My Funny Little Habits

I started noticing I do some interesting things, and have some strange habits. Most of them are pretty much funny.

I act like a dancer:
1. I stretch like I'm dancing.
2. I pose the second I stop moving.
3. My makeup is not to make me look prettier, it's more like a costume.
4. When in doubt; I pointe my toes.
5. I have to think about walking in a straight line, but if I spin around in circles I can travel down it.
6. I am Rice Crispies. Every part of me Snaps, Crackles and Pops.
7. Every time I hear music I either start counting it or seeing dance routines in my head.
8. I cannot focus without music.
9. My pointe shoes are my favorite pair of shoes in the world. They go everywhere I do, and they always have an outfit just for them.
10. Posture is everything. I sit and stand like I'm standing at the barre.
11. The world is just another place for me to dance in.
12. I burst into song and dance with only a moment's notice. And sometimes without...

I think like an artist:
1. My clothes are carefully calculated to give off a certain look. Generally vintage with a punk style edge.
2. I notice subtle nuances not everyone can.
3. The taste of good coffee, tea, spices and food are my favorite things to admire. There's always something new.
4. Music is everywhere around me, even when there's none on.
5. Everything is beautiful to me no matter how strange it may be to others.
6. I'm full of strong opinions about my own visual preferences.
7. I randomly rhyme...

I never slow down:
1. When I'm sitting, I'm stretching.
2. When I'm bored, I'm running or working out.
3. I've always got somewhere to be and someone to see.
4. I live my life like I'm on a stage dancing.
5. When in doubt, I dance it out.
6. Stress equals dance. But also, dance equals stress; which then equals more dance. It's a vicious circle...
7. If I'm still, I'm either sleeping or dead... Some part of me will always be moving.
8. When I try to sit still my muscles twitch until I start moving.
9. I'd try almost anything once. Might as well see what I like and what I don't...

I never shut up:
1. I can talk about anything.
2. I can talk until my face turns blue if it pleases you.
3. If I'm not talking, I'm singing or humming.
4. If I'm not talking, singing or humming, I'm either sleeping or dead...
5. I make random noises if it's too quiet, I do something strange, or I feel awkward.
6. I almost never make the same noise twice.
7. There is always a noise for every occasion.

I love to sleep:
1. There's nothing like a comfy bed for aching muscles.
2. Naps are the best.
3. There's never a wrong time to fall asleep cuddling a dog.
4. I could spend a whole day rolling around in my bed if I didn't have to eat and I didn't get bored with staying laying down all day.

I'm a lover not a fighter:
1. But if I care enough about it, I'll fight for it even if it kills me.
2. I won't hurt you, if you don't hurt me first.
3. I won't hurt a fly... unless it flies in my face. Then, I'll kill it. 

I act like I'm just one of the guys:
1. I burp in front of guys. You can either handle it or you can't...
2. I'm not afraid to make a mess when I eat.
3. I play sports, and I get dirty.
4. I play video games and shoot things.
5. ...until there's a bug... Then I'm a little girl. And I scream like it too...
6. I own almost every wearable item in a camouflage pattern and a hunters orange.
7. I love muscle cars and motorcycles.
