Box 135 in Whoever, TX 77654, i will QUICKLY add that to be 130.

then, after i do that, i divide that number by 2, get the half and then mentally cluster numbers together that equal the half amount. using the example above, half of 130 is 65 so i could put these numbers together: [1 9 9 9 1 8 1 2 3 3 4 6 9] and [7 8 2 4 6 1 3 5 7 7 6 5 4] taken from the numbers above.

i know it's weird and it seems like a lot but i can do it all in a matter of seconds. it's also a nuance because i HAVE to count EVERYTHING. sometimes, i try not to and i still do. it's so weird but i HAVE to do it. that's why i don't really like odd numbers because if i add everything up and it equals an odd number, i roll my eyes as if it has pissed me off. and i'll count the same thing over and over. if i'm driving, i'll count all the numbers in the speed number sign everytime i see it. then, if i'm watching a long commercial for a product that you order off the <a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=1&k=t%20v" onmouseover="window.status='<a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=1&k=t%20v" onmouseover="window.status='<a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=1&k=t%20v" onmouseover="window.status='t.v'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">t.v</a>'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">t.v</a>'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">t.v</a>., i'll count-divide-cluster them repeatedly until the commercial goes off.

i have others but i'm sure that this one is weird enough for you all to be thinking "she aint the teacher of crunk, she the teacher of CRAZY!" so i won't share anymore. but, at least you all know that because of this, you can't hang with me on the domino table because i count EVERY play and know what possible plays my opponent has and i play accordingly.

Wow! This is really complicated but makes me feel so much better. I have amild form of OCD where everything has to be symmetrical and I count numbers over and over again, in a palindromic way (but with numbers, not letters/words). It used to bother the crap out of my family because I do this aloud and for the longest no one knew what the heck I was doing. After I told them they still didn't undersstand but at least knew what was going on.

I also have issues with hairs. I cannot have random hairs anyplace in my house.

I also (unfortunately) pull out my eyelashes one by one and look at each lash rolling it between my fingers and examining the little piece of membrane that attaches to the lid. It's bad when I am stressed and I usually have huge spaces of eyelash missing at any given time. I then line them up from shortest to longest and in the pattern they'd be if still atached to my eyelid.

I cannot have anything touch my feet (i.e. like little pieces of crap from say on my floor since there is a no shoes rule in my house) or I LOSE IT!

I also sleep on my stomach, face down. My brothers used to tease me so I modified it and now I sleep on my chin with BOTH arms by my side so my full weight is supported by my chin.

I also sleep with my eyes mostly open. Not the open where it's like a little bit of pupil showing but OPEN type of open.

I also don't have a problem sleeping with one eye shut and one eye totally open (i.e during class, etc...I do the same when I am driving late and I stop at a light and I need to keep one eye on the light for when it turns green).

The foot/cover thing, the closed door/sleep thing and the can't sleep unless quiet thing, also, but these listed above are definitely the "weirdest."
