If I notice a mistake while I'm typing (or if, you know, something just gets underlined in red), instead of just clicking-and-fixing, I always delete everything I've written since the mistake, fix it, and type everything all over again. Even if I'm already several lines in.

That, and I can be a bit of a perfectionist.

I always have to pace back and forth really fast or look out of a window while I'm on the phone. I don't know why.

I can usually recongise the scent of anything if I've smelt it before. Actually, I'm just good at smelling stuff, which is rather weird. o_O

I make random sounds all the time.

Also, if I'm alone, there has to be complete silence; I can't stand talking to myself. XD
I don't exist. omo

About 70% of the people I know IRL who use computers do that.

That gets them a yelling-at if I'm around.
I need a new sig. >_>

I also do that xD I hate having to take my hands away from the keyboard, then using the mouse to fix it, then having to type in the correct spelling, then having to use the mouse/arrow keys/etc. to go back to the bottom again.

I use huge gestures when I'm trying to explain myself.
I fluff up my hair a lot.
I talk too much when I'm nervous.
I say the words "cool" and "sure" far too much.

I always put a blanket over the back of the computer chair so nobody can see my lower back or feet. Im not deformed or anything, I just like it that way.

I have a bunch of Star Trek mugs shaped like character heads. I get worried about throwing away breakable things, so whenever a light burns out, I put the light bulb in one of the mugs. It looks like they all have really great ideas.

When I do non-school writing, I have to lay on the floor on my stomach. Otherwise I just cant write well.

I keep a lamp on in my bedroom at all times. Even when I sleep

Im more afraid of pretend monsters than real life things. I live in the Zombie Capital of the Known Universe or something. Record breaking zombie walks, huge zombie fests, a popular zombie movie filmed at the local mall, all sorts of stuff. And zombies are my number one ultimate fear. :oops:

Thats all I can think of.

I can read upside down and mirror writing without any kind of mirror.

None of us are normal, Kat. ;D

I think there's a part of my that's slightly obsessive complusive, because there are sometimes when I just get like "CLEANING CLEANING HOW I LOVE THE CLEANING CLEANING" (lolz Fairly Odd Parents joke). XD
That's about all I can think of, though.

I make up nonsense words to describe my frustration(Glork Bruarrrrngh!)

Mine is drarrghinstuffles!

I have to be covered up in a heavy blanket when I sleep, even in july.
I have escape routes planned form my house if zombies or other creatures were ever to break in. Same with my bffs house.
I hate showers, they make me feel claustrophobic for some reason.
Same with bunk beds.
I cannot stand complete silence in a room. I turn on the tv/music or start talking to myself to make some noise.

Another one I noticed earlier today:
I always cap or click the tips down on pens. I cannot stand the thought of the possibility of a dry pen.

I like to play my music loud, but I don't like wearing my headphones properly. I either wear only one side or set them right in front of my ears. x)

I always get a fork for my dinner despite the fact I always end up using my fingers...

Ditto for me, but I include a knife, spoon and plate too.

I can't stand complete silence, either. I have to have noise.

I listen to music while I sleep, but it can't be quiet, it has to be like rock or something.

I say like and or something waaaaay too much.

I make up nonsense words and use them.

I have to make my bed before I can sleep. Even if I don't make it in the morning.

I can't sleep on an air mattress.
I can't have my foods touch each other on a plate. Yuck. If I use gravy, for example, then the gravy has to stay on my potatoes even if I use it on something else. God forbid my potato gravy touches my chicken or it's gravy.

I'm the same way. Except I don't like gravy.

I get carsick. Very easily.

I don't like wooden roller coasters, only metal ones. Wooden ones a) make me sick and b) make me feel like they're going to break.
