MysticFireTopaz -> RE: what are your eccentricitys...... (12/12/2006 10:20:30 PM)
Here are some of my eccentricities: Can't sleep without a light on. In order to motivate myself to do things, I force myself to do them for a specific period of time (including setting a timer so an alarm goes off, LOL), then give myself a reward if I perform the task for the specifed time. I do the above at work, then forget I set the alarm and get up to do something else. The alarms going off drive my co-workers crazy. I also enjoy timing subs, including setting the timer, and will punish if they don't finish whatever it assigned to them before the alarm goes off, or reward them if they do (if so inclined). I wear an article of clothing one time and one time only, then wash or dry clean it. I am told that is strange, but it seems normal to me. I take 17 different vitamins and supplements every day. Sometimes I talk to my cats in their own language, i.e. meowing. Lady Topaz

I order the clothes in my closet by type (t-shirt, long sleeve, mock neck, turtle neck, etc.) and by colour (dark to light (ie dark blue to light blue, then red to pink), right to left). I eat all of whatever is facing me on the plate, then rotate the plate counter-clockwise to eat the next thing. I can't sleep with any hint of light in my room, and I have to have a fan or air purifier on. I can't abide anyone else washing or touching my underthings. I was them by hand and iron the ones that can be. If I get annoyed at someone, I tend to hiss at them. Sometimes I make rat faces at them too. When I get bored for a length of time (say a week), I HAVE to take it out on my hair (colour, perm, whatever). That's it for now... I don't want to sound too... hmmm... mental? odd? D.

These are 2 that come to mind and I've often wondered why I do them. When I'm putting on my shoes and socks it go like this....left sock right sock. left shoe right shoe. It absolutely has to be in that order. I've tried mixing it up and I have to go back and redo it the "correct" way. When I'm putting the clothes in the dryer I count each piece. This makes no sense to me because I don't count them going into the washer and have no idea how many should be there.

wufeisgirl -> RE: what are your eccentricitys...... (12/12/2006 11:10:08 PM)
i cannot sleep without a light on, either. When i tune my violin, i have to start at the tip of the bow. HAVE to. i have to wipe off foggy windows. And every time i see a foggy window, i have to write 'hi' on it. It's different every time--either in style or the language. i also have a grammar OCD.

I can't eat food on my plate that someone else has sampled from my plate - they get the whole thing. But I can eat whatever someone has cooked after seeing them sample it right from the pot. Go figure. I can't stand going bare foot or putting my feet in shoes/slippers once they've touched the floor... even if I'm wearing socks. If my socks touch the floor, I have to change them before putting on footwear. I carry on conversations with peoples pets... I'll talk for the animal, and answer back. I've found senior people tolerate this better than younger people. Even younger people who would be ripped apart by a magnet 'cause of all the metal in their bodies. Anyone else notice this?

I can not STAND bad book handling, it's so bad there are certain people I will never loan books too. My mom for instance, once had a brand new book's spine totaly broke in half and the cover ripped off from poor treatment. when she reads a book she makes no efforts not to break the spine and will even smoosh the book down on the bed when she puts it down, as if somehow pusshing the spine down will keep it from going anywhere. Bad book handling is a pet peeve of mine and will put you on my bad side for a very long time if you mishandle my books. quote: ORIGINAL: missturbation I cant bare anyone bending book spines or turning page corners.

smilezz -> RE: what are your eccentricitys...... (12/13/2006 12:36:47 AM)
I have a thing about squares. I have to count them, i have to count the lines i see IN them, they will equal to a certain number.........i am not sure what that number is until my mouth tingles. (don't ask, i can't explain this part) I can't have my food touching on a plate unless it's something that i like to mix...example: mashed potatoes and corn. (our plates are square too) I don't enjoy circles.........it makes me feel like i am trapped in them and i can not get out. (again, don't ask) lol The cans of food on the shelf in the kitchen are lined up either alphabetically or by how many cans of each. The labels are always facing forward. I give people numbers in my head so i can remember their names. I have a thing about numbers and adding them, so i can remember numbers much better than a name. I have to count four steps before getting on an escalator. At a restaurant.....when done eating, i HAVE to stack all the dishes, silverware, glasses at the end of the table for the server to pick up, then wipe down the table myself and put all the condiments back where they belong. It's the appropriate thing to do. There is more, i have not had near enough sleep or coffee yet... Happy Wednesday...... ~smilezz~

LeMis -> RE: what are your eccentricitys...... (12/13/2006 1:40:54 AM)
and here's a couple more: -will not eat chicken noodle soup UNLESS I am sick -NO crackers in my soup -I can NOT stand people using my bathroom -I can't stand hearing someone use the bathroom! -I like to come home to total quiet, whether it's lunch break or after work or waking up... (I want to relax or wake up easy) -I strongly dislike the colors: orange, yellow, green, brown -while I dislike doing dishes, cleaning house, etc... I don't want someone else doing it either (would rather do it myself later) -shirt tags, tags must be inside - even other peoples when standing in line ahead of me [&:]

LaTigresse -> RE: what are your eccentricitys...... (12/13/2006 9:25:48 AM)
Okay, now I am feeling positively slobbish, unorganized, lazy, among a few other things. I know that my cupboards and closets would drive a few of you batty. Tigress to answer the pen question it is a Uni-ball (rollerball) Jet Stream bold in black. The last time I ran out and was forced to use a horrid Bic I ended up cursing and throwing it in the general vacinity of the boss. He quickly went to Staples for another package of my pens. And oddly, I prefer circles and curves. I am not comfortable with along of harsh angles in my enviroment. And I dislike symmetry. I like things to be more a reflection of nature. I like the messiness of life, the imperfections.

deadlylover -> RE: what are your eccentricitys...... (12/13/2006 9:44:13 AM)
I like blanace at times. An example would be our Christmas play. They did a sign language song and had the manger in the middle, and kids on either side and two in the middle. They had to be even. It was killing me there was more kids on one side, one only in the middle, and a smaller amount on another side. So I moved another kid to be bowing in the middle at the end, and everything was fine. Same number of kids on each side, perfect balance, and I was okay. When we go shopping for groceries, I'm the only one allowed to put the things up at the check-out line. There is an order to it, and everything has a place where it goes. Frozen/cold food stays with each other. Boxed food with its own kind, etc. I hate it when people throw things up on it haphazardly. Annoys me to no end. I used to have the add up the numbers on road signs and count the yellow lines. It was becoming a bad habit of mine to do, to have the same amount of numbers going back and forth on our usual routes, that I had to break myself from doing it before it became a full-blown habit. Just a couple of my eccentricites..I probably have tons more, no doubt.

None here (cough, cough). You are all Fruit Loops, though....snigger.

quote: i was just writing and email to petruchio and in it i was naming some eccentricitys...and it occurred to me, nosy bugger that i am, that i wanted to hear my friends eccentritys.... so you guys....what are they? i like sitting in my hot tub in the pouring rain, i like brushing my tounge till i gag, i only do my dishes standing on one leg, i sing to my dog with a puppet on my hand, i sleep on my couch and my bedroom goes unused in my house, i enjoy using the handicapped scooters in walmart for no other reason then they are fun, i have thousands of dollars of art in my closet but my house is covered in sea turtle pictures that i framed from a sea turtle calendar, i named my bunny slippers, floppsie and moppsie and refer to them that way. I can't bear to see someone's shirt tags hanging out. My fingers itch to tuck them in and its almost painful to see it. I have tucked in tags of complete strangers. It embarrases people I'm with but people always thank me. I always custom order food in a restaurant. I have to eat one thing at a time on my plate and I rotate it so that the item being eaten is directly in front of me. I don't like for food to touch but I'll handle it. If someone touches or takes a bite of food of my plate I can't finish what I'm eating. I'm fine if I take the bite and push it onto someone elses plate but if their fork/spoon/chopstick touches my food I'm done eating immediately. I have to read the entire menu even if I know what I'm ordering adn I've been to the restaurant a million times. If there is something around me with writing on it I have to read it. Ketchup bottle, dessert menu, wine list, cereal box etc. I have to read it or get antsy. Any candy/food wrapper must be folded into the tiniest square or rectangle possible before throwing it away. Boxes are broken down and flattened before being thrown away. I have to turn off lights and close doors whenever I leave a room. Propped open doors in shops or restaurants drive me crazy. I hate using public restrooms or bathrooms in strangers houses. I always dry the bathtub/shower/sink completely after running water in it. All hangers hooked on a rack or closet must face the same way (backwards). Its hell to go shopping this time of year! There's dozens more...until I started writing them out I never realized how eccentric I am.
