7. List two strange habits that you have.
Any time I am around adhesive papers (like a sticker sheet, or a page of stamps, or a FedEx package), I have to take all the excess off, like the edges of the sheets, and put them on the back of my left hand. Maybe this is only strange because I am occasionally allergic to adhesives.
I like to drink soda from a straw, not sip it. And I like to squeeze the straw shut so it's hard to suck the liquid through.
