Manias:
I am a tiny bit obsessive-compulsive and must try and finish everything right away at one time, I can not take a long time to do something.
That is why I never can be a good artist, I have some talent but no patience to wait and finish painting/pictures,must do at 1 sitting.

I too have Ebay mania but luckily sell stuff too as not to get too carried away.
That can be bad.

Alternative rock music, only thing I listen to.
Fingernail biting too
I also answer phone after 3rd ring as most solicitors will hang up after a 3rd ring, so good thing to do.
My old Hollywood memorabilia collection,keeps me sane

Fears:
Afraid of heights, I was on Pike's peak(14,000 ft) and panicked as I went to take a picture at top of cliff and looked down, I must have been at a 90% angle (straight line down) as i did not see any ledge below me as I stood on a big rock.
No one else was around and scared I'd fall off, I sat down and climbed up 15 feet to the top again.
I hate spiders, except maybe a daddy long legs as they can't bite.
Haunted houses-I will not go in them.
I went into the Mummy attraction at Universal not knowing it was a haunted house and the guys wearing the mummy outfits from the movie looked so realistic, scared me badly
I also am afraid of deep waters. I will go on boats but will panic swimming in deep water as almost drowned as a child.
I do believe in ghosts and scared to be at home alone at times, either my eyes have played tricks on me or I thought I have seen something/someone a couple of times at my old house.
a couple of times. Not someone scary, but still.
