Silly things you think only you do

I adjust everything I need to use before I get onto the computer neatly and perfectly. *like making sure the keyboard is in the right place, or turning the screen so its just right*

I absolutely will not fall asleep unless my fan is on. Its too quiet (rather, too loud!), otherwise it drives me insane! :crazy:

*Plus its soothing to close my eyes and listen to lol*
 
I can only take a nap at night even if I want during the day,
'cause I think I waste my time sleeping during the day.
I also clean my laptop before using it almost always.

I really, really hate liquid hand soap. I don't have a problem with bar soap in the least, but liquid soap, particularly foaming, absolutely gives me the willies.
 
I'm quite a normal person.. Until you stick me in front of a computer.. and I talk to myself without knowing.. It's odd :grin:

Since music theory, whenever I hear a melody in my head without lyrics I sing it in solfège (do re mi)
this is what one year of sight-singing does to you :|

i sort of do the same but with sonorities. whenever i hear music i HAVE to figure out the sonority, it drives me nuts
 
I have a complete absolute inability to blow up balloons. No air enters the balloon. It does not stretch. It just sits there looking at me like "hi I'm a balloon and you suck at blowing".

I tend to wake up better in the morning the later I go to bed at night. I go to bed at 11:00, good luck getting me up at 7:00 the next morning.

of course I feel awful the next day but w/e I've got to wake up for school.

this is a completely normal phenomenon. your body goes through sleep cycles every few hours. (everyones' sleep cycle rhythms are different).

if you try to wake up in the middle of your 3rd or 4th wave of REM sleep, it will be remarkably harder to become alert, than if you woke during your 1st or 2nd wave.

the longer you sleep & the more cycles you pass through have an effect on how long the "restful" phases are (3rd/4th waves). if you sleep 11 hours, you'll be experiencing longer REM cycles towards the end than if you only rest for, say, 5 hours.

it's not that you're more rested if you wake up after 5hrs of sleep, you just are less likely to be caught during a REM state, and thus will feel less "groggy".
 
(also i have a hard time blowing up balloons too (but i have asthma :x))

just get a novelty $1 balloon pump hon, they're just so damn simple

Thats not "that" hard actually.. I also go to bed somewhere between 23.00- 23.45 BUT I need to get up at 04.30 everyday, I am so glad I finally have a room in Antwerpen next year! I couldnt keep it up for another year.
School is tough x)

Also it my silly thing, travelling 3 hours and half to school (with busses, train and subway) for 4 hour class and then another 3 hours and half back! EVERY DAY (youll really enjoy weekends from that moment on)..

So umm... why do you have to travel THAT much to get to school? o.O Do you live like 100 miles away or something o.O
About 80 km I think, but connection between busses and train REALLY suck, not to mention I need to do about 20minutes a foot (busses dont drive at 05.00) :/
You cant imagine my joy now that I dont need to do that anymore.

Sadly what I do can only be done in Antwerpen (= crossing half the country) or near the coast (= crossing whole the country). Unless I go follow it in the netherland (which Im not doing knowing that diploma is seen as "less good) Antwerpen is closest to home. :(

I recently discovered I have a limited ability to write and do schoolwork while asleep. I slept through the majority of history one day and found after waking up I had taken a decent portion of notes I was supposed to. Today I did the same thing in chemistry, except I was doing review work instead, and I had answered several of the questions.

I do weird things in my sleep, I guess. In sixth grade I barked at a girl in the middle of our SATs without waking up.
