five quirks meme

keryxI've been thinking for like 2 days about what quirks I have that are vaguely unique, but people keep stealing them.
1. Sorry about the toenails, people, but I bite mine. Feet aren't disgusting and dirty if you wash them regularly. People often don't believe I'm bendy enough to do this, but I am.
2. When I walk out to my car at Wilderness Office Park every afternoon, I always quietly shout "CAR!" in greeting to it, occasionally getting me a stare or five. I also do this sometimes at other places, but I always do it at work.
3. I rearrange and add to my Netflix queue like, every day, up until the moment a new movie's about to get sent - trying to get as close as possible to what I think I may want to watch in 2 days. I usually have 300+ movies that I might some day want to watch but have forgotten on it, so the queue itself is like a mini-adventure in the possibilities of my next entertainment experience.
4. I buy my own sketchpads for work instead of using company-provided notebooks, because I like to write on unlined paper. I buy my own pens instead of using The Man's pens, too - for the same reason.
5. I do not like, nor have I ever liked, sitting normally in chairs. I kneel periodically at my desk at work, I sit on the floor, I curl up in chairs, etc. But I really prefer not to just sit in them. I'm not sure this is a quirk so much as something that marks me as sane in an insane world of docile chair-sitting..
Okay, now tell me yours.
