And it continues...
Argh I know, but I never intended on remembering it beyond the exam room!

how does that compare to thine own? or do *gasp* you have none
One of Dickens' characters in Great Expectations is always washing her hands. But in her case it's not just nerves but feelings of guilt that cause it.

I don't really have a 'habit' other than maybe biting my lower lip. Hmm.. I suppose I could chew my nails or somesuch.

My younger brother used to do that at night time, but we stopped it by putting this foul smelling cream on his nails

When I'm nervous, I will always think of ways how to escape the current situation.

well it's not due to a problem of giut, it is an obsessive compulsive disorder, i had a principal at a school who washed his hands once every 10 minutes to ensure complete safety on a good day he'd wash every 5 minuets

OH and yes I have a resized version of your sig

PS: The Samurai Pizza Cat's Sure did Rule Didn't they? I still don't get why they didn't call them the Samurai Robot Pizza Chef Cats... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

er... you *sure* you wanna know this? "oh well fine"; glance around the room constenly, checking for hidden cammas (with my eyes) and look for possible exits, check I have all my 'things', like my wallet... 'seek the void' (lol, if only...only WoT reads will understand) and I seem to get a slight twitch in my left leg sometimes... depending on WHERE I am, I also look for possible places of where I could be ambused. paranoia huh? well, I dont like 'large' cities at night. lol, makes me wish I was armed like my elven ranger from BG seris... now theres a thought... lol. "Hide in the shadows" hehehe. but most of the time, Im not nervous.

used to be that, if I was sitting down and got nervous, one of my legs would start shaking. Currently all I might get is a hand shaking

Whenever I'm nervous, I tuck my hair back behind my ear - I wear it long and in a ponytail, so occasionally some strands come out and I need to push it back anyway. But when I'm nervous, I'll tuck it back even if I don't need to, and do this every few minutes. Thankfully, no one's noticed this habit of mine yet, because it's pretty obvious and I can't help it.
A very, very, very strange thing I do - or that happens to me - is that sometimes when I do something I think I shouldn't be doing, or don't do something I should be doing, the tips of my ears start tingling. Seriously, it feels as if they're trying to grow points. A quite unpleasant sensation, luckily it only lasts a few seconds.
