- I count everything-Steps and stairs are my main ones. There are 11 steps up to our house. I count them every time I go up or down them. There are 15 steps up to my mom's house. There are 5 steps up into the church, then 3 more. See what I mean? The other day I caught myself counting the number of steps that I took to get to the bathroom from my classroom. And then I had to finish counting. There were 77:)
- I like even numbers. If I choose to count something, I like the numbers to be even. If they are, I can move on. If the number is odd, I like to find the center of whatever it is. The beams in the ceiling, the blocks on the wall, the rings on the shower curtain.
- I HATE germs! I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a germophobe, but I am getting close. I obsess over germs. I over think everything. I worry about what I touch. I don't touch anything in the bathroom that I don't have to. I avoid public restrooms at all costs. Don't tell anyone, but I have never used the restroom at our church because I have such a fear of public restrooms.
- I refuse to eat pointy French fries. This is one that benefits my husband. He gets all of my fries that I don't eat. I don't know why I don't like them, but I refuse to eat them if they are pointy or crunchy.
- I step on the lines. You know those lines at Wal-mart in the parking lot? I must step on all of them! And I like to align my steps so that I can step on the cracks of the sidewalk too.
- I have food issues too. I don't like for my food to touch on my plate. I also don't like to eat a few bites of one thing and then eat something of another. I eat all of one thing and then I move on to the next.
- I have a routine for everything. The way I shower, hair first, face last. The way I clean, bedroom first, dining room last. Before I go to bed I put lotion on my hands, chap-stick on my lips, and then I drink some water. Every night.
This is just the tip of the iceberg! I am sure that there a a million other things about myself that make me completely unique!
I realize that a post like this is completely abnormal. I also know that this is an invitation for you all to mock me:) Bring it on!
I'm speechless...I didn't know it was this bad. Really, Jill!
ReplyDeleteUm, I can be obsessive about stepping/not stepping on cracks.
ReplyDeleteAlso, anything new that I find interesting and I obsess over it. Going on a trip, it's all I can think about. Research it, talk about it, think about it. But it's like that with EVERYTHING I do, see, watch, read...anything new. Things recently include Genghis Khan, blogging, Turkey, Jane Austen...and a few others.
It's amazing that with every episode we watch I'm forcefully reminded of you.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. It's nice to know I'm not the only quirky person out there. I count everything, by fours. I count fours by fours and four fours by four, too. I like powers of two, so I guess that makes sense. I even count seconds, when keeping time, by fours 16's, 64's, etc.
ReplyDeleteI also count ceiling tiles and light fixtures. It can be hard shopping at Wal-mart because I sometimes get so distracted counting the number of fluourescent lights hanging from the ceiling X the number tubes per fixture X the Watts per tube X the price per killowatthour. It's not cheap to keep all those lights running. But, why should I care.
Thanks for sharing - it made me laugh!
