I sleep with a reindeer. Sometimes I watch tv with a snowman. They're very cute. My husband is jealous of the reindeer, so sometimes he pummels him or throws him out of bed, much to my chagrin.

My sister gave me a stuffed cat two years ago for Christmas. She told me it was a "laptop kitty" and it was supposed to always be on my computer. I can't say I particularly played along. Then recently I got a cat that sometimes likes crawling onto my keyboard, so I make them fight. My cat gets pretty pissed off whenever I bring out the laptop kitty now. So really, this is more about one of her quirks than mine.

I like wild and frequent sex, but I'm not a ladies man, i.e. I'm shy around women. I don't really go out much, I'm i my 30's and still single. I don't have any lesions or warts on my face. I'm just one of those INTJ's. Call it what you will.

I play one level of Bejeweled 2 on my PDA every night before sleeping.

My entire morning routine is one big quirk.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, so yeah, my whole life is full of these stupid little quirks...

I'm essentially but not really a vegetarian, because I can't eat meat with any gristle or fat in it. If I do then I start to gag. I always wear two necklaces, not one, not three, definitely never zero. I like bracelets but each bracelet I own belongs to a specific arm; I very rarely wear a right arm bracelet on my left arm. I always hang my toilet paper such that I'm pulling it from on top and not from underneath. I hate visiting the same store twice in the same day. I will travel all the way across the city to a Wal-Mart where I can pick things off the shelves instead of having to ask a salesperson for them, and I absolutely never shop at one of those department stores where people follow me around all the time.

I have specific goodbye routines for the people I talk to the most on MSN, and it disturbs me if they break routine. Also, when I'm online, I have four or five windows open with the pages I like to look at often, and then another page or two for whatever randomness I'm also viewing at the time.

I could go on, but I suspect nobody's still reading by this point...

Do you know that you have Asperger's Syndrome i.e been diagnosed or do you just think you do? I'm curious about the compulsion.
Myself, I often find that I check and recheck many times anything that uses high heat like an iron or stove. Also anything to do with doors; I'll check and recheck to make sure they're closed. I've literally been almost to a place and then turned around and gone back knowing full well that what I'm afraid's on is not or what I'm afraids open is not. Like I said I'll check it before I leave but then I think about it on the way to a place or when I'm there and BAM! I gotta go back to make sure 1 more time!!!
EGAD!!!

After locking the door to my apartment i have to say (out loud) 'door is locked, door is locked' several times whilst testing the door is locked.

On occasions i have forgotten to do this routine only to remember after walking ten minutes down the street. I always walk back to make sure it's locked.


Also, when flying i have to check my passport and tickets are still in my bag. Even if i'm sitting down comfortably on the plane i still feel the need to check they are both still there.


I haven't ever lost my passport/tickets (or had my house/apt burgled) before, surprising, so i don't no where this behaviour has come from. It's been getting worse and worse as well which is a little disturbing.

That quirky enough for you!!

I bash the bishop at least five times a day. I can't get to sleep without.

I have to have at least three pillows at night. Two, in a pinch, or when camping. But I cannot go to sleep with only one pillow. Can't--do--it.
