I'm obsessive, and something of a completionist [snip] I've end up with every single title (and occasionally multiple copies of some books) by fave authors
When I finished Brave New World aaaaaaaaaaages ago, I found myself eyeing copies in thrift stores, fighting the urge to buy. I already had one copy, so why the need for another? Oddly, I can't think of another book I've ever felt compelled to buy or own in multiples.
even though I rarely cook anymore, I really enjoy watching many shows on The Food Network
Since monkey!husband does most/all of the cooking now, it's probably been years since I actually put together a proper meal, and now I rarely get the urge. But I own at least fifty cookbooks (I think this might fall under the "compulsive" thing mentioned above!) and for years clipped recipes out of the newspaper. I watch Top Chef and loved watching the Frugal Gourmet before he got busted for general skeeviness.
4. my "Tuesday" verbal tick has mutated in the past couple years to "tomorrow" - again, it's not 100% conscious, but I generally don't say it when folks are within earshot. no clue what started it.

What does your tick entail?
