Much as I don't talk about it, I nonetheless have my own little quirks that are more related to my interests. One of my interests is science and reading about science and I even have my own library in which my library is mainly about biology. This usually happens when I'm alone at night and when I'm feeling a bit restless, I take each book and look at the index for subjects that relate to the subject matter which becomes more or less a habit. True, I do read but often times this quirk I have sometimes takes over.

Does this qet any quirkier than this?

I talk to myself
I can't sleep without my tickle (a piece of silky material I like to rub)
I love riding around on buses and actually get depressed when I can't go out and bus ride.
I look like this and can't get a boyfriend:

I don't think things get much weirder/quirkier although I could be wrong about that.

when I was a little kid, the way other more normal kids might sleep with a teddy bear, I slept with a toilet plunger. I did this until my parents took it away from me and stuck it in a pile of loo goo. :hmph:

I've always been lousy at names. I had various pet cats whose names were all "cat."
