Sticks varios things in their hair. Maybe they could twirl kitting needles, chop sticks, pencils, forcks, whatever they need later.
Forgets everything
Has the horrible gift of being able to act like they know what they're saying. (I do this a ton. It's how I survive English class. I can never finish the books in time, but I still manage to do a 2-page essay. It's a gift and a curse.)

Does lip-popping noises when they're bored.
Wiggles ears.
Randomly bursts into accents.

I CALL GOOD CELEBRITY IMPRESSIONS!!!! IT'S MINE!!!1Thank you so much for the idea. I'll give that awesomely amazing gift to Helana.
One of my characters always has to be doing something with his hands--he picks at the grass a lot.
Another one eats food one item at a time. As in she would eat her entire serving of potatoes first, and then move on to the next food, etc.

OH! Guess what! I finally found that part of that NCIS episode I wanted to show you! I found it two minutes after I got on the bus. It was obnoxious. I tried so hard this morning and then it took so little effort on my second attempt.
I love you, Mallory/Cassie/Skitts dearest. You can show me tomorrow or something. *winks*
Okay. *giggles*
I was going to say something... *shifty eyes*

That reminds me of Ben! "What's that?"
I feel left out, but I'll laugh anyway.
That's okay, I laugh at other people's insiders jokes too.
Can't walk in a straight line for some reason (Ben Madsen. Hehe.)

Thank you. That is genius. Especially since he actually has fangs, unlike somebody I know in the stupid T-word.
Anything else?

Maybe. Tis a possibility.
He's Italian, if that helps.
