I use to turn on my PC every time I get home even if sometimes I shut it down after 10 minutes without doing anything...

Another funny thing about not staying "idle":

When I encounter a loading screen, I do NOT just stay there and wait, usually I turn to the mouse and re-arrange it to be right at the center of the pad... The thing is, this is involuntarily, as I actually wouldn't like to do it :P
Either that, or when the HDD is loading I turn around to the PC led that tells that :P

Probably I'm too impatient in nature :D

I do that A LOT!! My brother makes electronic music and regularly invites me to listen to his newest works. And I always hear myself saying: "Wow, this would fit perfectly into *insert movie genre/video game*".
I listen mostly to soundtracks. That's probably the reason. :)

Well to be honest I get the joke but it doesn't fit that well with electronic music (which is mostly ambiental) especially if it's for soundtracks. If it were hard techno or black metal i would have understood...

I mean look at Terminator 1 soundtrack for example.

yes I know I ruined the joke. :P

Okay, whenever I have to do the handshake thing at business meetings, social gatherings, etc. I shake the other person's hand hard enough to make their teeth rattle. This is especially hilarious if you get someone who gives you one of those 'dead fish' handshakes. :rofl: I'm not sure when I started doing this but it does seem like I've been doing it since I was a little kid.

One time, a guy I knew saw me coming & held out his hand to shake … only he locked his arm at the elbow & shoulder, causing my teeth to rattle. :D

The handshake tells much about the respective person. :)

You know that my favorites are orchestral soundtracks, right? :devious: which are mostly done on the computer with orchestral samples

Hehe most orchestral game soundtracks and some low-budget movie soundtracks are indeed made with the computer samples (that is, real acoustic instrument sampled with the computer). Hans Zimmer and Jeremy Soule are examples of such composers :)

I usually associate a color with voices but it isn't necessarily a visual thing.

I sometimes pace at the bus stop but other times I can stand quite still.

I also have the habit to read whenever I am eating.

But you should know that it's not healthy to read or talk when eating ;)
