I have an dining hall, usually about 30 tiles long and 7 wide. The entire length of it has:

_ctstc_
_ctstc_
_ctstc_
etc.

(space chair table statue table chair because I don't care to find the appropriate symbols)

Also, I wall off my entire map as soon as I've got enough idlers to assign 30+ masons and outdoor block stockpiles.

Whenever traders get pissy at me for not accepting their dumb trades, I pull the lever in my meeting hall, which locks the only way in and out of the fortress. I then steal their underwear and whatever item I was trying to get from them (the last time it was an anvil that they wanted for a bunch of narrow GCS clothing, a bunch more than I wanted to give).

Acting like some damn Bookkeeping Manager.

Beside journal of Rigothar*, "Craftflesh" if you wish (tundra, berserking children, dehydration and usual), I keep list of:

-Citizens (wave in which they came, their family, on-place children birth dates also noted)
-Dead dwarves (just a number, gotta make a full detailed list)
-Gods (Who, how depicted, their 'spheres' and how many believers of them are in Rigothar)

When something happens (like, another baby pops up), I pause the game and write all necessary info onto the list.

*I think I will tweak the journal and post it in Community Stories sometime.

I do the same thing in many games, particularly SEV.

Oh, another of my odd behaviors: I like to make a "hall of labors" in the stone one floor beneath my main stockpile, with stairs in the middle going up. EVERY workshop  have is in a room attached to that hall and stockpiles are either above or below it.

i always dig out a fairly large farming complex first. 10x20 food stockple 10x20 booze stockpile 5x5 seed stockpile a bunch of 4x4 plots next to the food stockpile i make a huge wood stockpile, so i can continue use during a siege. and i buld all food/farming related workshops in their own little room they get doors if there is a chance of miasma. next i always dig out the workshop. 20x20 area and i group the workshops. masons/mechanics in top left. jewler center left carpenters/bowyers bottom left, top right woodburners/glassmakers/smelters/metalworkers (these get their own workshop if i have magma) right center is the kennel and bottom right a bunch of craftdwarves shops. each workshop type has a stockpile to keep them supplied. there is a 3x3 set of stairn in the center, and 20x20 stockpiles in rooms above and below, each room is an individual stockpile, except for the ammo/weapons/armor/leather level. only once the main workshop and first storage (furniture) is made do i start on the bedrooms.

What isn't worth more than Colorado?
Colorado?

As for eccentric behaviour: every (non-military) dwarf must have a personal room with a cabinet and coffer. And doors. Door everywhere. If there's a gap between two walls, a door must be placed in it. And the dining room must be furnished evenly and equally (material AND quality). Stones must be kept too. But they also have to be out of the way (not just invisible, out of the way). Furniture (and crafts an mechanisms etc.) can only be made out of the first layer-stone that I strike. That's about it...
