6 weird habits:
+ i adjust my speech patterns and voice, according to who i'm talking to. i guess many people do this to a certain extent (i.e. alter vocabulary/word choice etc) but i've noticed that i even drop my voice to unnatural octaves, or raise it, depending on the person i'm in conversation with.
+ when i have a song in my head, i'll breath-sing (?) it, so the notes aren't really being sung but the melody is just breathed--whistled, almost--in a really bizarre, quiet tone.
+ i often write text messages to people that i have no intention of sending. it's like a desperate attempt to say things i'm not really sure i should, haha.
+ whenever i set an alarm, the numbers in the time have to be somehow related, or add up to something pleasing, or make an interesting math problem. sometimes on a whim i'll come up with all the different equations that could be applied to a certain time.
+ the night before any big performance, i have to sit with my music and go through the piece in my head. i never touch the piano while i do this, just methodically imagine myself playing, as flawlessly as possible. when i don't do this, i feel incredibly uncomfortable and unprepared.
+ i am unable to leave the house without feeling like i look presentable. even if it's only for a couple minutes...it pisses me off like no other when i think i look unattractive.
+ also, this is similar to chase's, but i always play riffs, melodies, and guitar solos from songs with my fingers on my leg. it's gotten to the point that i don't even notice it, until someone asks me why i'm playing piano all over myself.
oops, that was seven. and god, it's pretty ridiculous how fucking strange i am.
I TAG: sean and emma (because they're obviously much more active on lj than any of my other friends, haha) and miss jeannie.
yeah, you!
