OCD

To my experience, we're all OCD about one thing or another. What are some of the things you're OCD about? (I apologize to those of you who might be bothered by my use of "OCD" as an adjective, but not sincerely

You're adorable. :D

We hadn't been long living here (looking after my Mum) and I was sitting up in bed reading ... I caught something moving out of the corner of my eye, and it just happened to be a White-tailed Spider ... these are nasty little fuckers with a mean nip, so I wasn't too impressed ... I check the walls EVERY NIGHT now!!

Yikes. Haha I got shivers just reading the Wiki entry. Interesting that they hunt rather than use a web to trap prey, and other spiders are its preferred meal. At least they don't seem to do any real harm to humans. That's one thing I like about where I live -- there aren't many large or dangerous spiders here (knock on wood), but then, I'm told there is the occasional brown recluse, which is the deadliest of them all. : / I freaked out once when I found a wolf spider on our balcony. I destroyed its web and it was right back where it was the next day, so I finally called maintenance to take care of it before it laid eggs and we had a bunch of them. *shivers at the thought*

mostly im weird about eating, and the order in which things get et.

pies - top, then middle, then shell.
croissants (plain) - claws, then skin, then soft innards. i think of them like crabs made of pastry.
dinner - things i like least then in order til the best bits last.
toasted sandwiches - crust then middle. ditto pizza. this is a surgical endeavour, requiring my favourite knife. i use that knife for everything. i also have a favourite fork, favourite mug for tea, favourite mug for coffee, and a bunch of other things. if it wasnt for the vague possibility that i might have visitors, id throw out everything else.

i also shower in order - what gets washed first through last, where extra bits like hair and shaving come it...

and yet, really, i live like a bum, until someone threatens to come over.

holy crap, im such a shut-in.

[six_demon_bag]

I've become a bit of one myself.

[six_demon_bag]

Nice list!

Haha I'm the same way with my meals, starting with what I like least and finishing with the best bits, and I also eat sandwiches from crust to middle, and same with pizza wrap type things, 'cause I like the middle the best.

I also have a specific order for my morning bathroom routine, including showering, which sounds a lot like yours.

"some threatens to come over" This made me laugh. =)

haha forgot to mention: I also have my favorite pieces of silverwear to eat from (is it weird to attach sentimental value to a spoon?) and glasses to drink from.

The power switches and plugs thing is probably a good OCD habit to have -- I wouldn't mind paying more attention to that sort of thing myself.

Haha! I always notice grammar, too! However, I usually get a good laugh when I see an ad or something like that with bad grammar. And ugh, missed apostrophes. Yes.

[six_demon_bag]

I know what you mean. I do a lot of proofreading where I work and a bit of data entry, and it kills me to have to enter something for a company who uses improper grammar on their own name. I can't change it because we have to go by what they write. For instance: Working Dogs of Northern California. That's the way it should look, but they have it Working Dog's of Northern California. They write it that way repeatedly and it's even printed that way on their checks. Are you kidding me?!

[daylight_broke]

Yes! I do the same thing too: arrange the pepperoni circles in a symmetrical pattern on my frozen pizza.

BTW, what is your zodiac sign?

[six_demon_bag]

Awesome! *high-five*

I'm a Taurus.

[daylight_broke]

You love listening and collecting music. That is such a typical Taurus trait: loving music and collecting things of value. :)

Wow, I did not intend to, but I read over that whole page. I've read stuff like this before, but nothing so accurate. There are a couple of things that don't apply to me, but overall, just wow. Thanks for the link! What sign are you, by the way?
