I talk to animals when I encounter them
No, they don't talk back to me.

As in they don't sass or back-talk? No threats or allegations?

I start threads about "Dog towels"

I hand-write notebooks full of quotes, side by side translations of texts, and poetry. Each subject is a separate notebook. When I have filled up a book, I will likely as not, give the notebook away. I have done translations of the Bhagavad Gita and Dhammapada and filled an entire book of American Black poetry.

Currently, I am working on translating 1200 letters Goethe wrote to a woman he knew well and admired;very likely loved. She requested all of her letters returned and destroyed them....perhaps someday I will fictitiously fill in her replies and write (by hand, of course) a novel...

Cold, dead eyes, with a thousand yard stare?
I don't know if it's normal but it looks good on you.

I often take the opportunity of chatting with people on buses and trams. I'm not even sure they want to, so I will bring a book along to keep me busy from now on.

Any odd or peculiar habits you have? Normal tasks you may approach from a different angle of attack?

Whenever I read a magazine I start at the back cover and work my way to the front cover. I don't know when I started this but it remains my habit to this day.

OK fellow oddballs, confess.
i start reading newspapers from back to front but only because the horse racing and football are always at the back.

I sensed (my 7th sense) that you were somewhat odd. Thanks for the confirmation.
