Weird things you do/enjoy

[Joseph41]

Last night, I was watching this video:

And like halfway through, thought, "wow, this is actually a really weird use of my time". But that YouTube channel has 52,000+ subscriptions, so I must not be the only one. :o

What are some things you do or enjoy that are a little outside the box?

Aside from smelling books (which is already weird, I know), I love reading all about Melbourne's train network! I don't know why but it's kind of interesting, yet weird enough for me to rabbit off random facts to my parents (and subsequently them telling me to shut up aha :')).

I also love the body cracking videos! I can't pinpoint why but I do, haha!

I also find it enjoyable to watch reactions such as this:

[EEEEEEP]

Watching old episodes of Embarrassing bodies HAHAH.

There are like so many things that I did not know even exist.. or could happen...also I wonder how some people got those injuries

I do magic tricks in front of my dog and love the look of confusion on his face as I make his treats disappear.

Oh yeah, and playing the flute with my nose.

I knew I wasn't the only one...

Oh, I also watched the entire series of Big Brother 2004 and Big Brother 2005 in a strange time of my life late last year/early this year.

Beat that.

I spent an absurd amount of time on an education forum despite the fact that I am not currently studying

Haha same! I go on Youtube looking for Study With Me videos and end up watching the person studying rather than studying myself.

Other weird things I enjoy:
- Cracking/popping my knuckles, toes, spine, any joint I can crack
- Whenever I get my reports back or if the school sends a letter home, I like caressing the paper they use because IT'S SO SOFT AND THE PAPER IS THICC
- When I (or someone else) finish using a page in their exercise book, I like to run my hand through the marks the pen left- you know when you press down on paper when you write there are markings on the other side of the page? Yeah, I love feeling that (idk how else I could explain this lmao)
- Stalking teachers on social media (I had a replacement modern history teacher in Term 1 and his name popped up on my timetable so I googled him and found his LinkedIn and Facebook profile. I also follow my physics teacher on Twitter but he doesn't follow me lol)

I also do this. I honestly can't think of a joint I don't crack haha. People hate it.

Lmao same! Whenever I crack a joint, I get death-glared by people who sit near me and some teachers have told me off for cracking my joints haha

scratching my ears (please don't tell me i'm the only one who does this haha)

- Stalking teachers on social media

I've had a few former students try to add & message me on FB. I want to but obviously my ethical viewpoint is saying no. Jeez I might be in a bit of trouble if a lot of people do this, lol

Like, when they're itchy?

My favourite lecturer from uni recently followed me on Twitter and I felt personally blessed, haha!

I also like putting items on my head (such as my toy monkey, which I bought at the local zoo earlier this year), and trying to contain my excitement about my parents saying yes I can do something(my parents are exceedingly strict on me, ahaha help) by confusing the person I'm meant to confirm plans with!

Like, when they're itchy?

Yeah, only when they're itchy

For some reason I really enjoy reading/watching about Youtubers' scandals- in particular Tana Mongeau's 'Tanacon'. If you watch Shane Dawson's three part documentary about the convention, you realise that there's so much more beneath the surface. There's a lot of conspiracy theories about the convention which I think (personally) is worth the read/watch.
