Habits and tics

[AngusMcLeod]

When home alone, I sing a lot.

Recently sang a bit at school and people made me realize I'm good at it.

i always have to be chewing something/doing something with my hands if im stationary
so ill be chewing on a pen or the end of my glasses
and i crack my knuckles/fingers a lot as well as bite my nails

When I was little I always wanted to be some kind of various animal

To the point where I would imagine I had ears/a tail nearly constantly. Every now and then the "ghost awareness" or w/e pops into my head still. But what I can't get to go away is that I somehow figured out how to isolate the muscles that make my ears lift/push back/push forward/turn slightly and it's become unconcious to "direct" my ears to whatever I'm listening to.


I also unconciously play with any zippers/strings/tassels/etc on my clothes and sometimes other people's clothes or like backpacks or w/e without even realizing it. I actually put a short in Tuxedo Mask's auxiliary cable for his ipod in the car from coiling and uncoiling it around my fingers every time I sat in the front. I won't even know I'm doing it until someone points it out to me and then I feel bad about it haha.



I can't really think of anything else??? I used to have so many more but not so much in the past 3 or 4 years.

When doing some mundana repetitive task, I make up little systems/patterns for doing it and I stick to it.

For example, when playing Pokemon games I walk through grass in a predictable pattern everytime instead of just taking the shortest route. There are other times when I do this but that's the only example I can think of.

[AngusMcLeod]

I have some long booty toes and really flexible legs

this is really useful when you're lazy

[shazza]

Chewing on nails/cuticles is one of those "things" that just drives me absolutely batty. My mother does this and the noises it makes auudghkdfhh

That and I don't understand how someone can let their hands look like that and not put forth effort to stop it. Especially if they express an annoyance with how their fingers look because of the fact that they bite on them and yet still don't try to fix the problem. I am really particular about how my nails look so it is very hard for me to understand the "compulsion" part in this and I sometimes tend to be pretty unsympathetic about it >>

[creakyAccordion]

On the toes thing, I'm always too lazy to bend down and close my guitar case with my hands, so I do it with my feet.

Latches and everything.

[Game Angel]

I noticed when people keyboard mash, they usually stick to a certian pattern (like what hand or row they use first) or location. I stick to the home row, for example. Some folks only use the left side or the bottom row of keys.

also i use question marks too much in casual conversation??????????

[Terraem]

I can also pick up things with my toes, so I guess that becomes less and less special.

I don't bite my nails but I kinda scratch at them.

I have conversations that will happen in the immediate future or ones that I already had with myself to think about what I and the other person will be saying or what could've gone better. I'm pretty good at conversations.

I can pick stuff up with my toes too but it's not like i do it regulary ahaha, only if i couldnt be bothered to pick like a pyajama top up that was going in the wash in my bedroom - i wouldn't do it to like pick the tv remote up or anything like that ahahha. I bite my fingernails too and bite my lip sometimes, but i don't do it much now.
