Why Mallory Is the Way She Is Part I: OCD

[missbingley]

Last week, in my politics class, I had to do an oral presentation and hand in an outline with my thesis, sources, etc

Honey, you can boss me around to your heart's content. I won't complain.

[missbingley]

And that is one of many reasons why I love you.

Hee!

I'm pretty anal, too. People come over to my apartment and it's all I can do to not be like "DON'T! TOUCH! ANYTHING!". I like things my way! But I think everyone is like that to some extent, we all have our little rituals and stuff, just some more than others. But hey I mean at least you know what you want, because it could be worse - you could be one of those annoying people who live a life of eternal indecision and general ineptitude.

Shudder. Those people make me twitchy. I get uptight on their behalf sometimes.

Admitting that your parents have a problem is the first step toward getting better. :P

I always love the portrait of a Mallory as a young woman entries, so thank you! I hope that my daughter turns out exactly like you, but am simultaneously terrified at what that will mean to my already fragile nerves in seven short years.

It was hard at first, but I've come to terms with it. My parents are weird. Hopefully that will help us all heal.

Awww, thank you! And I hope, for your sake, that Catherine doesn't turn out like me because...well, your nerves will be totally shot and she'll try your patience. Like, a lot. But I guess I'm not all bad, there are worse people she could be like.

::blush:: Coming from the queen of fab, that means a lot. Danke.

I wonder about the parents who didn't teach their kids to color in the lines, how do you let your child grow up like that? And then when the teachers didn't correct it? That's just not right.

[sleestak]

Coloring fascist!!

[missbingley]

Damn straight. The lines are there for a reason, yo.

Oh God, I HATE group projects. Those other fuckers always screw everything up! Just let me do it! LET ME DO IT ALL!

That's true, but I always got sick of doing everyone else's work too.

Why can't there be more people who know what they're doing?

[missbingley]

Why can't there be more people who know what they're doing?

Seriously. That would solve so many of the world's problems.

[missbingley]

I do the same thing! I always just take over because I trust no one. Still. It's a sickness, but whatevah.
