No, but since I was about nine I've chewed my finger nails off and put them between two teeth and used my touncgue to wigle it back and forth. it hurts a little but it feels good too. when i was nine and such I used to get small seeds and such form the ground and use them too. I quickly learned that people found this weird..

I bite my finger nails and pick at them.

I do that ALL the time, in fact I was doing it while reading your post. I wonder how many of these are even AS related, and how many are just weird things everyone does, but never talks about.

I love cutting things. I'm making A Beautiful Mind collage right now... :D It's relaxing for some reason. I also order paper doll books that are old clothes from the 20's and 40's or the Civil War, and I cut the intricate clothes out for hours upon end. I don't play with the dolls. I do it solely to cut and revel in the history. I also love making collages because of the repetitive quality of cutting, then outlining where the pictures go, and then taping the pictures down. It's a rhythm.

Well, when I say cutting paper... I don't mean making a collage, or any sort of constructive cut. I don't really do it anymore as much as when I still had a desk, but sometimes I would just put a paper flat, put the point of a knife on the paper, drag the paper, and then be extremely pleased when I pulled the seemingly "joined" two pieces apart, while still having it look so pristine. I really never quite understood this one myself...
