Sunday Doodles
I figured out long ago that if I keep my hands busy ,I listen better.
I doodle in church
One year I used my doodle to make a Christmas Card
I also take notes backwards or upside down
What weird habits do you have?

I don't have any weird habits I'm aware of but your doodles are excellent!
I play with my earrings when I am thinking, reading or listening...
I don't know if this is weird or not. I try to take notes in church, but sometimes I doodle too, or ink in the o's and circles, or even write the lunch menu (just so I don't forget anything.) You ought to frame that doodle. It's a good one.
I do not have any weird rabbits.
Why not ?
Those are some elaborate doodles!
The doodles of a genius! Nice!
I noticed something I do without thinking about it, although I thought about it recently and still do it anyway... I take a bite of my cereal before I pour the milk in, then I pour the milk and eat the rest!
Those are beautiful doodles -- I never learned to do that, but my boss used to comment on my "Janet-notes" -- just almost verbatim notes (they don't leave much time for doodling!).
You have much neater doodles than I do. More organized... I don't know if I have strange habits but I do carry 2 ink pens at work - always.
@slmret - hehe! Me too. Very detailed but when they talk fast my spelling goes to pot.
Not really a weird habit but I surf the Internet during church.
@murisopsis - It's the only time I can write fast and legibly! But the spelling does get weird, and I sometimes drop the end of a thought when the next thought comes too quickly! Never could do minutes or meeting notes on the computer for some reason!
Finally, an adult who doodles in church and is unashamed of it! I doodle on the back of church bulletins and in the margins of my notebooks during class for the same reason.
I take photos no matter where i go, with my camera or cell phone camera. I even take photos of my drs bathroom and exam room. I save them as memories on thumb drives. Your doodling is beautiful,
I like that first one.
You are an amazing doodler!
Those are cool doodles
The doodles are pretty.
I have my camera with me at all times. My kids think it is strange. I also am a doodler.
i'm glad i noticed the foldmarks. anyhow. you still have amazing connections in your brain to do all this stuff so well (and neat and beautiful).
i often daydream and people watch. not very good for concentration, but keeps me from snoring.
Those are beautiful "doodles." The patterns are extremely attractive and flow wonderfully, and the Christmas card is really nice.
I have a slew of oddness... I'm not sure if I could pick myself apart right now to list them, lol.
@promisesunshine - I need the foldlines to write upside down, I can write straight forever right side up,
@seedsower - well, i didn't notice THOSE fold lines. i meant the diagonal lines in the doodles. my chin was on the floor that you could be so symmetrical. chin still on floor. but i stopped drooling. i'm going to try my hand at doodling today and see what happens. ha.
Beautiful doodles. Weirdness? Me?? I write with both hands and, while being ambidextrous isn't unusual in my family, what is unusual is that I write in Victorian script like my Dad with the right hand and very much like my Mom with my left. Sometimes I will write with both hands at the same time if I'm at the chalkboard. It used to upset teachers a LOT.
I stuff Kleenex in my ears during the singing because they always have the sound set way too high. I often fall asleep during the sermon.
@History_Nut - you may be my twin!
I'm just generally weird....you and History Nut are phenomenally weird
Yesterday at church it was all I could do to keep the grandson from grabbing the ladies ankles in the pew in front of us, he only grabbed one 
wow these are pretty!!! I ddodle a lot too, but mine look crappy. I always draw faces.
Your weird habits are so productive.
The doodles are exquisite, and show a keenly organized mind- but I already knew that from last summer.
@TheTheologiansCafe - God will smite you.
I am often the liturgist during church. I cannot have any weird habits there.
I, too, have come to the conclusion I hear better if my hands are busy. Now I never go to church unless I have either crochet or an origami project to work on.
Scooby Doo? lol
Me? Weird habits? Pshaw and pfft...
I hate sleeping in beds. Couches are better. Pallet in the floor is the best. I think I disturbed my husband one night when he discovered me napping on a pile of laundry in the floor. I was a dog in a past life I guess.
I like my oatmeal uncooked and dry with peanut butter and honey.
I do not think doodling anywhere at any time could possibly be odd at all and I love your doodles. I take a sketch book almost everywhere I go.
Your penmanship is exquisite!
That's the prettiest doodling I've ever seen! One of my weird habits is to not get out of bed till all the numbers on the clock equal 7, my favorite number and one that I think represents God. (You know, forgive your enemy 70 x 7, something like that I think!)
Your intricate doodle designs are lovely....can see them as patterns for embroidery or crewel work or tile designs. Are you a professional artist? You could be. I no doubt have some bad habits but gave up the worst one @ 30 years ago....pack a day smoker. I am habitually late....so easily distracted that I often lose track of time....but am working on improving it.
@Gma_Joyce - I guess I missed the point....no weird habits....just bad ones! But I am particular how my towels and other linens are folded...end up refolding ones my family have folded for me.
these are beautiful doodles! you could do these for meditational illustrations in your book of thoughts. and your upside down/backwards writing is impressive.
I make up strange songs to entertain myself, because I live alone. I think it's funny that I make myself laugh and there's no one around.
