Got a few odd habits
1) I absolutely hate silence, and will avoid it as much as possible. If I am forced into a situation with silence, I will have some kind of mental feedback loop of music going on in my head, which usually calms me. I have been known to occasionally hum stuff to myself without realising it.

2) Likewise, I cannot actually sleep unless I am listening to pink noise on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and brown noise on the other days. I am actually properly mental over this, and this has caused me to stay awake some nights whenever I've had girlfriends over for the night, because they won't let me listen to it on my iPod.

3) I must have an even number of towels in the bathroom before showering, and an uneven number before leaving it. I don't know where this comes from, as nobody else I have ever spoken to has heard of this before.

Yes, I am actually batshit insane.

Dare I ask what brown noise is?

Brown/Pink noise?
Also what are those...

I'm similiar with my sleeping habits expect I have tinnitus so sleeping in silence is nigh on impossible. Although I am shocked that your girlfriends wouldn't let you listen to your iPod?

Why not dare I ask?

The noises are simple
Pink noise is a slightly "deeper" version of white noise, for use of a better laymans term, and brown noise is an even deeper version of pink noise. Not a noise that causes you to shit yourself, although that'd be pretty fun.

The iPod thing comes about from the fact that every girlfriend I've had sleeping in the same bed as me just assumes I'm going to strangle myself/them with the cables by accident in the night. I've tried explaining it in reasonable terms but to no avail.
