Quirks. We all have them. Some are very pronounced and make us stick out in a crowd of "normal people", but most are fairly minor and yet distinct. I love to watch people and sometimes one of the benefits of watching people is picking up on their very unique quirks. For instance:

1. Friend A: Does not like to receive Christmas cards with animals at the forefront of the photo.
2. Friend B: Nibbles on his/her fingers until they are almost scabby.
3. Friend C: Taps foot/feet "nervously" whenever there is idle time or intense conversation.
4. Friend D: Is always moving a toe.
5. Friend E: Cannot help but dance or sing a song for any/every possible occasion.
6. Friend F: Sighs whenever he/she wants to make a point or give the general impression that his/her opinion differs from the common consensus.

So, here's me being vulnerable. :-) {Some of} My quirks are as follows:

1. I love to write the number 8 (so much so that I actually say a prayer of thanks when I get to write one while at work - or perhaps that's a reflection of just how tedious my job really is :-).
2. I count the stairs when I'm going up or down, and always hope for an even number and make sure that I can end up on my right foot (weird, right?)
3. I rub material (usually a blanket, favorite shirt or jeans) between my fingers when I'm thinking.
4. Hearing someone with the hiccups always gives me a laugh attack.
5. If anything is playing out of tune, I get the chills.
6. I could eat blackberries for every single meal for the rest of my life and never get tired of them.
