My Top 10 Quirks
I have way more than ten, but since this is a Top 10 List, I'll just list the major ones.
1. UFO's (Unidentifiable Food Objects) - If I get a glass of milk and there's a little tiny pin-point black dot in it, I can't drink it. I don't know what that dot is and for all I know it contaminated my milk. Same thing if I find a hair in my food. Not only won't I eat whatever the hair touched, but I won't eat ANYTHING on the plate. I know it's weird, I'm not denying it.
2. I Don't Do Amusement Parks - I'm a real buzzkill when it comes to amusement parks, especially when you find out you have to go on all the rides by yourself. I have a very queasy stomach and I'm afraid of heights. So the idea of going on a rollercoaster, dropping 18 stories at 70 mph and then doing a few loops and a barrel roll...it just ain't gonna happen. While you go on the rides, I'll go play target shooting games and win you a teddy bear.
3. Talking During Movies - Don't take me to a movie theater. You know the director's commentary option you find on DVD's? I'm like that, but you can't click a button to turn me off.
4. I Have An Opinion On Everything - And if I don't have an opinion on something, I'll explain to you all the reasons why I don't. If you don't want to know what I REALLY think of something, then don't ask. And if you don't ask, I'll still tell you anyway.
5. Long Car Rides = Nap Time - Within 20 minutes after getting into the passenger side of a car, I will fall asleep. I even bring along a pillow and blanket. We both know I'm going to sleep, so I might as well be comfortable. This seems to piss people off though, especially when it's a three hour long ride, and they have to drive with no one to talk to. There is a reason why I get sleepy though, it's because I have to take Dramamine and that causes drowsiness; which brings us to...
6. Car Sickness - How bad is it? I take Dramamine before playing Grand Theft Auto games. Yes, that's right. I get car sick from playing video games. I have thrown up after playing San Andreas for more than an hour.
7. Talking On The Phone - I know a lot of people who like to call and just talk. My mom likes to call and chat, which is why I'm glad I have an answering machine and she now has email. I'm not a phone person. In fact, I hate talking on the phone. If I call someone, there's a reason for it. I state that reason and end the conversation.
8. The Last Word - If I'm fighting with someone I have to get that last word in. This can get pretty bad if I'm fighting with someone who also has to get the last word in, because it can drag on for hours. I found the best strategy is to fight over the phone, so that you can say something real quick and then hang up on them before they can reply, and then unplug the phone (on instant messenger, I use block).
9. Hibernating During The Winter - I cannot take cold weather. I've missed appointments because of it. Unfortunately, many people don't like it when I call and say, "I can't make it today. Too cold out."
10. Swearing - I'm really trying to curb this bad habit, but I still fuck up and slip sometimes.
