Please, don't. Talk to someone -- anyone.

Maryn! That's a funny one! I like it, but it's dang funny.

Dysfunctional.... please keep writing. You and your writing are needed by many. Really.

I like this thread idea.

Secret: When I'm home alone and have to burp, I try to burp as loud as possible. So far, I can rattle the windows from 12 feet.

LOL @ Maryn and iLion!

Secret: Sometimes I drive like I'm auditioning for a spot on The Fast and The Furious.

If for some reason I can't buy something at the grocery store in even numbers, I feel a bit put out. One is okay, but otherwise it's two, four, six, eight and so on, whether cans of soup, boxes of pasta, tubes of toothpaste, etc. Three, five, eleven, I don't know, it just seems sloppy.

It's very weird, but at times I feel bad for my video games, like the game itself.

For example, I had some downtime last night and was poking around the internet looking for a new computer game to download. My bro was sitting behind me and he booted up his laptop, along with the older computer game I was into. My ears caught the game's background music and it and it was over.

I suddenly started to feel so guilty that I couldn't get myself to download the new one I found...I felt like a legitimate jerk, almost like I was hurting it and the people that made the game's feelings.

(The effect is amplified depending on how cute the characters/music are)

I hang out around the house naked.

... and, rather than bothering to close the curtains, I mostly duck and crawl under the windows while pretending to be a secret agent.

Secret: All of the spices in my kitchen cabinets are lined up alphabetically.

Secret: I love clipping other people's fingernails. My spouse's, our kid's, our cats'... and anyone else who doesn't think it's weird.

I'm that weird friend who volunteers to clip the newborn's fingernails, because everyone else is too afraid. I'll tackle the spitfire cat that keeps clawing up the furniture. That kid who wriggles away whenever you try and get 'em with the nail clippers? I've got the magic -- they always sit still for me, as though I was a face-painter at a County Fair.

It's weird.

But oh so fun.

*clip clip*

Yep, me too. All movies are also in alphabetical order. Canned foods? Categorized by type of food. My desk, however, is in complete disarray.

Hahaha. I do that too.

My secret: when I'm alone at home, I make weird noises. Like, really weird noises. A bit like this. I think I do it partly because I can express things that don't have words, but mostly just because I like how it sounds And the happier I am, the weirder the noises.

(Me too, StarryEyes, but I do it in the car. )

I enjoy acting out complete diaglogs using majorly different voices and foreign accents. Have developed characters like the Jewish Harry Fendleman of NY, and Jose, and Natasha from Ukraine, and Nigel of Britain, and many many others. I find it relaxing even if it's totally whacky.

No one has heard me... because I embarrass too easily, but I've done it for years.

I put money in other people's parking meters. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! We don't want the man to find out!

When I was nine, we went to an estate sale. My mother said we could each pick out something for under $5. My older sister picked out a pretty ring. My younger sister picked out a little statue.

I picked out a Dustbuster™.

Too funny! You made me think of what I'm posting for my secret lol

My secret:
I hate sunburns, but I like it when the skin starts to peel. There's something satisfying about the sound as I peel off the dead skin with my fingers. Yep, I know it's odd. lol

I'm learning how to scream.

Only a couple of people know that I'm writing books.

I often read magazines back to front.

@ Lavern and M.S. Wiggins: Me too (spices in alphabetical order).

@ KTC: To me it looks as though you're a strong contestant for the weirdo

Whenever I walk around outside, on my way to somewhere, I actually pretend I'm a secret agent who is on a very important mission to save someone or something. Always accompanied with the right music in my ears.
I might look crazy to some people

That's very close to my secret: when I'm down I sing a song I hate in a funny accent while looking in the mirror. You can't do a funny accent without doing funny faces. It works.

The first few times I sent a fax I made photocopies first so I was sure I still had the originals.

Wow. Naked writers. Who'da thunk it.

Not so secret: I'm owned by five cats. At one time it was nine.

Secret: I use the fitting room on the ladies side of the store when I'm clothes shopping, because it's always cleaner than the men's side.

I paid for the coffee of the person behind me in the Tim Hortons drive-thru this morning! SHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I often go months without showering. I wash my hair in the sink and use wipes for the armpits. Otherwise, I wait for my skin to start turning grey before giving myself a full soak-and-soap. :")

ETA (because someone asked ): I am overly sensitive to the feel of wetness and especially running water on skin. Most people find a shower or bath relaxing, it just leaves me with frayed nerves and an unpleasant tingling sensation. Think spiders crawling all over you and stinging nettles... I don't know why this is and bathing is unavoidable eventually but I try to put it off as long as possible Fortunately, I'm not athletically inclined lol
