Personal Quirks

[Jo March]

Blitz, I at least have to talk with the parent of the baby, and play with that baby.

[Miss Friendship]

Okay everyone, remember this thread is for personal quirks and not our accomplishments.

Prismacolor colored pencils come in these tins with trays stacked on top of each other that hold the pencils, and before I got an actual pencil pouch, I carried the tin itself with me, so whenever I used the pencils, I had to put them all back to their position when I was done. I took pictures of the original tin to be sure I got it right. I do the same thing now with the pouch, because it has little bands that you put the pencils in, and I have a very specific order that they have to be in or the world is going up in flames.

Helios, you are funny! You kinda remind me of a good friend of mine named Sarah. She is awesome! (She has a few quirks, too, but that's why I like her so much!)

We quirky people are the best.

Also, if I don't know what to do with my hands, I'll just pull at the bottom of my shirt too, also, as well. =)

I do this, too. Like, compulsively. I call it twiddling, even though that's something normally done with thumbs. I think it's appropriate in this case, however.

I do something similiar with my crayons and color pencils and markers. Everything must be arranged "just so". Color-coded, if possible. Like a rainbow. I can't stand to just jumble everything back together in any old way.

I think in multiples of 3. So like I'm reading, and every three words is a block, and if you section it off between a word and an apostrophe, it's extra points. I have no clue why I do this, and it's kind of annoying. (My sig is ultra annoying because the words don't add up to multiples of three)
Also, I will count the number of people in any given group and build pyramids with them. Six people equals a three-tier pyramid, and so on and so forth. Twelve people means you have a tier of five, a tier of four, and a tier of three. Fifteen is a good number, because then you have a pyramid with a base of five and it's full. Again, no clue why I do this. It's kind of like the counting words thing.

[TigerShadow]

Ooh, I used to do this thing when I was in like, the second grade where I would count all the words people had said on my fingers. I remember having some very specific rules for it, but not much else. My teacher didn't appreciate it, but I had my fun. ^_^

[Jo March]

TigerShadow: LOL!!

[GJFH]

I have this strange habit of leaving my things out an angle, chairs, clocks, and books. Perhaps it's because it looks creative and artsy. I don't even think about it though it annoys my sister.
When I was younger I'd go into the bathroom where I could look at my eyes in the vanity mirror. I'd turn off the light for a few seconds then turn it on to watch my pupils change size.

Now that I remember it I was really obsessed with science.

[AuntSarah]

I remembered another one,
I like to dip my broccoli in Ice cream (or just put the broccoli in the ice cream) if that's not weird to you I don't know what is

How was the taste...?

[AuntSarah]

I like the way it taste! it's really good to me (''other people'' disagree) (my whole family is not even willing to try it)

[Jo March]

AuntSarah: I can't believe you do that!!! That sounds GROSS!! No way I am going to try that, even though you are my best friend...

[AuntSarah]

aw come on Kate I know you want too

[Helios]

I dip crackers in apple sauce, carrots in apple sauce, popcorn in apple sauce--and it's pretty good. Best is Cheeze-Its; sooooo good.

BTW, didn't Eugene once invent broccoli ice cream? Sounds like he had you in mind, Sarah.

[TigerShadow]

I think it was green bean and radish, but you're on the right track. (Or maybe he did try to invent broccoli. Weirdo.)

I can listen to an audiobook or I can read the book, but I can't read the book along with the audio. It goes too slow for me and I get frustrated. (Audiobooks are great to listen to while drawing, though.)

I am going to try this next time I get applesauce!!!

[Jo March]

AuntSarah: ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Okay, so I have this weird thing with broccoli and ketchup(since we are on the subject of broccoli). I like to put my broccoli next to my steak or burger, and extend the ketchup over to the broccoli. Oh, and I also like ketchup on my scrambled eggs. Sooo good!

[Connie G.]

Oh my gosh. All my siblings do the cheez-it in cracker thing!! It drives me CRAZY

[Helios]

Anyone for ketchup in mashed potatoes? I like it on fries well enough; mashed potatoes is a leetle too much for me.

I dislike soda fresh from the fountain. It's always too fizzy, so I wait about ten minutes for it to deflate some. In fact, my favorite kind of soda is lemon, slightly warmed, with just enough fizz to add a kick to it. Then you add strawberry lemonade to it and it's like spiced lemonade.

[Jo March]

I like popcorn and milk, you know, together, in a cup, like what Almanzo Wilder liked when he was a kid. It is REALLY good, and somebody in my family actually likes it! My second oldest nephew likes it; no one else understands the deliciousness of the two together! TRY IT! Before you judge me, try it!!

[AuntSarah]

Yeah Kate before you judge ME try the ice cream IT'S GOOD
