La la la, going to be a late night...

Random question: What silly, pretentious little mannerisms have you consciously adopted and had stick?

I like to decisively drop/throw down objects when I'm done using them. Never in a context to do damage to them or anything else, though. I picked it up from the way Dan Aykroyd throws down his empty pistols at the beginning of Grosse Point Blank. There is just something about the economy of movement (and therefore purpose) that I love, instantly switching from one perfectly planned task to the next. That is how my idealized self-image always acts.

I've picked up lots over the years and lost lots with every major move I do, but when I was young I picked up saying 'mon ami' in my casual speech from Gambit. I liked comic books a lot. This directly translated to 'my friend' after my small obsession with the show Invisible Man, and since has changed back to French, but it doesn't happen too often anymore. Then again, my verbal speech is extremely different than my written speech, eh.

Other than that, I chew on penlids when I'm typing (or more lately, honey sticks) and I know I picked that up from a roommate, but I can't remember which one. Not sure, but because of it, everyone keeps asking me if I used to be a smoker. o.O
