This one started last summer, but I have to drink my beverages with a straw. And I mean any beverage. That includes coffee and hot chocolate.

I have never tried drinking coffee with a straw...

Using a straw for drinking everything doesn't sound *too* weird... Now, if you saw me at a pub, drinking a beer through a straw while wearing my fursuit, D'you think that might be weirder?

Is it toxic to foxes too?

Isn't orange soda the equivalent of alcohol to dogs?

Posted: **Sun Jan 25, 2015 12:23 am**

Alcohol is toxic to anyone who drinks it.

I wouldn't call that weird. I'd pay to see that and if I had a suit I'd put it on and drink along with you!

How does that taste, Serg?

The type of soda determines the prominent taste (my choice of soda being a mix of Orange soda, Mello Yellow, and Coca-Cola), but it gives it a spiced feel with a salty (good salty) tang.

Posted: **Sun Jan 25, 2015 2:54 pm**

I don't think I would be able to do that. If anything goes into my soda, I only taste that instead of the soda itself.

Posted: **Sun Jan 25, 2015 3:59 pm**

One thing I HAVE to do when I go to a place with a soda fountain is mix the drinks. I have never went to a place which allows you to fill your own drinks and not mixed them. I think it is usually Coke/Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, and Root Beer, as well as the other stuff they have there. I can not just simply have one drink in my cup.

Whenever we fill up the gas, I savor the smell of the gasoline fumes.

Why does it smell so good!?

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2015 3:59 pm**

Good yes, but also deadly. You take one sniff and your brain becomes rapidly starved of oxygen which which causes an electrical problem in the heart that makes it go into a fatal arrhythmia. This is called "Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome" (SSDF) but it only happens when you huff inhalants.

It's muffins and cookies near impossible to sleep without a blanket even if I'm going to overheat. Maybe if I'm dead tired, but blankets help so much.

same here. It's just the weight of the blanket on top of me, makes it easier to sleep. It's why I prefer to have my room cold

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:01 pm**

....I'll swear up and down I'm not dyslexic. But I think I missed typing 'muffins and cookies' or I'm a mod's plaything.
I think I do that too though, I write something down, and when I look over it again I find something there, or something missing that doesn't coincide with what I planned in my head. I'd miss it if I didn't go back. Which is very annoying.

I don't need to keep my room cold either, the poor insulation in my door does that quite effectively already. XP

Posted: **Tue Jan 27, 2015 10:46 pm**

Oh good. I'm not the only one.

I have to have it cold in my room, via a fan or an open window fore me to sleep. Or else I tend to sweat majorly with a blanket on me.

That's the forum's filter. If you type a bad word we don't want you to use, it replaces it with a funny phrase. It's automatic. Here are a few of them:

bubblegum
muffins and cookies
Bicycle Repair Man
I'm a loaf of bread with no raisins
an incredibly interesting anecdote

So it's not one of us messing with you. We just decided to have a little fun when telling the filter what to replace bad words with.

....OOPS
I guess I'm not used to this forum yet. I'm sure I'll get it in time. Thanks a lot for the clarification.

On the profanity filter note, you're welcome to swear up a storm - we have the filter for a reason - but please don't self-censor unless you replace every letter of a word with an asterisk or otherwise completely obscure what word you're using.

Posted: **Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:07 pm**

How many words are filtered just out of curiosity?

Posted: **Wed Jan 28, 2015 8:10 pm**

quite a few, the mods had fun trying to find words and phrases that weren't caught. you know, for science :3

now back on topic.
I tend to leave my phone on silent at all times. I need to stop that, I miss too many calls that way.

Posted: **Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:26 pm**

I have to have my phone on all three settings: Ringtone (Gray Revolution) Vibrate and Flash the Caller ID when its closed.

I have a habit of always saying sorry when people are mad at me or annoyed by me or anything negative by me. They get real annoyed when I say sorry at least 5 times within a minute.

People find me weird when I tell them I like the smell of exhaust when at outdoor events, especially the stuff from older cars and machines. It might not help that a lot of the time I forget to tell them I don't seek out to smell it, I just smell it because I am around it.

Everything you just said is also me to a T (except for outdoor events).

Excessive apologizing can be a sign of a self-esteem problem.

Not for me, I just have a habit of being extremely friendly when people are bothered with me. I don't like to make people mad at me, but I seem to do that a lot.

I am just the type of person who may act too friendly sometimes, I don't like it when people are mad at me and I try to fix it. Unless they are right up insulting me, then I don't try to fix it that much.

I have to sort any money I get in order from the largest to smallest which includes grouping $5s, $10s, $20s, $1s and coins in a group.

Posted: **Wed Feb 11, 2015 11:29 pm**

One thing I have to do is take the EXACT same route out of a room I took into it. If I went around a poll a few times, I will do it the opposite way. It is like I was unwinding a thing of string on the way in, and I have to wind it back up on the way out. If the way is blocked at the moment, I will sometimes wait a few minutes and then go that way.

Also, when items fall, I need to pick them up in the exact same way they fell, so if they fell between a desk and onto the floor, I shove the object back up from between the desks. I have always been like this.

I do believe these two things happen because when I was 4 or 5, I used to pretend I was always unraveling a thing of string, and I would have to wind it back up the same way or get it tangled. I guess things that happen early in life carry on to later in life.

the building that has my first two classes has a stair case that is set up as two flights on either side up to the landing, then one going up the middle to the next floor.
so I go up the left, then up the right to get to my class on the third floor, down the left and down the right. making a sort of double figure eight every time.

Posted: **Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:17 pm**

Whenever I exit a room in class, I have to follow the exit route in case of a fire alarm (which we don't have many of in college.)

I will endlessly pace circles in excess of six hours if not disturbed.

Posted: **Thu Feb 19, 2015 10:52 pm**

Yes, I tend to pace in circles too, especially when talking on the phone.

Posted: **Thu Feb 19, 2015 11:44 pm**

I can't seem to stay still for long, a thing i do that doesn't bring attention to myself is clench my neck muscle in a sort of shivering to alleviate my urge to do something/anything.

Posted: **Fri Feb 20, 2015 10:26 am**

I believe it should be clarified I pace in circles for hours doing anything or nothing. I just pace.

Posted: **Fri Feb 20, 2015 3:59 pm**

I also pace in circles when I get lost in thought also!

I have a 4 stud Lego that allows the Legos on top of it to spin around. I have had it in pocket of the pants I sleep in for probably 8 months now. I have changed pants many times, but every time I did, I also took the Lego and moved it to the other pants. I have lost it twice, but I found it again. It made me really freaked out when I couldn't find it the first time, the second time I just said that I would eventually find it. I have no idea why I do this, but I do, and I still keep it in my pocket.

I sometimes eat the cupcake paper along with the cupcake (though separately).
