    Have any of those weird little quirks? Things that just have to be right otherwise it will bother you for ages? List them here! I'll list the ones i can think of off the top of my head

    1. When we are watching T.V all the numbers for the volume have to be even or going up in multiples of 5 (but 5 and 15 can't be used)

    2. When i am on the PC and on the net if the I-net box is not maximised it will annoy me. If it looks maximised but it isn't then i have to maximise it

    3. All my Cd's in my room are in different sections depending on what kind of music it is and order of importance. If a CD is in the wrong section or it is at the bottom when it should be at the top i have to sort out ALL my Cd's

    4. This could kind of be classed as one i reckon but if anyone is walking behind me i have to stop and let them either walk at my side or in front of me. This is obviously only with friends lol

    5. I hate it when my desktop looks cluttered. My Mum moves around her icons to fit around her background all the time and i can't stand that. For the people who have seen my pictures on Post Your Desktop you should notice that they are always on the right hand side and look fairly neat. Wish i could be like that with my room lol

    There are more but i can't think of them right now. I'll write them down when i think of them and update

    I have a lot... Some of them I don't even know why I do. Don't know if some of these are obsessive, but oh well.

    00. My desk has to be clean, if it's not, I can't concentrate on anything but the messy desk.

    01. My CDs need to be ordered by case type, alphabetical order and then by artist.

    02. The volume on everything needs to be even.

    03. Whenever I enter a page or respawn in the game, I have to do a right-click or scroll the wheel on my mouse.

    04. My windows need to be maximized. If they aren't, I will stretch them to seem maximized though I have to maximize it.

    05. If it's a popup window, it has to be in the middle of my screen.

    06. Everything must be organized for me (papers, folders, magazines, CDs, etc.)

    07. I don't know if this is one, but I have to be watching something while I eat a meal.

    08. I'll check webpages I go to frequently every few minutes if I'm not doing anything in particular for absolutely no reason or even if I know it wouldn't be updated.

    09. My nails need to be short. It's odd. When I feel a nail is getting long, I'll bite it down 'til it's really short...

    I think I have more, but I can't think of them. I'll update my list when I think of them :). Yes, I am weird :chemist:...

    That's the same with me. And I guess it runs in my family since my mom and grandmother are the same way

    me too.

    I check people's profile on IM even though it's the 6th time I've done it within the time I've been online.


    I have to have people to the left of me when I am walking with them because I can't hear as well out of my right ear...I've just been used to it that way.

    Same here.

    I also always have to make sure that I keep saving whatever I am writing in Word. Like after typing a couple of sentences, I'll save and keep saving. I'm crazy.

    when i am on the net, after every site i go to , i feel the need to press ctrl + h (history) and delete the paths i went to .

    and when i am typing in a word document, i press ctrl + s (save) every 2 minutes. i'm paranoid i'll lose information if something goes wrong... like the electricity would be cut off or the house will get bombed.. :(

    All the ID3 tags for my MP3s in Winamp. (ESPECIALLY WITH MY LP COLLECTION) have a certain format to them so that they come up all neat and organized.

    Unless I ripped the CD myself, there will be no track #, year or genre. If it's a live show, the mp3's have to be in a folder with the location of the show, and the month, day year in brackets () with periods separating them ie: *show name* (03.03.03).

    1) I cannot sleep with my closet doors open, my bedroom door open, or any lights on in my room.

    2) I will cry if my bed is anywhere else other than against my wall.

    3) When I serve in volleyball, I must bounce the ball twice and spin it once in my hands and serve.

    4) This past summer before work, I would eat breakfast @ Tim Hortons. I would chose the same crossiant and OJ, and make sure my spot infront of the door was never occupied.

    5) Self-mutilation. :\

    6) I must have a cup of water on my night side table before bed.

    7) When writing out by hand, if I don't approve of the certain way I wrote a letter or word, I'll reshape it or scratch it out and start again.

    8) If I find myself at a mental block for a certain word, or the spelling of one, I'll open an explorer and such for the word in question at dictionary.com

    9) I will always eat with a small fork at meal times, a big fork doesn't suffice.

    10) My clothing, purse and shoes must match down to the slightest detail when I dress or else I'm unsatisfied.

    There's more, but I've hit a writer's block.

    I was diagnosed with OCD back in May. :wth:
