Your thing.

[Lynx]

I remember stuff. Unimportant, nonselective, tiny specific details from conversations and meetings I've had with other people, from any random time in my life. Though I can't choose what to remember, some things just sort of stick. They're like little puzzle pieces from my life.
The scary thing is, sometimes I remember sceneries from a 3rd person perspective...


I also used to play kidnap/rescue games by myself when I was a kid. Something tells me that wasn't entirely healthy.

i cant answer whit a simple yes or no, not even to stuff like "do you like cookies" my friends tell me i talk like a politician.

also i correct people, i have realized that its an bad habit and im working on it, but every time some one says "i could care less" i start twitching and want to show them on a graph how what they are saying means the complete opposite of what they are meaning.

also i yell at kids, not like an crazy person but more like "turn that noise down!" and "get of my lawn", stupid kids playing soccer on my lawn.

No matter what the temperature is outside or in my house, I sleep with a fan on.

i read while eating while watching tv. i don't think many people do that.

My room is always at 45 - 50°F. I can't sleep if its any warmer.

Sorry to rain on your respective parades, but i do all of these things as well.

Sorry to rain on your singular parade, but then you just got ninja'd 3 times.

Eh, these things happen

 

[Alpha Centauri]

I wear a suit and trench coat, with briefcase, to high school, and im 16

Yep I can do this too, I have about 5000 songs on itunes all of which I know word for word and beat for beat even if I've only heard them once or twice though I think it might be a trait held among quite a few people, probably something to do with a good acoustic memory. I can remember most things if I sing them or twist them into a little song which is helpful generally.

That's Auditory learning, you find it easier to learn if something is put into a song or a poem, it's quite uncommon. But I'm a visual learner, I learn through observation and diagrams, that's what makes it weird.

You should count yourself lucky, the teaching system these days is very much geared toward Auditory learners, with pnemonics and lectures at every turn. Even though Visual learning is the most common method, it's easier and takes less effort to teach for Auditory learners.

Strangely enough, I'm taking psychology for one of my A-levels.

 

[Mozared]

My thing? I'm an observer. I'm in my 'element' when I sit about quietly, taking in all that's going on and planning ahead. From "what would I do if a suicide bomber would suddently run in through that specific door?" to "I wonder who came up with the idea of round archways... or whether they were made up before normal flat entrances".

 

[Di22y]

I have no fear, just imagine it not being able to be unsupervised ever.

 

[MarcusD357]

In order to relax I force my shoulder blades out of my back by about 30cm so it looks like I have wings. I've been told it looks really weird but I like it...

Also if I can't sleep I go out of my house in the dead of night and wander the streets in my underwear no matter the weather. I often wake up on park benches or on pavements and have to find my way home

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I tap my feet. All the fucking time. Like to the point where almost everyone notices. I really can't help it. I just always have some sort of internal rhythm at all times and I always tap my feet when listening to music, so I put two and two together and came out with the conclusion that I'm insane.

 

[Skeleon]

My thing? My thing is private, thank you very much.

 

[Aqualung]

I sometimes start randomly bobbing my head or dancing when no one's talking. My internal radio clicks on and I have to dance.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

When i'm talking outloud to myself, i refer to myself as "we"


Eg - "So, what shall we do now?"

 

[RemoteControlRox]

Occasionally, I find myself making my own sound effects--not mimicking actual sound effects like explosions, but rather words, usually set to a note. Like "werp" or "boop." My excuse has just become that it's fun.

I also have to have the door to my room shut in order to sleep at night. It's a weird paranoia.

I go around singing "Owls" a lot. Loudly.

But everyone is fond of owls.

Me too. The humming helps me sleep.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Hardly ever washing, being a slob and being downright feeling murderous when anyone mocks me.

 

[CptCamoPants]

I do the same.
But I have Tourette Syndrome, so I have a bunch of them.

 

[person427]

I guess I'm not so different after all. I'm actually not surprised. It seems like a large percent of the Escapist community has a lot of things in common. That's why I love it here. Hurray for sleeping with fans!
OT: I'm the biggest Escapist fan I know, and can't stop laughing if somebody says something that seems like a reference. Then I look like an idiot.

 

[GHMonkey]

Ballroom dance, yeah, i dance with very attractive women very often

 

[Shadowfaze]

i eat entire jars of nutella chocolate spread. its not sick it is brilliant!

same here.

I don't know about being only me who did this,But I used to count from -1 to 8 over and over again.I don't do it as often anymore though,I just scratch myself wherever someone touches me if it is unvoluntary.
