nose in a vertical motion
-farting relaxes me
- indian music > rap music for pumping me up before a competition or major test
- I use shampoo on my butt hair
- following up on a childhood habit, I use baby powder to make my body silky smooth before heading out to school.</p>

<ul>
<li>I always have to have a book in my purse. I feel naked without it. Even if I'm not even reading a book, I pick something off my bookshelf to put in there.</li>
<li>I REALLY hate: "Eye-rack" and "Eye-ran". No, you don't do either. </li>
<li>I write with my wrist turned vertically. </li>
<li>I find aimlessly going through Bed Bath and Beyond terribly, terribly exciting.</li>
<li>I always dig my ring fingernail underneath my thumbnail (on my left hand).</li>
<li>I use yiddish words expressions alot. Atleast, alot for a shiksa living in a cornfield who would normally have no knowledge of Yinglish.</li>
</ul>

<p>Clendenenator:
yess i think it is called "hair conditioner"... I sorta translated it from Chinese... </p>

<p>PurpoisePal:
my hair is actually very thick.. but it's the typical Asian super straight hair... no curl can stay up for more than 30 min.... -.-"</p>

<p>"typical Asian super straight hair" I'm Asian but I ended up with wavy hair...it used to make me look like the lion at the zoo, but now that my hair is loong it looks okay.</p>

<p>This is the most interesting thread! You are such fascinating kids. Most members of my family (I am an adult) have things like this. I used to when I was a teen, the strangest probably being that I had to say the word "Budda" out loud whenever I saw a Volkswagon Bug (got embarrassing on public transportation). That went on for about a year. I was phobic about having anything touch my wrists and about eating white foods, too. Those things have totally gone away. Later when my kids were little, I would watch them play and imagine the most awful accidents, and they would play out frame by frame in my head like a slow-mo movie! It's a wonder I ever took them outside. My sister has a strange one: she can't sleep unless the open ends of her pillowcases are facing in the direction of where the majority of her 4 adult kids currently are. My older D has the skittles thing, too. Very very anal about it. She has a thing about counting, and about everything being in odd numbers--like the volume on the TV has to be 31 or 33, not 32. All of this may sound OCD, but the difference is degree. The girl with the dorm door issue may have a real problem, but I think the rest of us are just a little odd. lol!</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

[/quote]
</p>

<p>I feel that if I can't add anything to the conversation, or if I'm not being talked to directly, I don't say anything. However, if the subject steers to something I like talking about, I jump in as if I were talking the whole time, and it can be awkward sometimes</p>

I don't like the smell and feel of newspaper.

-I can't study with some one sitting next to me.

[/quote]

I can't study, listen to music, read, or do anything on the computer if someone can see what I'm doing. I'm secretive in that way, but have no reason to be.</p>

<p>I also hate socks and shoes. If I had it my way, I'd be barefoot 24/7.</p>

<p>I am incredibly forgetful. Like I'll be told to do something then forget it immediately. At the same time, I remember random stuff from years and years ago.</p>

<p>Late at night right before I sleep I recap the whole day and do a bunch of "could have, should have, would have" and replaying conversations, what I should have said, etc. It's why it takes me 2 hours to fall asleep.</p>

<p>When every I leave a message over the phone on an answering machine, I don't know how to end it, so I rush saying "OK, bye" right before I hang up. </p>

<p>I make elaborate plans in my head and never follow through with them. I've made hundreds of goals, plans, etc and havn't done jack. I'm more of a thinker than a doer I guess.</p>

<p>I like to clean my ears a lot.
I hate when people touch my stomach.
I always have to have music on when I'm on my computer or doing homework, pretty much all the time actually.
I also do the samething as Venkat, I make all these goals and plans in my head and then never follow through with them.</p>

<p>I like the feeling of q tips in my ears.</p>

<p>I have a habit of counting my fingers often. I think, subconsiously, I'm afraid I might lose one of them or something.</p>

<p>I don't think that falls under the category of quirks, Ninja. :)</p>
