When I say weird I mean not just weird like reading lots of webcomics, spending huge amounts of time online/playing games or doing lots of D&D/Card Games but the really weird stuff you do. I could see how this could easily turn into flames, so if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
Why I'm weird:
I'm a furry (Guessing that most of you know what that is, but about half the people I say that too have no clue. Explaining gets me lots of strange looks.)
I see stuff in the newspaper about murders and shootings in the newspaper and think, I could have planned that better. (Not that I would but that doesn't stop me from planning it better.)
I have a maniacal laugh, people will stare at me and ask WTF was that when they hear it for the first time. They assure me that it is quite creepy.

I have an oral fixation, particularly to plastics. With the right mood, most nearby objects go in my mouth: the phone cord, the remote, my hairbrush, my book, pens, a 2-litre soda bottle... which I chewed into a star shape over the course of several days. I have also chewed several pencils and pens until they split. I like to bite things. Gnaw on them, really. It usually comes with an impy mood. It also seems to occur after reading a few comics with Sadick in them.

O.o - You and I have something incommon, well I dont chew on things since I think its a little icky if i dont know what it is. but i like biting people *sweatdrop* though i only bite my BF. I have a great obsession with alice cooper, always when i hear him i stand still for a moment then grin and start to sing along. I and also a collecter, I collect things and rarely get rid of it ' i dont collect things like ale cans, but stamps, magic cards, cats, sharp things( swords etc ), and Gourry Gabriev *sweatdrop* what else... well, I spend amounts of time by the computer playing games, majorly MMORPGS

Cannot drink from styrafoam cup for that reason, I cannot every not chew up a styrafoam cup. At the least I have to bite down the puffy part at the top of the cup, often I will chew them into very small pieces.
*Barely resists urge to say something snarky*
Oh, I also have a lot of OCD tendancies. Some examples: I have to have everything in multiples of 5. If I see a number representing something that I can change I will go out of my way to make it a multipile of 5. Otherwise it will really annoy me. Also there is a sink in my dorms that is broken, if the handle is not at a specific angle then it will drip. In the normal off position it runs pretty much continuously, everytime I go past I turn it off, I HAVE to turn it off. Its getting worse, so now I spend a minute or two tweaking the handle to get it to turn completely off, not just a very slow drip but it must be off. If I have stacks of objects it annoys me to have stacks of different height, I get annoyed while playing poker a lot.

Lemme see, lemme see... You remember those councilers in elementary school who told you how to handle stress? And they held up a balloon, and kept blowing it until it popped, and then told you that that represented stress? I'm a balloon. I hold every little bit of stress, try to pack it down tight, and when I'm finally taut and ready to explode, it never fails; my mom gets in a bad mood, I screw up something, and we have a huge fight that usually lasts for a week. Not pretty.

Uggg.....fighting with the mom is never fun.
When I am sitting in a chair I habitualy sit on one leg. Either leg will do but it is usualy the left leg. It's kind of a half sitting crosslegged. Sometimes I even sit crosslegged in a chair. I can't really sit 'normaly' in a chair.
All my joints pop in one way or another. Ankles, knees, hip, elboes, shoulders, wrists, nuckles, jaw, backbone...those are the normal stuff. The freaky stuff is I can crack the joints between the ribs and my sternum and sometimes my collar bone pops. Some of it I control, but most is just me moving around.
One time I was walking accross my university campus and I saw a club putting up a tent with rope. 3/8th in diameter manila rope. I stopped what I was doing and backspliced all their lengths of rope.

OMG WOOOOF! *pounces the other Fur* Uh, I mean I'm weird. Very weird. Let's start with the physical stuff, ja? My fingers are strangely flexible (except for the thumb of my right hand, which I managed to catch in the hinge side of a big-arse door to the middle school when I was little. I blame the Babysitters' Club. It was distracting me.). Like, freakishly so. But I am not double-jointed. My tongue is long. Really long. I can stick it out to like three inches - and that's past my chin. I also have hobbit feet - they're short but wide with hairy toes XD. Now the other stuff. Hm. I'm also a furry/anthro/therianthrope/whatever youse want to call it. I pick up other people's accents. When things come to close to my face I try to bite them out of reflex. Uh... I like herps and plants far more than can be considered healthy, and I can be classified as a friendly social introvert. I have freakish recall for the written word. I know lots of utterly useless trivia about random things. The sense that I would hate to lose the most is my sense of smell (feels really bad for Daggertooth). I make up characters and stories in my head for fun. And I'm almost eighteen and still think cartoons are a higher artform.

You know, when I first saw this thread, I thought "Oh boy, this'll be easy!" But now that I'm sitting here trying to type something out, I've changed my mind. This is pretty tough. I just can't seem to put my weirdness down on paper. Well, one thing I can say is that I find beauty in odd places. I will capture and cherish the oddest things, and make them in my mind to be something most precious.

Wow~! I do that too! @.@
I also have an obsessive habbit of not considering my artwork 'complete'. I can always do 300 more things to it...
Not to mention odd cravings at certain times of the month.... >.< I've cried from lackage of lemonaid before. And I scared my dad so badly with a pringles craving one-time... that he STILL brings me Pringles almost every other week. (I'm really sick of those now)

I tend to insult people with phrases from books I've read...it's really funny because they are often in different languages, so people have no idea what I've just said unless they've read the book...I would also eat noodles every day if I could...I also have the tendency to growl, purr, or meow at odd times...

Ooooooh dear... *Deep breath*
I naturally hold my hands in a clawlike state, crouch instead of sit when I'm drawing, make the facial expressions and poses that I'm drawing- even in class, my fingers are scarily flexible... Not double jointed or anyything, but very close to being so. I pace and mutter incomprehensibly when I get an idea. My left eye twitches on it's own, and both eyes bug out when ever I'm excited about something, or really, really irritated. I allways buy shoes a size too big, so I can wiggle my toes in them, and strech said digits to full length. I also have almost-monkey toes. I can grba things with them, and if I'm carefull, play piano with them. Nothing complexe, mind you, but according to my friends, May had a Little Lamb is pretty advanced as far as toe piano goes. When irritated, suprised, or nervous, I make squeaking noises. I hiss unconsiously. I make grudge-style croaking noises when drawing or painting. I make my own sound effects, and create words on the spot, simply to discribe something like buttering a slice of toast. I once scared the living bajeezus out of my parents by suddenly hissing the word 'FffffffffISH!!' while eating a piece of salmon. Mmmmmm. Salmon.
I have yjis thing where my entire appearance, the way I hold myself, how I talk, EVERYTHING changes, and I become one of my characters. I call it characterisation, my friends call it bipolar disorder, or multiple personallity disorder. Ugh. I have a fixation on colours. My favourite changes every day, and if I see the current colour, I adopt a vacant grin, and stare at it untill I either walk into something, or someone looks at me funny. I'm terrified of being looked at. I automaticaly jump at sudden movements and sounds, which frighten the life out of me. Obsession with how people's minds work. I analyse everything to do with anything, and run it through a mental flowchart. I am a card counter. Bweheh. I never, ever wear matching socks. NEVER. When ever I sdopt my 'psycho' personnality, (the hyper, random, Viktor-esque one) my hair gets more curly, and falls over my face.
Also, never, ever, EVER poke me. I scream and almost fall over every time. I... Don't like being touched. At all.

I'm wierd because I tend to change my personality, it's not like I have a personality disorder or something it's just that I tend to be hyper then suddenly incredibly serious. Or so they say... Or do they... That's deep... real deep.
I also tend to eat strange things, such as insects. Insects taste quite good and are very healthy for you. Eat bugs! I also like Fish eyeballs even iff you're not supposed to eat that part...
Also, if you're about to touch me. I feel this wierd tingle feeling... I'm from North America. I have a bubble. Don't touch me or I WILL get violent.
Ummm... I like to do maniac laughter and play Pirate and/or Ninjas. I think: "Why stop playing that game now? You loved that game when you was a kid! So you should keep on going!"
SHIEK IS A DUDE AND ZELDA'S A CHICK!!! MY LOGIC IS UNDENIABLE!!!

hmm, ok.
This should be a long list. 1. I'm a furry. 2. I can wiggle my ears. 3. I can wiggle my eyes at great speeds. 4. I have a triangle birthmark in my left eye with a smaller circle on to the upperleft. 5. I have thousands of tiny red dots over my arms. 6. I have abnormal skin "Tumors" on my back. 7. I have thousands of tiny scars over my face and arms. 8. I have a large crease on the left side of my skull. 9. Random thoughts of hurting people I see around me. 10. Precognitive dreams. 11. The ability to analyze and take things apart in my mind even if I dont know anything about the device. 12. I can speak and understand languages automaticly without even kowing the language. 13. I have terrible dreams about the detructions of the earth. 14. I see into my past lives and they influence my behavior at times. 15. I have a strange scar over my tail bone. 16. I'm huge compared to the others in my family. 17. I'm abnormally strong and accidently break and destroy things. 18. I can eat nonstop at times and at others not eat for days. 19. I'm a packrat who has more things in my room than the rest of the house. 20. I'm a trekie. 21. I can look at people and guess their physical details under their clothing to a 90% accuracy. (Moles still ilude me.) 22. I growl and speak in a demonic voice at times. 23. I make wierd noises at times. 24. I can flex and crack all my bones at once.
Thats all I can think of for now.

Dagger, what Backsplicing again?
Oh, I have a habit of being uncomfortable by sitting down straight, unless I'm in a suit.
I'm highly methodical and rather than puting stuff like this and other websites that I look at in my start-up group (I use MyIE2) I make it a ritual to open up every website that I always need to see.
Also, I always say that I gotta do something, or that I would like to do something, and even though the effort would be miniscule and short, I put it off or don't do it at all.
Also, I forget stuff.... And I forget stuff, too...

Backsplicing is a method of securing an end of a rope so it does not fray. It can be any type of rope but organic rope works best and it needs to be twisted, not braided. The procedure is simple in that you unfray the rope about three inches, tie it off ina sort of crown, then weave it back against itself.
I have flexible toes too. I can tie several different knots with my toes which include the taught line, bowline, sheet bend, sheepshank, and hangman's noose.
I talk to myself out loud and answer myself. If I ever put myself on auto-pilot while talking to myself I might end up talking for hours.
Auto-pilot is when you go from point A to point B without realizing it because your mind was somewhere else. This is how i tend to drive long distances.

my diet is comprised almost entirely of organic food, and i love it! i'm obsessed with death. 0_o i know that sounds really creepy, but it's true. i'm attracted to graveyards, funerals, and i'm particularly interested in fatal diseases (especially the black plague) ^^; i'm a wolf therian (not to be confused with a furry) all sixty-some-odd of my characters live in my head and talk to me. i'm inclined to answer most of the time. if an awkward silence comes along in a conversation, i start making weird noises or dancing. my voice goes really high and dainty when i talk to teachers. i write with my left hand, and cut with my right (scissors, knife, whatever) i get homesick for places i've never even been. i'm afraid that if i say something mean to an inanimate object, it'll give me bad luck to spite me.

I can't read Face Clocks. I have to sit there for a minute consciously trying to find out where the smaller hand is and where exactly it is pointing. Then I have to look for the long hand and often have to count by fives from the various 15 minute marks. Thats why I own a digital watch....which I can't seem to find...
Apparently I have a slight fear of porcelain dolls when they are obviously staring at me. They just stare and stare at you, and if you look away and look back I can swear they either blinked or moved. They just wont look away, even when you stare back, daring them to blink, they just look back...so lifelike and malevalent.
Then again I also don't like my web cam pointing at me when I'm not using it....

That's my fault ^_~ Fear my avatar~! (I should animate it... just for you ^_~) Of course... the doll is meant to be somewhat creepy. But if it makes you any more comfortable, that particular doll is plastic ^_~
I am entirely left-handed for intricate or delicate things. And my right hand does all of the "Heavy work" . I also have a bit of a thing for creepy-looking dolls. And cuddly plushies o.o...

Hmmm... How to top all this off...
*thinks*
Does anyone else, when they can't think at all and are very stressed, bite their knuckles until it bleeds? When I'm sick, I go through about one large kleenex box a day. When drawing, I always start with the eyes and work my way down, adding hair last. I can cross my eyes, and move them up and down. Like: |_°| |°_| |_å| |å_| |_.| |._| NOOOO!!!! I'M PATHETICALLY NORMAL!!!! *cry* My life is a lie!!!

I go up the stairs on all fours. I think furries are awesome! I secretly want to shave my head.
I too, have remarkably flexible fingers, stop copying me! I sing to myself; in a made up language. I don`t call myself by my real name in private. I vary my vocal patterns constantly, going from loud to quiet and back again! I blanch at the sight of dolls, but will let lethal spiders crawl on me. I go outside, such as, to the park every day. (If you`re a fellow UStasion, tape record your gasps.)

sims2fanatic: Sorry, I can only understand stuff like that when I'm not paying attention. If I actually listen to them I just hear the different language but if I just hear them speaking its automatically translated so I understand.
kioushan: I really love the ability to "see" people like that. And since I can use it at will it's really fun to mess with people by guessing their bra or underware size. The teenage girls seem to love it tho since I actually got some to try a new size that fit them better. It only seems to work in person tho, I need to be able to see them in three dimension to get it accurate.
Remembered a few more.
25. I can control that chilling feeling you get in your spine and use it to drop my body temp. 26. I can sence when the weather is changing and when a storm is on the way. (I guess others can do this too tho.) 27. I can only really feel textures in food I eat and cant taste to many flavors. 29. I can also control almost all of my muscles at will. 30. I can crack my toes really loudly so its heard for a good distance.

Hmmm....I tend to go up stairs in my home on all fours all the time. I never considered that too wierd though.
I also ware biking gloves when hiking in slickrock to prevent my hands from getting torn up to badly. But then I doubt going up and around sandstone cliffs on all fours is that weird either.

I'm weird in the sense that I am a bit of a health nut. I am always worrying about how many oxidants are in what I am eating and almost every morning if I get a chance I drink a health drink that both looks and tastes like pond scum. Even the smell is enough to turn your stomach. Also, when typing on my computer I have a tendency to highlight things if only to give my fingers something to do. I don't really notice I'm doing it until I find out that I accidentaly printed something.
Also, like ryodragon1, I am slightly ambidextorous. Some times I even write with my left hand because its not so difficult for me.
