Like things coming up through the drain pipes? Drain pipes are scary! 😯 😀
That’s only a small portion of what my brain comes up with. x_X I don’t know why my imagination torments me so. Even in my earliest memories I remember being irrationally afraid. Like as a small child if I used the upstairs bathroom, I’d wash my hands, then flush the toilet and RUN downstairs, because if I wasn’t downstairs by the time the toilet flushed “it” would come after me. I had no idea what “it” was, even then.

If it wasn’t already, now it is. 😛
After reading this thread I realized I’m not so weird. 😉
I talk to my house plants and my Windstones. (Yes, put a face on a inanimate object and I bond to it – and I have no pets). Of course, the talking to Windstone thing could have been a offshoot of talking to my stuffed animals when I was a kid. I don’t collect stuffed animals anymore, but I do collect Windstones….
I can’t stand to wear jewelry around my fingers or wrists. It feels like it gets in the way. However, oddly I am attracted to anything shiny (metallic-mirror like or glass like sun catchers). Does that make me part squirrel? (I am definetely part Pack-rat.)
I can relate to Emeralds shopping when stressed thing. I do that, but I’ve been trying to change, but it’s been hard.
I also can’t stand to have sticky hands. (Dirt I can put up with if I’m doing something thats a dusty/dirty job.) I think it comes from the idea that I can’t pick up or touch anything else without getting it all sticky – so I can’t wait to clean off so I don’t have to worry about it.
The hardest thing I’ve had to learn in life is controlling my imagination. If I let it, it runs wildly rampant and that’s not an exaggeration! I could scare the bejabbers out of myself very easily. When I was 7 or 8 years old, I spent most of my free time trying to see down the hallway that was reflected in the bathroom mirror. I wanted to know who lived down that hall? did my reflection have a family that was different from mine? did her outdoors look different from my outdoors? did her teacher at school look different from mine? what happened if I came home from school and my reflection didn’t? would my reflection ALWAYS show up? what if she didn’t?…. etc. On the plus side of that imagination, I always got excellent grades in writing and I was NEVER bored 😀

I think that makes you a magpie. 😀 They are very attracted to everything shiny.
Hmm.. kind of reminds me of one of my friends who buys or orders everything if it’s pretty and shiny.I talk to my animals, but especially my Hedgies. When I give them a bath, I wrap them up in a towel and stick my face close and whisper to them that they are “my little hedgie burrito”. Thorn especially gets mad and shakes his head and tucks his chin down. I am sure he thinks I am nuts.
Chewy (the cat) and I talk to each other all the time and it’s usually having to do with food, and my thinking that she has had quite enough.
I only take my watch off to take a bath.
When I drag race, I must have the stereo up very high, even if it is stupid music 🙂
Most people turn their radios off to race, but it helps me concentrate.The Maroon Camaro in front of me is my husband. And yes that is the BeeGees 🙂

I’m another that feels naked without a watch, but I did start wearing one when I was 7… I take it off to bathe, that’s it. I’ve been told I’m not “normal” too, because I wear it on my right wrist (apparently Right-handers usu. wear it on their left??).
The main quirk of mine that comes to mind is when I eat. I don’t count how many times I chew [anymore], but I do have to even things out in my mouth. I’ll take a bite and chew all on one side, then the next bite HAS to be on the other side, and keep alternating. I’ll take a smaller bite in order to finish evenly. And if it’s colored candy, then the colors have to be even too. If I have an odd piece, I’ll break it in half. I’ve tried not looking at the candy at all, but I feel oddly unsatisfied when I’m done. 😕

So you’re one of those people who’s store I instantly get sucked into while walking by! *shinnyy* It’s cruel how you tempt us poor weak souls! 😆 😆
I talk to my pets and I talk to myself. lol
My job requires me to be social, but outside of work I am pretty quiet and keep to myself. I don’t like crowds…I get claustrophobic. I like the three foot rule and get antsy when strangers invade my space. I always know where the emergency exits are, so I can escape if I have to.

I talk to my Aircraft. I tell them what lovlies they are and how good they are and how those silly pilots just dont know how to treat them and thats why they break. I think it keeps them flying.
sounds like you do some flying of your own!!hahahehe

When I lived in TX in an apartment with Vantid, we had a snail that lived in our shower. We suspect he came in when Vantid brought her dog crate in from outside to wash it down (we didn’t have a hose or a hookup for one at this apartment). He was terribly cute and I loved seeing him every time I went to shower. I would give him a little piece of veggie to eat sometimes. 😉
