i am neurotic.

It bothers me when people do not use the correct punctuation and capitalization. Like in the title of this website. I am neurotic. I.I.I. Capital I. Please change it.

If can’t seem to put my mind on rest if the label I’ve written on a CD/DVD if not perfectly symmetrical. If the words gets distorted while writing then I feel like destroying the DVD altogether. This way sometimes I have to use 3 or 4 DVD’s to write the same data.

When I hand-write any documents, I usually end up retracing the words I write 3-5 times, so that they look uniform and deliberate. I’m afraid of thinking that my own handwriting is messy — I’m a typically low-maintenance male.

Whenever I am writing a paper, to motivate myself I spin on the chair 5 times, for the ideas to “flow” better in my mind.

I canNOT write on the backs of pages.  The dents left from the first side of writing cannot be written on.  And I know it is a waste of paper, but I just can’t bring myself to get over it.

When I write notes in school, my handwriting has to be perfect. If it does not look visually pleasing I have to rewrite it, or I continue to think about it. Also I cannot stand scratch out marks on paper. I mean the kind you make when you make a mistake and have no eraser. They drive me nuts, so when I’m writing in pen and make a mistake, I have to start a new paper.

After writing i have to rub whatever i have written. I think it’s because I’m curious whether or not the lead or ink will smudge, but i cannot walk away from it until I have rubbed it entirely.

Every time I begin to write on a fresh clean sheet of paper I must scratch the paper. Each piece of paper needs a different place scratched and each a different amount of time. I hope the paper enjoys this.

When I’m writing anything, an email, g chatting, a letter, anything, and I am referring, even casually, to something someone said, I have to surround the statement with quotation marks. If I don’t do this I fear I will absorb the quoted’s bad characteristics or habits. So I’m neurotic and also judgemental.
