Same here on both of those. Looking around, not a single thing in my room, or my wardrobe has any yellow, save for a pair of smiley face boxers, which, now that i think of it, i usually change out of if i'm going to sleep or otherwise gonna just hang out in my underwear.

yeah, me too. yet another reason why i cant quit smoking. i enjoy having that excuse to leave everyone. |
Yyyyyup, I've been meaning to quit smoking for a while, and I'd say thats the main reason I haven't. As for other things...
-When I go to sleep, i toss and turn for a while, anywhere from 5-10 minutes to an hour, then end up on my left side. from there, i eventually turn to my stomach for a bit, then to my right side, then on my back for a bit, then finally i settle on my left side. every night as i'm doing it i'm convinced the next side's gonna be the most comfortable, but the left side just isn't as appealing until i've tried everything else :wtf:
-Here's another good sleep one. I can't sleep in an empty bed (besides me of course). I always have my laptop beside me (bad for my laptop i konw, but i pass out that way sometimes :p), but more usually my guitar or my bass, or whichever i've been playing that day, sitting next to me on the wall side of the bed. here's the kicker: i absolutely cannot fall asleep in my own bed with someone else in bed with me. with my most recent girlfriend she stayed over a number of times at my apartment, and i didn't get a wink of sleep a single time. at her place or on vacation i'm fine, but not my bed. same thing with the girl before that too. i actually started putting the guitar there so i'd get used to sharing a bed, but that just made me more neurotic :(
-I also can't get to sleep unless i accomplish or do something that day. even watching a movie or something. but if i've just hung out and done nothing i'll day i end up writing music for an hour or watching a movie at like 4am cause i can't sleep otherwise |

hahahahahaha @ the predators. but yeah, ive never been a fan of pissing directly into the water either. |
It's a very serious instinctual inclination!
When I had pygmy goats at one point [lol] I noticed they drank really, really super quietly. They would sort of curve their tongues into this straw-like shape and silently slurp water, not making a sound. I figured this was a very similar instinct - they didn't want anything to hear them drinking, as that is a very vulnerable position to be at. So would pissing be, I'd imagine. |

I have quite few I think, and I'll post more as I think of them. The first is food related. Food serving related more to the point.
When I sit down to eat, and look down at the plate I hate it, HATE IT, when my food-types are touching and overflowing onto each other. Take last night's dinner: Steak, mash, and steamed veges. The steak SHOULD NOT be touching either the mash, or the veges. The veges SHOULD NOT be touching the mash or the steak...You get the idea. Sauce is (mostly, depending on the sauce) excluded from this neurosis, but the main foods? Hell no.
Why? Because I wanna mix my food just the way I wanna mix it, rather than "Ah crap, so I kind of HAVE to eat this mouthful as it is, with no input."
When I have stir-fries or curries etc. I end up staring at my plate for 5 minutes trying to figure out the best way to go about eating the food :( |

Will you clean my apartment? |

- I have to have "white noise" when I am sleeping. I, and 99.9% of the time, I leave my computer running.
- I cannot sleep unless I have a blanket. I sleep on my side, and the ear that is not on the pillow MUST be covered with the blanket. I have to have something to put between my legs (usually a pillow).
- Toilet paper should come from the top. Always. I will even change toilet paper rolls at other peoples houses (yea, I know I shouldn't).

This, plus i cannot sleep with a room that is completely closed off. Something must be open, a door or a window, but if its completely closed i cannot stand it. This was the cause of the biggest fight my best friend and i ever had when we were roommates, since he (like many people here apparently) cant stand it if anything is open in the room that he sleeps in. |

The sound it makes when you pee straight into water. I can't stand it. I feel like I am some weakly mammal peeing in a creek and that predators will be lured to my location if they hear me urinating too loudly.
I always have to pee on the sides of the bowl if at all possible. Certainly not the seat or anyhting that would make a mess, but like, the inside of the bowl where the pee will flow noiselessly down the side and into the water, not directly into the water, itself. |
LOL. I do the same.
Also, when I need to eat something just with my bare hands, I always touch the food with my left hand even though I'm naturally right-handed. I think this has roots in my childhood when I realized I do most things with my right hand (like pushing buttons in elevator), so there's bigger chance it will get dirtier than the left hand. Then I decided I'd use only my left thumb and my left ring-finger to touch food.
I think I'm less panic about it now but it's still somewhere deep in my subconsciousness. |

Hmm, well...
I can't stand sleeping without a fan on.
I hate using any web browser other than my own highly-tweaked IE6, and am therefore stuck with it despite its obvious flaws.
I am very averse to stores that are remotely crowded, such that I do almost all my (admittedly very limited) shopping online, the only exception being groceries which I always get between 2 and 5 A.M.
I refuse to buy new running shoes because I am strangely obsessed with seeing just how long my current (now 6 years old) ones will remain "functional."
I am terrible about fixing clocks after a power outage or time change; instead I usually make a mental note of how much each clock is off by, and then simply calculate the actual time by adjusting the displayed time by the appropriate amount. It seems that on some level I find that "less inconvenient" than taking the time to actually set the clock properly.
What other people call "decor" I call "annoying clutter." Consequently, my house has extremely sparse decor. And, for that matter, my office has no decor whatsoever. |

The TV has to be on when i go to sleep.
I fall asleep the same exact way every night, on my stomach, right leg straight left leg 45 degree angle, left arm straight right arm 45 degree angle under my pillow.
I have to be on the right, of everything. Walking next to someone, rollercoasters, how we have our room set up, all my s on the right. Something has to be to my right or i feel extremely uncomfortable.
My dvds have to be facing the same way.
I shower the same exact way every day since i could remember.
I HAVE to be on time. when i have to be somewhere at a certain time im way early. I know im going to be early as but i have to get there ASAP. I drive my friend to work everyday and whenever we have to go somewhere he bitches at me cause i make him rush. If im late for anything and your in my way, may the lord be with you.:wtf:
I have to know where im going. I get extreme anxiety if im lost. Google map everything. I hate this because if i want to go somewhere and i dont know how to get there i get discouraged and say it.
I cant rely on anyone. This makes my job so hard cause im the supervisor of the shop and i constantly bother my guys to see if they are doing the job right, but that's good, right? No. I usually tell them to step off and i finish it so I know it gets done right, i cant help it. Makes for long nights, since i do everything.
When i sit down at my computer i put my headphones on automatically and im not even listening to any music. I just noticed this. ing weird.
Oh yeah, I cant ing stand pictures of chicks that kiss into the camera. I find it so unattractive and stupid. As soon as i see one i close the browser and scream "THAT ING WHORE, GOD DAMN IT AHHH". It enrages me.:whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: |

| Another one: Any time I eat cereal, if I go back for a second helping in the same bowl I absolutely have to be able to pour even just a splash of milk over the fresh cereal. If there's no more milk, I won't eat anymore - regardless of how hungry I am or how much milk is left in my cereal bowl. |

This is crazy because I sleep the exact same way lol.
I do about half of all the things previously mentioned in this thread :wtf: Anyway here's some more stuff
-All silverware must be to the left of my plate at ALL times.
-Any clickable pens around that are clicked I must unclick.
-At the gym I triple-check that the weights are fully in all the way on a barbell and that my hands are exactly in the right spot before liftoff.
-All my cards must be in an exact order in my wallet or I will flip .
-Cellphone must be in my front left pocket. Keys must be in my front right pocket. Wallet must be in my rear left pocket or again I will go crazy.
-I move away from the mic to breathe in. |

i always place a noise-dampening net of toilet paper in the bowl first when using an unfamiliar bathroom
i never shut my car off when the current track playing in my stereo hasn't finished a phrase
the number 314 haunts me. it's a long story, but a friend once told me and my girlfriend that 314 (and its derivatives, 3:14, 31.4, 3.14, etc) haunted him and that he noticed bad things happened to him whenever he noticed it. now I notice it everywhere I go and it seems to be a bad omen. probably the worst thing that's happened immediately after i see 314 is i got in a motorcycle accident
there's probably a lot. i'm kind of a case |
I believe the number has become a part of your reality because you put so much thought into it. Try not to focus on it too much and it will slowly fade away.
Reminds me of the movie "Number 23." |
