AskMe: How to become an eccentric (or just look like one)

Suggest eccentricities for me to adopt | Ask MetaFilter From a fun AskMe thread:
This reminds me of that stage where teenage girls randomly start to affect a terrible british accent, or when college freshmen suddenly stop wearing shoes and take up raw foods and the shakuhachi. Of course, this is not to say that I haven't had ideas of my own. ’Fess up: what was your goofiest affectation and what made you stop it? Clarification (2006-07-15 10:20:20): The "In my quest..." portion above is a quotation from the link that is referenced; it's not actually me asking for help to (God forbid) become more eccentric. This confused some people, and, well, I regret your confusion if you have any and hope this clarification helps. -- The Management 98 Comments

I started reading the Wall Street Journal during class in about seventh grade (I still read it; it's fantastic). Did the whole 'tiny handwriting' thing: I have terrible handwriting, but if I make it small enough, I can record everything verbatim -- five days of notes for each page of college-rule paper. I use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling on AIM. When I think really hard, I make a 'blowjob face' (several sources independently pointed this out). I still do all of the above. » POSTED IN:
