I've got questions that I'm not sure whether I want them answered.

I've been known to get really into reading something, and make random facial expressions as I'm either enacting the scene I'm reading, or something I'm creating for my own stuff. I've been seen glaring off into space by random people who thought I was pissed at them. It's a habit I can't break since I read a lot, so it's gotten me in trouble a bit. Or into situations that were easy to explain away, but overall awkward to be involved in.

I pace a lot. A lot. If I'm not sitting down, I'm pacing. Peeps think I have restless legs syndrome but idk about that.

I have this weird fetish about women wearing those long sweaters that are basically one piece dresses, but like sweaters. Normally the women who wear them don't wear pants or anything underneath them. It's essentially a dress I suppose...but not. I don't know what their called and it's very rare I see any one wear them. I'm not sure its big out here in the Mid-West. But anyway, if I see a pretty girl wearing them, I get a boner that I have absolutely no control over. Game over.

I still ride a bike even though I'm capable financially of owning a car. An ex-girlfriend of mine basically demanded I get one of those large baskets attached to the front so she could sit in it while I rode. She was kinda petite so it worked and I still have it attached. People make fun of it sometimes but I'm not bothered by it. It's actually come in handy quite often. I don't know why I don't get a car, since I'm the only one of my friend group that doesn't have one. But, I live in the big city and pretty much anything I want or need, I can walk or bike ride to so...

I bite my fingernails. Life-long habit. Have never once used a fingernail clipper. I bite them off. Started when I was like 4 and just continued.

I have this thing where if I make a random sounds, or do a random gesture, usually while alone, I have to do it either 3 times, or 9 times, or at most 11. Always those three numbers. 3 or 9 or 11. I don't know why, but I have to. I don't have OCD, since thats really the only pattern thing I do that I can think of, but it has to be those numbers. If I mess up the counting, I start over and do it again.

I drink a margarita or a lemon drop every night. Just one mind you. One has Tequila, the other has Vodka. But I basically have a pint or a fifth of both sitting in my fridge for that very reason. I'm not sure why, and I'm not considered an alcoholic since I only drink one and with me being primarily Scottish with (maybe) some Welsh heritage, it would take a whole hell of a lot more to get me drunk. I rarely if ever drink any other time of the day or ever, unless with friends and thats usually at one of their houses since I live in an area they don't like driving through normally. Especially on weekends. High crime rate where I'm at.

I used to smoke cigs when I was 13 up until I turned 17 and then I quit randomly and never started back. Why? I saw Clint Eastwood in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly smoking and I thought it looked cool as hell so I just had to do it.

I refuse to text. I have a cell phone but I do not text. People text me and I read them, but I do not text. Its a weird quirk of mine I guess that friends have expressed issues with, but have since worked around. I used to have people text me telling me to call them, and I guess that just broke me from texting since it aggravated the hell out of me. Not even sure why.

I'm not really sure if my personality is interesting or not, but I'm usually called the "Strong but Silent type" by friends and exes. Sounds boring to me. Cliche even. So I assume if fit for this thread.
