Advantages: I'm not embarrassed by my quirks!

Disadvantages: You may think I'm a little weird...

I've seen a few of these around the last few days, and thought I would add my little touch of weirdness to the ever growing pile.

1) Firstly, Maybe not too original, but I talk to myself, a lot. Be it at work, at home or in public. If I have a decision to make and no one else is about, I will talk it over with myself. At work especially I do it more. Usually when I have a spreadsheet or something open, I will talk through any calculations and always read a letter out loud as I'm typing. I think it may be because I am definitely a verbal person...or maybe just a bit odd.

2) I have my own little OCD things I do. Although I do not actually have OCD. I will always count steps when going up or down stairs, Since someone told me there should be 13 in houses, I always count. In any other building where there are stairs which do not add up to 13. I count them, then try to work out if maybe its double 13, or a quarter again etc. If I cant work out a way it works, it will annoy me.

3) My next slightly OCD strange thing, which is hard to explain, is that my hands always have to be equal when I touch something that hurts or is a strange texture. For example, If I rub valor fabric the wrong way and it feels horrible on my skin, I'll have to do the same with the other hand. If I break a nail, or touch something sharp, I will not have to hurt the other hand, but play with both hands, touching them or poking the spot until the other sensations go away and the only sensation left if the poking, so I can make them feel the same. I'm not sure if I explained that well enough, but yes its weird, I know.

4) I make up words for everyone I know. I cannot seem to ever call someone by their name, or an abbreviation. I have too many to list, but giving an example; my mother, I call her Maddie, her name is Coral, but I cannot call her mum, I don't remember where Maddie came from, but I cant call her anything else. Its the same for my whole family, boyfriend, friends and colleagues. They all have nicknames, I suppose you would call them, that sound nothing like their real names and I'm not sure what made me pick them for them, but they cant be called anything else by me.

Lastly...saving the best till last

5) I thought I was a dog for about 6 weeks of my life. Not too much to explain here, I have always been a huge animal lover and having quite an obsessive personality, if I like something, I REALLY like something. I was pretty obsessed with animals in my youth, and when I was about 10, so not even really that young, I WAS a dog, I curled up on the floor and wouldn't sit on couches, I demanded my food in a bowl on the floor, I barked and walked around on all fours. My mum actually really worried about me, but considering I was normal at school, she put it down to an over active imagination and I eventually got through my phase. What? I told you I was weird!

Enjoy my madness!

Summary: Woof woof woof...I mean, Thanks for reading!
