Got anything weird or special obsession? Like a heroes skill what no one needs or shouldn´t have? I got one. Let me take a few minutes of your time and explain.
When ever I watch TV, I count words from subtitles and try to make 24 out of them. Sounds quite simple and harmless, though weird. I have been doing this as long as I can remember, prolly from like 7-years-old.
Now let me try to explain it, it doesn´t work quite well in english, but I put it on finnish too so you get the idea.
Now lets divide words in to smaller pieces.
Now lets search for "hidden" words. Haven´t done this a lot in english though.
Are you still following me? Good. Now lets use sentences together.
Now few special ones.
You can use any of those, none of those or some of those how ever you want. There is some more tricks, but they are in my head and quite hard to explain.
I hope I ruined your movie-watching experience if you start to think this even 10% as much as I do :)
Got anything like this in your head? Any ideas about this one? Should I really see a shrink?

A homeless man was walking in the forrest, watching the airplane on the sky. 13 words

I could make another journal from cars registerplates, I got a system for them too :)
Only weird thing I did since I was a baby till about 15y was to constantly nod my head against the pillow till I fell asleep >.<
It became worse when I even did it with how u spell it... sorta hard to explain...
it goes : ...arr - ess - tee- you - vee- double you - eks - why - sed
and I say : des - yahw - des - ooy lbud - eev - eet- se - ra-
It sounds a bit random :<
You like palindromes in general? I some times pass time by making those, usually hangovered in car or somewhere where there is nothing else to do. Finnish is such a good language for those.
"Atte kumiorava, varo imuketta!"
"Ella jaha, ala purra jarrupalaa hajalle."
;)
I also swap letters in words sometimes.
l becomes h; n can be m,or u; r can be h or l; b can be p,d, or q; and some other stuff I can't think of atm.
sometimes I think when I just would use the time I spend withthinking about bullshit like this to think about more, well, 'meaningful' things I'd be a bit more delighted :D
Luckily most of my twinks come from my subconscious so I don´t have to think them on my own :P
I'm pretty fussy with pretty much everything, which seems to be an obsession for me.
The problem is that I often kind of lose my concentration because of it.
Just a little example:
Gaming feels awkwar if my mousepad isn't exactly in its hypotethical place.
Sure that's not the most disturbing nor heaviest case!
or, he wasn't able to eat, because he couldn't decide what. when he decided he wanted to eat a banana he wasn't sure how much. so he wanted to exactly eat half the banana. when he found out the only libra he had was broke he had to send away the filmcrew because he wanted to go in his room and wait until he was nearly starving to have a justification for randomly eating what comes to his mind ...
Another example:
I hate when my irc or winamp isn't in the middle of the screen :< It's pretty frustrating sometimes.
I guess I'm a kind of perfectionist... in a sane way.
but anyway in rl im really lazy and careless so thats funny :)
Though I except that he brings some original stuff form Denmark with him.
I was only there for a weekend, for the TKB 10 year party.
But then that means that you are too fond to
I cancelled it though.
By the way, 3 + 4 + 7 x 2 = 21 (or 28) right? :D
Edited. And I am supposed to be good on maths.
You suck nigga -,-
But if it's (3+4+7)*2 --> 14*2 = 28
you have always calculate ( ) first
Then * and /
Then + and -
imo :)
I recall staying up for 7 hours once trying to find the name of this one song which I'd heard many times before but for some reason I couldn't remember what it was called :(
Took me a good 2 weeks. Funny thing is I haven't seen that guy for ages but the voice just randomly blurted up in my memories. :D
Except facebook.
i also do something similar to you but i read a sentence and then find the middle letter (if there isnt a middle letter then i divide the ammount of letter equally on both sides.
i have to have one cigarrete in the morning.
when im ussing the toilet i sometimes flush it before im even finnished =O.
obsessions/habits are weird.
EDIT: i always light a cigarette when im nervous for like, a war or shizzle.
i usually end up only lighting it;p..
When i was a kid and i was in a car, i had to "click" my right foot toes to the ground whenever we were in the center between 2 street lamps on my left or right, and I did it until there were no more lamps on the road. I stopped this when i was 13 or smth.
EDIT: And I don´t need a good idea to make a post, just something different than random pic- or youtube-journals.
That obsession is quite weird though 0.o
I wrote a "Do you want to be a millionarie"-game in Java at the age of 11. Parsing series of questions, all graphical output coded by hand (no widgets used), a seperate thread for changing the background color, even an own thingy for making new series of questions.. Can't find it anymore though :(((
I were writing C programs for generating prime numbers at the age of 15.
Could you call that an obsession, or just overall geekyness?
We need an exorcist here!
I haven't touched java for 8 years, am I healed?
So since we're learning JSP @ uni right now, I keep cursing at those ugly Java-isms that language is infected by :(
