Whenever I'm in my neighborhood (A generic little townhouse-town where the entirety of the space directly in front of houses is for parking0 and a car goes by, I duck behind a car or another object so that if the car started a drive-by, it wouldn't have a line of sight to me.

Oh gosh, lol. Are you really paranoid or is it just a thing you do?

When I'm eating colored candies or fruit snacks, I sort them by color and eat the orange and yellow ones first. They're my least favorite. >_>

If I accidentally stub a toe, I purposefully stub the same toe on the other foot for equilibrium's sake. Likewise, sometimes if I have an itch on one side of my body I'll scratch the opposite side too.
Oh god, that's like me when I walk. I always have to take an even amount of steps because of equilibrium.
I also always start walking on my left foot and stop on my right, which is an excellent trait for marching band.
When I make one-worded lists of things, I go in alphabetical order. Backwards.
  • Zero Suit Samus
  • Zelda
  • Yoshi
  • Etc.
When I list things by color, I go in this order: red, blue, yellow, green, orange, black, purple, brown, pink, gray, white, and any other lighter colors of the ones listed.
When I eat, I have to have my rice approximately the same size as whatever the main dish is.

The last things I HAVE to do before bed is pee...

Even if a just went and turned off a light in another room, before I go back to sleep I have to go to the loo. I think it's in my head, either that or mega-weak bladder..

Personally, I don't care how long I stay up, but I need to wake up before 10:00 at the latest.(my goal is from 8:30-9:30) I just get really angry if I wake up later than that.

Do you back up on your toes as well? I do =(

And it was annoying when there were a group of band people walking somewhere. Eventually someone would look down and realize that we ended up in step.

I remember from a high school County Band festival (if you want to call it that, it was one day only) someone was wearing one of those top 10 T-Shirts - it had a Marching Band theme. The only one I remember is "walking in step with someone else", but I laughed when I saw it, 'cause everything was true.

I was only in my HS Marching for 2 years (9th grade/10th grade), but, if I haven't mentioned it already: if I see I'm out of step with someone, I still do it, even if I have to alter how I walk. I catch myself right away too, but I can't help it. :chuckle:

Another thing I do is with the music on my iPod/iTunes. The first one mainly involves iTunes, but if I'm in the middle of a song and get interrupted/it skips 'cause a web page is loading, I have to restart. Same thing if I happen to drop the earbuds while I'm out somewhere. I pick them up and the song goes back to the beginning.

Hell yes. My friends and I stopped walking in step two weeks after marching season ended. I also walk (not march) to the tempo of whatever song I'm listening to. If it's a slow song, though, I walk in cut time.

Cossack, I do the same thing with my ipod. I restart the song when I miss a part, even if it was playing and I just got distracted.

If I miss a part of a song because I had to leave for a second, phone, or whatever I do the exact opposite and skip to the next song.

I kind of do that. I don't walk in perfect time, but I speed up/slow down depending on the tempo.

heh. It's a habit I picked up when I first got the entirety of Queensrÿche's Operation: Mindcrime album (from '88) from iTunes. Since it's a concept album, it annoys the hell out of me if I miss part of a song.

I literally cannot sit still when I am on the phone. I cant stop myself from getting up and walking around the room or the entire house whenever I get a call. I also cant watch just one thing on tv. I have to have at least two shows to switch back and forth through (but that may just be a guy thing, my dad and granddad do the same thing)

Speaking of the above poster's rapid fluid-drinking habits, I can go through a liter of cherry seltzer in an evening without a problem. Mmmm.

I'm big on DDR and whenever I play, I always crack my knuckles before and after every single song.
When I touch a basketball, no matter what the situation is or what's happening, I put it around my back.
And when I'm listening to classical music, I ever so slightly swing my head in the conducting pattern for the song (4/4, 6/8, blah blah blah...)

Oh yeah! I do the same thing! I absolutely cannot stand still if I'm engaged in an interesting conversation. Sometimes, when I'm talking with the friends who always call me I can sit still, but if it's anyone else, I HAVE to stand up, stop what I'm doing and walk/pace around everywhere. Usually I just go outside cause there's more space outside... and then I regret it because the mosquitoes feast on me. -_-

Whenever I'm alone, and I sneeze, I have some strange paranoia that a monster will jump out and yell, "God bless you!"

I do that too

For me, absolutely not even touching cigarettes or butter physically....feels so dirty and revolting to me. But the cigarettes on is a product of my parents smoking

I always wash my face after eating chips.

Drain the water from top ramen.

Make sure the bathroom door is locked at least four times , sometimes even while I'm already in the shower.

This is odd. It's like a game I play. Religiously. I have a watch that I carry around in my pocket. If I look at it, and the seconds digits say "00", I must tap the watch once for every concecutive "0." Examples:

11:45:00-2 taps
20:30:00-3 taps
10:00:00-5 taps

Yes, I use military time. Since at midnight, my watch only displays "0:00:00," and it's only worth five, I use "11:11:11" and "22:22:22" as bonus six pointers.

I also have this odd......feature. Whenever I clench my teeth, I shift the top and bottom rows slightly. Somehow I managed to turn it into talent, even though only I can hear it. I can actually make beats using only my teeth. I can do numerous drum patterns and copy multiple songs. If only there was a way to share it with the world....

Don't remember if I've mentioned this already, but when I lie down in bed, I always end up making a full 360 turnaround within 30-minutes to an hour before falling asleep. By the time I make a full turn is when I get KO'd 'till morning. It's almost like my body's counting down untill it actually falls asleep.

I have always loved insects/bugs/spiders. I used to really obsess over them when I was younger. Whenever someone finds a big spider, fly, centipede, etc. in my house, I'm usually the person to deal with it. I only kill insects if they are really annoying me, but I try not to kill spiders. That probably distinguishes me from most people, but here's how I see it: spiders keep the insect population in your house under control, and most of the time they keep to themselves, so just leave them be.

Okay maybe I'm just crazy though
