What "strange" habit do you have?

I also remove earwax a fair bit. From what I can tell, in most cases it is not necessary to remove it from the actual canal. It serves a purpose in cleaning dust and other contaminants out of your ear, and preventing infections.

Given time and the natural progression, it just makes its way out of your canal and ends up in the whorls of your earlobes. Then it's safe to clear away.

But yeah I do dislike the idea of wax in my ears and I will clean them out with a Q Tip (even though you're not supposed to). There's a sense of pride whenever I yank a hunk o' wax out and throw it away.

I have dry earwax, as part of the Asian side of my genes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I always do the girl thing. If it's a public restroom and there are none of those paper thingys then I plaster the seat with toliet paper before I sit, if I sit at all. It's a CYA measure

This is sensible, not strange.

That said, I try to avoid avoid public restrooms altogether, since the floors are likely to be filthy as well.

I do my acting training, which includes:

A.) A bastardized form of yoga

2.) Rolling up and down my spine while sighing, then again on voice, and may include shaking and jumping

III.) Lying on my back in a dark room, sensitizing my senses (listening for all sounds, sending energy through my shakras, touching myself, etc)

d.) Going "primal", which involves behaving like a prehistoric person, with grunts, banging, crawling, etc.

v.) Stretching my tongue, loosening my jaw, doing tongue twisters and breathing exercises.

Finally.) Getting really sad, then angry, then laughing uncontrollably...really, whatever order it comes in, I'm not really in total control of it.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. But is it really "strange" if it all has a purpose?

To quote Sir Laurence Olivier, why don't you just try... acting?

That makes you a freak because nobody else does that.

All that stuff is called "Preparation". And acting is so passe - as my highschool teacher said: "Don't act. Do."

Sir Laurence Olivier was often drunk on stage.

He also came before the techniques that shaped modern American film acting like Meisner and Adler (Strassburg was a loon).

True. I've never like Sir Larry in anything. He seems pompous and stiff, but that's probably the style of the day.
