Compulsions & obsessions

[WiltsAKGirl17]

That I can readily think of:

1.) I have this bizarre thing about getting both of my hands wet. Let;s say I'm doing dishes and I stick my right hand in the water to fish something out (fork, plate, baby 'gator, etc.); if I don't stick my left hand in the water, too, as a token gesture, I feel way off kilter until I do.

2.) Another example-illustration: I have a bag of M&Ms, SweeTarts, Skittles-- any multi-colored candies. When I have a handful of them, I separate them into little groups-- one of each color until the groups get progressively smaller. If I ever have time, I'll edit in an actual color illustration.

3.) If I have pepperoni pizza, I have to pick all the pieces of pepperoni off first before I eat the pizza itself. This I imagine stems from me being little and hating pepperoni and picking it all off to "make" cheese pizza.

I'm weird. Embrace the weirdness.

Guitars, lotso guitars! I collect only the best though! But guitars are my obsession (Frankie is a VERY close second)

Duckman and his "babies."

cigarettes and leather jackets.

Halloweeny knick-knacks (especially spider-related but not necessarily). Bought yet *another* skull tealight holder today. If we only had like, a bar they'd look cool lined up all lit up...but we don't. I never have enough room to display all my Halloweeny stuff come October, and a lot of it just has to stay in storage.

Lol, wonderful picture, Duck!

And as we're on the topic of obsessive collections, I don't have it so much any more, but I use to collect feathers. Every feather I came across I'd take home, no matter how dirty or worn out or ugly it was. Even now days I at least *think* about picking a feather up and taking it home when I see one on the ground. But I've become more disciplined, and only take the really nice ones home now.

Hmm...

Well, to start, I can not touch anything with an oil base to it. (Like grease, veggitable oil, vaselin, lotions, etc) If i do, then I just feel so "dirty".

If I'm in my house, I can't wear shoes. If I have them on, I feel very uncomfortable.

I collect children's books. Why? They inspire me to make my own.

I'm very obsessed with cartoons, so much that I tend to get strong urges to watch animation while in school. (That's why I doodle in class or just imagine things happening to my favorite characters...I know, lame isn't it?)

If something itches, I scratch it until it becomes a scar...I don't do it on purpose, I just can't help it. (And I have very sensitive skin too...)

I have to watch the Nightmare Before Christmas at least once a week. Or else I haven't completed my week.

I wear at least three layers of clothes a day, because my blood tempurature is lower than the average human's. (Not really on subject, but I'm ranting)

I have to draw at least once a day. My squeedly spooch tells me to...

Bump time.

I've been playing the Sims 3 at least seven hours a day, every day, since about a month after it was released (which was, coincidentally, when the first hacks and fixes came out). I don't know if it qualifies as a compulsion or obsession, but I do know that I'm having a seriously good time with it.
