1. A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
2. A physiological or temperamental peculiarity.
3. An unusual individual reaction to food or a drug.
List five of your own idiosyncrasies and then tag five friends to do the same.
1) I am a cat. Fe-line. In that I cannot stand being dirty, dusty, muddy, wet... Beaches are not my friends. SANDY WATER. IN MY HAIR. JUST NO. Watching mud wrestling makes me want to run away and sit on a dry clean bed. I hate hate hate being caught in the rain. I have to leave my hands under the hot air thingum in public toilets until they are absolutely dry. People who think running up to me and hugging me when they're all wet from swimming or something is funny? IT'S NOT. NO. IT'S HORRIBLE.
2) In a vaguely related note, my personal space is very important. Hugs are...all right. Sometimes. It gets worse when I'm stressed or upset; bad emotional places or very crowded social situation make my personal space radius expand. I have been known to spend long periods of my own parties sitting in the bathroom or in my room, door closed, de-crowding my head.
3) I will not eat something if I know it contains certain foods. I'm better now with nuts than I was, but when I was younger I would systematically demolish brownies and pieces of carrot cake until I was sure there wasn't a single trace of nut left. I still do that with fruitcake and orange peel. And pizzas and anchovies. And salads and capers.
4) When I was fifteen I was stung by a bluebottle (jellyfish) and it triggered something called chronic urticaria - I spent a summer waking up with pink itchy horrible welts. It developed into contact dermatitis, which means that when I forget to take my pills any sort of contact or prolonged heat brings up a rash. I spend boring lectures drawing on my arms with my fingernails, drawing them across in patterns that take a minute or so to show up. Like invisible ink! Kind of.
5) I steal people's food. All the time. If I'm eating with someone then I will sip their drink, steal their chips, take a forkful of their rice, etc. Usually it's automatic, but I'm getting better about asking. I have very tolerant friends :D

Like... with explosives? Or a wrecking ball?

I was a really annoying person to have at a party, if nuts were involved. Crumbs everywhere.
