1. My taste in music? Or some might say the lack of it. These are two albums I just bought. I listen to almost anything with the exception of rap.2. When I was a child, I used to visualise elephants stomping whole bunch of upright toothpicks.
3. When I read a book, mainly fiction, I see the action happening in my head. That's why I read slower than most people.
4. I buy books faster than I read them. I lived in Manchester for about four years. During that time, I loved to visit the book stores. Invariably, I would leave with some purchase or other. When I was packing at the end of stay, I discovered that I had about 250 books that I hadn't read. If I read a book a week, which I don't, it would take me five years to finish them. I am still buying books now.
5. Same with CDs. There are still some I have not listened to. Few CDs, I have duplicates. I forgot that I already had them.
6. Same with DVDs.
7. I love top lists. Be they top 10, top 100, whatever. And I love to scan reviews for recommendations of what books/CDs/DVDs I should be getting.
8. I believe that one shouldn't sleep too much i.e. should spend more of our lives awake than asleep. Burn your candle at both ends. Maybe you burn for a shorter time, but you were so much brighter. I say believe, because it's hard to practise.
9. I believe that if you binge, your body is not able to process all the rubbish you put into it. As such, most of it will just go right through you i.e. you will not put on weight if you binge occasionally, like every other day.
10. I am a walking encyclopedia of useless information. Someone once called me that. I don't have an opinion on everything but I do know a lot, by that I mean quantity and not quality, about a lot of things. Must be because I watch so much TV.
OK Jonzz, it's done. Don't think they really qualify as weird. Most are not even particularly peculiar to me. But they are quirks about me. Kinda.

Thanks for that interesting bit of sharing. Elephants stomping on toothpicks, eh. LOL, interesting, you're most probably the visual type.
Well, at least we know a little bit more about you. That's what tags should be for.
Weirdness is subjective. People may think you're weird but you don't think so and vice versa, so no need to crack your head over it, ha ha ha.
I love walking encyclopaedias!
I'm so ashamed of myself in front of all these great book devourers!
I actually missed one more. I love melancholy. Dark skies, wet days... Best feeling I enjoyed was cycling out to a lake in Zurich in winter... Just a lonely pier. Drop the bicycle and just read, listen to music, whatever. It was so sad but beautiful.
LM: No need to be ashamed in front of this encyclopedia. It's of useless information garnered more from devouring TV prog rather than books. LOL
Melancholy and Mysterious :)
I'd like to believe no. 9 too..
