reserve this spot for me

There are a handful of local stores that I frequent about once a week or more. When I go to these stores, I have to park in the same area. At each store , I have a favorite row or area and each time I go I must park in that place. If its full, I go home and come again another time. If someone else is driving , I get very upset if they refuse to park in that same area.

hum while you brush

My husband hums when he brushes his teeth. I’ve pointed this out to him on numerous occassions – he still thinks I’m making it up.

lots of towels

I’m not a clean freak… But every night when I get ready to go to bed, I always get a brand new bath towel. The “old” towels were only used once, but i just HAVE to get a new one. My mom ends up complaining that she can’t keep up with the laundry for some reason and there are no more towels half way through the week..

lots of sponges

I must change the sponge every time I do the dishes. I hate sponges, and our dishwasher is broken. It makes me gag, and I’d rather leave the dishes in the sink for a week before I use an old sponge. Even though that has probably more germs sitting there.

i hate my odd birthday

I cannot stand anything that has odd numbers in it. For example, if one of my classroom numbers ends in an odd number that’s all I think about all class. My alarm clock must be set on an even number at all times, as well. I can’t stand the fact my birthday is 7/11.

wall pokes

Every time I go by a wall or something, and I touch it, I have to touch it for the amount of times that I am old. For example, if I poke a wall, and I’m currently 20 years old, I have to poke it 20 times. And if by some coincidence I miss one, I have to star over until I have touched it 20 times in a row.

maximizing rem sleep

After I learned that REM (rapid-eye movement) sleep is the type of sleep that makes you truly rested and that the first cycle of it happens within an hour and a half of continuous sleep, my naps now have to be a minimum of ninety minutes. If I get woken up in the middle of the nap, and thus am not able to get my daily amount of nap REM sleep, I get extremely upset that I wasted my time and end up feeling especially tired the rest of the day.

how does giada cut such perfect cubes?

Whenever I chop or dice produce (especially vegetables), each piece must be the same size. I will sit there chopping for as long as it takes to make sure they look the same.

allocating neurotic habits

I feel the need to apologize for not being a more neurotic poster.  Everyone has been sending in such amusing and great neuroses, and I’ve been neglecting them not because I don’t want to post them, but because I’ve allocated my neurotic energies to studying for finals and creating impeccable notes.  Not surprisingly, I have a massive hand cramp from constructing perfect notes in minuscule handwriting that only an ant can read.  So I apologize and after tomorrow I’ll be back to my normal neurotic self.  Thanks for your continued readership and for, of course, being neurotic.

looking means obligation

If I am reading a book before I go to bed, I have to complete the chapter I am on before turning out the lights. Once I finish the chapter, I have to stick the bookmark in the book without looking. If I see the first words of the next chapter, I have to read that one too before turning out the lights.
