Subconscious Computer Habits

[Fishblade_Bluestream]

I usually suck or chew on something...As of now, it's tape. XD And sometimes, when I'm waiting for a particularly slow site to load, I open another window, only to see that the page has finished loading. XD

I bite my nails or finger while waiting everything to load

I also play with my cat's paws.. it annoys him though

You just have to tell him they're so squishy and weird it's impossible to resist them!

Umm... I have the curse of having two windows open most of the time, too. And you guessed it, one for PPT and one for Neopets.

I also type in http://www.neopets.com/forum all the time... a mix between Neopets and PPT Forums. I don't know why, I just do, and then I yell at myself for doing it. Meh.

If I have any others, I either don't notice them or can't remember them right now.

I have a habit of highlighting text as I read it (I did it numerous times while reading through this topic), it usually drives whoever is watching me on the computer mad. I sometimes chew on my bottom lip as well. Oh and I'll start moving the scroll button on my mouse before pages even load.

I always listen to music, i have a notebook beside me and a pen so when i am waiting for something to load i can draw and I always open my safari if i am waiting very long for a page to load...(so i can go on another site while i am waiting for internet explorer to load but i have broadband so it doen't always take that long)

[Shoelace]

I tend to chew on my duck pen, wiggle my toes or just spin around really really fast on my chair when waiting for things to load.

Sometimes when I am really concentrated I listen to a CD and sometimes I think It's still to first song even if the Cd's finish!

[drummer.a.h]

I do the highlighting thing too! People always think I'm soo strange, but it helps me concentrate on what I'm reading, and it's just a horrible habit, I suppose. There are worse things, I suppose.

But, it's good to know there are other weirdos out there like me!

[_jaye_]

Hm...let's see

1) bite my nails
2) stare at the screen
3) grabs guitar when chatting to someone on msn
4) constantly opening msn window
5) sing/dance when song I like is playing
6) put legs in strange positions...such as cross legging on my chair and so my legs aren't on the ground
7) open photoshop even though I don't need it
When something is difficult to read I press ctrl-A to highlight everything to read

I wish I had a kitty

Subconscious computer habits? Yeah, I have one major one... everytime while I am using the computer, I am also subconsciously... *gasp* breathing! I don't even know that I am breathing and it just comes naturally!

well... i don't think about breating... you aren't supposed to imagine when you're asleep

i have a habit of playing with a box that lies here that says "finding nemo The Game" (it's not the real game, it's just a free game i got with my newspaper)

unless i'm typing i always have to do something... ooh!! switching on and off the lights i also do a lot

[DM was on fire!]

- when I'm on this computer, I have my foot on the popcorn tin and when I'm on my normal computer, I have my foot on either the subwoofer of my speaker system or the bottom bar on the back of my desk
- I NEVER have silence when I'm on the computer, not even when I do schoolwork. When I do schoolwork, I have my media player on, and when I'm doing graphics, I'll have TV on
- sometimes I drum my fingers on the mouse
- I always have a bunch of windows open, except for when I'm on this computer, which I have 1 browser window, 2 or 3 tabs, and sometimes music.
- I stare blankly at the screen, especially I do my schoolwork (I really gotta stop that.)
- I'm constantly copying stuff.
- I always have my schoolwork client open, just for the journal. I spend more time in my journal then on my schoolwork (half of it is because I spent like 5 or 6 hours in it on Tuesdays and 3-4 hours on Mondays)
- I constantly clear out the My Documents shortcut in the bar, so it'll be nice and empty.

Tapping the table with my fingers, or playing with my glass that is always ALWAYS to the left of me.

I'm constantly opening the top drawer of this old desk and rummaging through it while I'm talking to people on msn. I barely even realise it anymore, but I have found some interesting things. I don't know what the heck they are though.

I play Freecell when I wait for a page to load.

I crack my knuckles if my hands get worn out from typing or whatever...
