if i am walking with someone, i have to be the one walking on the right hand side. this has bewildered people for many years. my 'friends' in high school used to tease me about it mercilessly...until i hit them. then they'd shut up quick enough... :wink:

I have a similar problem, but it's more annoying (or so I've been told) since I have to be walking behind them. :| People think I'm practicing to be some sort of weirdo stalker, and one of my friends never got used to it and would always scream "Don't block my way!!" which... makes no sense, really. :lol: I mean, it's not like I'm in front! Silly NTs.

I don't know much about claculators but on mine if you click the 'on' button it clears everything. That might be a bit faster :wink:


Nope. My calc is smart and saves everything when I turn it off. However, I have ta do that when I clear everything for some reason that I don't understand.

But Super Mario on your graphing calc is pure awesomeness. :D

I have to check that all the catfood is locked up before I go to bed or leave the house because once my cat broke into the glass jar and ate all the food - she is so silly she would eat the glass too :wink:
And I have to turn off the all the power points or I can't sleep.

Freecell, it's horrible I play it like twenty times a day. And drawing/painting is actually a stim to me that every once in a while I have to do or I get way too nervous.

Drawing is stimming for me too.

I think smoking is as well- it isn't about the nicotine, because what I really enjoy about it is the texture, holding the cig, and the feeling of taking a drag. If I don't have any, I start fussing over things, picking at things, and feeling a little lost.

I need to find a healthier stim!

EDIT: Although at least it helps to "blend in", since it looks normal. More normal than say, me picking at things and doing "one hand clapping" constantly.

I smoked for 12 years, and the one thing I really miss is being able to use it as an excuse to go outside and leave the crowd.

I have the nagging suspicion that this is what caused me to start smoking in the first place! :wink:

Oh yeah, another thing.

Cheerios are a must in the morning. Just regular Cheerios with 1/2% milk.

And an orange soda (preferrably Sunkist) or lemon-lime soda (preferrably Sprite) is necessary when I get home from school (about 3:00 PM to 3:10 PM, depending on how early or late the bus is running).

Another compulsive Q-Tipper! I can't even imagine not doing this. Every day I have at least one shower, which must be followed up with Q-Tips immediately. I have another swab session before I leave; I can't take the thought of having something in my ear that everyone can see, and I won't put my bare finger in my ear to check. I can't stand seeing dirty ears on other people, and I wouldn't subject anyone else to that. Gahh. New subject!

On getting up:

-A pot of too-strong coffee, taken black, glass of icewater

-Brush teeth with gusto as soon as coffee is done (I hate stale coffee breath on others, won't commit the same crime)

-do fifty Hindus (pushups! get your mind out of the gutter!)

-listen to songs I'm currently obsessed with in a loop until I get sick of one and move to the next one on the list (Beck's Timebomb is figuring heavily right now - the video has hamster Tetris!)

-take a little me time and swing the shillelagh. Good wrist exercise.

Everytime I pick up a clicky pen I MUST click it as many times as I can, as fast as I can.
