I love the brown ones too, but not the ones with brown spots.

I do my dishes in a certain order.

I like the flavor and scent of onions but I absolutely won't eat onions.

I like milk with popcorn.

When I eat a meal, I like to eat all my food evenly. So at the end I have one bite of everything left.

It annoys me when other drivers hit their brakes first then turn on their turn signals.

I love tomato soup but hate tomatoes.

I always wake up a few minutes before my alarm clock goes off. It angers me that I am robbed of a few minutes of sleep.

I used to do the same thing, so I stopped using an alarm clock. :)

I hate to puke too. I would rather lay real still and suffer
11/08/2007 07:35:18 PM · #157
I've read all mine...

1) I count steps as I use them and then remember the count for weeks.
2) I also search out the folded chips.
3) I HATE corduroy... will NOT touch it let alone wear it.

add to the list:

When I open a new can of peanuts (often) I first eat the halves with the nib attached, then the nibless halves and then the whole ones.

I have puked so much in my life I can now puke on command.

Not the MOST useful talent but still a talent.

street lights will spontaneously flick out when I'm near by

i have a small fears that everything we ever write about on the internet/blog will last as long as mankind is able to keep up a technological civilization.... and it really doesn't matter... because we won't last that long

I think I better of writing something in write something sane about yourself thread. I am odd enough.

Well here it goes:

I remember all the important things in my life (at least in last 20 years), I could tell you that this thing happened on that date and time.
For example, when I first met my wife etc etc. I never forget my friends birthdays and anniversaries etc. If they have told me once, I always remember it.
But on the same time I could forget if 10 minutes ago I took coffee or not. I show both trends of memory, I forget small things very fast.

I like difficult things, more difficult it gets more interested in it I become. Easier it gets and I lose interest.

On crazy stuff I did:
in 1997 I decided to memorize oxfords advanced learners dictionary. Because I was poor at vocabulary. I did not go out of my house for three months and was only memorizing words.
At one point of time I could say I remembered it more than 90 percent.

Another one:
in year 1991 I decided that I would not tell any lie. And I could say that for at least 6 months I did not tell any lie. (try it, its much more difficult to practice than to just say).
Still when it comes to my matters I do not lie, no matter how bad results turn out to be.

I do too. It's theorized that this is caused by Psychokinesis (the same type of energy responsible for poltergeist activity). I once went down a street and three lights went out in sequence as I approached them. Skeptics would say that this is a common occurrence, and that it's just coincidence that you happen to be walking by.

Do you guys ever have other things happen, like things moving or breaking inexplicably; especially when you are angry or stressed?

I'm not fond of those things myself. The way I handle them is to wrap a dish towel around it and then bang it until it pops. :)

1. I have a phobia of opening canned bread.



Yep, any bread product (biscuits, croissants etc.) that you have to unravel to open and it pops.

For that matter, any loud or unexpected noises startle me so much that I usually jump, shout out, and/or drop things. I think this one is called "Hyperstartle".

- I like adding mayonnaise to warm homemade macaroni and cheese.
- I love buttered noodles with Worcestershire Sauce on them. (lady at work does too...but she's the only other I know of)
- the smell of skunk doesn't bother me
- Shampoo, canned food, etc. all have to face label to the front. I got that from working in a store where everything had to face front on the shelves.
- I always inspect my plates and silverware before using them.
- I don't like peanut butter or Reeses...but I like peanut butter cookies.
- I HATE walking on those metal sidewalk grids or the metal cellar doors on the city streets. I walk around them.
- I'm afraid of clowns and other masked people. I can't tolerate them but they make me very uncomfortable.

I too...

- keep my $ bills facing the same way from lowest to greatest.
- don't touch bathroom doors or toilet handles with my hands
- in my closet all hangers are hung the same way. Pants are on the left, shirts on the right. The shirt fronts face left, the pant tops face right. I also sort by heaviness of material...lighter weight to heavier from left to right.

2. When eating chips (especially doritos) I always have to see the chip to tell which side is cheesier, and that is the side I put on my tounge.


I do this too. :-)

I also love Nacho Doritos on ham sandwiches.

eta: about eating the candies...what do you do if you have colors that have the same number of candies in them? How do you choose which set goes first?


For me, I would then eat my least favorite flavor or color first.

Originally posted by KarenNfld:

Thought of a few more. I also cannot stand to have my face touched and I've never had a facial or a massage.

I see "magic numbers" on the clock all the time. Magic numbers like 3:33 or 11:11 or 12:34 or 12:21...


I see 11:11 all the time. My friend does too and we always noticing our emails are timestamped with 11:11. She sees 11:11 alot too.

Me too! I've had four random lights go off within a mile.

I won't eat in a restaurant if I can't get a seat where I can see the door.

I used to have a fear of barfing. Even if I had food poisoning, I would hold it in until I almost exploded. I got over that.

I once tried to understand a woman.

Here's one - I have about 75% photographic memory. So - if I've seen it, I know where it is. I don't have to see something consciously, but if it was in my field of vision at some point and you say, where's my ... I'll be able to tell you where it is, regardless how obscure. I consider that to be a superpower. :oD

If I am eating m&ms (or other assorted colored candies), I like to group them by color, then eat the color with the fewest, first, and up to the one with the most until they are gone.

Brown, green, yellow, orange, red, blue. The order in which I eat them!

I cannot eat ice cream from one of those little metal dishes with a metal spoon. Sends me right through the ceiling like fingernails on a blackboard does for some people.

If I'm in the back seat of a car and try to read, it will make me sick almost instantly.....if awake, I MUST see out, however, I'm likely to fall asleep in a couple of minutes.

I cannot sleep with a blanket touching me, I must have a sheet or comforter between me and the blanket.

That's not odd......it's OCD, and there are lots of us out there amongst the disporganized!.....8>)

Edited 'cause I'm OCD about spacing, quoting, spelling, grammar, and punctuation in forum posts, sometimes to the tune of a half dozen edits 'til I'm happy with the damn thing!

That applies to me - unless it's my stuff. I can find things for anyone in the house except me.

Also:

I've been in a circus.
I have to sleep with at least one foot out from under the covers.
I will sit and watch a TV show w/ the sound totally down.
I make lots of lists, but seldom stick to them.

I HATE bad service: If they have best selection, best price and most convenience...I will still walk out if a store has bad employees.

I am super anal about spelling and grammar :)

I am turning into a vampire because of working 3rd shift.

I own every Disney animated full length feature film ever made. Not because of my kids, but because I like to watch them over and over.

I rarely get mad, I get even.

I must paint my toenails every other week or I get depressed.

I want to have 16 children.

I push people to do good things for society or to better themselves. Just because.

I love thin crust pizza because the bread doesn't fill me up and I can taste all the toppings.

I really do love everyone. It's not just certain people, it's everyone.

I also flirt with everyone. Not just guys, not just girls. Everyone.
