I'm going to bed after this, I swear. The mosquito in here isn't making it very easy, though.
Anyway, I feel really uncomfortable after a theatrical film is over. I don't really know how to explain why. Every time, though, I always end up thinking, "Oh, it's over, and everyone's getting up. Guess I should, too." Then, I kind of just stick my hands in my pockets as I quietly shuffle out along with everyone else, staring at the floor or at the walls. Maybe, for some reason, I just don't like talking about the movie while moving. I say "we" because I never go to the theatres alone. That's so boring. Anyway, I find this particular quirk of mine very frustrating.
And what's that new attachment thing that prompts one when they make a new topic? When did that get there? Nobody tells me anything!
*Formerly titled "Awkward Moments in Typical Life." Take your pick. And I must've edited this like nine ten times. There's another one. I'm sure there hasn't been a single post in the past year that I've neglected to edit at least once. It's an obsessive compulsive, I tell you.

I hate not being able to finish a sentence. It happens to me all the time. I've got like, one word left to say, and it just doesn't come out. It frustrates me to no end for looking like such an idiot.

I don't know about not being able to finish a sentence, but I sure do bumble my words a lot. I'm about to say something, but a "better" word pops into my head as I'm saying it, so those two words kind of come out as one. My cousin gives me a hard time about that. That's why I like writing, where there's alt + Z.

That's why I like writing, where there's alt + Z. I was just about to make a post about this when I read yours. Yeah. I do that a lot. It pisses me off. I've found that just committing to the first sentence in your head, all the time, every time, helps. Like, just willing yourself to stick with the first thing that comes to mind. |

I absolutely hate the telephone, especially if it is me making the call (except to Angela of course). I don't know what it is, but I can't stand calling people on the phone. I would much rather do something in person. Maybe it is because phone calls can be so fast-paced, and my mind just does not run as fast as the conversations sometimes.

I can agree that being unable to finish a sentence is a quirk of mine, but I find it more frustrating knowing that you start speaking, but you're interrupted mid-sentence, and then once they're done, you forget what you were going to say. I hate that.
I also hate missing easy notes on Rock Band 2. If I play through hard sections in a song, I'm not fussed, because I know I'll miss a note or two through them due to the difficulty, but in the simplest of song sections, it's a completely different story, especially if it is an intro, I'll suddenly restart the song. Though I'm aware that people would have to be in my shoes to understand how this feels.
... I also don't like health stealing Neanderthals in some games too, especially on coop Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I hate that I sometimes say the word "comma" when I talk.
...does that count? XD

Oh, yeah, something that frustrates me more than anything, and it most often happens when watching cartoons or something, I can't stop picturing the voice actors in my head and how they act when they voice those zany characters.

I never finish anything I start. Usually I get half way through a project then think 'hey, I've got another idea' then move on to something else. Rinse, repeat.

The fact that even though I could do something constructive, such as learn Polish or figure out how to use Slackware, I'd rather do nothing but spend hours playing Tetris.
Not that Tetris is terrible or anything. Nor that I have anything absolutely legitimate to do for another two weeks.

I have terrible OCD disorder. Things must be a certain way, or must either be complete or not attempted at all. No shades of grey. I hate it D:
I also tend to rage quit if I can't 1-credit-clear a Mega Man title.

Sometimes I'm completely unaware of the facial expression I'm making. Like, friends will think I'm angry or disappointed or disgusted or something along those lines, even though I'm feeling totally content. I think it has to do with genetics. So, I make an effort to smile a lot so that I don't come off as angry or unapproachable XD
I'm also sometimes unaware of my tone of voice. Kurtis has told me that I sometimes sound sarcastic or upset from the sound of my voice, even though I was not trying to sound that way. It's a little hard to watch the sound of my voice, so I'm hoping I haven't come off as rude to people who don't know about this quirk of mine D:
I'm also a procrastinator. Whoo!

I make this weird "heh" noise after every sentence when I'm nervous. Unfortunately being nervous about that makes me even more nervous, and you see where this is going.
Projects that I've put down, even bad ones, will haunt my conscience until I at least make an effort to finish them.
It makes me angry when people say "and the moral of that story was..." or something along those lines. It just feels ten times more cheesy if people come out and say there was a moral to a movie or book, even if there already obviously was one. You will not catch me saying it!

I hate it D: It doesn't really annoy me, but is the indirect result of annoyance, because I am that way, too -- but I live with two people who are not, and so that kind of causes problems sometimes. x 3 |

I overuse smilies because if I don't use them I feel that I can't get my point across without them. :C That or if I say something sarcastic a happy smiley makes sure I don't come off as mean, I think. :U But yes, if I could stop I would!
I talk really really really fast so it's hard to understand what I say sometimes and I need to sloooooow down. I'm such a spaz.

I often find that other peoples quirks annoy more than my own do.
Unless that counts as a personal quirk? I don't want to get too meta here.
No wait, I have a real one. I talk too fast, then I have to waste time talking slower so people can actually understand what the hell I'm actually saying. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember and it doesn't look like I'm going to stop any time soon.

Yeah, I kinda do this, too. x 3 I think everything I say comes out nice'n clear and easy to comprehend, but i guess I'm alone in that... l3... |
