Tobias (www.css-petals.net) send me a (kind-of) chainmail with the request to list 5 weird habits. I’m not sure which of my habits are the weirdest, but I’ll try…
1. I cannot sit still. Some part of my body is always moving, mostly in the rhythm of music that I’m either listening to or is just in my head.
2. I play “air-drums”. That means that I play imaginery drums with imaginary sticks. Very embarassing when somebody observes me doing it.
3. When I am on the road, i.e. walking outside I’m constantly singing or whistling.
4. I very often grab my balls. Mostly just a quick check through the trouser pocket. I don’t know why.
5. I tell things about myself that nobody actually wants to know or asked about. (see above; #4)
Now it is my turn to designate 5 people who then in turn have to share their 5 weird habits. Alright… Erik, Laurence, Scholli, Jens & Niklas will have to list their 5 weird habits. Those who have a blog can do it there (or not) and those who have not can just use the comment-option in this blog. Thereby they can acquire the right to pick five other people to do the “5 weird habits”.
I won’t be upset if somebody doesn’t do it.
But now I’ll have to see that I do more preparation for the evil Electrical Engineering (electrical and magnetic fields theory) exam!
Cheerio!
I’m very much looking forward to my trip to Cork, Ireland, starting on Wednesday, 14th!!
Glad that you’ve made it – despite all the eager learning. I envy you for your constant trips around Europe… Need to get outta here again myself!
Or did they already see you with your bass-guitar(s) ’round your neck? 
I could give you a pair of real drumsticks so that your neighbours take you for a real drummer – after all: Everybody wants to be the drummer!

There’s a weird habit I forgot: sometimes I can be seen on the street moving my left and right hand as I move them when actually playing bass.
And my neighbours must in the meantime be thinking that I’m completely nuts.

Hmm, this required some thinking, but I’ve come up with these:
1. When socks have a motif on, I have to find the matching pairs so that the motifs are always facing outwards.
2. I always have to set the volume level on stereos, the television, etc. to a multiple of two or five – so 15, 16 and 18 are OK, but 17 isn’t.
3. When I get home from work, I always empty my pockets of keys, my wallet, etc. before I eat dinner. It feels strange if I don’t.
4. I dip biscuits in whatever I happen to be drinking at the time, even if it’s not the traditional biscuit-dipping drink of tea. I draw the line at beer though.
5. I Google pretty much everything. That’s why I know that this five habits thing is on more blogs that I’ve had hot dinners.

Well well…
1. When I´m thinking about certain problems that have to be solved in very short time, i always rub my nose like “Wickie” the swedish guys might know the children´s books: “Vicke Viking”.
2. When I´m drunk I always go through the same stages: euphoric, philosophise, going mad (by that time i prefer shouting “I want to f…”) and only a few seconds later ending up depressed (because i didn´t get what i wanted).
There´s only one way to avoid this: I have to be fast enough: Then it´s more like, euphoric followed by coma.
3. I always forget to shut the door completely when watching pornography ( poor female flatmates…)
4. When my alarm bell rings in the morning i have to stay at least 45 minutes in bed before getting up for work. (thats why the bell rings at 5 in the morning…)
5. I´m talking to myself when I go shopping. Last week people even stared at me because i said to myself that i couldn´t understand why anyone should clean up his ass with four-ply toilet paper. (I don´t want to say the exact words i used…)
Oh I got six:
6. I always check my nose because I fear there could be a big fat bogy(correct word?) there right in my face…
