What are your idiosynchrasies?

[Scrooge McSam]

I'm slipping. I missed "Penis Land" completely.

Damn context!

'Penis Island'. I'd tune in to that reality show...

[mousepod]

Yeah, penisland.com is a classic URL.

This is funny, too. But it seems not to be true...

This one is real, though.

the two above links refer to powergenitalia and speedofart.

I too sleep backward on my bed when I can't sleep.

I hoard paper of all sorts the have a ritual purge when it gets overwhelming. My desk has always been a natural attractant for loose bits of paper, no matter how useless, I hate tossing it, just in case.

I love gadgets and toys but I refuse to get a PDA.

When I doodle, it's always a landscape of weird ferns and jungle plant life with animal eyes peeking out

I think this counts as an idiosynchrasy.

When my promotion kicked in I grabbed a spiralbound notepad. I am going to be in different buildings with different bosses and needed to keep things straight. I love my notebook now, and it's absolutely indespensible.

The idiosynchratic part is that I know that the best thing about it is it's just a lined pad of paper. No special sections or boxes or whathaveyou such as in day planners. I make each page what I want it to be - calendar, to-do list, notes from a meeting, thoughts I have later, numbers I've crunched. I've got numbered lists and questions and scribbled facts, all wherever I want them to be.

I also realize that a Palm Pilot or similar technology isn't for me either. So many limitations there. Plus I have to learn how to write on it, remember to keep the battery charged, etc. I keep thinking of how quickly I access all my info on my paper notepad and realize that a computer would be a lot more hassle. Sure, my notes don't chime at me to remind me of things, but I use it so continuously that I can't forget what's in there anyway.

In that one way I'm definitely a dinosaur, I guess.

I MUST have something in my pockets. And more, precisely, it MUST be the right something. Wallet on the right, keys on the left. If they're not there, I continually go through the, "Oh crap, where are my keys/wallet! Crap! Crap!...oh, right, they're in the bag" cycle until they return (except when I'm sitting at home). Even now that I have my man purse, I keep my wallet and keys in my pockets (well, for that reason and because I can't fathom losing wallet, keys, money, ID, credit cards, etc. all in one fell swoop should I leave my man purse somewhere. I'm slightly less likely to leave my pants somewhere).

Which pocket holds your silly putty?


I sometimes play with Scotch tape at my desk while I think. I stick it to my fingers and unstick it and then I roll it up into a little tube and throw it away. Then I do it again... Weird, no?

I chew on paper clips. One of my front teeth is worn down from my habit.

I always keep the clock in my car exactly ONE minute fast. I reset it every month or so.

I am addicted to traffic reports when I in my car. Know what time they play on a number of stations and can jump from report to report with fairly good consistency. Even listen to them when I am just tooling around surface streets when traffic reports are totally irrelevant to me.
