On this forum, I have a strange habit of having to make posts at rather specific times. In other words, when I write a post, I refuse to actually post it at times like 8:37 or 1:19 or 7:59. I have to to click the "Add Reply" button at times like 3:00 or 5:30 or 9:15. The same goes for PMs. As an example, just take a look at where it says "Posted on..." above this post. (And yes, this often means I have to wait a few minutes if I finish writing my post earlier than I had expected.)

That reminds me of my habit of liking to post at hour marks, five-or-ten-minute intervals (XX:15, XX:30, etc.), and at times that are palindromes (12:21, 3:03) or contain only one number (11:11, 4:44). I don't know why I do it (and it's not something I obsess over, or put a whole lot of effort into); it's just another one of my weird little quirks.

I like martial music.

[Radel]

I don't smell almost anything.

I have now found a use for an air horn.

I'm almost done with the next Sharptooth Valley II chapter.

I like to eat deli meats plain. My personal favorite is honeyed ham.

I like to make fake strategy guides for video games I made up.
Possibly my personal favorite "guides" were for a trilogy of games I made up that mixed Ed, Edd, N Eddy with Final Fantasy VII and VIII and played in the style of Kingdom Hearts.

I tend to obsess about random things for unexplainable reasons for certain amounts of time.  My most current obsession is eating disorders :blink:.

I like the retail website thinkgeek.com because they sell some really geeky things.

That reminds me vaguely of my habit of becoming intensely interested in particular subjects (usually a certain kind of animal) for a length of time, before that interest is supplanted by another. In most cases the interests do not fade away entirely, but I simply become less actively engaged in them (e.g., not spontaneously seeking out further information on the subject).

For instance, I've had a somewhat on-and-off obsession with bears for the past few months; I was very interested in echinoderms (particularly the water vascular system of sea stars) in late January, when we started studying them in one of my biology classes; I had a very brief period of intense fascination with arthropod venom starting a couple of days ago, when I was reading a chapter in a book called Swimming with Piranhas at Feeding Time: My Life Doing Dumb Stuff with Animals that discussed stinging insects; and then there's my love of bats, which has been present, and fluctuating in intensity (sometimes reaching extreme heights), for as long as my memory can recollect.

Are you two me?

It should be quite apparent but I happen to like military-related things.

*POSSIBLE STUPID QUESTION ALERT*

What, do you mean you're exactly the same way? In both habits?

If so, it's not the first time the three of us have turned out to have something in common.

My interests change as well, going through a bit of a cycle between story writing, LBT, and computer games/board games.  What usually happens is that during the year I spend most of my time by the computer so I partake in computer games while in the summer I don't have a computer at my work so I engage in board games instead.


Also, I had one of my teeth drilled today.

Speaking of interests, under the influence of some of my coworkers, I became interested in and have started learning how to do rock climbing .

[Nick22]

am considering getting a playstation move..

[lbt/cty_lover]

I own and know how to use a slide rule.

I sometimes get freaked out by the term 'furry'.
Kinda ironic because I draw them but I like the term 'anthro' much, much better.

Every now and then (especially when I’m feeling tired or absentmindedówhich is unfortunately almost always nowadays), when someone addresses me with a greeting or other phrase that is customarily given in a particular social context, I goof up with my obligatory reply.

Sometimes the slip-ups are reasonable, such as if I’m going to bed at a time when another family member is just starting the day, who tells me “goodnight”, and I say the same thing back; or if I greet someone who has woken up past noon with “good morning”. Other times my response is completely incompatible given the scenario. For instance, after dinner a couple of days ago I was thanked for putting my dish away, and I almost said “goodnight” in return. Oftentimes I realize that I’m mincing my words before I’ve finished the phrase (or, as in the above case, even started it), and correct myself, but there are also cases in which I do not even realize I am saying the wrong thing until I am finished, and either reflect on what I just said or have my mistake pointed out to me by someone else.

A lot of the time it seems like my brain is operating my mouth on autopilot, and stuck in the mode when my reply should be the same words the first person said to me (such as “goodbye” or “good morning”); there have been times when someone has said “happy birthday” to me, and I say “happy birthday” back. And don’t get me started with all the times I’ve said “thank you” instead of “you’re welcome”, and vice versa.

^ I'm the same way Pangaea. It's usually when I really don't feel like socializing with people is when I have echolalia. I used to be that way when I was just starting to talk.

I've worn glasses since 4th grade.
