    This may sound real odd from someone who works on a boat but I get motion sickness. If I am in something moving, I HAVE to be able to see outside or I get sick. I can't ride a bus unless I sit up front where I can see, can't ride in a enclosed van and I found out last trip on the boat I work on, that if they cover the windows (to spray paint), I also get sick.

    Phobias- I have a slight phobia of drowning. I have had two close experiences as far as drowning goes so if I go to a waterpark, I am always really wary and stuff.

    Weird Habbits- I have a really weird habbit of eating half of things. For example, if I have two enchiladas, I will eat half of both of them. I can't stand to eat a whole one.

    I always lick and wipe off my lips. I always have a napkin or something on my person. I lick my lips and then I wipe the spit off with a napkin. I can't stand having dry lips but I also can't stand to have chapstick or anything like that on my lips.

    Like others, no food can touch. If my parents would mix my food, I would refuse to eat it. I don't know why but I think it's gross.

    I have to do my 'night ritual' before I go to bed. It's an order of how I get ready for bed- first I pee, brush teeth, wash face, change into PJs, brush hair, unmake bed, say goodnight to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING living in my house at least twice, bless myself with holy water, put cream on my hands and drink some water and THEN go to bed.

    No matter what Ted and Terry wrote, Jack and Liz love each other.

    Well hubby gets up for work about 2 hours before me lol so he takes them out the first time in the morning. I just take them out before work to make sure it's all out of their system lol.

    I am also afraid of storms. LOL we had a really bad one here the other night and we got hail..... and apparently hail is sometimes a precurser to a Tornado which is wht I am REALLY terrified of. I was almost ready to herd everyone into the basement. when I was a kid I always went to my moms room at night during a storm.... UNTIL they moved my room to the basement and I knew that I would be safe in the basement during a tornado. even though I have NEVER witnessed a tornado.

    Also, I cannot sleep with a sheet (except for the fitted sheet that covers the mattress). I sleep with a comforter ONLY. Even when I go to a hotel the first thing I do is untuck the sheet and take it off the bed. and I CANNOT have the comforter tucked in at all.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Same I hate them, they seem pointless too they are so thin. I can sleep with 2 comfortors but not sheets. I also hate it being tucked in anywhere I like to bunch it all up with my body.

    Phobias - I'm scared to death of chickens. It's a long story. I also really hate rats, mice (at least the non-pet kind), Willabeth. Don't even ask about Willabeth, I believe only Monica would understand that one .

    Habits - I bite my nails constantly. My toenails too. I have to eat one food at a time, I hate my food touching. I also say lol too much when half the time I don't even mean it.

    Edit: and on the sheets thing, I hate sheets. I'll sleep with them but they absolutely have to be untucked or I can't stand them whatsoever.

    Phobias: I guess my biggest phobia is losing a family member/close friend. I get paranoid if my mom or dad doesn't answer their cell phone when I call because I think something might have happened. I also hate people touching my neck, I'm not sure why, but I absolutely can't stand it.

    Habits: The first thing I do when I get home every day is turn on the computer. This is one bad habit :P

    I have a weird phobia and a normal phobia. First of all, my weird phobia are the pillsbury biscuits that are in the canister things that you need to unwrap and "pop". I flip out. I can't even be around when they're popped. I don't know why. My hubby laughs at me every time I ask him to pop the biscuit can for me and then high-tail it out of the kitchen. I don't even LIKE to hear the POP from another room hehe.

    Another fear (not sure if it's extreme enough to be a phobia) are bees, hypodermic needles, fish hooks, cockroaches and elevators. I'm also afraid of airplanes but I love traveling so I don't let it consume me.

    Weird habits...well I'm kind of a germ-a-phob. I use hand sanitizer ALL the time. I know that it could make super-germs in the future, but I still have to use it. I also can't stand when there's so much as a speck on my monitor...my monitor must be crystal clear. If I or a cat happens to sneeze and a minute speck gets on my monitor, I must immediately wipe it with cleaner. Not only do I not want specks, but also don't want a single streak, so I turn the monitor off so I can make sure it's good and crystal-clear.

    Oh my gosh, I feel so normal all of a sudden reading everyones posts normal and well just ok. My only problem is I don't like spiders and ants, other then that I am good. I can be alone, in an elevator in the dark. LOL I am good with change and can adapt to just about anything, anywhere. I don't do well in hot weather however.

    Phobias:

    Pigs

    Primates and such. Especially monkeys.

    Germs.

    The unknown.

    Quirks:

    Stepping over the cracks in the sidewalk (I don't want it to collapse. LOL. It was just a game i used to play.)

    I prefer even numbers. I had to break myself of this becoming obsessive when i was younger. It got to the point where i was even repeating myself so what i said would come out in even numbers!

    Many of my other quirks can be blamed on a different sensory input. I feel things more than most people do. I tend to avoid water for as long as possible because i hate the feel of it. (I don't let that cause poor hygiene though.) I HAVE to wear footwear almost all the time and can't stand wrinkles in my sheets or socks. A bunch of other stuff i can't remember right now... just because it's a daily thing and who i am.

    I LOVE the smell of skunks.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    I remembered another one. I am terrified of being locked in a store when they close up. Ya know how they announce, "Shoppers, X-Mart will be closing in 15 minutes. Please take your items to the registers." Well, I drop everything on the floor and fly out the doors!

    I used to do this when shopping with my Mom, drove her nuts. I mean, we'd spent an hour trying on clothes and figuring out which color, size, and all of a sudden, I was GONE! I'd wait out on the sidewalk for her to get through the register, panicking that SHE was going to get locked in.

    Lately, I don't even go to stores that late, which is why I had to think a bit to remember this one.

    We have a few things in common, but backwards! I have sensory issues too but I LOVE the feel of water, it's almost magic for me. Just thinking about tissue or wet fabric touching my tails gives me goosebumps and makes my teeth hurt! I always hated socks because of the annoying seams by the toes.
