Kekekeke.
Come on, we all have some weirdness in us! What are yours? XD
Me, I tend to laugh. A lot. It's not even a nervous laugh. It's one of those happy laughs where you'd be :D and laughing and the other person would be like "Why are you even laughing? It's not (that) funny. :("
I'm surprised I didn't laugh much in my goofy video tour of my room or in any of my scary audio guides. :/
What else?
- Oh, I talk to myself when I'm alone. Oh, fuck replacing that emoticon! .________________________.;;;
- I sing to songs on the radio/iPod when driving. Sometimes loudly.
- I use Q-Tips in my ears several times a day. (There's not even THAT much wax to justify it but it's gotten into a habit since I had the damn infections a while back.)
- I ALWAYS turn off vibration for PS2 games. :B
Hirm. That's about it for now~

That should do for now, I think. (: Cool topic idea, though! But you added pet peeves! ;o;~! Now we need a topic for pet peeves! My list would be infinite. :( Woah. I'm being Rickrolled right now. D: |

Also, I think pet peeves count as quirks, don't they? Well, I was thinking more like the strange and peculiar habits! :D And yeah, lots of oddness comes out of 4chan. >_> |

Using q-tips in your ears will GIVE you infections - not prevent them. It specifically says "do not use them in your ears on the package" for a reason. Myself? Tons. Regular changes in personality, for example.  You've spotted it I'm sure. Sorry, I'm drunk now. I'm browsing the internet on a party to check ALOY. Quirk? Might be just that. |

The 12 year old thing MIGHT not be true, but why would I like about the other thing. It is amddness, madness I tell you!

Uh oh. Next thing you know, FM-77's gonna start smoking.  My quirks... well, I'm weird, don't really know how to socialize offline. I do roll myself up in a burrito, but only in cold climates. Sometimes I go into clothing stores to act goofy and try on stuff I WON'T buy -- just for the hell of it. When people try to talk to me, I try to act all dark to get them to go away. I laugh at the stupidest things; it doesn't matter what it is. I recently picked up a snorting-laugh. I don't cry at funerals, and I talk about everyone I hate (in real life) behind their backs anonymously. I have trust issues, but I'm starting to unravel and become more open. I blast metal, rock, oldies, techno, breakup songs, and other junk when my parents start fighting. (This is a frequent occasion.) I also sing "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" when I'm in the fruit section of a major grocery chain, I don't care who's around. I hate being skinny and aspire to one day put on weight. |

My quirks... well, I'm weird, don't really know how to socialize offline. Same here. ;o;! Some people try and do small talk with me but I'm the type has the one-word answers/don't elaborate. It's really weird over the phone cuz there would be silence for a while. ^^ I'm just not very talkative cuz I don't know what to talk about (and cuz I don't care about a lot of stuff to begin with ^^). Oh yeah, it's also hard to me to think up lies and excuses on the spot. And there were many times where I think back on conversations and wonder why I didn't say this or say that or that would have been a better reply, etc. :/ |

My quirks... well, I'm weird, don't really know how to socialize offline. Same here. ;o;! Same here! Only that I'm probably just as bad online. D': (Sending mails to someone you've never talked to, introducing yourself at a new forum, etc... eeep!) And the worst is I have to meet a LOT of people offline! AND act very nice and social! I end up babbling a lot in panic and most definitely sound like an utter fool. DX I just thought I was a silly idiot though. -___-' (that DOES NOT apply to anyone else who suffers from this!) Er... Anyways, what I did consider weird: 1) I love boxes! All sorts! And I love sorting, labeling, and putting each and everything properly in its proper box (or folders). Alphabetically! *freak* (and if the thing doesn't have a box, I make/buy the box!) 2) Can't sleep if I'm facing towards the left? |

I don't normally drink. It happens around five times a year, if even that. I guess that could be considered a quirk too, considering almost everyone seems to drink at least once a week.

!!!! More weird quirky things! - I disable smiley graphics anywhere that they're available. :B The only exception is the mood set at Livejournal cuz it's cute! - Do not like the smell of alcohol so I don't drink beer, champagne -- any of that stuff! - Cute things make me happy! (Example: www.phoophie.com/store/) Although I don't think Kogepan or Tarepanda is cute. :E Oops. Forgot to mention that I adore cute stationery especially lettersets! :D |

What the fuck is wrong with you guys, beer is the shit!!!!!
I love getting home from a hard days work, cracking a cold one, and posting my ass off on the forum. One of the best ways to whined down when the day is done.

I like fire. I like fire a lot. Like, there's a cornfield outside my window, across the road. And every day I look at it and think: "Man, imagine how awesome that'd be if it were all on fire."
I tend to have to keep my hands busy a lot. Like, while just sitting at the computer and reading something, I typically pick up something and play with it. Or drum my fingers or steeple and unsteeple my hands slowly.

Same here. Especially if something bad happens; getting into fights, etc., I tend to get all OCD about it.
Heh. I have to toss and turn like crazy, moving my arms to different angles and my legs to different angles. I almost never sleep the same way twice. I occasionally kick when I'm tired, like someone who has RLS. I also snore when I'm sleep deprived, even if I'm awake. In other words, I'll hear myself snoring and be conscious of the fact, but I won't be able to do anything about it at that point.
I don't drool if I sleep by myself, but I drool when someone sleeps next to me. It's weird... and gross.
I also alphabetize my game collection from A-Z, from small cases to big cases.

I'm extremely shy. Besides family, there are literally a few people I talk to on a regular basis outside of this forum. The only time I speak at work is when I need to ask or answer a question. I also love chocolate milk.  |

Or drum my fingers or steeple and unsteeple my hands slowly. I do this too. Almost always. It's probably some kind of mild mental disorder. I also like to play with fire. Fire is always entertaining. |

Heh. I have to toss and turn like crazy, moving my arms to different angles and my legs to different angles. That reminded me of my tendency to sleep walk, and talk, and er... write.  That is, after I have fallen asleep facing the right side!  I also seem to suffer from the 'must keep hands busy'. If I'm not doing something, I always end up doodling on something or eating my fingernails, or fiddling with things in sight. (Em... bleh...) More weirdness: I can't work without music? I just can't. If it stops, its like my personal batteries have stopped? End work. I've never had any alcoholic drinks ever either actually. Not even by accident. And I HATE fire! Hate it. Am totally scared to death by it. And so can't cook! *shall starve to death if left alone without the magical electric oven* |

I was terrified of fire too, as a kid. But then I learned to play with it, and that made me totally disrespectful of fire. |

I program in my sleep; that is, I dream about variables and functions, and how they apply to physics. I have already developed an engine based off of this dream code, so I know it's legit! It's 10x better than some of the code I do when I'm awake. Heh, I'd have gotten in trouble at Domino's if anyone realized their day shift mgr. brought out some serious tunes. It helped though, kept me on my toes for the daily prep work. Actually, I used to have this phobia... but I broke so far beyond it. Let's just say me and fire go hand in hand now, and if I burn myself doing something, I just shrug it off. I got so pissed off at Domino's once, I grabbed one of the metal pizza frames fresh from the oven with my bare hands and threw it. I don't remember what got me so infuriated, but my hands had month long blisters. |

I really hate burning my hands on the oven, it's become my bane whilst cooking. But I also hates the pain =[
Also, I find that if I have a drink, I won't stop hammering away at it every ten to thirty seconds unless I get very distracted by something.
Hey, Maggot. Been meaning to ask you a question, do you know Python? I have a friend whose been struggling to learn it on his own as his first programming language, and he's been having problems.

Unfortunately, I'm unfamiliar with Python. However, I don't doubt I'll be able to pick it up quickly. As long as it has strings, variables, if, and, or, ! || && += + == <= >= draw, x, y, timer, statements, I'll likely understand it with little study. I enjoy scripts and if you couldn't tell, alot of that so-called "experience" comes from intense NPC scripting for an old Zelda clone, "Graal". As such, I was able to write various scripts to change the way the game was played. This includes a (somewhat crude) platformer engine. (If I went back and did it again, I'd apply my new-found physics script to the engine.)
I used to be into BASIC but that process and territory is so old, one look at it would make babies cry. As such I haven't really applied myself to real languages for a long time. (Which begs the question, what do I use for "scripting", "programming", and all that good stuff?)
I shamelessly use cheap point-click tools, which oftentimes cut a lot of corners. With a lot of TLC and experience, however, your abilities with these tools become refined and your potential increases almost limitlessly. People develop various plug-ins for these tools every day, but I just work with what I have and instead of cutting the sharpest corners, I refuse to accept their pre-built game engines. (They're oftentimes crappy, heavily flawed engines. It's MUCH better to build your own.)
Currently, I work with MultiMedia Fusion. I've been working with relative tools since I was 13 years of age. I don't pump out demos or betas, so my awesome potential usually goes without notice. I'm waiting until I pump out the best prior to showing off. As I've made apparent in recent days, that day will come soon. My engines have shaped out to works of beauty. The only proof I will provide at this point will be my word. Anyone who is currently involved however, will be permitted to see said potential in the later stages of development. Remember, just because the development kits are cheap, doesn't mean the end product will be cheap. I may perhaps even post videos in the future.

You've spotted it I'm sure.
That is, after I have fallen asleep facing the right side!
