FOR FUN! What's your thing?

[AndreaBurns]

Okay...most of us have a "thing" that others might think is just plain crazy...or in some cases....stupid. But we have them and they are a part of us.

I have to eat an even number, when it comes to candy. I can't just have 3 or 5 M&M's... it must be 4 or 6, or whatever even number I desire.

I too eat Frosted mini wheats, frosting up, and also must have my sheets smoothed over before bed.

I also have the compulsion to check on my son every night before I get into bed.

I have my spot in the corner of the couch. I can't sit on the other side. If my DH is sitting in my spot, I will stand there till he moves. Its bizarre... I just can't do it.

I must have my feet "extra covered" when I am sleeping. This means and extra blanket... or just something heavier across my feet.

When I am sleeping, I CANNOT have my ears exposed. In winter I'll sleep with the sheets pulled over my ears, in summer, with my hair covering them. This goes back to being a child and rationalizing that vampires won't suck my blood if they can't get to my neck. I know... I'm a weirdo.

T Shirts~ when they get washed, they always turn inside out. So that's how I put them on. I go in head first, then pull it over my head and insert arms last. This turns it right side out.

There are rings of mine, that I have to wear a certain side faceing me, bracelets too....

What about you?

[InLoveWithDOTS]

LOL, I loved reading your list, it totally made me laugh! I blogged about this very thing a few months ago and lovingly called them "Rachael-isms".... they included the following:
1. I like to name my days of the weeks. Yes, if you have been reading this blog for any length of time, you probably knew this because of "Guilt Free Digital Tuesday", LOL
2. I hum. I hum like crazy and not just when there is music. I can most often be found humming hymns from church or from children's tv shows. I am usually not even aware I am doing it and when I become aware I abruptly stop, lol. This is in fact a step up from the "buzzing" I did when I was a child. I wish my Mom were alive to retell that story. She laughed and laughed about it.
3. I say "So listen" WAY too much. Again, never realized I did this until a friend pointed it out and now every time I say it, I laugh.
4. I don't like fluffy pillows. I like a flat single pillow folded in half. In other bedtime related info, I like to sleep with one foot out from under the covers. I also rub my feet together before I fall asleep.
5. I can't bake without singing into the spoon or spatula.
6. I type fast... really fast! The kind of fast that makes people in my office come over to my little cube to watch... and I only use 2 fingers!

as well as several others! :)

[SheScraps]

I have to have at least one leg under a blanket or sheet when I'm sleep.
I refuse to drink water from the faucet...just can't do it. I'm a water snob!
When eating a sandwich or burger I eat everything but the last bite. Don't know why...I just do.
I can't go to bed at night until I've checked all the doors and windows in the house...even if dh has assured me that everything has been locked.

[SheScraps]

Rachael...sorry but I can't stop laughing at the rubbing the feet together thing. Almost sounds like a fetish. ROFL

Great thread Andrea...this is gonna be fun learning about everyone's little quirks and habits.

[sinead]

I have my spot in the corner of the couch. I can't sit on the other side. If my DH is sitting in my spot, I will stand there till he moves. Its bizarre... I just can't do it.


You're the kid in the class who sits in the same seat all semester long, aren't you? Me, too. I even went so far (when I was in school) as to get to class 10 minutes early so that nobody would take my seat! I'm a DORK!

I proofread EVERYTHING--menus, forms at the doctor's office, ads, newspapers, books that I'm reading. It's a sickness. It's not intentional--just happens. (And no, don't worry--I just notice things, I don't make judgements about the people who have written such things, especially on internet forums!)

There is a certain order to the way I load my dishwasher. Things must be grouped together and facing the right way (like tines up for forks). DH NEVER does this, and I always just come behind him and "fix" it.

Oh, I wash my dishes fully before I actually put them into the dishwasher. No pots and pans in there, either.

I feel sure there are more. I'm a freak. :tongwink:

[TraceyLee]

nobody is allowed to put away dishes in my house. they never put them back right and it drives me insane! example: spatulas, wooden spoons, and other 'for cooking' utensils absolutely positively do not go in a drawer. i have a container on my counter for them. i've been known to go ballistic on someone who put a spatula in a drawer. :D everything in my cabinets is sorted. plates are matched by style and color (i'd be perfectly happy if i had a complete set and nothing else, lol). plates are in two piles on the bottom shelf in the cabinet, bowls are on the next shelf up, tupperware and serving bowls are on the top shelf.

clothes must be turned right side out before folding (can i say that i literally cringed when andrea said that she puts her shirts on inside out? lol!).

i, too, have MY SPOT on the couch. actually- i have two of them. i won't sit anywhere else, just one of those two spots.

i must have my own blanket in bed. dh has his, i have mine, and all is right in the world. :D

i can not go barefoot inside. i must have shoes on, even if i'm wearing a nightshirt and just going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. when i get out of the shower, i dry off while standing on the mat, put on my pants, then i put on my shoes before putting anything else on.

[noralong]

Oh, this is a good thread! I can identify with most everything I have read here!

I cant' go to sleep if my ears and nose are covered, and dh is the opposite.

I eat my cold cereal dry, and drink a glass of milk with it.

My food must not touch! I would be totally happy if fine china came compartmentalized like cafeteria trays or TV dinners.

I can't drink soda pop with anything dairy, like ice cream.

But my main entertainment in life is adulterating what other people say. I totally mess it up and repeat it just for the reaction. For instance from the first time I said it, until I die, Jacque Custo will be Jacki Crusto. People always correct me, and it makes me laugh.

[sinead]

Oh, Nora, you and my DH must be related! He doesn't put milk on his cold cereal either, and in his glass of milk, he MUST use a straw! To go even further, he eats raw (and dry) oatmeal...doesn't even add water or anything! ick!

He and his dad are the worst about mangling names. File Manager is File Mangler, Longhorn Steakhouse is Short Horns, Outback is Snoutback, Red Lobster is Red Mobster...the list goes on and on and on!

Oh, and I'm with you on the food not touching thing! It's a tough thing to cope with in the South, where everyone wants to have you eat casseroles that have everything all jumbled up together!

[scrapsandsass]

These are too good... makes me feel more normal. :)

I have to have my tummy covered when I sleep. Even if it is really hot, I have to at least have a sheet over my tummy.
I usually eat M&Ms two at a time and I will suck on them until they melt. I used to sort them by colors and eat the green last, but I've gotten beyond that now.
I won't drink out of a glass when someone else drinks out of it. Even if it is just a sip.
I don't like to get into a shower that it is already wet/used. It is okay if I'm the first one in and turn the water on to get it warm, but I hate it if someone takes a shower before me.
My socks have to be perfectly white. My DD borrows them sometimes and I can always tell because they are never perfectly clean again. Between us, we probably have 150 pairs of socks. When I'm sorting/matching, I always sort by the degree of un-whiteness.
After almost drowning as a child, I can't put my face in water. I don't get my face wet in the shower unless it is only the right half or left half at a time. I wash one side at a time.
I also hate having wet feet. (hmmmm... I'm sensing a strange water theme here)
I can't drink milk unless it is ice cold right out of the fridge, but I can't drink ice water... it has to be room temp.

[TraceyLee]

oh- something that i forgot and kimberlee reminded me of it...

i suck on Hershey's kisses. no chewing- just sucking until they melt.

[InLoveWithDOTS]

Rachael...sorry but I can't stop laughing at the rubbing the feet together thing. Almost sounds like a fetish. ROFL

Bahahahaha....... a friend and I learned one night while on a girl's weekend that we both do this..... she shared that her college room mate heard the noise of the rubbing and thought it was something else........ rotfl............ I was dyin' laughing when she told me the story...........

[d2vasquez]

Oh my gosh what a fun thread.....hmmm, let's see

I have to have ice cold milk or I will gag. If it isn't cold enough I will drop in a couple ice cubes to make it colder.

I have to have a brown sugar softly toasted pop tart each morning on the way to work with a cup of coffee - doesn't feel like my day has began until I had my pop tart. I have made special trips to the store just to make sure I have my pop tart. :)

I too have to be the first in the shower - we have issues with the water and whoever gets in first gets most of the hot water and the other gets lukewarm water. I have been known to flush our toilet in anger which causes a huge spurt of ice cold water to come out on the person who dared to get in the shower before me. :)

I like lots of pillows - a couple for my head and then one I just hold around me - think that came from being pregnant and never finding a comfortable position to sleep in.

Everyone needs to be showered and ready for the Monday by 5:30 pm on Sunday night - I start to get antsy and a bit ummmm not nice if we are out and about and not home before then. I kind of feel like my weekend is over and we are on work mode and I just like being able to rest without rushing the last bit of Sunday away.

I won't eat the last remains of cereal or chips - don't like the little flakes of food that comes with it.

Will not eat oatmeal because I start to gag when I "feel" the texture of it in my mouth - have issues with cottage cheese too.

When I am irritated with someone and I can't let them know I start shaking my leg under the table, desk or chair.....the angrier I get the more it shakes....kind of funny I guess.

When I drive to work - I drive the same route and pretty much stay in the same lanes - I somehow think (not sure why) that it makes me get to and from work faster.

[SarahJ]

i do not drink brown pop. no cola, no dp, no root beer, nada

i have to be covered up when i sleep, at least part of me. don't care how hot it is, i have to. oh, and my mouth has to be covered. i don't know why.

when I eat M&Ms i either have to put them in the microwave to melt them or hold them in my hand until they melt a little

i hate it when my feet or hands feel dirty.

there is nothing i hate more than when people pluralize things using apostrophes. it makes me nuts every time i go to SBB and it says "scrapbooking at it's best" aaaaaaaaack!

same as Tracey...dh and i each have our own blanket. and we don't sleep with a flat sheet on our bed, just the blankets. i just realized that poor Bean's bed is the same way!

what is with all my weird bed habits? i sleep with 3 pillows- 2 for my head and one next to me.

every once in a while i will start humming or singing the tune to "jingle bells". i did it the other day. man, i'm a freak.

[sinead]

You guys have me rolling in the floor! Good to know I'm not the only freak!

[Charla]

These are hilarious! I agree with a bunch of them :)

I can't eat the bottom of a box of cereal. Especially Life, for some reason.
I also don't eat the last bit of a banana.
I hate misplaced apostrophes. Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. :)
If I have the luxury of sleeping on my tummy (co-sleeping with Jasmine and now that I'm pregnant, it's not the norm), I have to have my toes off the edge of the bed.
I have to have the sheet touching me, the blanket isn't enough. So if Josh hogs the sheet (usually only when I'm hogging the blanket) I wake up every 20 minutes or so.
I hate snooze alarms. No matter how tired I am, I get up as soon as the alarm goes off. And I hate sharing a room with a "snoozer" (not Josh...my sister does it for like an hour every morning)
I love "finished" things. Books, projects, scrapbook pages...I hate leaving anything unfinished. And I married someone who is nervous to call something "done," for fear of finding a problem with it later :)

I'm sure I'll come up with more tomorrow, but knew I had to start my list or I'd be thinking of things all night :)

[busyizzie]

This is hillarous! I'm sure I would get along with some of you fantastically!

Ok, here it is my list of "things"

I cannot stand glitter. Nope, nada, nothing ever glittery in my house. I'm paranoid that the little bits will stick on my skin. I also cannot stand to see a fleck of glitter on someone when it shouldn't be there. And when girls put that glitter in their hair, I cannot stand to see it sitting on their scalp where it won't all come out. I seriously believe I have a glitter phobia!

I arrange my M&M's by color and eat them according to the ones I have the least to the most. Then when I get colors that are equal with another, I eat one of each together.

I am a freak about clean fingernails. I absolutely cannot stand to see one speck of dirt under my nails.

I cannot stand people bitting their finger nails, I cringe.

I'm picky and almost always must use a mechanical pencil. If it's not available, I must find a regular pencil and I use it and don't let go of it. I need to keep it for my personal use.

I look at magazines most often from the back to the front.

When I make a mistake when typing, I do not move my cursor to the error and fix it, nor do I wait until spell check at the end of the paper, I must backspace to get it out of there. My kids even immitate me hitting the backspace key to mock me.

I must sleep on my left side or stomach only. Most times my right foot must be out of the cover. I must be covered up all the time.

When I shower, I must always complete it in the exact same order. Shampoo, conditioner, wash body. One time I did the body first, and turned off the water and then remembered I forgot to wash my hair.

When loading the dishwasher, I cannot put all the spoons, or forks, or knives together. I'm afraid the sppons will sit on top of one another and the back of one and the front of the other won't get clean.

When ever I eat something made with green peppers I pick them out. I even will cook a few things with them, and yes I pick them out.

Ok, I think my list sufficiently shows I'm a freak!:retarded:

[AndreaBurns]

BWAHAHAHA!

I remembered one more!

I will not eat "ugly" food, ei: spots on potator chips or french fries, or spots on fruit. The french fries or chips get thrown away. YUCK!

[Kelsey]

oohh fun!

I always wear skirts or shorts. no pants....
I have a pooh bear that i sleep with every night, and if he falls off the bed, I wake up
I won't eat cheesecake because it has "cheese" and "cake" in the same word

I might find more later :)

[d2vasquez]

BWAHAHAHA!

I remembered one more!

I will not eat "ugly" food, ei: spots on potator chips or french fries, or spots on fruit. The french fries or chips get thrown away. YUCK!

That is a good one.....I do that too! :)

[Valgal]

OMG, you guys are FREAKS! LOL!

I don't think I can come up with that many. Maybe I just don't know myself well enough. BUT...

I carry tissues EVERYWHERE with me. They're in my pockets, purse, whatever. In allergy season I'll carry a box around with me (van, neighbors yards, parties).

I have a blanket/quilt obsession. I have two very special quilts my grandma made that are always w/in reach. Even when we have company I snuggle up to my quilts.

I am obsessed with keeping my couch and coffee table aligned. Seems like I'll just get it perfect and one of the kids will shove the table with their feet. ARGH!!!!

I clean my bathroom sink EVERY MORNING. I can't STAND hair and toothpaste and God knows what else on there. I use a container of Lysol wipes at least every month.

[TraceyLee]

same as Tracey...dh and i each have our own blanket. and we don't sleep with a flat sheet on our bed, just the blankets. i just realized that poor Bean's bed is the same way!

do this, too, lol! we don't use the flat sheet because it drives me insane when it comes untucked from the bed. better to go without than wake up in the middle of the night, get mike out of bed, and retuck that sucker in, lol!

and the more i read this thread, the more convinced that i am Queen Freak. because NONE of these surprise me, in fact, they keep reminding me of all the freakish things that i do.

i absolutely must have at the very least two cups of coffee, every morning. if money is tight, i will count my pods to make sure that i have enough to last me until payday. if i don't- i will search for change to go and buy more.

i can not drink said coffee without three tablespoons of sugar and hazelnut flavored creamer. in a pinch, i'll settle for regular creamer, but refuse to buy anything that isn't hazelnut.

i can not clean my house when mike is home. it's like i'm afraid that he will find me unattractive if he sees me on my hands and knees, scrubbing the toilet, lol!

[chloe]

LOL, you girls are making me feel almost normal!!! Okay, my turn now:

I have to sleep in complete darkness, if there's light I wake up and cannot go back to sleep (even at 5am!! GRRRR)
I have to have something on me when I sleep, usually the blanket or something heavy, but I can stand just the sheet when it's really hot. In winter, I have to have two big blankets and I wrap them around me (and my boyfriend gets cold all night long LOL). Guy calls me "the spring roll"
When I was a child I used to think that the monsters under my bed would eat my feet if they weren't covered. I didn't care about my head, only my feet!
I cannot stand jelly or fluffy textured food (except crème brûlée... YUMMY!!).
I desperately try to manage to lift one eyebrow and keep the other one down. My boyfriend Guy does that perfectly when he wants to mock me and I love it! But my eyebrows are very reluctant!

[Laura_A]

This is so fun and I do so many of the same things.

-I eat Frosted Mini Wheats 2 at a time... frosting side DOWN!
-I flip my pillow over and over before I fall asleep because I love the feeling of cold sheets on my face
-I cannot drink the last swallow of anything. Drives Jaime crazy that there is always some left at the bottom of my Diet Coke cans... I also don't eat the last bite of a sandwhich or burger.
-Also, when I eat a burger, I can't eat the pickle ON the burger, I take it out and eat it.
-When I brush my teeth, I have to wet the toothbrush before and after I put the toothpaste on.
-I hate wearing shoes. They come off the second I walk in the door... before the door is even closed.. and I love getting my feet wet when I'm working in the yard.
-I can't stop touching my kids... no, I'm not a wierdo, I just love to stroke their hair or face or hug them or pat their little bums.
-I bite the inside of my mouth. I've done it since I can remember and I do it ALL the time.

I could prolly think of 100 more but I'll leave it that.

[sinead]

OH, I bite the inside of my mouth, too (sometimes on purpose like if I'm thinking about something, but sometimes when I'm talking fast or excited about something I chomp down hard and it hurts!!).

And I hate cheese with meat. Love cheese. Love meat. HATE them together! Also can't stand cheese on a salad.

I sleep with a big thick blanket year-round. We keep our AC on 72 at night in the summer so that I can still sleep with the blanket.

I also need complete darkness. I've even got a cool eye cover like they give you on the plane, but mine is padded and comfy. Chris calls it my Batman mask. lol!

[Charla]

Hilarious!!

I came up with a couple more.
If I am given food in a wrapper (i.e. a burger, a popsicle or a candybar), I eat it holding onto the wrapper. Don't make me touch the food!

I cringe at the sugary cereals they sell, but don't have a problem calling a piece of cake or a handful of cookies "breakfast"

"A couple" usually means "more than 2" to me...my dad would say he was taking "a couple" kids out shopping, and it meant more than one but less than all of us. Josh has been trying to train me that, to the rest of the world, "a couple" means two. :)

[AndreaBurns]

I will not go to sleep if my closet door is open. This stems back to my fear of something inside... so I make Nate get up to close it. Its gotten so that he automatically makes sure its shut tight before he comes to bed! LOL!

[scrapsandsass]

BWAHAHAHA!

I remembered one more!

I will not eat "ugly" food, ei: spots on potator chips or french fries, or spots on fruit. The french fries or chips get thrown away. YUCK!

I'm totally with you on that one!

That reminded me though... I usually won't eat a whole fry. I usually bite part of it and throw the other part aside. I don't know how I got started doing that... I think I was being picky... but I figure now it saves me from eating all of my fries. :)

[Rynonut Mom]

LMAO! These are so good!

Hum....


I like to tap out songs with my teeth - kinda like tapping your foot to the music, but with your teeth.
I love it to be completely dark when I sleep too, but it's just not possible with kids. I do tend to wake up when it gets light, especially now that's it's light here by 5am. I think that my boys have gotten this from me too.
I sleep on the left side of the bed - down low (I'm 5'4") so that my right foot can hang off the bottom edge. My left leg is bent at the knee with the foot off the bed. I like at least a sheet over the middle too!
I like pickles on the side too, Laura, but not on my burger!
I like to house to be picked up at night before bed. Everythings doesn't have to be spotless - just off the floor and neat. I like the dishes to be in the dishwasher and not in the sink. I also have a habit of picking up the house before DH comes home for the day. It kinda irrates me when I go to work and come home and he hasn't picked up before I get there and everythings everywhere! LOL!
I also check on my kids before I go to bed.
Don't eat the spotty food either. I must not have eatten the "pointy" ends of frys at one point, because my kids picked up on that and have to break off the ends of them to remove them. I'm over that now and I think Ry is! :)
Ry is a no-milk cereal eater.

I'm SURE theres more - I'll have to think...

[AmyK]

Wow, you all are making me feel so NORMAL! I love this hilarious thread!

-I eat M&Ms sorted by color, and I eat the ones I have the most of until they are all in equal numbers (like 3 of each color). Then I color coordinate and eat them two at a time. My last two always have to be green and orange together.
-I have to eat the white middles of Oreos first, and then the outside cookies after. I eat Double-stuffs, and suck the middle onto my tongue and then just let it dissolve in my mouth for a while. I'm a nut case.
-I twirl my hair. Constantly. If I'm at the computer, and not typing, my left hand is in my hair.
-I crack the knuckles on my toes. It feels so good.
-If I'm practicing the piano (and not playing to perform), my right foot is on the damper pedal and my left foot is up on the bench under my right leg. I have horrible form.
-I sit on my feet most of the time. I have trouble sitting in a chair "like a normal person." (Like right now, I'm twisted in a ball in my chair - knees to the left, and feet partially under me to the right).
-I beat out rhythms with my hands, but it's always triplets over eighth notes. One hand in groups of 3s, the other in groups of 2s at the same time. I started it while learning a tough song on the piano in high school, and can't quit.
-I'm another one who has to have heavy blankets, even in the summer. I can't sleep without at least a sheet and light blanket, even if I'm sweating hot.

[ccouch]

we just got in from an 8 hour drive, and i couldn't wait to get to my computer to see what's been going on here. i'm loving this thread!

okay, so a few of my weirdo-isms.... (a few are shared w/ some of you gals!)
- i don't eat the last bite of banana. that little black thing totally grosses me out.
- i sing all the time. i especially like coming up w/ alternate lyrics to songs with my husband.
- the shower curtain must be closed. i can't stand if it's pulled back just half-way.
- you gotta pull the toilet paper from the top, not the bottom (does that make sense?)
- i perpetually find grammar mistakes in everything! what irks me most are apostrophe mistakes and the misuse of "me" and "I." but, i use capitalization off and on when i am typing emails, etc. (perhaps a bit hypocritical of me?)
- this one goes back to the apostrophe, but i can't stand it when people refer to themselves as last name-apostrophe-s (i.e. The Martin's) errr...it's The Martins!!
- i love to throw incorrect answers or statements out to throw off my DH. like he's a huge 80s buff, and i'll hear a Duran Duran song come on the radio and exclaim, "Oh, I just love New Order! This is one of their best songs ever." it drives him crazy! :)
- *laura* i agree w/ you on the kiddo thing. i don't think an hour goes by without me hugging, touching, or kissing camille. i dread the day when mommy lovin' becomes uncool to her.
- if i happen to go to bed before DH, the tv in our room must be on (on mute), but if we go to bed at the same time, it drives me crazy if he has the tv on while i'm trying to sleep (even if it's on mute)
- i like to organize everything.
- pet hair grosses me out (although we have a cat & a dog)
- i can't stand unkempt hands, especially on little kids. dirt under the nails, or too-long nails are a pet peeve.

oh gosh, i just realized that i've written far more than anyone would likely care to read. i must stop - the oddities have no end....

[Jennilyn]

I have my side of the couch as well. I guess it's because I sit with the laptop on my lap, so if I turned to the other side, I wouldn't be able to see the TV while I scrap/design. :)

I do the dishes in order...big plates first, then small plate, kids plates, bowls, glasses, then all the plasitc stuff. Silverware last because I HATE doing the silverware!

When I am trying to go to sleep, no part of DH can touch me. If his little toe touches me, I have to either push his leg over or move myself. I cannot have any part of my body hanging outside the bed like a foot or hand. The movie Poltergeist did something to me when I was a kid I think!

I am afraid of balls. No sports watching for me! I have a phobia that I'll be hit by it. I got hit in the face/head with any sports ball you can think of. I HATED gym when I was younger!

I have no sense of smell so people have to tell me when I smell (which isn't often). I don't take offense to it because it's better to know than keep going on stinking! No perfume for me either because I always put on too much since I don't know what it smells like.

I have to sleep with the closet door closed too Andrea!

When I eat french fries, I do not eat the pointy ones. Not because I think they'll hurt me (my DH mocked me once by pretending to poke me with one) but because I don't like the hardness of them. So I'll eat about half the package at McD's and leave the rest because they are pointy. :)

When taking a nap on the couch, I always have to have either a blanket covering my face up to my nose, or my hands have to cover it.

When I am searching for something that I know I have but just can't find, whether it's in real life or searching for something on the internet I know I've seen before, I start to hyperventilate.

My applesauce has to be heated up. If not, I gag. Can't even be room temperature.

[SarahJ]

Oh, I thought of another one. If I eat Starburst, I have to eat them in order. First all the yellow ones, then orange, then pink, then red.

[StaceyD]

This is too funny!!!


When I eat a Kit Kat, I eat all the chocolate off the outside and then eat one layer at a time
I save the buttery middle of my waffles for the last bite
I have to go to bed with the TV on
I WILL NOT drink the milk out of the bowl after I am finished my cereal
I WILL NOT eat the heel of a loaf of bread
When I make peanut butter and jelly, each goes on it's own side never put the pb&J on the same slice of bread
I need to sleep with the covers on
I have to knock on the outside of the plane as I am getting on

[Jennilyn]

I can't eat a heel of bread either Stacey. I tried putting the pb & jam on the same side...doesn't work! They don't go well together, funny enough. :)

[busyizzie]

Ok I love that these were referred to as "weirdo-isms" I can just see us if we were at a digital crop with all of our computers. Some would only sit in specific seats and others would always be sitting with our feet curled up under us. Those who don't curl up their legs would be tapping their feet to the beat. Most of us would need a heavy blanket while we are checking each other's fingernails for dirt. Some of us would have pickles on the side of their plates while others would have a last bite of banana or burger or the end tip of a fry on their plate or a big pile of "ugly food" set off to the side. Anyway since you've always got to have M&M's at the crop because "they melt in your mouth and not in your hands", we'd all be sorting and dividing them all up and making patterns before we eat them or count them out so we know what colors we have the most/least of so we can eat them with our last two together, all the while they are melting in our mouths!

OMG I think if we all got together, the sociologists would have a field day studying all of our "weird" behaviors. Only here would I ever divulge my "wierd-isms"
The Digi-chicks are the best!
PS...please don't proofread my post for typos and misuses of commas, apostrophies, or quotation marks! I am sure there ARE some improper usages :)~

- you gotta pull the toilet paper from the top, not the bottom (does that make sense?)


That makes perfect sense to me! I'm the same way, and have even removed rolls and turned them around the *right* way at my parents' house.

And squeezing the tube from the bottom and flattening as you go up is one of the cardinal virtues in my household.

[ccouch]

don't worry - the red pen has been put away! i seriously don't go looking for those!

i have a small confession to make, though...

when i was in junior high, i got one of those "mean girl" letters from a girl who decided not to be my friend anymore. i pulled out my red pen, corrected all of her glaring grammar mistakes, and sweetly returned it to her. bwah-ha-ha (in my most sinister laugh)

[ccouch]

i just can't stand it....a few more:
- i chew the ends of pens (got one in my mouth right now)
- i like to eat twix bars caramel first, then the cookie part
- i have incredibly acute senses of hearing and smell. it drives me crazy! because of it, i'm incredibly noise-intolerant and can smell cigarette smoke a mile away
- i am addicted to anti-bac hand sanitizer!

[sinead]

That makes perfect sense to me! I'm the same way, and have even removed rolls and turned them around the *right* way at my parents' house.

And squeezing the tube from the bottom and flattening as you go up is one of the cardinal virtues in my household.

See, I learned the "right" way from my mom, so I really have to stop myself when I'm at my in-laws' house! Oh, and you can always tell if DH was the one to change the toilet roll! He does it the wrong way (ie, the way that his mom does it!). lol

DH and I have separate toothpaste tubes because he just squeezes the thing willy nilly (and doesn't make sure that the end of the tube is clean--you can't even close the tube sometimes! ICK!!) and that drives me up the wall. I push from the bottom end all the way up every time, just to be sure that I've gotten all of it out of the bottom.

[nbeaudreau]

I like lots of pillows - a couple for my head and then one I just hold around me - think that came from being pregnant and never finding a comfortable position to sleep in.

I don't use a lot of pillows, but I do have one that I hold for the same reason as Darla. My dh calls it my 'boyfriend pillow'. Sometimes he even hides it from me! LOL

I don't drink too much milk, but when I do it has to be cold and in a glass (not a plastic cup)

I will not drink a hot can of cola. If I pour it over ice the ice melts and my drink gets too watery. It has to have been in the fridge first.

I can't wear shoes in the house. They come off as soon as I walk through the door. I even make my kids take theirs off too because it irritates me so much. DH will wear his boots all day and will not take them off until almost bedtime. ugh...I can't stand that!

I also can't wear jeans in the house. Those also come off too when I come home and put on my comfy yoga pants.

I have to wear socks in the kitchen. I hate the way the floor feels on my feet.

I have to read at least one chapter from my book before I go to bed.

When I eat a Recess Peanut Butter Cup, it has to be the small ones and I eat the bottom first and then the top everytime.

I think I'll stop here. I could probably go on.

[MarshaZepeda]

Omgoodness... are we really this crazy???? lol!

Okay, here goes:
- Same as Rachael, I have to rub my feet - but on the sheets, not together. (I just noticed that youngest ds does this too... dd LOVES to rub "cold skin"... she HAS to rub my {or the unfortunate one next to her} face and arms while falling asleep or waking up.)
- I have to be covered (yes - even when it's hot) b/c... well... I have no clue. Just do! ;)
- My towels HAVE to be folded the same way, facing the same direction with the folded side facing out. I HATE to see the edges! So when dh or the kids help, I just have to grin and bear it! lol! (Except that dd is learning really well and is taking after me! ;))
- When I eat fries, they have to be the soggy ones. Yummy! I'll throw the hard ones away.
- I bite my lip - dh HATES this and will yell "STOP BITING YOUR LIP!" and I won't even realize that I'm doing it!
- I can't wear shoes in the house. (But I was RAISED this way... Asian thing...)
- All my clothes are hanging by style and color - all facing the SAME direction!!! My shoes are in thier boxes neatly arranged on my closet floor.
- Any hangers that are unused need to be sorted by style and shape on the bottom pole in my closet... (but youngest LOVES to disorganize them.... grrrr!)
- When I was younger, all my books had to be organized by tallness and style. (hardcover and paperback) so it drives me INSANE when my kids throw thier books around!!!!
- Again, in my younger days, my toybox was always neatly organized. Barbies, dolls, doll clothes, small toys.... etc... I tried organizing my kids things this way but it UNDOES itself very quickly!!!
- I USED to have all my cd's in alpha order and I quickly knew when one was missing. Again - between my kids and dh, those days are long gone!

Gosh, I think I could go on and one, lol! Great thread!

[TraceyLee]

even more things from me. :D

i can not eat skittles unless they are separated by color. and i save the yellows and reds for last.

i do the same with starburst- eat them according to color. i love the yellow and pink starburst, and those are always last.

oreos- i remove the top of the cookie, leaving all the cream on the bottom, and eat the tops first, then i eat the bottoms with the cream.

whatever fork that i'm using must be absolutely perfect. no bent tines, no bent handle.

i do not like ice in my pop. like nikki says- the ice melts and makes it too watery. i don't mind warm pop, probably because growing up, my parents wouldn't allow us to drink pop and my grandmother was the only one who did- and she never put it in the fridge. so it was either cold and watery over ice or room temperature and perfect, lol!

[Charla]

Marsha...me too on almost all of those!

When I was learning to read, I thought it was fun to alphabetize my books by title (never understood why the "t" pile was biggest...so many books start with 'the' :) But mom liked to arrange them by height. So for a couple years, she'd sort them by height, and I'd get upset and sort them by name. Then she'd come back and sort them by height... lol
Am I the only one who likes the pointy fries? I hate the mushy ones. Then again, I don't like fries on the whole.
I have my CDs alphabetized and sorted by genre. Can't mix Beethoven, Beatles and Tarkan (Turkish) :)

[Deena]

Now dont you all know im perfect, and do not have a "thing" hehe Yea right!!!

Although i cant think of anything right off the top of my head, except maybe, that im a total neat freak, but you would never know it by looking at my house....Once the kids were born, i just gave up, but deep down, the messyness drives me insane!!!

[MarshaZepeda]

Oh btw - I'm a proofreader, too. My bil HATES this b/c he's a graphic designer but a horrible speller! He USED to ask me to check out his work but would hate when I would point out the spelling/grammer errors, lol! He doesn't ask me anymore.... :Not_Impre lol!

Also - my "skills" are weakening. I can't spell the IE words! They look wrong no matter how I do it! So can someone please kindly finish this rhyme for me:

I before E except after C....

I know there's more but I CAN'T REMEMBER IT!!! And it's the one I need. "Thier" or "Their"? "Recieve" or "Receive"? kwim?

Oh... And I say "KWIM" too much. Dh always mocks me and makes fun of me!

[Charla]

...and words ending "ay", like "neighbor" and "weigh" :)
The only one that still throws me is "weird." My 7th grade teacher would end that "i before e" poem, "and 'weird,' which is just weird!" :)

[sinead]

LOL about the rhyme. :) After teaching high school English and developmental level college writing, I have problems spelling because I've seen things spelled WRONG so many times! You can only see "friend" spelled as frend so many times before the right way starts to look wrong!

Oh, and I had a principal who used to start off afternoon announcements (over the intercom) by saying, "I've got a couple-a three announcements." That used to drive me NUTS!!! It's either a couple (which is TWO, Charlene! :tongwink:) or three If it's a couple of three, then that's SIX!!

My students used to get irritated with me when I would read their writing literally. It's an important thing to remember for developmental writers, though, because misplaced modifiers can really confuse things!

Oh, and my biggest pet peeve about grammar is probably pronoun agreement. In these days of political correctness, most people use their to refer to singuar antecedents (like student or everybody) instead of simply using the right pronouns. I do an internal ARGH! whenever I see or hear that (like on the news or something, not in casual conversation).

So, I'm a dork. :)

[Nonnie917]

You guys are so funny. Each one of you has something that fits me, but I won't go into it or this will be a long post.

I cannot sit still. My legs are either bouncing when I am sitting or I rock from side to side or front to back. I do this in church and it drives DH crazy, but I can't help myself.

I too have to load my dishwasher a certain way and always have to redo DH's work. I do it when he doesn't know though. Don't want him to stop.

In the summertime I cannot go to bed unless I have taken another shower. Can't stand feeling sticky.

Sometimes I wear earplugs when I go to bed because DH has an annoying little snore.

Finally, I cannot stand to have my feet covered during the summer.

[scrapsandsass]

It is funny to me to see how many people are also grammar freaks. I go nuts every day on the way home. There is a sign outside a home that says, "The Whitney's" and it drives me crazy. I bought a copy of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" and I seriously thought about copying the page on apostrophes and taping it to their sign. I drive my DH crazy with that stuff. He catches it too, but he isn't quite as fixated on it as I am.

I especially hate it when reading a book (or textbook) and I find errors. Who is the editor that works there and gets away with that?

I cringe thinking about the future. With IM and text messaging, no one will know spelling and grammar anymore. :(

[sinead]

Nonnie, I always change the dishwasher when he isn't around, either...whatever he does (even if I have to redo part of it!) is better than him doing nothing!!

that's so funny!! we have a dinner group that responds via email about each week's menu, and it drives me crazy when people write that "The Brown's" will be bringing so-and-so.

the "me and I" thing really does it for me, though, because as an English teacher, that was one of the hardest things to teach kids. Reason being? Their parents spoke incorrectly, so the kids grew up speaking incorrectly, and changing that was not an easy task. Even when I showed them in the book, kids would still disagree. Here's a picture of my brother and I. no, no, no. brother and me!

gosh, i need to shut up.....

[teggie]

I always have to be under covers. It doesn't matter if it's 100 degrees out either, I have to sleep with at least a sheet covering me.
I always have to sing in the car! :) Or well pretty much anywhere.
I ALWAYS have to close the blinds before dark. I don't want to walk up to the window one night and see someone looking in at me. Freaky.
I have to sleep with a pillow, but most of the time I don't use it.
Andrea, I have my spot to sit too! I hate it when people steal it too.

Ok, I teach 4th grade and yes I have to deal with this...I simply tell them to take out the word brother. Does this make sense...here's a picture of I...nope it takes a few times but it does help! Most of my students' parents speak Spanish, I wonder if it has to do with how they have the word placement rules??? Anyone know???

[Cynnder]

chapstick...I need it...im an addict...I need something on my lips at all times
I must have my feet UNCOVEREd in bed...
I twirl my hair...just the small chunk from behind my ear
I often run that peice thru my mouth too...yucky..bad habit
need my toenails painted...i hate feet. yuck!

I'm not sure, Laura, but that's how I taught my developmental writers to figure it out, too. Oh, and for subject-verb agreement, I have them replace the subject with it or they (or whichever version of those pronouns will work) so that they don't have to think about singular or plural for the subject while they're trying to figure out which form of the verb to use.

[ccouch]

yep, I taught my kiddos to take out the noun, leaving just the pronoun and then try it out. although when they did it that way with my coaxing, they would come up with the correct answer, the kids would still go for the "I" almost every time come test day. for some reason, using "I" seemed more correct to them.

[sinead]

I always found the same thing with test day. Something about the stress of tests makes you revert back to what you think you know instead of what you've learned. Yet another reason why I hate tests. In the real world, you don't have to rely on rote memory, right? ('Course, you do have to learn the basics at some point, especially if you're working with small kids.) With my college-level developmental writers, we worked more on knowing their weaknesses and being able to work closely with resources (like grammar handbooks or MLA handbooks) instead of memorizing. Again, though, most of my students were simply doing a few classes so that they could get on with their coursework (and were predominantly non-traditional students instead of typical just-out-of-high-school students).

Anyway...didn't mean to hijack the thread! :regular_s

[scrapsandsass]

we have a dinner group that responds via email about each week's menu


Ooooooh... I'm jealous. I'd love to do something like that. How did you get involved in that?

[ccouch]

it's actually our bible study group. we've been meeting together once a week at my girlfriend's house for almost 3 years now for dinner & a study. someone calls the main dish and then emails out what the side dishes need to be. it's been great & we've gotten so close with this group of friends.

i totally agree! now, there are some instances when rote memory is a good thing. i don't want my brain surgeon to have to stop mid-surgery to run to his desk for the physician's desk reference. (perhaps a bad example) but, there is something to be said for truly equipping a student for the real world. that, of course, includes to a great degree learning how to use the tools around us. knowing HOW to find the answers to our questions is almost important as the answers themselves.

gosh, we've veered far off this thread, haven't we? i'm sorry!!

[scrapsandsass]

gosh, we've veered far off this thread, haven't we? i'm sorry!!

Here... this will get it back on track.

I have weird texture issues with food. There are some days I can't eat meat because it gets to me... or like with pepperoni (on :pizza: )... it has to be crispy... I can't eat it if it is soggy.
If someone starts to vomit in front of me, I'll have to fight really hard not to vomit as well. Even if it is the dog or cat.
I have to go to sleep with the tv on (now) and it has to be something familiar on... otherwise, I won't want to go to sleep... once it is something familiar, I can drop off quickly.
I'm really paranoid about finding bones in tuna. I toss the canned tuna into a sieve and mash it around with a fork for awhile to ensure that there are no bones. If I missed one and run across it when I'm eating, it will be months and months before I'll be able to try tuna again.

Okay... that should be enough to get us back on the crazy train. :)

[sinead]

There are bones in a tuna can? Wow--never knew that! One time I was going to make salmon croquettes for my DH so I got one of those little cans of salmon. There were all kinds of things in there (WAY more than just the salmon meat that I was expecting!!)...I promptly dumped the whole thing into a trashbag and shoved it out the door! YICK!!

My thing is crab...hate it. I hate the smell and I definitely hate the sound. DH used to always want to go to Red Lobster for his birthday, which always seems to fall right in the middle of Crab Fest. Just the overwhelming smell of crab and the noise of all those people cracking crab leg bones was enough to send me flying into the bathroom! (Did I mention that I was sick once when my sister had crab legs for dinner? That incident has spawned an intense avoidance reaction for crab.)

Oh, I am also particular about the way I close chip bags. I fold the bag over (and try to get as much air out as I can). Then I wrap the extra bag part around the bag and put the whole thing up, "open" side down. Nice and neat. DH? He crumples up the top of the bag, sometimes not even closing it all the way! Drives me nuts! Just the other night I reached for some tortilla chips that turned out to be stale because he didn't close the bag properly!

[Kelsey]

I always have slept on my stomach...even when i was a baby! (before they told you not to!) and I can't sleep any other way now...haha

[Charla]

I cannot go to sleep with music on, unless it's music I don't know. Otherwise, my musical brain sings along with the song. So if we're driving and I want to sleep, it's DH's opportunity to turn on rap or something else I can't listen to otherwise, he can enjoy his music and I can sleep!

I'm like Kimberlee with the vomiting thing. And if I see someone crying I get choked up. Especially guys, since they don't necessarily cry as often.

Me too, Kelsey. Love tummy sleeping, and always have. :)

I've never had a TV in my bedroom so it's good that it doesn't need to be one for me to fall asleep :)

[MarshaZepeda]

im a total neat freak, but you would never know it by looking at my house....Once the kids were born, i just gave up, but deep down, the messyness drives me insane!!!
Girl, I hear ya! lol! Man oh man do I understand!!!

To go back to the grammer issue... so if I want to say "My brother and I" it's not "I"? It's my brother and me? Although it's wrong to say "Me and my brother" right? Uh oh... I need a refresh in grammer. lol! Oh - and one of you please refresh me on the apostrophe thing, k? lol!

[Charla]

Apostrophes: it's means it is, its means something that belongs to 'it' (like "the cat lost its toy) and its' isn't a word :) That one is my biggest pet peeve, though it's super-common for people to make a mistake on.

I like to play with apostrophes in last names...well, my own last name, anyways. My maiden name is Goodberry, so to pluralize it, I liked to make it Goodberries. :) I'll add an apostrophe for names ending in S (and then not add another s...Jones' not Jones's)

Funniest mistake I've seen: the supermarket had a sign advertising the holiday coming up: bosse's day!

[ccouch]

For the pronoun usage, you use I when it's in the nominative case (subject of the sentence, predicate pronoun).
Ex: My brother and I went to the movies. (S)
Ex: The first people into the theatre were my brother and I. (PP)

You use me when the pronoun is in the objective case (direct & indirect object, the object of the preposition).
Ex: This is a picture of my brother and me. (OP)
Ex: Grandma gave my brother and me a big plate of cookies. (IO)
Ex: The movie really upset my brother and me. (DO)

Apostrophes generally take the place of missing letters in contractions or are used to show possession:

Do not = Don't
You all = Y'all (ha ha ha)
it is = it's

People often use apostrophes to indicate plurals, however. Like "The Martin's will be coming to dinner." With last names, you simply add an "s" when referring to the whole family. Ex: The Martins, The Berrys
The exception being when the last name already ends in "s," so you'd have The Simmonses or the Joneses.
If you're referring to something that belongs to one of those families, you'd add an apostrophe to the end. Such as: I just love the Martins' house. The Joneses' new car is a lemon.

OKAY, so i apologize to ALL for the grammar lesson. Marsha, you did ask!! :)

To get us back on the what's your thing, how 'bout this:

- I am a grammar nut! I actually enjoy diagramming sentences!
- I won't eat the heel of the loaf of bread.
- I can't stand writing with pencils. I only use pens.

[JennStar]

I search the bowl of Hershey's mini's for the Special Dark bars! They are a must!

A new thing for me is to get a Starbucks sugar-free hazelnut latte, no fat, no foam when I'm shopping at Target.

When I'm holding my DH's hand, my arm has to be under his. I don't like the feeling of having my arm in front.

[scrapsandsass]

Ohmygosh... you are soooo cute! :) I loved that lesson! :)

-I have to like the way a pen goes across the paper... if I don't like it the feel of it, I won't use it.
-I get very protective of pens.
-Sometimes when I have a migraine, I will eat a couple of spoonfuls of parmesan cheese (the one in the green can) and drink Mt. Dew... somehow that gets rid of it.
-I can't stand dehydrated onions in things. They remind me of toenail clippings. So now when DH goes to the store to pick up taco seasoning, I have to remind him to look for the Old El Paso because there are no toenail onions in it. :)
-I hate spiders. I also hate crabs because they are like spiders, with shells, and they are fast when they run along the beach.

And yes, there are bones in tuna sometimes. My mom swears she's never ran across one, but I am almost always guaranteed to find one. Usually we make three cans at a time (teenagers in the house) so I always find something.

[sinead]

LOL, Kimberlee! Those crack me up!

[noralong]

This is too funny!!!


When I make peanut butter and jelly, each goes on it's own side never put the pb&J on the same slice of bread


This is funny! When I make a pb&j, it is always the same way, I "butter" the bread with the pnut butter, then put jam in the middle right before I close the sandwich.

I can't have the jam or jelly next to the bread, because I don't like the crystal feeling after it has been there very long. The pnut butter keeps the jam fresh.

[Leila]

Oh my word, this is the funniest thread!!!

I've got a laundry list of eccentricities:


I have to have an even number of eggs in the carton, neatly arranged so that the weight distribution is even as well. And if a recipe calls for one egg, I double the recipe!
I sleep with my feet above the blankets.
I cringe at improper apostrophe usage.
I cannot eat cake. It's physically painful for me. I'll take the icing though!!
I hate water on my face. I keep a towel hanging over the shower curtain rod so that I can wipe my face dry during showers.
I have to wear pantyhose with dresses, skirts and dress pants. I don't feel fully dressed otherwise.
It must be pitch black in my room for me to sleep. I'm so adamant about it that I had Andrew put up heavy black curtains to block out all light.
I have to have a fan running in the room while I'm sleeping. I don't use them for the white noise, I use them to keep the air in the room from feeling stagnant.
I cannot leave my house without my watch. I feel naked. As soon as I get to my desk though, it's off.
Whatever you do, don't touch my arms lightly. I'll flip out. My arms are hypersensitive to touch, and have been since my oldest was an infant.
I have to sleep with my stuffed elephant every night. If it falls off the bed, I wake up to retrieve it.


I think that's all for now! LOL!!

just one small thing from me for now... there are tons...

i have tons of books. so i have them organized first by genre, then alphabetically by author, then in the correct order for the series or publication date. at the ripe old age of 23, i have become a librarian... but then again, i also have over 4 bookcases (the tall ones) full of books.

Related to Dewey Decimal? I am not nearly so organized. The good books are in the front room in a barristers bookcase. The other books are in the computer room. They are kind of sorted. Mine and his. We have a tiny house, so only books we really, really love get to stay. Otherwise we would be living in our books house!
