Quirks

Today I've been thinking about all the strange habits and quirks I've formed. So here's a list of the habits that control me the most.

1. Music plays in my head all day, and for some reason that music comes out in the form of teeth chattering. I tap my teeth to different beats constantly. If you watch me close you'll notice. It's like I have a drumline living in my gums.

2. I have what Freud would call an "oral fixation." I tend to want to experience the sense of touch through my mouth. Because of this, I cannot resist biting things like play-dough, erasers, memory foam, etc.... Also, I chew on pens and pencils constantly. (This might contirbute to the teeth chattering bit as well.)

3. I touch my hair all the time. I hate this habit, but I can't control it. Sometimes I'll even say to myself, "don't touch your hair!" and I still can't stop. Crazy.

4. I pull out my eyebrows and eyelashes. I know this one sounds crazy...I can't explain it, it just happens. Especially when I'm bored.

5. I set all clocks to a number that ends in 8. I loathe the number 5. I dislike odd numbers. And I have a simple dsitaste for zero. Numbers 2 and 6 will do if 8 doesn't work out, but 4 isn't really my cup of tea. Usually I set my alarm clock for 5:28. (I can't get away from the first 5, it's just how it has to be.) When I have to microwave something for a minute and half, I do 1:28. The list goes on.....


This is just the beginning of all my habits. I'm pretty sure I have way more quirks than most people. I don't know.
