I sometimes drape an arm over my head when doing things like watching TV or something. The only time my arm raises without me paying attention to it is when I drink. Maybe I'm better at controlling it while sober, but I usually end up with my right hand by my face. I'm not resting my head on my hand or anything, it's just up by my face.

I can relate! Thank God for this group. Everyone mimics me at work now and I didn't realize I had so many unique mannerisms. I actually will walk waving one arm but not the other.

You guys are in famous company. The Confederate general, Stonewall Jackson went about with an arm in the air. He claimed that "it restored the balance", whatever that means.
