This has been on my mind all day, courtesy of H (the G). It was harder than I thought.
1. My nostrils are different sizes-- one is much narrower than the other.
2. My prom date didn't ask me himself; a mutual friend of ours said, "Did anyone ask you to the prom yet? Scott's not going with anyone either-- do you want to go with him?"
3. If someone happens to say a phrase that is part of a song lyric, I will often start singing the song. I have a student who says, "Ooo-ee" when he's done something difficult, and I can't tell you the number of times I have finished that off with, "Ooo-ee, baby, won't you let me take you on a sea cruise."
4. When I hear someone speaking in an accent, I have an almost irresistible urge to copy it. Ask Em: at the end of the day in Boston I asked her to say something so I could copy her.
5. During the summers when I was a pre-teen, when I was going to take a shower I would walk barefoot in the backyard to get my feet good and dirty so I could watch the rivers of dirt going down the drain.
6. In my teens, my cousin and I used to walk through the mall calling each other by fake names as loudly and as often as possible. (April and Nicole-- I was Nicole).
7. I don't like to wear socks, even with sneakers.
8. I have a compulsion to look things up on the internet. All I need is for someone to casually mention a curiosity ("I wonder what year Paula Abdul was born?") and to be within 50 feet of a computer. In fact, I've just been reading pages that came up when Googling "weird things about me."
9. The only alcohol I like to drink is alcohol that doesn't taste like alcohol.
10. When giving people directions, I almost invariably mix up left and right. So much so, that my husband knows to disregard what I say and look at where I am pointing instead.

Heh heh heh. #5 is something I would definitely have done as a child if I'd thought of it.
I like #5, it immediately struck me as fun, I bet your parents didn't think so though. Hmmm, maybe you should tag Flowyks.
Rian and Mater are kindred souls in Sock Dislike.
...and Mater should try Mike's Hard Lemonade.
On a day when ye are not operating any heavy machinery.
Don't your feet get sweaty and yucky without socks?
Not really; maybe I just don't have them on long enough. I don't wear shoes unless I am out and about. I *do* wear socks when dog-walking, but I don't like to. I've always had socks that don't stay up well, which is part of the reason I wanted to knit socks-- so I could custom-fit them.
Is the tendency to ramble on Weird Thing #11?
