What's some odd habits that you just can't stop, or they've become part of what you do each day that you don't want to stop them? They don't have to be obsessive compulsive, they can just be little things.
Mine would probably be I drum out the 20th Century Fox song with my fingers, and also hum it in my head when I'm waiting for something to happen, and somtimes people give me wierd looks. I watch too many movies, but that's my job, so hey :)

When ever I'm in Poughkeepsie, I find the desire to pick my feet overwhelming. I'll just sit on the edge of the bed and pick my feet.

I'm pretty sure my 21 years of gaming has produced one noticable side effect: I NEED to be doing something with my hands. I just can't keep them still. Whenever I'm watching something or reading, I always have something for to twirl/toss/bounce/squeeze/fiddle with in my hands. I'll go crazy if they're kept still for too long.

Staying up until 1 am every day. Seriously, I woke up at 7 this morning (not normal for me) and I have yet to actually feel tired at all.

Also, I like putting bag clips on my fingers. I don't really know why.

Scratching my right earlobe when I get worried.
I loose at poker so much.

Other than that, I can't stop biting my nails.

EDIT: I also cannot help playing Lawful Good characters in RPGs. I so want to play a LE character, but evil seems arbratray.

Same problem, shifted forward 2 hours.

Biting my finger nails. I'm not sure why, I just do.

Also, talking to myself out loud as if I'm talking to another person.

Worrying.
You should worry, eating the wrong snack before bed might make you feel ill. And what if you leave little crumbs and such of the snack out over night and because of it Ants crawl all over your room and your body whilst you sleep and once they're no longer satisfied with the food you left out, the come to eat you from the inside out, nibbling on your flesh with their terryfiing pincers and when you wake up and notice they're doing this, it's already too late as hundreds to thousands of them have all ready crawled into your body through your nose and mouth and you are eaten alive, conscious, piece by piece and you'll be known as the man, who was killed by ants since he had a bad case of the nibbles every night. Joking joking, Ants don't eat Humans. :-D OP:
Sleeping only on my side,
eating the dead skin on my fingers, eating scabs, fiddling with bobby pings, talking to myself loudly and in silly voices and using lots of commas.

I talk to myself, all the time, bringing up hypothetical arguments and situations, and having full blown one-sided conversations. It helps me think. I've decided that I won't be worried about schizophrenia, until I hear another voice answering back.

This one's only slightly weird, but it's more odd than anything else.

There's a slanted set of beams that run about six feet above the middle of the stairs at my parents' place. Since I was tall enough to reach it, I always gave it a quick rap with my kuckles as I went downstairs. Having aged about fifteen years and grown a couple feet since then, I still haven't stopped doing it.

My right eye has this one errant eyelash that always curls back into my eye. God i can feel it right now. So i constantly pick at it while i'm bored. People probably think I'm trying to pull out my own eye so I can take a look at my optic nerve.

With games: need to complete them 100%. I know it's nuts, but it's one of the few things I'm completely OCD about.

IRL: Taking afternoon naps, staying curled under a blanket (even when it's about 80 F outside), leaving the window open, forgetting my phone EVERYWHERE.
