Paradiddles are by far my favourite rudiment. They're so fun!
One of my (many) weird things is that I drum with my teeth aaallll the time. I don't even notice I'm doing it sometimes. It seems I'm always drumming on something, and I know how annoying it is hearing people drum on their desks, so when I just can't help myself, I drum with my teeth 'cause no one can hear it. I used to keep time with my teeth when I was in band as well. When I was at the dentist a few months ago he asked me if I grind my teeth when I sleep or anything. I told him no, not that I know of, and he said he'd never seen such a strangeway for teeth to be ground down. I realized after I left that it's probably from drumming with my teeth all the time.
I also hate feeling like things are uneven. For example, if I do paradiddles off my right hand, I have to also do them off my left. I can't have only one sleeve rolled up, or one shoe tighter/loser than the other, can't have my nails on one hand longer than the other... stupid stuff like that.
