I don't generally like laughing at television or movies in front of people -- I generally hold it in and end up crying from the effort, which tends to make people think I'm nuts. (By "crying," I mean people look and me for no real reason and then do a massive doubletake when they notice I have tears streaming down my face...) I also don't like to sleep without music; currently I have on rotation music from Riven, Zork: Nemesis and Hindi-inspired meditation music that inspired the middle soundtrack. This is probably but one of the reasons why I will always sleep alone...

Do you ever steer the controller when playing racing games? lol

I don't play a whole lot of racing games, but I do tend to follow my movements somewhat in fighting games such as Killer Instinct or if I am playing an action side-scroller such as Super Mario Bros. (which lately I have been addicted towards) or Mega Man X.  But if I was playing Mario Kart or something of that nature, the same would probably apply.

LOL, you would NOT have fun with us, my friend and I get the shit scared out of us and scream like babies until we pop the ear drums of innocent bystanders. I also cry like a baby during remotely sad parts. I'm a sensitive bitch, but that's OK. ;D

I'm sure I could deal though your friends might strangle me before the movie was over with and I'd go home in a complementary body bag.  And I'm an insensitive asshole so I think you have the better deal, but I suppose the grass-is-greener effect applies here as well.

Oh yes. I used to be a huge grammar nazi, the type that corrects notices with a black pen and comments on people's speech, which pissed everyone off at the time.
But now, oddly I have completely ceased to care about any of it, spelling, grammar, pronounciation, the whole lot, to the extent that sometimes I lapse into these things myself and find it highly amusing when someone is annoyed by it.
Which is wrong, I know, but hey....

I never noticed it until a few people pointed it out, but when I'm nervous or uncomfortable I take off my glasses and clean them or take off/put on my jacket. It's weird that I'm so easy to read, and given that I get uncomfortable so often I'm a little saddened by it.

I also make "hmm" and "mmm" noises all the time, and my friends tease me for it. I have like, 6 variations of the noise which all express different things. Man, these things were all done unconsciously up until this year when people starting associating me with them. My girlfriend picked a few of the "mmm"s up and is teased for it.  I'm a hand talker, too.

And uh, what else? It's a little bizarre analyzing yourself... I suppose my two last biggest quirks that people notice fairly quickly after meeting me is that I'm overly apologetic and dislike hugs/intense physical contact with most people. Being touched has always bothered me, and it causes problems when your social circle consists of extremely touchy-feely people.

I remember how my girlfriend used to hug me all the time when she first met me(which I enjoyed for questionable reasons ) and felt terrible and shocked when my friend from high school told her that I hated being touched. Oooh, I was so pissed at that friend... She was trying to protect me, which is sweet, but man, she nearly saved me 7 months of sex! I was not impressed.
