i am neurotic.

Whenever I eat gum or mints, I have to have at least two pieces in my mouth, never just one. For this reason, I usually decline when someone offers me gum or mints, because I would feel greedy asking for two.

When I find a new musical artist I like, I download the discography and get rid of the albums other people (or Wikipedia) say aren’t as popular or good. Sometimes I have compulsions to not download any more music because the number of songs in my iTunes is an important number. Like 1984 (my favorite book). The number of songs on my iPod is now 2010 (next year).

Before I go to bed, I have to count to one hundred(100), inhaling on even numbers, and exhaling on odd numbers. Then I have to count down from one hundred (100) to zero (0), using the same process. I have to do this at least once in order to fall asleep, and if something disturbs the process, I have to start over.

I’ve had sexual intercourse with 23 men, and I feel good that my number is prime. Part of me wants to stop there, or else I may feel inclined to go to the next prime…which is 29.

On myspace, in my photo album, there MUST be either 4 or 8 or 12 photos so the rows are complete. If not, it drives me crazy.

Whenever I make a frozen pizza I have to make sure that all of the slices have the same number of toppings on them, and that they are in straight lines, and it’s annoying when they don’t give me an equal number of toppings.

I have this weird obsession with tv remotes. everytime I use one I use three fingers to group the buttons into mutiples of three. If it doesn’t add up to be a multiple of three, I keep trying anyway. I still try on my own tv remote that i’ve had for eight years.

Whenever I clap, the number of claps has to be a number by which 48 is divisible. Usually it’s pretty easy, but when clapping goes on for a while, I often has to choose to finish early or keep on clapping after everyone else – the great dilemma of whether to stop at 24 or continue to 48. I often end up clapping very very softly after everyone has finished.

When I download or install something, I always watch the percentage bar and try to convert the percentage into a fraction, like “okay, it’s seven twentieths of the way done.”

I have this deal with itunes that I like all my music to be at the same playcount. So I want them to be all at… 47. and if 12 songs are at 46 I have to listen to all of those 12 songs before i can listen to a song that is at 47.
