Okay, I'll try. I hope you don't mind if I do this here-
1. There is a cow pasture right next to the little subdivision I live in. We've driven past it all of my life because we'd go past it to go to my grandparents' house, and for as long as I can remember, when we went past that pasture, I'd say "Moo!" When I was a kid I'd say it out loud, but now, I sort of whisper it, with my head turned or maybe just think it. I don't know why I ever started it, or why I continued it, or why this is the only cow pasture in a town full of cow pastures that I felt the need to communicate with the cows in passing, but it is. And since I now live right next to it, I do it *a lot*.
2.I really, really like patterns, especially interlocking ones, like Celtic knots,chainmail, or like fish scales and bird feathers that are sort of staggered. They make me feel secure or like things are right for some odd reason when I look at them. I also love looking out through the leaves of a tree at the sky.
3. Most of the time when I'm looking at someone, I'm thinking of what their skulls must look like. Wow, that sounds creepy, huh? But I mean like the 'wirework skull' or the circles and lines I would initially draw to start outlining their face, and how much of that would be attributed to bone, which mostly doesn't move, or muscle which moves a lot for different facial expressions. I am *not* thinking about literally peeling skin off.
4. I hate Texas because I was forced to live there for three years while my husband was in the army and I have bad associations with it now. The same with Ramen noodles, which I think of as 'We're too poor to eat real food' food.
5. I am not afraid of people or things that are actually real. When I am alone and it's dark, and I start thinking about the horrible things that might happen, it's always something like aliens, or monsters or something that I know isn't real hiding out ready to get me. After seeing Jurassic Park years ago, I got the creepy feeling that there were velociraptors stalking me if I had to go outside at night. I have gotten over that mostly, but things that aren't real or don't exist anymore still seem scarier to me than people.
6. When I go to use the bathroom, even in my own house, I always check behind the shower curtain first. Again, I don't know why, I guess I'm just worried that someone is hiding back there hoping to hear me pee.
7. I made the mistake of teaching my dog to recognize my ringtone (the first Monk theme) by giving him a treat when the phone rang. Now if he hears it, on the phone or TV, he gets excited and runs over to me and won't leave me alone till he gets a treat.
