Dam I love these titles hehe, o so clever if I do say so myself. So OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a real and painful affliction facing many people daily. They need to count and perform little tasks or their minds will make their lives a living hell and this post is not to mock or make light of what they go through but to show how difficult it is for me on a much much (much) smaller scale. Ive always thought of myself as "particular" when it comes to how I want things done and those close to me can attest to the random instances where I jus want things done in a certain way or I'll start acting feelin like a crack addict and be unable to sit still.
I really couldnt say why Im so particular. I wish it had some sort of cool origin story to it like Wolverine or any other real good superhero but I jus think I dont like shit being wrong unless *Im* the one whose wrong. Otherwise I will see and be bothered by the errors anyone else may have done in their execution and rather than subjectthem myself to that unnecessary torture, its jus much easier for me to do things myself. Dont get me wrong Im accepting of help when offered (depending on the situation not to mention the offerer) and I'm not completely batshit crazy and correct everything the people who offer do (altho I often do give them explicit instructions as to how and what it is that I want and if the help calls for it, when or where)
I dont want you guys to think Im THIS bad by any means because Ive made sure to expend a whole lot of effort to not twitch and go nuts everytime something is out of place or when I didnt have a direct hand involved, it does however have a backlash. In blogging and in my other works/various aspects of life. I alluded to this previously but when it comes to my blogging I am VERY particular about this. IllDapoe will consistently try to encourage me to jus blog and pump out some entries but I jus cant work that way. If I dont feel its good enough or that its lacking I WILL sit on putting it out (I have entries on entries on entries sitting in my "Edit Post" section to back that up) I need a damn near perfect storm in order for me to blog especially in bulk but its almost as tho I need to set an atmosphere to properly get in my zone.
Sheldon Cooper will forever represent a worst case OCD scenario to me and I pray it never gets that bad for me but until if that day ever comes I can always laugh heartily at him and enjoy his cartoonish level of insanity and his foolish friends for continually tolerating him.

You should have got more into you're foibles mainly cause i hate sheldon(ye hate) plus i'm sure people would want to know how to get you to write a description for an episode since you're more than cpable of doing it. There is only one thing i do obsessively that i can think of and that's blowing - cups, drinks, straws. Not sure how it started but it keeps going cause one time i blew in a cup non-assumingly and a spider crawled out. So no amount of ridicule is going to get me to stop. If swallow i swallow even one spider the terrorist win. and i love my country too damned much.
ReplyDeleteI thought about doin that but I said nah because I dont want whomever reading this to be bothering me about my foibles and insanity. I have tons of quirks and I jus didnt want everyone pushing my buttons but rather laughing at Sheldons clearly visible and insane ones.
ReplyDeleteThat story is precisely how a lot of different compulsive actions start. I wish I could tell you how many times I read this over before I posted it and its still probably littered with errors. Dah well
I'd love to hear about ur obsessive compulsions. Personally if I hit one arm I have to hit the other....Juuuust so its even. Crazy i know...but if I buck my right toe i kick the chair with the left (embarrassed face)I just have to. I know a guy who does things in fours... you name it he does it. I took one of his cookies one day (of course he had four) and he fliiiipppppeddddd!!! Had me in the air cause I hid the other cookies and he wouldn't leave until I gave him one more cookie. My sister can tell if you touched her stuff because certain words of the bottle must face forward and when they are not everything is off. Everyone has a little OCD :) ur not alone.
ReplyDeleteLOL Oh "anonymous" I'd love to share em but I've gone through great lengths to hide them so that Im not randomly counting or tapping or measuring things for others amusement. illDapoe knows of some because of The Burning Is and how I want things presented if we're putting them out but Im not one to reveal my weaknesses all willy nilly... My potential nemesis could be reading.
ReplyDeleteThat dude you work with is amazing, and I feel happy in sayin Im not THAT crazy
