Whenever I eat something that you can count, I count it and I have to eat an even number. When it's colourful, like M&Ms or other candy, it has to be two reds, two blue, two green ect. I HATE it when I take myself a number of chocolate pieces and someone comes and steals ONE pice. Steal two or none, please I like buying candy, cookies ect. from brands that I know to have an even number of pieces in each package.I developed more or less complex rituals when it comes to eating certain sweets. It usually goes along the lines of: first the outer layer of chocolate, then the nut in the middle, then the chocolate cream and then anything that's left.I am somewhat compulsive, checking for wallet, keys, tickets ect. more than normal and while my apartment has an overall chaotic look, I like small things to be symmetrical, in number or arrangement or both. I like holding aubergines, but I hate the taste.

When I was little ( and come to think of it I still do ) I would eat my marshmellow cereal in a certian order. I would eat the cereal peices first and then eat the marshmellow peices last.

I'm a pretty laid back gal, but, don't I repeat,don't squeeze the middle of the toothpaste tube. It drives me mental. Oh and one more thing...my tools in my toolbox all have there own place. I could go into my toolbox blindfolded and I will find anything. If I don't... I'll hunt down the co-worker responible for not replacing it in the approprate area.

When I eat an ice pop I can't stand the feeling of the stick on my tongue or teeth. I won't let a doctor put a tongue depresser in my my mouth.I don't like touching wooden spoons either.When I'm pregnant (and I think I've mentioned this before on here) I have urges to eat cement,dirt,gasoline...this list goes on. I'll watch home improvement shows in the hopes the'll pour cement. Don't laugh at me! There's a scientific term for this. I'm not the only pregnant weirdo.

I can't eat drum sticks because that rubbery piece inside grosses me out, I memorize the license plates of cars in front of me, I make the sign of the cross when I pass little critters that failed to make it safely across the road and I can't stand the feel of cereal marshmallows against my teeth.

cotton balls yucky.... I can't stand them too! The sound styrofoam makes I can't even drink out of styrofoam cups! I can't touch dead animals that are stiff(working at the SPCA helped make that one not as much as a problem...) I'm afrid of being bitten by my pets the mice scare me, I'd rather give birth to another 9 pounder then get bitten by a tiny little mouse! I can not drink milk, it grosses me out so bad. I remeber my Mom giving the cats the lumpy milk... Plus when you find a sippy cup that's been missing a week...I can't bite into tomatoes, I love them I just have to cut them first. The texture reminds me of human flesh...Spiders, crickets any insect I can't hold, it's the fear of being bitten again...I try to make words with licence plates... I check to see if numbers are divisable by 3... When eating m&m's I eat the my least favorite color first and make my way to my favorite. Brown first, then orange, green, yellow, red and then blue. I'll also eat them so I have a certain number if each either 1 blue,2 yellow, 3 red or 3 of each color.Thats it for now... We are all crazy in our own little ways!!

Twice a day, I have to go to the "special place" deep down in my imagination....those times are when I'm brushing my teeth. I can not STAND the texture, taste, smell, etc. of any toothpaste...especially in the morning. There have been several occasions when my husband has ran into the bathroom to make sure I was ok because I was gagging so bad

Wow, you people seem so normal!I absolutely refuse to let go of an arguement. This comes in handy when fighting with cell phone companies, but not so much in a family situation. I once got money back from a laywer! I can't stand certain textures (cotton balls in the medicine bottles feels SOOOO gross when you have to reach in with a finger). I cannot stand certain smells when pregnant- coffee being one of them.I am totally addicted to caffeinated drinks. No reaction of energy or anything, just a headache if I don't get it. I can sleep after drinking a few cups of coffee...I hold my breath when going past a cemetary and will swerve when safe to miss a dead animal in the road.Oh, and I sleep very lightly, when I sleep... if I sleep at all... Insomnia is a lifestyle.I obsess over spelling and grammar and will edit posts for either as soon as I notice it!

I'm a little obsessive about movies and tv shows. Sometimes I can't sleep unless I have a specific dvd in the player. That might go on for a month or even longer, but sometimes I'll have a really bad nightmare, I associate it with whatever was in the DVD player, and I have to switch it. I have very sensitive hearing. Low base drives me batty because it literally feels like it's thumping around my brain and skull. High pitches are annoying too. I can hear the high white noise that tvs, computers, radios, vacuum cleaners etc give off. I can't really explain it, but there's sort of a high pitch that goes with some of 'em (the more annoying ones) but the rest it's sort of like someone's stuffed some cotton in my ears. I can still hear perfectly fine, but there's the overlying haze. I HATE gritty textures, and rocky textures. We occasionally get big ol' cement or stone tiles for projects. I can't touch 'em, and can't stand to hear anyone else touch them. The grating noise they make is awful. I also don't like the feeling of chalk unless it's on an extremely smooth black board. Sidewalk, forget it. I'm a little fussy about clothes, but I've managed to get those worked out so I fix 'em where they don't bother me anymore. Socks absolutely have to have the seam going over a very specific place on my toes, or it's useless. I can't go much longer than a week on a "normal" sleep schedule. At some point, without me really noticing, I start going to sleep later and later, and waking up later and later in the afternoon. Just a natural nightowl, I guess. Also, I do best on at least 10 hours of sleep. I love symmetry. Don't absolutely have to have it, but it is obvious if something is off, and it'll distract me for a while. Oh, and this last one might be one that some remember from some time ago. I've tried to collect strange items when I was younger. One was left over unpopped popcorn kernals from the bottom of the bowl. (That one led to having to go to the hospital to get one removed from my ear) And I once, for a very short time, collected eyelashes.

I can't stand even the slightest smell of salad dressing and also fresh coconut, scrambled eggs after 7PM and bell pepers & coconut, eggs and bellpeper is in my crabs' diet. Even if there is a tiny imperfection in most things, I'll go nuts!
