Watching milk float and swirl in coffee. It's absolutely MESMERIZING.

This does not bode well for the idea of my coffee habit decreasing....

8O

Anyone else?

This probably sounds a little weird but I've realised I really like the touch of rough surfaces. For example - my Dad had this weird vase that was made of bark from a tree. And I just sat there for 10 minutes rubbing my fingers along the rough bark and I found it unbelievably relaxing.

I've also realised I constantly rub the palms of my hands on my stubble. I guess these are just other minor stims I have.

I always pick mascara off my eyelashes. And my little sister gave me this tinker bell bouncy ball thing that fits exactly in my palm so I carry that around, but I tend to lose it a lot.

Have you tried this with dripping food coloring into clear water? Equally awesome, IMHO ^_^

The thing that stimulates me the most is playing DOOM :D

I am completely focused while playing it. I don't fidget with my fingers or legs. All fears and anxiety disappear. I am pretty clumsy in real life, but in the game every move I make is sharp and precise, even perfect. And most importantly - it calms me down. I feel at home while hunting down demons in those dark corridors.

I don't know if I would have survived childhood with my sanity intact if it wasn't for the games. They were my salvation.

I love to watch sand falling in an hourglass. I like to flip it over again, once one end is full of sand. I often repeat this process until I become distracted by something. Without any distractions I could do this for a long time.

I do this with smooth or soft objects. If I like how a particular surface feels when I touch it, I like to rub it with my fingers.

This is me so hard. I can't imagine how many long, unpleasant family gatherings pokemon got me through in the background.

I make my coffee and tea in clear glass cups so I can watch the swirling from any angle.

Watching water go down a drain in the form of a whirl pool mezmerises me.Also watching creamer without stirring as it mixes the coffee is equally mezmirising I visualize a typhoon like storm forming in my coffee hehe.

Oh my glob, it stops working after a few minutes. You get just long enough to make a quick setup, then it stops working before you can explode it all. ;_;

Try increasing the dot size (click "dot s") - should let you add more stuff.

If it's crashing on you try updating your java plugin.

I have a bizarre fascination with the kind of clouds that you get from air warming and rising, which probably fits the whole "rainman" stereotype to a T :roll:

It's more of a special interest than anything else, but I really enjoying watching them.

Me too! They are absolutely fascinating.
