Nail polish, rotting vegetables and bullets

Everyone has quirks, otherwise life would be boring. But there's a point when someone has so many quirks that it stops making life interesting and starts making it a bit strange. Or completely and utterly insane.
I passed that point many years ago. So let's review some of my quirks.
  • I have many collections, mostly of things that I have very little interest in. These include: Stones, miniature clogs, china birds, stamps, china skulls, bells, items about ancient Egypt and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember right now.
  • At home I wear blue crocs, a tie, a denim jacket on top of a leather waistcoat and no shirt.
  • I sometimes eat up to 10 large raw carrots in a row, often causing my gums to be in considerable pain.
  • I have part of one of my trouser legs pinned up on my wall at school.
  • I can often remember parts of films or TV shows that I haven't seen for years word for word. In the past when I've been bored I have watched the whole first episode of Futurama in my head.
  • I have my nails painted each Friday.
  • I sometimes space out to the point of hallucinations while listening to Pink Floyd.
  • I want to be shot before I die (preferably not directly before).
  • I keep rotting vegetables in my bedroom. I have a carrot in a jar that's been there for about 2 or 3 years. My current project is a munchkin (a mini pumpkin). It's starting to smell pretty bad. Also, I've named some of them.
  • I fancy Johnny Depp. Then again, who doesn't?
That took me five minutes. Given longer I'm sure I could think of many more. At this point I think they're less quirks and more severe personality disorders.
