A few minutes ago I had a pretend sword fight with the air.

...Yep. (But only when I'm alone)

I like to play and make weird noises with my 1 year old nephew. I'm the best uncle in the world XD

I count with my fingers. Some people find it extremely charming and cute. For me it's more of a bad habit that got stuck.

My list is long =P Here are but a few:

¤ I play around in playgrounds when I can. Babysitting means I get an excuse =)
¤ I LOOOOOOVE climbing trees. Don't do it that often though.
¤ I make weird noises and ham it up.
¤ I play games with myself when downtown or in a shopping mall like Don't-walk-on-the-cracks, and Only-step-on-black-tiles.
¤ When the opportunity presents itself I will use a shopping trolley as a means of personal transportation around the shop.

I freaking love cartoons.
I ride shopping carts at the grocery store.
Sometimes I break into song and dance in public.
I giggle all the time.
When I go to a restraunt with someone else I steal food off their plate when they aren't looking.
When I go to the park I roll down grassy hills.
I carry a yo yo pretty much everywhere.
Toys R' Us is still one of my favorite stores to go to.
I troll people in real life because I think it's hilarious.

Aside from that i'm also just generally immature and I enjoy messing with people entirely to much.

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

I do this. I also wear no shoes while doing it. I look quite aimless and a little mental because I meander a lot when I walk and run and stop to think.

I also sometimes lean on shopping trolleys and push myself along. >_< Once I was with my friend outside the library and hardly anyone was there, and there was a deserted trolley and I said "get in" and she did, and I pushed her around. I just remembered more things and realised how much of a social retard I might seem...
I'm curious, do you perhaps do some parkour or free-running? I do a little myself although I am still am amateur.

I also have a theory regarding running, jumping, and climbing stuff out in public. If you're by yourself when doing so, you'll look like you're crazy, although if you're with a group of several other people and everyone shows some level of skill; people will think it's some kind of organized game or sport.

When I'm at the supermarket, I like to jump on the trolley and whizz around - relieves a little of the boredom of shopping. 18 and 6'3" :)
22 and 5'6" i do the same thing. Also sometimes i'll just spin around as fast as i can for as long as i can before stopping and trying to cope with the dizziness.

I like to sneak up on people and scare the crap out of them. It is insanely fun and I am really good at it.

I don't really have the stamina or risk-taking tendencies for parkour like you see on youtube, but I guess you could call a few of the things I've done freerunning or parkour.

I think you're right about the group thing. The principle applies to anything. If you have people on your side, people take you more seriously. People take it even more seriously if you look organised and "official" by having a name or a uniform or a reason other than fun. If I put on a leotard and went to a gymnasium, people would take me seriously when I climb and swing on things for fun...

Depending on who you ask, cartoons and video games can still be considered childish (even here, since I'm a huge Nintendo fan). I'm an enthusiasts of both gaming and animation, and I'm sure some people have silently judged me for it. I also won't let the target age stop me from reading a book I like...went through the entire Pendragon series during my freshman year of college.

Oh, I'll also ride a cart when putting it up in Walmart parking lots :)
