1.  I can get very absorbed in my own thoughts and unfortunately, I sometimes find my inner monologue becoming my outer monologue!  This is very embarrassing when you're walking through Sainsbury's or sitting on a packed train ...
2. If I buy food with cash I simply cannot eat it until I have washed my hands - I have a real ick-complex about handling coins.
3. Dean ends up naked in way too many of my fanfics.  That's a quirk, surely?
4. I am the worlds most useless and incompetent liar.
5. I talk with my hands.  Tie my arms behind my back and you'd render me mute!
6. I'm very tactile, and I 'wuv' hugs!!!
