1. I always get the same exact colthing type - in my case currently jeans and black vest tops with black trainers.
2. I am bad at managing money - got this one, for sure.
3.I listen to the same song over and over again - I determine 'favourite songs' by whether or not I get sick of them while doing this.
4. I am obsessed with things that normal people wont care about - like menstruation.
5. I am 20 and I still watch Mighty morphin power rangers sometimes - I'm 27 and still watch cartoons.
6. I buy things I want right away but never use them ever after once - I'm the queen of impulse buying.
7. Selling things I dont feel I will ever use again - I sell, regret, replace.
8. Fear of certain chemicals - I'm an environmentalist and 'natural lifer'
I'd say these things are normal...but then maybe I'm biased

Yes, but not for 2 years straight. It's more like a month for me, and it's often a whole album.
Yes. I could give a long list of my odd obsessions.
Yes. Tokusatsu and Disney animated films for me.
Yes. All the time.
No. I never get rid of anything, until it is so old that nobody will buy it.
Yes. I am extremely cautious about anything toxic. Some would say paranoid..
Welcome to the club.

When I worked at a machine shop I wore either black or gray t-shirts with black pants. I had 5 black t-shirts and 5 gray t-shirts and 6 pairs of various types of black jeans. I was driving my co-workers nuts so they made me promiss to buy some blue jeans and different colored t-shirts so they could tell the new people I am clean and not some nasty looser who wears the same thing everyday. They would tell people if you look closely each shirt you can see the way the shirt is against his body you can tell they are different shirts each day.

1.) Yes. I always wear jeans, t-shirts (soft ones with either no tags or ripped out tags), and converse (i like to feel the ground beneath my feet).
2.) No. I am pretty OK with managing money. Well...I dunno. Maybe I am bad with it. I have been told that I don't spend money when I should due to excessive worry about prices. There is a reason for that...but I won't go into it.
3.) Yes! I have been known to listen to the same song for up to two months! I thought I was the only one that did that. =]
4.) Yes. I am obsessed with ball pythons (among other things).
5.) Yes. I am also twenty, and I watch Tom & Jerry, Adventure Time (because it is AMAZING!! !) and Phineas and Ferb.
6.) No. I rarely get what I want. When I do, I use it.
7.) No. I....can't get rid of anything easily. I have a phone that I need to sell now because I need money and I have another one that I use (phone company sent me an upgrade).
8.) Yes! I am really freaked out by cigarette smoke. Also, I am allergic to something in it.

1. I always get the same exact colthing type Check, I were the same shorts and t-shirt everyday.
2. I am bad at managing money Check, Check, and Check
3.I listen to the same song over and over again like 2 years straight like i had once =( I normally listen to a whole variety of music, though sometimes I get "stuck" on a song, and I'll keep listening to it over and over.
4. I am obsessed with things that normal people wont care about! Yep.
5. I am 20 and i still watch Mighty morphin power rangers sometimes HAHA i know i am too old for it but for somereason i watch and sometimes watch rugrats I don't, but I also don't have cable so I can't watch them... i used to be OBSESSED with the Power Rangers.
6. I buy things i want right away but never use them ever after once. Like a game i got call of duty black ops i used it twice and it has been collecting dust since. I don't do this often, of course, I'm really broke... so I can't really afford to buy things unless I'm certain I'll use it. If I wasn't broke I'd probably do this a lot.
7. Selling things i dont feel i will ever use again like my Nintendo DS. I sold my old one 5 months ago and just bought another one 3 weeks ago. Just the opposite, I never get rid of stuff... I mean, you never know when you might need a power cord for a original Nintendo...
8. Fear of certain chemicals like methanol and cigarette smoke cigarette smoke is a big one for me, I had asthma when I was young and cigarette smoke was the only thing that triggered it...

I like your response to the statements. It fits me well, as well.
I'm always sad when I run out of my regular outfit due to all items being dirty.
I had a friend that like the Power Rangers, does that count?
I'm also broke and use the hell out of everything I can obtain. Also a huge DIY'er.
And while I'm not a packrat, selling off things that are valuable is simply impossible for me. I carefully research each purchase I make and everything I own is of good quality. Selling it would, even if I made a capital profit, result in a net loss of valuable time which I'm absolutely impoverished of.
