I can't fall asleep without a blanket, no matter how hot it is.

I hate blankets xD

I love blankets, I also can't fall asleep without a heavy blanket.

I'd rather be too cold than too hot :S

but then I do live in Alaska :D

I've got alot of the same things as have already been posted, I need a blanket to sleep, I eat all of one food before moving on to the next (which I've done since i was very young), and I've eaten exact same breakfast every morning for 5 years)

I also (recently) have stopped sleeping on my bed, instead opting for a comfy loveseat in my bedroom, and i of course have to unplug anything that has a light (especially a flashing one) before going to bed.

oh and I also have a very specific method of eating any kind of sandwich or burger by taking a bite and slightly rotating the food until
i eat the center last.

but, overall my food habits have actually improved since I was a kid, i used to be very meticulous and "dissect" most of my food before eating it. but that was too messy xD

okay okay


I literally can NOT flip a light switch on or off without one foot off the floor and my eyes closed


*takes a bow*

I win xD

You just made that up, didn't you?

lol. yeah, you win xD

I like pealing off at least one pepperoni off of pizza so I can make sure the last thing I eat is a pepperoni.

I have way too many corks or odd things about me to even list all of them but for just a few here I go ,


if I have to tie one shoelace on one foot I have to tie the shoelace on the other foot. so they feel the same .

I prefer to eat out of a bowl all the time . But I can deal with someone giving me food on the plates.

For a while, I had to touch my nose every time I paid in a shop. Don't know if that means I subconsciously thought I was paying through my nose!

When I eat certain things of different sizes say strawberries or walnut pieces I have to eat it a certain way. If its easily distinguishable ill eat it smallest to largest. If not Ill eat all the small pieces, then the medium sized and then the largest.

Same here. Whenever I sleep, no matter how cold it is, I have to have a foot hanging out from under the blanket. I also can't stand small noises in the house while I'm trying to get to sleep (water dripping somewhere, the refrigerator motor kicking into 2nd gear, etc). I have to sleep with earplugs in or else I'll be awake 'til dawn.

I hate phones, too. I'd rather talk to someone in person than on the phone (no idea why). I also hate the sudden sound of phones ringing. It startles the hell out of me and the weird thing is that if I hear my cell phone ring once, I'll hear that ring tone in my head for the rest of the day.

I like certain foods on certain days (monday -chicken, tuesday -hamburger, wednesday -pork chops or roast, thursday -chicken again, friday is Taco Nite)

I drive the same way to work every day unless there's a traffic accident blocking my way. There are shorter routes, but I'm 'used' to the highway I drive on and know every curve in the road and bump in the asphalt. If I have to get off of the highway and onto side roads, I can sometimes get confused as to where I am, especially when it's dark or foggy out.

I also hate it when people move stuff around on my desk at home and on my desk at work. If something's out of place, it drives me crazy all day long. It feels like my house has been robbed or something. At work, people steal my pens and highlight markers, which is enough to seriously piss me off. Last Christmas, in an effort to thwart this thievery, I gave everyone a new coffee mug stuffed with brand new ballpoints and highlighters, but did that slow them down? Nooooo....

Ha I do this. What really gets me upset is when one of my kids comes along just as I get to the center.. and they take my little circle from me.

Had to smile at this. I'm a runner and spend as much time as necessary to make sure the pressure from my shoelaces are "even" and that both sox feel the same. All the sox are the same model, but some are much older and they all feel different as they age. It can take me some time to get out of the house and on my way.

Wow! I can relate to so many other peoples' quirks!

The blanket/pressure-thing to be able to sleep

I do the shoelaces thing as well I cannot bare to feel the other shoe all loose on my foot if I've just tightened the laces on the other...

If I eat smarties M&M or any coloured sweet I have to empty the packet onto the table, and line up the sweets according to colour, then, I eat all the excess sweets first so I'm left with the same number of all colours, then I eat 1 from each colour at a time.

I eat my food so that I always leave my favourite thing on the plate till last so I can enjoy it unadulterated by other flavours, I'm also a stiggler for the same meals, I like what I like and I'm not too adventurous outside of that. I will always have the same burger from a fast food place, or the same meal choice at a restaurant (it's always a choice between lasagne/scampi/fish) On the rare occasion I try out something new and like it (at the moment it's freeze-dried strawberries covered in white chocolate) I eat it obsessively EVERY day if I can

I have to 'pre-sort' the dishes before I wash them, I have an order I always wash glasses first, then plates, cutlery and finally pots/pans, I would get VERY upset if I was told to change my order around.

Clothes! I wear the same clothes until the wear out over and over and over! I hate buying new clothes, they feel horrible and different. I've literally walked through the soul of my shoes but I still don't want to get a new pair because they won't feel the same
