Quirky traits.

[Grumlen]

MB, when it comes to the bit about proving people wrong when you know they are wrong, I tend to be the same way. The only problem is that I don't have your list of source to back me up, so I'm usually forced to fall back onto logic. However, as you may have noticed by now, when someone does prove me wrong I take it in stride. I get the feeling you probably have a hard time with losing arguements, not that it happens very often.

more traites I have

- Shy, very shy, yet I will look people in the eye and talk to them, if I know them in some way.

- forgetful

- Always trying to help, but only to those who need it or want it.

- I can sneak up on people and scare the bajebers out of them! It's strange though I have these shoes on that make lots of sound when I walk at work, but I still manage to scare people O.o

[Captain Kilt!]

- I tend to correct pretty much everyone. I could be walking down the street and correct a random stranger on the pronounciation of "pie." I've successfully forced all of my contacts online into using good grammar and spelling. They grew too tired of me saying "no no no, ____ is spelled like ____."

-I'm late to pretty much everything. I've even had to devise my own time system so I don't get in trouble when I'm late. Let's use 1 o'clock. Oneish is anywhere from 12 to 2, around one is anywhere from 12:30 to 1:30, close to one is anywhere from 12:45 to 1:15, and at one is 12:55 to 1:05. This way when I show up at 1:57, people can't yell at me because I said oneish. This system confuses the heck out of my girlfriend.

-I apologize to everything. If I say anything the slightest bit stupid, I instantly apologize. If I bump into somebody on a crowed subway, I apologize.

-I randomly twitch and make noises like Dr. Frink.

-If I'm in a revolving chair, I will spin around in it until I either get bored or pass out.

-No room I enter stays clean.

*I get offended easily. Secondly, I get pissed off easily. I hold grudges.

*More often than not, once I break up with somebody/get dumped I have a habit of forgetting every single good thing that happened in our relationship. I'll remember, for the most part, only the bad things that have happened. This is easier than it sounds because 98% of my past relationships have been 80% bad.

*I have problems being honest with myself, and others. Not that I like to lie mind you. I just often would rather be content to sit in silence and not reveal any of my thoughts. I tend to look for the worst in everything, and always assume that talking to people will only make bad things happen.

*I like to wallow in self-pity. I am way over dramatic. Bill can vouch for this.

*I would graft my kitty ears to my head if it was at all possible.

*>.>
<.<

*I have a very addictive personality. I'm surprised that I didn't become an alcoholic, which is probably due mostly to forcing myself into limiting my alcohol intake. But I know that if I ever tried hard drugs, it would turn into a full fledged addiction. Which is one of many reasons why I stay far, far away from them. I also get addicted to people. Adversely, I get severe anti-addictions to people easily.

*I feel horrible when I'm the best at something. Which is odd because I really don't have any real talents, so I feel horrible often. :\

*I get my feelings hurt easily, and cry at the drop of a hat. But I usually feel 110% better after crying, and often forget the source of my tears.

*I used to have this aversion to California, for no real reason, but I've grown quite fond of it. If only it wasn't so damned expensive. >.<

*I'm clingy.

*I get jealous easily, but I realize that I get jealous easily, without grounds, so I'm able to control it.

*Without music and books I don't think I'd want to live.

[quote="daemon princess";p="97166"][quote="Elric2056";p="96506"]Daemon Princess: I'm with Down2Earth on this one... not everyone is weirded out by someone randomly flirting with them, especially people like me who are flirts themselves and think nothing of it..
[/quote]

Gah! But it's not flirting. Rule of thumb: If you think Layla's flirting, there's about a 99% chance that you're wrong.[/quote]

I understand that and I can also relate since as I've come to realize that I'm a flirt, but not intensionally so.... what I was getting at was more along the lines of taking what other people generally classify as "flirting" as not meaning anything at all.

[vixendrop]

Alright... I'm less bored now so I can post more of my *quirks*

*I am extremely competative, especially against women and my ex's

*I get jealous easily but try to control it

*I make soap and lotions, but I won't use the ones I make... they just sit as decorations

*I love having plans, not much for waiting to the last minute to decide to do something... my idea of being spontaneous is making plans to do *something* and deciding *what* to do later

*I usually pay my bills late because I keep forgetting to buy stamps

*I don't forgive people easily if they really hurt my feelings... or if I just don't like them for some other reason

*I won't call to order food for delivery, nope... won't do it... but I WILL call to place an order to go pick up

*I snoop

*I talk to myself a LOT... even argue with myself... sometimes I even win

*I want bigger boobs

*I fantsize about being a cat

*I don't have patience for people who learn things slower than I do... and get MAD at myself if there is a subject I can't learn very quickly

*I don't have patience at all... I like instant gratification

*Spelling was always my worst subject

*I don't make friends easily, but once we're friends I get VERY attached and don't let go easily

*I don't like sad songs... period

*I hate being late, and if I'm not 10 minutes early, then I'm late

*I don't interview well... I get VERY tongue-tied

*Anytime I burp I say *Excuse me*... even if no one else is in the room

*I get frustrated if someone doesn't agree with me on something that I KNOW to be true and have facts to back up

*I don't care for kids, except my daughter

*I don't get MAD easily... but when I do it's VERY bad... I try to control it, but I'm been known to throw things... including chairs...

*I don't stay MAD for long though... after about 30 minutes I start crying and then I'm not mad anymore... but I ALWAYS have a vicious headache

*I am pyrophobic

*I hate spiders with a passion, but I hate ants even more... if an ant comes near me I get practically paralyzed with fear

*Same with clowns

Okay... enough revealing about myself again... time to go do other things

[SporkMaster]

Humm, here are mine:

I can´t stop chewing on things, yesterday it was a safety pin, right now I´m chewing the neck of my shirt.

I´m supposed (according to some of my friends) to be a spelling/grammar nazi.

I HAVE to sleep in a white t-shirt, anything else makes me uneasy.

I like to manipulate people, It´s fun pretending they are my puppets...

My room has to be dark. (dark rooms rule, isn´t that right Goku?) When I need light i open the window, in the night I use a lantern (the ones that use petrol) or a little lamp.

I´m very nice to people, but when someone crosses the line I turn into a raging fiend. (Nice story: One day my friends came to my house, we were roleplaying and everything was nice, but someone spilled a glass of coke, then he started acting all retarded and stuff, then he refused to clean just to bother me. I calmly got out of the room, grabbed my Louisville Slugger, came back in and forced everyone out, screaming all kinds of stuff and threatening them with the bat. Good times . )

[Imperator Severn]

I don't hold grudges. I also don't hold friendships. If I haven't seen you in over a month, chances are I don't know who the hell you are.

I can't find it in me to care about people, save a select few. There's maybe 10 people in my life whom I would miss if they were hit by a meteor. I probably wouldn't even notice outside of a range of about 50 people, and then it would be more of a "Hmmm. I wonder what happened to Fred. Ooh, donuts!"

On a related note, I'm usually quite courteous and helpful with people I don't know. I'm not trying to charm them, I just find that it helps me get work done. People often misinterpret this as friendliness, which leads to awkward situations.

When someone I'm not interested starts tellng me about their life, I will sit quietly and think about other things for a while. If, when I look up, they are still talking to me, I calmly say, "I don't know who you are. Go away." For some reason, people find that upsetting.

Some people find "venting" to be soothing. It always makes me feel worse, because when someone asks me to explain what happened, I tend to write a complete account, which makes me remember other bad things that have happened to me, and pisses me off. Killing emotion is far more restful to me than explaining it. Sympathy makes me feel like a whiner.

I don't like to be touched in a friendly manner. If I get smacked in the face and pummeled to the ground during a game, I'll laugh, jump up, and go another. But if someone puts their hand on my shoulder, it makes me very tense. I'm a bit paranoid, if you didn't know.

I'll do absolutely anything if I am dared to. I've drunk bottles of Tabasco, jumped off of roofs, and punched myself in the face. Half the time, I'm just looking for an excuse to do it.

Almost everything reminds me of a movie line. Sometimes it's quite obscure. I laugh and say, "That was a good movie." while someone is talking.



EDIT: When I'm IMing someone, if there's a short pause, I fill it with meaningless song lyrics. I don't know why.

EXAMPLE


[the other person]: Yeah. That makes sense.

[pause]

Severn1836: We take all kinda pills that give us all kinda thrills but the thrill that we never will know
Severn1836: Is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your pitcha on the cover of The Rolling Stone

[another pause]

[the other person]: What the hell was that?
Severn1836: What the hell was what?

[Sir Spankspeople]

Thought of something last night while I was trying to get to sleep:

- I can't sleep without a blanket. Doesn't matter how thin or thick it is, I can't sleep unless I am underneath a blanket. Even if it's blisteringly hot out, I'll still have my thin blanket...

- I can't sleep with sheets. The matress gets a sheet, then I throw a blanket on top. If there's a sheet between me and the blanket, it will be on the floor by the time I wake up.

I have no quirky traits, I am perfect in every possible way.

Except...

* I tend to pop my knuckles without realizing it
* I am extremely clumsy
* I say "what it is is"
* I say "essentially" entirely too much in regular conversation
* I follow traffic laws and study to make sure I am in compliance with the law
* I love fuzzy stuffed animals
* I keep lots of toys and stuffed animals in my cubicle
* I cannot sit still, I have to switch positions every three minutes
* I write with my hand almost in a fist
* I talk with my hands, using big motions to explain small things
* I tend to direct music when I'm listening to it
* When I play the piano I move my hands in really strange ways
* I chew my nails
* I love the fact the sumo wrestlers are fat

I'll think of some more later and post them!

[spoon]

more:

I finish almost every sentence I speak by repeating usually a linking verb and a pronoun, I do. So I'll say things like, "Ow, that pan is hot, it is".

I also contradict myself in the same sentence.

When trapped in a coversation I don't wish to be in, I hijack the topic and turn it into a highly technical debate, during witch I insult pretty much every electronic item my victim owns.

While speaking in past tense I all to frequently use present-tense verbs.

I count everything. Stairs, steps, bumps in the road, etc. Everything. Recently I was told that this was behavior typical of obsessive-compulsive disorder

I tend to be obsessive...
