Something noble … but easy.

I was reading someone’s blog earlier (sorry I can’t remember which one) and they were talking about things they are neurotic about.  I decided that would be a fun and easy post to write since I’m neurotic about SO MANY things.

So enjoy :-)

  • I hate when my food touches any of the other food on my plate.  I’ve mastered the art of getting entire platefuls of food in a buffet and not having any of them touch each other
  • I hate circles.  Seriously.  I don’t like them.  I fully admit it’s a weird thing to hate…but I just don’t like them.  If I have a choice between a circular table or a square/rectangular table…I will avoid the circular table at all costs.  My plates are squared.  I only use the square shaped glasses at my parents’ house.  It’s weird.  I know.
  • As much as I hate circles…I love polka dot designed things.  Explain that one.
  • I don’t eat the butt of a fry.  I always bite my fries right before where I’m holding it on the one end and leave that end on my plate.  I won’t eat it.  After a meal, my plate is full of fry butts.  I’m not even sure why I do this.
  • I only eat the outside breading part of onion rings.  I literally peel the onions out from inside and only eat the outside.  It’s the best part. 
  • I eat my reese’s peanut butter cups from the outside in.  I scrape all the chocolate off first and then eat the peanut butter last.
  • I apparently have a lot of weird things with food.
  • My desk at work has to be SPOTLESS or I get this restless urge to organize and can’t get work done until it’s clean.  My home…not so much.  I’m one of the messiest people I know. 
  • I won’t get in my car until I verify there’s no crazy slashers hiding either under my car (waiting to slice my achiles heel) or in my back seat (waiting to cut my head off).  I do this pretty much at any time of day.
  • I hate going to the bathroom in the middle night because I’m worried there might be a spider inside it waiting to bite me.  I don’t have this random fear during the day.
  • I have a routine that I follow exactly every time I put on my running shoes.  They must be put on in a certain order and tightened a specific way.  They feel uncomfortable if I don’t do it right the first time. 

Umm…yeah…that’s just a start.  But maybe I shouldn’t be scaring you away with how weird I am.  So…anyone else have weird quirks like this?
