Couple more....
My background on my computer is this.....
eye-candy-jeremy-piven-1 : theBERRY
Yep and I twitter stalk him....lol (the only person I follow) I was obsessed w/ Ari Gold on Entourage

When I play vball.......I have to bounce the ball 3x and spin it twice before I can serve.
Vball again....I yell at myself on the court about my blocking...."you're late" "jump dammit" "you suck" lol

To add to the tucking my dog into his bed thing......my hubby loves to mess w/ me!! After I cover Reggie up, hubby asks him if he wants to go out, so Reggie gets out of bed.....lol Or I'll be in bed already and hubby will uncover Reggie....lol So now I have to get up out of bed to go cover him again.

I have a picture of Andre Agassi at my desk at work. (He inspires me in sports and his work w/ kids)

OK, I have as many as anyone else, although I've seen some new ones on here. According to my wife, my strangest one is that I keep the bills in my wallet sorted according to how worn they are, with the most worn towards the inside, and of course this is within each denomination. I have to sort them as soon as I put them in there. However, I work with someone who sorts the ones according to which Fed. Reserve Bank issued them - now that's really strange!

There are all sorts of things connected with making and drinking coffee, but I'd have to watch myself to figure out what they are. I sometimes see others doing things that bother me, but I can't keep track of them. I think everyone has a lot of stuff connected with psychoactive substances, everything from coffee and chocolate to liquor and drugs. I'll bet everyone pours beer a little differently (and how do you deal with the ones that have sediment?).

I have a broken wrist when I went through a window, and didn't know it was broken until 3 years later...it clicks! - I like hearing the clicks so I flick it all the time.

I have a broken wrist from a motocross accident 10 years ago that clicks all the time as well

 

[JClishe]

OMG...I love you!!
I so want that new dancing game that they have commercials on all the time!!

Dance Central on Kinect? We have that, my wife loves it. The other day my son (10 years old) had one of his friends over and we heard Dance Central coming from the game room. We peeked our heads in and sure enough, my son and his friend were dancing. Awesome.

One things for certain, all of you are crazy. :er:

I'm probably crazy too....
I love chewing on plastic. Every pen and/or pen lid around my desk gets chewed on.
I wash my face 4-6 times a day.
When I'm at work, I always put the sugar & coffee creamer in my mug first, then the coffee....but at home I always put the coffee in first.
I also like to make my Mac & Cheese by using less pasta so it's cheesier. Sometimes I use a different sauce, so that next time, I can use two cheese packets. I'm also very particular about the amount of butter/margarine & milk that I use, and the order & temperature that they are....and that all gets altered when I add tuna.
I almost always have to have something 'on' in the background to get any work done. I listen to sport talk radio most of the day and always have the TV on when editing photos etc.
I hate the sound of something falling/clattering down onto a hard floor. My son would play with his Thomas trains on the coffee table and drop them onto the laminate floor...and it drove me nuts, even though it wasn't damaging anything. I finally built him a train table with a good lip around the edge so the trains wouldn't roll off.

One things for certain, all of you are crazy. :er:

If I make a sandwich with meat (usually smoked turkey), cheese, lettuce, tomato etc., I put mustard on the bottom slice of bread (meat side) and mayo on the top slice (salad side).

I put Texas Pete hot sauce on my french fries.... sometimes malt vinegar.

I like to have all the juices on my plate to run together.

I have stayed away from sweets (for the most part) for several years now, but if I do buy something, it'll be Famous Amos cookies.


Must be close to lunch time, all I can think of is food related quirks right now.

 

[jwbryson1]

I changed it to public when I posted it. Hmmm...I'll go check.


Ooops!

Fixed.

I am almost crying watching this. So funny (and TOTALLY not what I expected). :lmao:

 

[jwbryson1]

I'm afraid to post because I "can't touch Bitter" and I'm not as funny as 99% of ya'll, but what the hell. Here goes:

1. I count. Everything. All the time. It's a sickness, it has to be. White lines on the street, cross walk flashing hands, cars, car tires, telephone poles. I have to land on 21 because it's my favorite number. If I get to the end and I'm on 20 and there are 3 tires left, I count it as "1 set of 3" tires so I land on 21.

2. I click my teeth. All day long. Just got an insert from the dentist to prevent more damage. I paid $250 for it but I will never use it.

3. I bounce the mouse at work. And I pant while I bounce it so my breathing is in unison with the bouncing mouse.

4. I MUST wear tennis shoes and socks while sitting at the desk at home. Bare feet not allowed.

5. I do not get cold. Ever. When it snows, I will still walk 1/2 block to get our mail from the mailbox. In bare feet and shorts.

6. I'm an insomniac. All that damn counting!

7. I listen to every type of music imaginable. You should see my iPod. George Strait, Ricky Skaggs, reggae, hardcore punk, Norwegian black metal (Yay Compaq!!!), London Symphony Orchestra, thrash, Eminem, Busta Rhymes and on and on...

8. Both my ears are pierced but I haven't worn earrings in years. I got drunk at my wife's office X-mas party a few years ago, repierced my ear with a ornament hanger and walked around with a couple of blue ball ornaments. I was saying things like "this gives a whole new meaning to blue balls." Then some girl I didn't know was pregnant--so of course I kept saying "somebody's been having sex!!" I did not make many friends at this party.

9. I blink too much.

10. I am close personal friends with Crown Royal. I can't stomach Tequila. Did 21 shots one night in the early 1990's and blacked out. Woke up puking. Probably saved my life.

That's all for now.

Come visit me around January or February.

My alcoholic drink of choice is Bombay Sapphire Gin...straight up.

 

[Meekminx]

Oh, let me count the ways...

I love coffee but it must be 30% milk, caramel creamer (a dash)..and...

I never measure my sugar, I have a 3-4 seconds rule. I literally keep pouring until I think it "looks" like enough sugar. This is only true for coffee. My coffee can't be too hot, which is why I use milk and creamer (to cool the temp without over doing the caramel flavor)

​

I'm addicted to hot tea. I'm learning a new love of loose tea leaves, and the many combinations I can create. My tea, bag or loose, must seep for the longest time possible. Earl Grey tea is my go-to tea bag, with a splash of milk and just a little bit of sugar. Tea must be tongue scorching hot before the milk. I ignore my tea while I check email and TPF until it is cool, then down it all at once.

If I see an animal, I will always openly greet people first. This has nothing to do with the person, and everything to do with the animal. I could lie and say it's the "socially polite" thing to do, but I do it just so the animal (canine's in particular) feels calmer.

I will almost always spend more time with the animal then with the owner. Even as a pet-sitter, I have yet to be too tired to play with an animal. Each animal has their very own personality, and I love seeing it peek out during playtime. Cats go from poised and regal to crazy and pounce-y with a laser pointer or string. Love it!

Every time I enter my apartment, I take my 2 year old Shetland Sheepdog, outside to play. I feel guilty coming home smelling like other animals, so I try to make a point to spend time with her and my 3 year old kitten.

My last "food" addiction was Gold Peak sweet tea. It was fueled when I learned that Burger King could supply my addiction for a measly $2/large. Needless to say, I drank myself stupid and now I can't touch the stuff!!

Keep candy away from me. I may not want it, but I will eat it. ALL.

Last two are my biggest problem...

1) I should have been born in the 1950's. :blushing:

I LOVE to cook, clean, do laundry, and basically "serve" for others.​

Before I get yelled at by the 'older but not old' crowd..I understand that I don't ACTUALLY want to live in the 1950's, I do like that I can learn, think, do whatever I damn well please.

HOWEVER
​

Whenever I can, I will.
It makes me so happy to see "my boys" (husband, roommate, brother in law's), happy. I take requests on dinner, desert, laundry, cleaning, pet care, etc. I'll find recipes online and use "the boys" to try them out.

2) I am a push-over and easily taken advantage of-

I'm trying to work on this, but it's a huuuuuuge part of my personality. Since I became an in-home petsitter, I have been getting more and more experience on telling people "no".​

 

[e.rose]

I almost always have to have something 'on' in the background to get any work done. I listen to sport talk radio most of the day and always have the TV on when editing photos etc.

Me too. When I'm shooting alone music is *always* on.

When I'm shooting with a model music is *always* on, but I let them pick what we listen to.

When I'm editing I always have either the TV or music on... but I find I'm MUCH more productive listening to music than I am watching TV while editing

I fall asleep to the TV too.

6. I'm an insomniac. All that damn counting!

Me too... but it's not from counting. My friggin' brain just won't turn off.

8. Both my ears are pierced but I haven't worn earrings in years.

Me too, haha.

I'm addicted to hot tea. I'm learning a new love of loose tea leaves, and the many combinations I can create.

This is my husband, haha. He got me into them but I'm still not as obsessed with tea as he is... Loose leafs, specifically.

He hath dubbed himself the "Tea Alchemist". :lmao:

Ohh, whenever I feel my socks are slipping down, I just have to pull them up tight again. It just feels wrong having them down on the ankle. Btw, I would never put on those ankle socks things.... ever!

Okay, I got about 50% of that because it's all run together. I used Google language tools to convert from English to Norwegian so I can't be held accountable for grammar.

How did my phrase translate literally to English?
