bed related? or in general? because you know this could go south pretty quickly.

I sleep w/ a towel on my pillow. have for years. I dunno, terrycloth is just comforting.

general strange habits

I chew gum while sleeping

I design while sleeping

i sleep while designing

sleep..




what's that ?

i always get the brightest ideas when i'm comfortably lying in bed and ready to shut off my system, and i always tell myself ill remember them later because i don't feel like getting up just to write everything down. and then the next morning i'm blanked out again with nothing to start with. right, so now, whenever i'm desparate i set my alarm 10 min in advance then fool my body into thinking it's actually gonna get some rest, 10 minutes later i get that crappy reality shock but the thoughts are still there. works 80% of the time. haha yeah not so much of a strange habit but it's a really good tip.

I've gotten so accustomed to working with headphones on, that much of the time I put them in compulsively and never actually turn on music. A cool byproduct of this habit that I acquired in arch school is that I can hear everything that's going on, but other people think I'm listening to music. When someone wants my attention, they usually shout my name and start waving their hands, which is funny.

i'm doing the headphones no music thing right now. You can help the sell if you bob your head along with a beat.

The head-bob is good. Occasionally, I play the air-drums, as well.

How bout other peoples strange habits. My favorite is John Ronan gnawing on his hand when he gets bored on a jury.

Personal strange habits....waking up and sketching out a design that came to you in your sleep. But that's not strange right?

Sometimes when I'm bored, like sitting in class or a jury, I pull out my facial hairs. But not really anymore since I switched back to a blade razor from electric.

There is this girl at school that tugs on this lock of hair all day, everyday. It's annnoying.

I hate when people have that habit of moving their mouth as though they are chewing gum, but they aren't.

My dad has developed that old-man habit of sucking on his teeth which is really annoying. I get trapped in the car with him for hour-long rides to the airport and all I can think about is the vortex of smacking noises I'm trapped in.

My roommate also pulls at her hair constantly. She does this while talking to you and it's very distracting.

As for me... I have long hair, and it gets all over my hands in the shower when I wash it, so I stick it on the wall to get it off and keep it from clogging up the drain. Then I spend the rest of the shower noticing naked female shapes in the strands of the hairs on the wall. It's like my own personal Rorshach... except it's always sinewy, naked women with long hair--never any other shapes. I like this habit, though.

i chew gum incessantly. and when the flavor dies i spit out the piece and pop in a new one. so there is constant renewal of flavor. this habit, i've been told by my boyfriend, is odd AND wasteful.
and i snap my gum. but that's probably more annoying than strange. i've gotten a lot better at not doing it but i think i still do it. or so i'm told.

i like to swallow my gum after the flavour goes off, been doing that for ages. so now if that 7 year myth is true i guess there's a huuge chunk of gum lying somewhere in my stomach, or a gum coating developing on the walls. u can't really tell from the outside though.

i crack my toes (with my other toes). so i'll pop my foot out of my shoe just for a bit, crack my big and index (is that term appropriate for toes?) toe and slip it back in the shoe.

Superglue, I do the same thing...
About half of the books I own are stacked up by my bed. But then again, half of the clothes I own are on my couch and half of the shoes I own are on the floor outside my closet.

i've got this habit of thinking 'ctrl+z, ctrl+z, 'ctrl+z!!!!!' whenever i fuck something up, dropped some eggs from the fridge tonight but they remained broken on the floor despite my mental 'computer plea' for undoing... scary, i think i might need a break from the digital world.

Yup, got the headphones no music thing going on here too.

I have a strange habit of watching Time/Life music infomercials from start to finish. For some reason these things totally fascinate me, the archival footage and odd songs I've never heard before are mesmerizing. Even after they've started showing the same footage and songs, I can't turn away.

doberman i think ctrl+z all the time! threadless has a tshirt with that on it. threadless rules.

I have a bad habit of looking at this website too much.

My boss pulls on his facial hair. Eyebrows to be specific and only when he's stressed out or listening to you butcher the explanation of some design concept. If at some point throughout your presentation of "Alternative A" your boss pulls his eyebrow out...you should start thinking more seriously about "Alternative B". Everybody always picks B anyways.

His eyebrow pulling (or my design skills, whichever the case may be) got so bad that we did some investigation. We found that this is a serious disease called Trichotillimania and there is at least one online support group. [url=http://www.trichsupport.com]here[url]

I also have a habit of setting my alarm for 5am even though I fully intend on getting out of bed at 7. I've somehow conviced myself that this snoozing condition will make me aware that I am sleeping and thus aware of how great it feels to be sleeping in until 7. This really pisses my girlfriend right off. We're working on it.

God, I want to pick all those little stars off my screen! How are those supposed to help someone with a compulsive disorder?

My father had a student who had it. The girl without eyebrows story was a popular cautionary tale growing up.

your father should send the poor girl a card on June 22nd. Its is International Trich Day afterall.

I have another.

i go to work on weekends (almost twice a month)

i do often because my hair's wet (shower before beddibyez)
or i use something else as bulky, such as one of those plaid shirt-jackets.

i try not fall asleep with pen or pencil in bed. i visualize rolling over it and having it jam in my eye. (one eyed e909, not a pretty sight)

i try to sleep while "sleeping"
now lets ask mikey.

hibz:
yeah, and i need a waterproof drawing pad for ideas (yah, like those brilliant operetta lyrics) that come while in the shower.

hey sherri24, i can pat gum while chewing my stomach.

that's taking the rundown batteries technique too far.

what're they chewing? tobacco? cud? inside of cheek? tongue?

their batteries?

I'm sleeping with two more books I bought today.

{add one to Brazilian Wax for Xmas list}

i thought that was the "playing with matches" fable?

i'm sleeping now. but you knew that.

menage a text

try a can of spray paint

i'm sleeping now. can't you tell?

^^^^
that's too much!!!!!

a guy in my office trims his nails at his desk. if that's not a strange (read: bad) habit, i don't know what is.
i hear the noise of the clippers and i cringe.

haha .. nevermore .. too funny ..

one of them axe mouse pads ?

disappointed that his hand found Mouse instead of (!)

likr marcel proust, i do all my work in bed...unfortunately, i'm underemployed...

performing 'peg' as acapella beatbox counts as a strange habit. not one of mine, mind you.

steven you and liberty should use this version of peg as a framework for your class. now drink your big black cow and get out of here...

okay i just downloaded "show biz kidz" a compilation of steely dan tunes. all their songs are about drugs you know. which one is dan??

you don't wanna call nobody else.
