Am I odd?

I sing Methodist hymns in the shower each morning. I am not a Methodist but I belt them out for all they are worth. Particular famourites are "Who would true valour seek", "And can it be?" and "O, for a thousand tongues"

. . . so what are your peculiar habits that nobody else knows about?

Your kidding right? Your one of the most oddest people on TT...

I can't sing, so therefore I am not odd.

well, for starters, I have only one song that I sing in the shower, and that is the Star Spangled Banner. I don't know why this song, as I am not particulary patriotic, or why only this song, as I must know the words to hundreds of songs from start to finish.

I won't let anyone help me in the kitchen because what you think I mean when I say "cut thinly" or "dice coarsely" is different to what I actually mean when I say "cut thinly" or "dice coarsely", and you are likely to cut it in some weird direction, so better than me hovering over you to make sure you do it exactly to my control-freak standards is me just doing it myself. God help you if you think you're getting anywhere near the spices. Nearly everyone I know, knows this about me... and for some reason loves me anyway.

It's a fun activity to memorize all the train stations on a particular u-bahn or s-bahn line, even if that information is of almost no use to me whatsoever.

I will not brush my teeth unless I'm taking a shower or washing my face. If I have time only to brush my teeth but not for bathing, I won't do it at all.

I am a compulsive writer... if I have hours to kill, I can sit down with a journal and write until my hand falls off. I also have five journals, all of which have specific purposes, e.g., one for home, one for unterwegs, one for short stories, etc. They all look different and are filled with the most preposterous garbage you've ever seen.

I'm terrified of moths and butterflies but not particularly upset by spiders. I let most spiders live in my house until they start annoying me, then I usher them outside in a drinking glass and set them free.

I make lists. Obsessively.

Currently on the go are the following lists:

To Do this weekend
To Do before the end of the month
To Do eventually, but need doing
List of birthday presents already bought, and for whom
List of Christmas presents, ditto
List of things I should have done for work (this used to be a list of things to complete before maternity leave)
List of vocabulary I need in the hospital
List of phone numbers I need in the hospital

There are others, but I can't remember them right now.

Well, I thought that if BTC had to ask the question then he may have already answered it as well. Of course my vote was yes at the time. However, after reading Dessa's little quirks, IMHO we have a new winner at this point.

About once a year I like to play my Top Gun DVD on the TV whilst wrapped in clingfilm, the vacuum cleaner nozzle attached to my nuts, and with the power turned on full.
"That's right Iceman, i'm dangerous"!!

aaahahahahahaha!! i loves it!

im a weird one, for sure.

See, I don't see anything wrong with Chocky's input.

No need to list I am probably the most normal guy on this board.

LOL!! We have a winner!

If I posted my own strange secret habits, they wouldn't be secret any longer, now would they?

I talk to myself. Usually only when I am alone but sometimes also if I am out walking or riding my bike. I think there's quite a few other people who do this because I have seen some so I am not sure if it's really that weird. Sometimes I also talk to my car. I do not talk to my bike for some reason but I did talk to a house that I owned but I do not talk to my current apartment. I also talk to my cats and occasionally I talk to other people as well.

You should make a list.

You're right. I'll get right onto that.
