My mother is a dental nurse and she would always make us brush our teeth twice a day.

Now, I have such a bad habit that I brush twice a day but also keep toothbrushes to almost every location I frequent e.g. work, friends house, girlfriends, car, bedroom and bathroom for whenever necessary.

I walk around the house while brushing my teeth. Like to watch tv or just wander because otherwise I get bored and do a half arsed job.
Yeah I have to put something on for me to watch while I brush otherwise it's too ******* boring (the reason in the first place why I delay it).

My mum gets absolutely furious at this because I am spreading germs around the house as specks of toothpaste and saliva will fly out onto every object.

Whenever I arrive home I pee in the yard before going inside. Why waste water?
Haha, yeah I do that too. I also relieve myself in the same spot in the backyard before heading to work each morning. In fact, just in general I would urinate outside far more often that I do in a toilet - even if I have to walk past a toilet to get outside. Not sure why - it's not about saving water for me, there's just something about pissing outside. I'm told it's not very ladylike, but **** that right?

I associate things I do or have done on weekends with the days footy games happened.

For example, I would have no idea if you asked me what I did on the night of the 24th of May this year, but if you asked me what I did the night Port played Hawthorn on 24/5 this year, I could tell you that I was at a party or whatever.

Has your birthday ever fallen on any significant games or noteworthy games?

The last time I went to an AFL game on my actual birthday was in 2011 against Fremantle with my dad. Our car broke down on the way to Melbourne, so we had to borrow my sister's, and it was a stinking hot day. We won by 99 points.

Previous to that, 2004 against the Western Bulldogs. Defender Matthew Croft kicked five goals in his last game and they beat us by that exact margin. We went into the rooms after the match and, because I was crying due to the loss, we were invited in to mingle with the players.

I'd think that's pretty common, really.

Lots of people do this, but it's probably quite rare for people my age (23).

I love watches. I won't spend more than 250ish on a night out, any amount of money on a playstation etc or 4-500 bucks on a TV or a smartphone like most gen Ys, but I'll happily drop a grand or 2 on a quality automatic watch that really takes my fancy.

Hell the other day I seriously considered buying a GMT master II 11670 BLNR before deciding against.

All this for a timepiece that is less accurate than a $10 quartz watch.
What watch would you recommend for a first-time watch buyer? Something stylish but with poverty prices.

Depends what style/movement you want but you can't go wrong with a good Japanese brand like Citizen (excellent customer service in my experience), Seiko or even Casio.

Those brands will get you something stylish and good quality for <$200-300
