Quirks
A cousin of mine were talking about quirks/odd traditions/etc. today, and she asked me what mine were. It's really weird to sit down and think about one's own quirks... especially since you don't even recognize some of them. So, here are some of mine (with input from my friends). Can you guys think of anything else?
I can't stand wallets, they feel all lumpy when you sit on them. It's money clip all the way for me.
When I smoke, I compulsively blow smoke rings. More than half the time, that's the only way I exhale.
I used to drive across the Suwannee River 4-6 times a month. Every time I drove over the bridge, no matter what I was doing (listening to music, having a conversation with a friend in the car, talking on the phone), I'd whistle the first line from "Old Folks at Home" (Suwannee River).
I like to pop my right wrist by rolling it over and over again.
Whenever I break up with a girl (or am broken up with--except for one, exceptionally rough occasion), I play "We Are The Champions" and sing along with reckless abandon.
In my family, the phrases "damn skippy" and "there you go" always go together. When one person says one, someone else has to say the other. Therefor, whenever I hear someone say "damn skippy" or "there you go," I always follow with the other part. It confuses people.
When drinking a soda from a can, I never open it all the way. I crack the top, then suck the soda out.
I say "awesome" when things are decidedly NOT awesome. When I do this to people I don't know, they always get a weird look on their faces, and retell the story ("no dude, he DIED").
Before any kind of competition/tournament/big test, I never eat anything.
According to my friends:
Whenever I want to say something weighty/serious, I always sigh (just breath, no tone) first, then wait for someone to ask me about it.
Whenever I'm approaching someone from a distance, I always stand really tall and straight, usually with my hands in my pockets, and have "the calmest look" on my face. "Totally businesslike."
