 what are some little things you like that most people would overlook or may even think you are strange for enjoying?

some for me:
-slowly stepping on a dried leaf and feeling it gradually crunch under my foot
-when i put a cave or something like that in my fish tank and the fish actually swim through it
-sniffing books. i'll flip the pages by my face making a booky smelling breeze under my nose

I like the smell of a new magazine.
The leaf thing is also strangley satisfying.
Something else even more so (this is less likely to happen than most) opening a book for the first time and realising it was a ltd edition. I bought a copy of Lunar Park by Brett Easton Ellis which came in a nice slipcase. It was only when opening it to read it yesterday i realised it was a ltd edition (first print, ltd to 1000 - i got no. 669)

during the winter when ice forms on the ground and melts a little, creating that little pocket between the ground and the ice...i like to crunch those when i step on them. similar to your leaf...

That was the best as a kid, except for every now and than when there really was a puddle underneath and I couldn't tell due to the blacktop and SPLASH cold-wet-foot.
Soggy cereal for me. That's my big weird thing I guess that's kinda little.

here's a creepy one
i like watching people that don't know i am watching them... like voyeurism in a non-sexual way i guess
for instance, i used to have neighbors that would always hang out in their open garage with friends... playing darts and stuff. i could see them through my glass deck door. it was just intriguing to watch them doing boring shit out there
i think it goes back to when i would lie in bed as a kid and watch the distant neighbors' house from my window. their lights would go on and off in different rooms, and it was relaxing to me to watch it

I like the sound of rain and wind against the windows while I'm warm and dry indoors.
I also like to rest my head on my roommate's cat, as if he's a pillow, and listen to him purr. Very soothing.
The smell of pine needles. A freshly sharpened pencil smells kinda nice, too.

If I see a coin on the ground, I'll turn it head side up for the next person.
My girlfriend's ears poking out of her hair makes her look like an elf.

I like sitting in traffic on my way to work. It's especially awesome when I'm listening to a new CD.
Waiting in line for a toy is pretty great too. I've met a lot of cool in toy lines.
Also, being the first person to open a new book and getting to hear that crackling sound.
