The many ways in which I'm weird:
- I get sleep paralysis sometimes.

- I'm face blind.

- I'm excessively concerned with precision in definitions, and classifications. I'll often argue with people I agree with over some small flaw in terminology or reasoning.
- I am obsessed with learning new skills, and new information - no matter how useless (I read an article the other day about how to make sugar scrub. I have no plans to ever make or use sugar scrub.)
- I feel calm and purposeful in chaotic or high stress situations, and anxious and unmotivated in easy or low stress situations.
- I will rarely finish a book until I have started at least 1 or 2 new books. Sometimes I will stop reading a book when I have just a few pages left to start a new book.
- I often perform at a high level at tasks the first time I do them and get worse with practice. For example, if I draw something multiple times each iteration will be worse than the previous.
- If I get really drunk I will usually clean my apartment, fold clothes, do dishes, etc. before going to bed. I have blacked out before and woken up naked on a bare mattress, and found everything in the drier having been washed, and everything else in the apartment having been cleaned.
- I don't like sweets of any kind, and have only in my entire life eaten anything sweet a handful of times. I tried some ice cream on my birthday last year for the first time in 10 years.
- I grew up in an Italian speaking household and never learned a word of Italian.
- I like the things around me to all be parallel or perpendicular to everything else, and for edges to align.
- I eat as much as 3-5 average people every day.
- If I sleep more than 5 hours I feel sick when I wake up.
