- plugging USB devices into USB ports...feels cool for some reason.
- quoting lines from Predator extremely loudly when playing Left 4 Dead on xboxLIVE.
- come to think of it, quoting lines from Predator (1 and 2), Commando, and anything else to do with Arnie, Gary Busey or Danny Glover in reference to everyday situations.
- owning cigarette lighters purely because of a fascination with fire, as I don't smoke.
- buying a shitload of different pens at the start of every university semester, yet only using a few select favourite ones for said semester, and after a few years owning a pencil case full of totally awesome barely used pens.
- writing a full page of ntoes on a nice piece of white paper, with a sweet roller ball pen, in a font that may not be extremely neat, but definitely looks cool. I have a weird sort of fetish with pens and writing notes...
- brushing my hair after a shower and collecting bits of hair in my brush, and waiting a few weeks for said hair to build up so I can pull it all of the brush in one big clump and tie it in a knot.
- having 'raw sugar' instead of 'white sugar' with any takeaway coffee I buy, and ripping off only the very tip of the sugar paper ag thing (long ones), pouring the sugar out, placing the ripped off bit inside the left-over packet, and twisting the top shut.
- watching gearwire reviews by 'Mr Postage paid' on youtube over and over again, because the way he talks about the manuals and stuff relaxes me for some strange reason, and almost gives me goosebumps, in a similar way to maybe James Earl Jones.
- always asking my friend whenever Michael Ironside is mentioned..."is he the 'poor mans' Jack Nicholson?"
- going to www.spankwire.com every night and being excited to see what new videos have been uploaded for me to enjoy before I go to sleep.
- having an abnormal obsession with predatory animals...in particular snakes, birds of prey and big cats.
- watching videos of said animals kill their prey on youtube.
- using phrases like "you eat bags full of dicks regularly" as a greeting towards one of my younger brothers so often that we just laugh and it has become everyday speech.
- saying to myself "I should really change the strings on my bass" every time I play it, knowing full well I will not do it.
- listening to a local heavy metal radio show hoping they will play us, but mostly laughing about all the terrible stuff they play.
- loving the way it feels to press my laptop screen fully shut and feel that little 'click'.
- loving how the gearstick in my Dad's car feels when I change the gears, and also taking a huge amount of pride in being able to drive a manual transmission car very well.
- the incredible guitar work of Todd Rundgren in Meatloaf's hit 'Bat Out of Hell'.
- watching the first few weeks of each new Australian Idol series to laugh at all the people who are shit, and then not watching the show anymore when it gets down to only people who are good singers.
- telling my Mum her car is a piece of crap and mine could smash hers in a drag race every time something is brought up in discussion about her car.
- wearing skate shoes for comfort reasons, because I have no interest in skateboarding.
There are some good ones in there!
