I am not sure if I have OCD or not, but I do know that there is something different about me. I can not stand odd numbers. In my car, the radio has to be on an even number. My t.v. at home has to be turned to an even number. I am currently 19 years old and I have had the worst year….I have a feeling it is because of the number and that next year will be better. When putting things on a shelf, they have to be organized and put together in groups of like things. I alphabetize my movies and books. I even count crackers to put in my soup to make sure I have an even number of crackers in it. This may sound weird to some, but I deal with it every day and it is very real. Also, I am very adamant about spell checking everything. I find myself correcting books I read and newspapers and things like that. It can be hard on me sometimes, but I just do it without realizing it sometimes.

Weeeeell, I was talking about guava and pineapple jellies (two different flavors, not a mix of the two). But we have everything here… all the tropical fruits that you get in Costa Rica, you can also have in jelly form. So I like papaya. And mango. And starfruit. And just about anything else because I’m a fruit person.

I also have OCD tendencies. I’m not sure I would say that I have OCD, because I’m not sure what exactly makes one OCD vs. a bit anal retentive about things. But, for example, if one hand gets wet (like accidentally gets sprayed by a sprinkler), I feel like the devil has possessed me until I get the other one wet. I can’t just dry off the first. I also have this habit of tensing my muscles. Maybe it’s for stress relief, I don’t know. But anyway, if I have the complex little tense routines that I go through and if I clench my right calf 3 times, I have to clench my left 3 equal times. I can’t not. I mean, I literally cannot. I’ve tried. And I can’t resist the urge. It’s bad.

So anyway, you’re not alone.

p.s. I make pb&j right.

Ha, yea, sometimes it’s funny. But most of the time I annoy the hell out of myself. It was worse when I was younger. A lot worse. I’m doing pretty good right now though.
