1) I fidget with my index fingers. I like to bend stuff under them, and flick back and forth. Scrap paper. Sheets and pillow cases. Sometimes my ear lobe. I can't explain the process without a demonstration, but it's goofy.

2) I brush my teeth in the shower. I started doing this a few years ago, and I don't know why. I think I do it as an excuse to prolong my time under the water in the morning.

3) I don't like wearing socks. And yet, I'm paranoid about walking around barefoot.

4) I like to read in the bathroom. Sometimes at work, I print out newspaper articles to take into the can with me - and then throw them away. It's peaceful.

5) I'm obsessed with mapping. I used to get lost bicycling around the neighborhood as a kid, just so I could know where all the streets went. I had a wall-sized DC map on my dorm room wall in college. Sometimes, I randomly call up street maps online just for fun. But if called upon, I usually know a street that gets me where I need to get.
