    Yeah I've been called a weirdo, but I don't get why people get bent out of shape because I'm looking in their window.

    Better to be weird than boring

    I've seen Requiem for a Dream five times
    There are nights when I'm struck down by the heebiejeebies.
    I sometimes run from the kitchen to my bedroom after turning off the hall light.
    Crumbs in bed don't bother me.
    Keeping my toothbrush in the bathroom makes me feel uncomfortable so I don't.
    For years I could only poo in my own bathroom.
    I send my friend recordings of my voice in scary freaky mode.
    At times I can be quite clumsy and bruise easily. If they are real humdinger I'll take a photo just because.
    I like to save photos of creepy scary ghouls and send them to my friends in the middle of the night.
    When it comes to a particular film genre comedy is my least favourite.

    Yeah, but I consider it a compliment. I'd hate to be ordinary, or the same as everyone else. Be yourself, who cares what anyone else thinks.

    My family think I'm weird because I'm more interested in car engines than buying dresses.

    Because I can be very quiet at times. Yes, I MUST be weird for not blabbing every inane thought that comes into my head, just so I can be seen to be saying something.

    Everybody shaddap :p

    I'm getting a strong mental image of Uma Thurman and John Travolta in Jack Rabbit Slim's here!

    I go to the cinema on my own.

    My wife doesn't have the same taste in movies.

    This makes me very weird and a loser apparently.

    I superglue my toenail clippings to the outside of my workboots as a reminder of weeks past.

    I got called weird today in work.

    Someone was leaving so they left a box of roses. I tipped them out onto the desk and organised them into their own little piles, grouping the same chocolates together and the similar ones beside each other. Oh and symmetrical.

    I see nothing wrong with this.

    People think I'm weird because I'm very quiet around people I don't know. I can never get my words out properly either and when I'm talking to other people I turn red!

    I'm also weird because I LOVE the band Busted, I'm obsessed! (Going to see them Tuesday woooohoooo)

    I'm pretty weird but I don't care. It's my life, no one else's so I'll like what I want and act how I want.

    Why on earth would you do that to yourself?!

    Once was enough for me. Freaks me out for so many reasons. Utterly depressing. Though it is a great piece of film making. But still! Weirdo! :D

    I remember when I was about 20 I was at a house party and a few of the "popular" girls I went to school with were there. One of them was like "Lia_lia, you are actually really nice! You were weird in school, and you still are weird, but you're really actually nice and good fun!". No reason for me being weird. Great I say.

    When someone asks me "how are you?", I'll actually tell them how I am. Weird.

    Probably because I don't fit in like most others, I like to constantly be learning, my downtime consists of me watching a film/documentary on the financial crash.
    I'm learning up on stocks and how to programme as opposed to going out on the weekends.
    I sleep about 6 hours a day.
    I don't want to be part of a group who just waste time and talk nonsense, I'm also quiet, introverted and analytical.

    Or maybe it's because I communicate in random shrieks and screams.. I'm not sure...

    I have two cats.
    I'd rather read a book than watch tv.
    I can hold my wee for hours if I want to.

    We sound ridiculously similar except I currently have 9 cats!

    I don't drink tea or coffee. Trying to tell that to an Irish person, is like telling them they have them you have a terminal illness or something!
