Last December, Babs posted some random thoughts and OCD kinds of things about her life - some of them really cracked me up. I got to thinking about that post whilst on a long drive today. So, I join Babs in her in quest to understand is there a difference between OCD, crazy, and full-on batshit crazy? And where do I fall on that continuum?
I have a pathological fear of thirst - I cannot get into the car, or leave the house, without a beverage. I also have a bladder the size of a teaspoon, which is incompatible with the whole thirst thing. Today, I packed 3 diet cokes and two green teas for a 3.5 hour drive. I had to use the restroom before I got past Wilmington (don't get me started on bathrooms!). Hell, maybe I'm just diabetic.
I become disoriented and unable to function when I don't have lip gloss, lip stick, or chapstick on. And I don't mean maybe! I would tear through a wall to get to chapstick if necessary. I was at dinner tonight with 3 male colleagues and could think of nothing other than how can I glop on a heap of lip gloss without looking out of place or pornographic. If I were stranded on an island and had to choose between flint and chapstick - I'd take the chapstick handsdown. I am that passionate about well-hydrated lips.
I cannot get out of bed when the numbers on the clock are anything other than 0 or 5.
6:00, 6:05, 6:10 - all o.k. - 6:04, 6:07, 6:19 NEVER!
It can sometimes take 30 minutes or more until I open my eyes on a 0 or 5.
I cannot throw out a button. I am compelled to save all buttons I find. What will I do with all these buttons - Idunno! Maybe we'll have a button-base currency some day and you will all be jealous of my button hording then.
I cannot stand dirty hands - mine or anyone elses. Dirty fingernails are the worst. Please, encourage handwashing whenever possible.
When I am on a plane, I MUST watch and listen to the whole emergency announcement given by the flight attendant - EVERY LAST WORD - failure to do so will most certainly result in a crash.
Perhaps I am only mildly touched.
Here are a few people I think are batshitcrazy:
Poster boy for why you should wear a helmet when you ride a motorcycle
Ms. Crack Is Wack herself
He is undeniably crazy and she must be too for marrying him
One word - Glitter
Yo! Its Milton Street!

Here's another one for the list: I can't stand to have seat envy. If I'm purchaing tix to something, I have to have the best seats available. Now I stopped short of paying $4000 to sit on Millionaire's Row for the Derby, but generally speaking, it drives me nuts to not have the best view of everything possible. It makes me cranky.
and my toenails can't be over the end of my toe. (ugh, i pained me to type that)
