Just Because . . . . . . . .

What things do you do just because????

I cannot sleep with any doors open around me, closet, bathroom, bedroom, whatever, it must be closed

Every time I put a cd back in the case, it must be perfectly straight. I hate it when the words are crooked or upside down

I always wipe up the sink after each use. I hate water spots on the counter

I never use condiments in resturants.
I floss at least 6 times a day.
I never spell my name correctly online...just because

Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall.. I have to sleep with a fan on. If not, I'm miserable. I have to be able to feel air blowing on me.

You're not alone on these two. lol

I must fall asleep with one foot hanging out the bed and uncovered. I don't know why.

***I'll think of some more later and add to the list***

I have to have equal proportions of food on my plate and I have to eat a little of everything each time.

I will not drink water first thing in the morning.

If I want a glass of milk and it's not cold enough, I will wait. Putting ice in a glass of milk is a no no.

At night I have to sleep in complete darkness....it's ok to take a nap in the daytime, but at night the room has to be pitch black.

I never drink from the glass in a restaurant I have to have a straw. I'm really not a drinker so don't think I'm out sipping wine with a straw.

I never pick up my utensils and just eat...I always clean it with a napkin....just like that's killing the germs or something, but it's habit.

I must have lipgloss, chapstick, or lipstick on and with me at all times because if I don't I have a habit of licking my lips like LL

It's a thing I do as well, and when I go out to lunch at work, and my boss happens to go, he always makes a comment about this. I just tell him that he likes to eat with dirty utensils.

Another thing I do just because is lock my car door as soon as I get in. If I am in someone else's car I'm always like will you please lock my door when they have auto-locks.

I do both of these, too! I'm very particular when I eat out.

AKAtude, I do the same thing!

I thought I was the only weirdo around! When I was young, my mom would come in and cover my foot up, and I would just take it out as soon as she was out of the room!

Okay, there are things I have to do or have before I can sleep. It has to be dark (i mean pitch black...i even put up black blinds to keep the light out!!!), I have to have the fan on, my radio must be on (tuned to the slow jamz station and set to go off in an hour-enough time for me to fall asleep), and the sheets must NOT have a wrinkle in them! If my sheets are messed up, I have to strip the entire bed and make the bed up from scratch! Also, my pillow must be cold in order for me to sleep on it, so I am constantly switching my pillow positions so the cold part can be against my face! I know...WEIRDO, I told you!

I thought that I was the only one who did that!!!!! I flip my pillow twenty times a night so that I can sleep on the cold part.

I do the "cool part of the pillow" thing too....Also, even if it's 100 degrees, I have to sleep with a blanket or sheet or something.

I HAVE to sleep with my fan on anytime of the year. People think I'm crazy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that

I MUST sleep with 2 pillows.

The room feels dead to me if my stereo or TV isn't on.

Also, when I take a shower or bath, I turn the water on first and then go use the toilet. It's much easier for me to "go" to the sound of running water.

Something else I do is I keep plastic gloves in my glove box in my car to use at the gas station. You know the ones like a dentist puts on when you go to the dentist. I don't like to touch the pump. The only time I might touch the pump is, if I happen to be getting gasoline, and then going straight home so I can wash my hands.

I'm a Virgo, we are very health conscious and major perfectionist. I can be anal at times.

I use a tissue to open public bathroom doors
I can't drink out of glasses without a straw at restaurants
I can't sleep without a sheet or socks, even if it's 100 degrees
I can't eat tough meat like pot roast
I can't drink milk, but I'm not lactose intolerant
I can't sleep with any lights on or doors open
I think I'm going to get food poisioning everytime I eat fast food (which is about twice a day) so I have to say a long prayer before I can eat anything
I can't use lip gloss out of a jar
I wouln't use anyone elses makeup
I change pillow cases if it's not mine(I'm not sleeping in anyone elses drool)
I always get magazines from the middle of the stack
If I have a bag of chips or candy, I push the bag to make sure there's no whole in it, if air comes out I wouln't eat it
I refuse to reuse grease(Drives my mom crazy)
I don't like to touch anything that's wet, if I do I have to wash my hands
I wouln't eat anything if it doesn't look 100% done
If I'm using a pencil, it has to be sharp
I can't sleep on my stomach

Just to let you know, I do not have OCD, now that I am writing all of this down I feel like I do. The sad thing is this is just a few of the things I do just because
