Am I weird?

Wow. I scored a 0 on that quiz. Seriously.
But I guess that's expected, considered I'm ADD as all get-out. I swear, I'm the anti-OCD. :lol-sign: I'm constantly losing and misplacing everything. Keys, books, shoes, wallet, cell phone, TV remotes, and more. It's not that my house is dirty or cluttered, I'm just that bad about keeping track of items. It's rather embarassing.
Once I managed to misplace an entire head of cabbage while cooking. Seriously! One moment it was in my hand, and the next moment it was gone. Dinner was delayed while I hunted up and down the kitchen for the wayward vegetable.
So I guess that's my weird trait.

I think the thing to keep in mind is that we all have our own quirks but when it becomes something like "If I don't have a straw I cannot drink a drink" and you physically cannot make yourself do it--then I think I would be looking to seek some help.
I have some of the traits on the quiz such as getting into counting issues (like counting to see how many seconds the light will turn green in or whatever) and I only tend to do it when nervous--but I can recognize it and make is stop if I force myself most of the time.
I like to eat all of my food with a knife and my husband eats with a fork only--but I don't have a problem doing that I just prefer to have a knife while eating--if I had to have a knife or not eat--I would think I had a real problem!

I don't answer the phone and never phone anyone unless I really have too.
I still at 19 going on 20 can't sleep in the dark, I just can't relax. Then again I have many issues with going to sleep and it takes me ages.
I don't hug people and hate people touching me, Casey/animals are allowed in my personal space but not people.
I have to check my bed (lift all the pillows and covers up ect) before I get into it and a zillion more times before I get to sleep because of spiders.

5 here.
When I was a kid, I was washing my hands a lot, but it wasn't for gems, but for smells. I have a very good sense of smell, and I just couldn't stand it when my hands were smelling something - mostly food. I got over it, though, but I still have to wash my hands after I eat things with my fingers, or it feels gross. Just wiping them on a napkin won't do!
I do have issues about worrying too much when I know I have things to get done, so I like doing them NOW. It makes my husband crazy, as he's pretty much the ADD kind, and it makes me crazy that he is. We have moments, sometimes
And I hate being late, but I guess that's linked...
Then I keep checking all the time if my purse is still there (when eating out) and is closed properly, to make sure nothing was stolen. I know I'm totally OCD about that, but again, I was robbed once, and I only noticed because I checked my purse. That, and growing up taking the metro in Paris all the time teaches you to watch for your purse...
That's about it I think...

I didn't know you guys lose things so well, either. I lost a cat tree, a scratching post, a babygate (STILL missing), a wagon, my camera keeps going missing... and it's a big, heavy camera. I always manage to misplace pencils the second I sit down, same with forks, spoons, books.
Before I leave the house to go out (if I'm leaving to go shopping or something or on a LONG walk where I know I won't be home soon) if Chili is in her cat tree I always have to grab her cute little face and give her a smooch on the forehead before I leave. No, I don't know why. But luckily she doesn't mind..
The blinds MUST be closed ALL THE WAY. No one inch gap at the bottom or bullcrap like that, all the fing way. What is the point of having blinds if someone can still see in. Or open ALL THE WAY. If I'm going to see outside, I want to see it all.
Pictures must be hanged straight--I will straighten them at other people's houses, as well.
meh.. I'm done for now, but I can go on. I also do the towel-thing, Coop.
