I have a bad habit of constantly jiggling my leg, tapping my foot or fingers, playing with a paperclip or anything else I can find. Some people just cannot be around me because I feel compelled to do these things.
And I'm a big blurter too...

Me too, especially with the leg thing. I used to get in trouble for it at school

In this day and age...hard telling if someone is "normal" b/c it's so hard to define anymore.

True, but it's easy to recognize "not normal". In my opinion, if you have to take meds to appear normal, you're too high-maintenance for me.

Of course, there are exceptions to this (anti-depressants for PPD, for instance). But, since I'm married and female, (and straight), I don't have to worry about dating someone with PPD.
