Oh lo siento. I had just a wee bit forgotten. Cool beans.

At work I only write with black pens.
Anywhere else,I use what's available.
I must be covered to fall asleep.
I make lists for everything... to do list,
grocery list, people to call, websites to check,
books to buy ...
I must have something hot to drink in the morning.
I clean my desk on Fridays.

I call my sister over 800 miles away almost everyday (sometimes more than once a day) to reminisce, to tell her about crazy drivers, to share my day with her...Just Because I love her.

- I chew gum every day
- I too have to sleep w/ the fan on or I don't get much sleep
- I have to sleep w/ the sound of the ocean in the background that repeats all night or I don't get much sleep
- I have to have chapstick and lotion to put on throughout the day or I'm a nervous wreck
- I take my own towels whenever I stay over someone's elses house (except family) or at a hotel

1) When using public restrooms, I use toilet paper to enter and leave the stall. I also use paper towels to turn on the faucet and open the restroom door.

2) I wash my hands as soon as I come into my apartment. Simply because I don't want the germs of the outside to stay on me while I'm "at home."

3)I always sleep with sheets/covers over my feet. I used to think there were monsters under my bed as a child who wanted to eat my feet or grab me under the bed. By putting coverings over my feet, I felt as if I were protecting my feet. Unfortunately, this habit hasn't ceased.

4) I wash my hands three times before I eat. Of course, I have to couple this regimen with lots of lotion.

5) I like using only black ink pens. The writing seems more permanent and professional than blue ink.

6) I have to wear earrings when I go outside. Otherwise, I feel naked.

7) At restaurants, I clean my eating utensils with lemons. I always ask for a bowl of lemons so that I can be thorough. Lemons are a natural astringent. I also need a straw. But I was at a formal luncheon yesterday, and I drank from the glass. I don't understand it, but let that ballroom turn into a restaurant, and I would have been like, "straw, please"

I forgot about these...I am also known for using hand sanitizer to clean my utensils . I know, I'm crazy, I have "issues", etc. etc.

Also, I am one of those people that has to match (color-wise)--my shoes must be the same color as my shirt or pants. My accessories must also be color-coordinated with my outfit. My underwaer must match also. People think tha I take a lot of time obsessing over what to wear and making sure this is the exact same shade as that, but the truth is it's a natural habit of mine...

Another thing about me is that I MUST have my jewely on (bracelets, rings, earrings, and neclace--the whole nine yards)--or else I feel naked and my whole day is off-kilter ...

Sugar_N_Spice, you sound like me. I don't have earrings, yet I feel naked without them. I always wear my high school ring and a pair of silver bracelets, that my mother gave to me as a Christmas present almost 10 years ago, or else I feel self-conscious. This goes especially for the high school ring. If I don't have it on, I tend to fiddle with my finger like it's still there. And if I don't have on my bracelets, I tend to wiggle my arm a little just to see if I'll hear them cling.

*I don't touch anything in restrooms with my barehands.

*No food is allowed in my bedroom!!!!

*I have to use straws at restaurants too.

*I don't eat within two hours before I go to bed.

*I don't like to use lotion. But if I really need it i'll use a few drops.

*I must have a fan on when I go to sleep, regardless of the outside temp.

*I don't sleep in hotel beds...some of the things I seen...yuck! I just bust out a sleeping bag instead.

*My meat has to be almost burnt, I don't want any salmonella or e-coli.



...and don't you all hate this? You go to a social function and you wash your hands before you eat. But guess what? EVERYONE and their grandma wants to shake your HAND, your RIGHT (or left) hand, that you EAT with.

[zchi2]

I refuse to sit on anyone's toilet no matter if it's a family member. Only mine

When I turn on my computer I have to check my e-mail first before I do anything else.

I hate to eat anything that someone touched with their bare hands even if I just saw they wash their hands.

My hair must be parted on the same side.

The toothpaste tube must be squeezed from the bottom, not in the middle

I don't eat or drink after people.

[prospectiverushee]

No matter how late it is, I must get my mail as soon as I get home

When I park, my car has to be perfectly straight between the lines

When I use the bathroom at work, if I see someone has flushed the toliet, I'll flush it,but will use another stall

I have to sleep with socks on

I have to be covered up at night even if it's 100 degrees

I also have to wear sweats to bed even if it's 100 degrees

i was the exact same way as many of you, my mom raised a lil princess.
until.... i spent a summer abroad in a '3rd world country'....then all of that business went right out the door.... straws?...condiments?....freshly cleaned towels?....air conditioning, fans and warm water were luxuries....and forget personal space...that only exists in the western world...i WISH the car doors locked...oh yeah...some cars didn't have doors...email?..my mail arrived weeks late......oh look, another power outage...it'll be pitch black for hours...
i still appreciate and use my exfoliating gloves while bathing and all. but, my life no longer ends without them.

Where did you go just so I'll know not to go there... J/K Actually, I was thinking of traveling to West Africa for a semester but I need to think about it some more.

*I have to have lip gloss or chapstick on if I don't have on lipstick.
*I have to brush my teeth as soon as I finish eating
*When I get on the computer, I have a routine which includes checking all email, visit Greekchat, etc...
*I CANNOT sleep on a bed without a featherbed topper or eggcrate on top...I've been spoiled by them.

Hi everyone,
These are the only wierd things I do that I can remember now.

* I have to have at least a sheet or else I cannot sleep. I also stick my feet out
* There has to be some form of cool air coming in. In winter, when my roommates have the heater on, I open the window in my room slightly.
* This is no longer the case - but when I was younger, I would never eat outside my house or very close family.
* I usually eat things like Skittles in even numbers, and if there happens to be an odd number - I'll bite it in half. If I can, I eat the pairs in the same or similar colors. One for each cheek. This actually concerns me because it just seems so ridiculous

* If I order fast food, I must eat the fries first.

[lovele1978]

I also have to color coordinate my clothes and accessories, especially my socks. I don't know why but they have to match my outfit.

I can't stand not knowing what time it is so I have a clock in every room of my house (even the bathroom), yet I don't wear a watch.

I cannot go into a bathroom stall if someone just walked out of it (unless it's a emergency )

I have five pillows on my bed and I sleep with them all when my boyfriend is not there. I have three lined across the top of the bed, one going down the left side of the bed, on the other one in between my knees.

I keep alcohol wipes in my desk at work to wipe down my phone and keyboard.

Have to have a mirror handy at all times.

I have to wear tights under my clothes in the winter time. And it has to be the grey ones that I have had since my freshman year of college that are pretty thin by now and have had to sew holes in various areas more than once.

OK, I'm stopping now. I'm making myself feel crazy!!
