i am neurotic.

I hate things that are asymmetrical. It bothers me to no end. Unfortunately for me, one of my legs is longer than the other, making one side of my hip bigger than that of the other side. This is noticeable, and you have no idea how much it bothers me. I am one of my biggest fears.

I hate escalators. I have missed job interviews because a ride on an escalator was required. If forced to ride…I have to step up three steps…and hold the handrail tightly all the way up. Going down is not an option.

I am actually so neurotic that it bothers me that the “i” in the web address of this site isn’t capitalized.

I can’t stand missing or misused apostrophes. I have to inform the author, add it or focus myself physically and mentally on something else until I forget about it.

I carry around a little Lego man every where I go. I pretend he’s the strong version of me from another dimension. He gives me confidence.

whenever i am in public, listening to music on my iPod, and someone walks by me, i always pause the music to make sure i’m not making any weird noises. if i fail to pause the music, i hold my breath.

I only eat eggs that are made sunny side up. And I don’t eat the white part of the egg. To me, its just there for decoration. So when I eat the egg, I cut around the yolk, put a bunch of salt, and put it straight into my mouth; I’m afraid that if I go slow, the yolk will have more of a chance to break. If I go to a restaurant, I get really irritated when the cook breaks the yolk of the eggs. If it gets to the table broken, I switch unbroken egg yolks with my boyfriend.

When i see a shirt or article of clothing in my closet that i haven’t worn in a long time, i feel sad that it might be lonely, so ill put it on and walk around the house until i go out then i change back into what i wanted to wear.

The first thing I do in every new place I go to is establishing the cardinal points. I cannot relax until I succeeded.

When I wake up in the morning I HAVE to use the toilet, brush my teeth and swab my ears with Q-tips even if I’m going back to bed. Otherwise I won’t be able to relax.
