Little Quirks

I have notice little quirks of family and friends lately that I find bizarre or weird. Everything from my friend's discomfort when looking at watermellon seeds, to my brother-in-laws insisting that if he eats a peanut butter sandwich he has to have string cheese as a side, to my mother's habitual chocolate milk with her hand held solitare. So I started thinking, what are my weird or bizarre little quirks that make up me? And I realized, I have quite a few. Here's my weirdo list:
  • I get ready in the dark, I like my pupils to be big when I'm looking in the mirror.
  • I hate the sound of chocolate milk being stirred.
  • I am a total GLEEK (if you don't know what a Gleek is, then no worries, you're not one.)
  • I pulse my arm muscles to the beat of music unintentionally.
  • I constantly pop my toes in my shoes while I'm standing or sitting.
  • I tap my foot to the dotted lines of the freeway while driving.
  • I like to make up musicals about my life in my spare quiet time when I'm deep in thought, and have ever since I was just a little girl. I hear a song and fit it into "my" musical.
  • I LOVE nights when I can spend hours in the dark listening to my walk-man (yes, I said walk-man. Anyone want to donate to my I-Pod fund?) while I can live in my musical.
  • I find that I get in color moods where everyone in my family wears that color that day (and even my children will have that color sippy cups and blankets) and I don't realize I've done it until someone in public points out how everything and everyone matches.
  • I sing really loud in my car...my poor children.
  • I sleep in a very tight fetal position.
  • I am obsessive about journals. My last journal entry was over 70 pages, typed, single space, 11 pt font. I keep 4 different kinds of journals for my girls (each). And that's not including the scrapbooking records I keep. My posterity is really going to be annoyed I'm afraid. What can I say, I find my life fascinating?
  • I could eat (and do) an entire bag of Mini Cabury Eggs in one sitting. And could go through a bag of chewy Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies in a day. I'm an addict.
  • I cannot stand any object over my face. I have to have "fresh air" at all times.
  • I'll admit it...I swear when I'm surprised/scared.
  • My husband is the only one I have ever kissed or held hands with.
  • I hate bedtime routines. Ask my husband, it's like pulling teeth trying to get me to brush my teeth or clean my face before bed. When I want to go to bed, I want to go to bed immediately.
  • I blow my nose ALL day long. I go through easily 10 tissues in the first half hour of my morning.
  • It hurts my teeth when I write with a dull pencil.
  • I say things that my husbands says I should never admit (hence this list :)

That's probably enough to classify me as weird. So, what are yours I'm curious. What's your weird quirk?
