Just for a bit of fun and insight into my life really, you may just think I'm mad by the end of the post

When I was younger I used to:
1) Count every foot step between all the driveways on my way to and from school, oddly the numbers never changed !
2) I didn't walk on any cracks in the pavement, ever...
3) My hands used to have be doing the same actions, open hand, closed hand etc, my mum used to slap them ...
4) If I touched something once with one hand I had to then touch it with the other, God help me if a pattern occurred because it could last for quite a while.
5) Replace 'touch' in the above line with any action

I managed to grow out of or stop the above, but things I still do are:
6) I line things up with my eyes, hard to explain this one but I have to cut objects in half with my nose outline so its exactly 50% each side of the line, even though my nose is not straight and the objects are never normal shapes, I do this all the time.... constantly
7) Replace the nose with any other line in the foregrown, I will use a phone line to cut in half a tree or a house etc...
Talk to myself, alot
9) Never face anyone straight on, I always stand at a 30 degree angle
10) Hate eye contact for more than a few seconds but I try to make an effort
11) I would walk miles rather than catch a bus...
12) Type or write words with capital letters in the middle of them
13) Type or wrtie words with the letters jumbled. always the same words, like you becomes oyu...
14) Get words wrong in sentences, use door instead of window, even when talking to myself !
15) I stammer a little, it used to be extremely bad, barely being able to speak, luckily in the 1970's they would make you stand up in class and read out load (thats sarcasum ) eventually learnt to control it
16) I have a bath every day, I noticed recently that I wash and towel myself the same way everytime, even when trying not to I can't seem to fight it.
17) I love Nature
18) I will buy an old classic car, rebuild it mechanically, get it back on the road and then sell them before finishing it off with a paint job, then go and it all again
19) I am what I refer to as a '5 minute expert' any new hobby or pastime requires me to research info endlessly until I know all the facts and figures there is to know..
20) I live for Rules,
21) I enjoy being on my own
22) I don't need company
23) I rarely sit down and think, 'oh I'm bored what shall I do' I always have stuff to do
24) I am not a jobsworth but I am certainly anal !
25) I hate mess even while making a mess I have to stop what I am doing to clear the mess away even though I will then continue with the task in hand and make more mess, this can be very annoying for me but I still do it
26) Some mess is good, my tool shed is a hell of a mess but I know where evrything is
27) I have tools that I have had for 25 years, they are like friends, if I replace them with a new tool, they get pride of place on a shelf as a mark of respect, they will not be thrown away

There is loads I have missed I am sure, how many struck a chord ?
