Yeah this is me laying under a car.
- I have to have the toilet paper on the roller a certain way. If it isn’t on correctly, I will take it off the roller and turn it around right.
- When I’m saying a word, I see it in my head. I didn’t realize this until I started pronouncing words I had only heard(on TV or something) how they were spelled, NOT how I had heard them. Like Sybil on Downton Abbey. I would pronounce her name differently than I was hearing it because I was, unconsciously, reading it in my mind how I imagined it to be spelled and therefore before my brain could connect that I’d heard it differently, I said it how I thought it was spelled. I do this all the time. It’s really weird.
- Books that I read a long ways back I often think are movies because of how well my imagination created the world I was reading about. For instance, I’ve thought I watched a Boxcar Children movie because I read them when I was younger and I still remember specific SCENES as if I had watched a movie. Even now, when reading a book I’m really into I will, when thinking about going to continue the story, think “Press play” as if I am going to continue a movie before realizing it was a book.
- I cannot sleep with blankets on my feet unless it is REALLY cold. And sticking limbs off the side of the bed? Ne
- I like the smell of books and money and it causes people to give me weird stares a lot.
- According to my dad, one of my quirks is that I’m a dork. Fairly certain that’s not technically a quirk but whatever.
So…I guess that’s it. For now.
Dang.

-Understandable. Backwards is just dumb.
-That is quite the quirk!
-I have somewhat of a similar quirk, I guess. I picture everything I read in a book as if it’s in a movie. I can imagine what actors would play them (unless they’re deserving of a made up actor), what they would sound like, the ambiance of the environment, and so on. That’s why I have a hard time watching some movies after reading the book they’re based off of. I have a set picture of what it would look like in my head (even if it’s against the description given in the book), and the movie would be different, throwing me off. We’ve talked about this before, what we imagine the Eragon series should look like in movie form.
-I can’t sleep with a blanket over my feet if I’m wearing socks. Makes my feet too hot. Unless it’s really cold inside.
-Gotta love the smell of books, especially new ones. And money can smell good. But I have to ask myself: when did I start smelling money?

- Yes I know this already obviously.
- Mhmm. It’s weird.
- I usually imagine all my characters without linking them to actors. But like you, I do sometimes picture them differently than they describe. Sometimes it’s simply because I don’t like the description the author gave.
And don’t get me started on Eragon.
- I can’t sleep with socks on.
- Yes…I was avoiding asking myself the same question.

I relate to all of these quirks. Except for the books one. I do NOT like the smell of books. I do like the smell of bacon, though.
Kait
Bacon is awesome.
