It's a sneaky game in the blogger world where your *friends* or fellow bloggers call you out to post about a certain subject. Now I'm it, thanks to Andria, and I've got to spill 5 things about myself that y'all might not know or just quirks in general. Yippee!
1) I have to set the alarm clock to go off at a time that ends with a three or seven. Definitely no zeros or fives. Two, four, six, eight and nine are iffy because I think they are too close to zeros or fives.
2) I don't let the microwave get down to zero and go off if I'm in the room. I think it has something to do with hearing the beep because if I'm not in the room, it's OK.
3) I am quite possibly the world's worst 'history' person. I don't know what happened to who, when and where. I can't seem to keep it all straight. It could have something to do with cheating my way through Mr. Page's US History class... hmmm. I always end up asking David about historical events because he's like a history textbook, which leads me to #4.
4) I have a serious need to prove my intelligence to David. Not that he thinks I am unintelligent but because he is soooo smart. Poor Angie and Scott had to witness this as we played Fact or Crap one night. It was NOT pretty!
5) I absolutely can not leave drawers or cabinets open. Can not. If I notice that someone else has left them open, I'll go close them. It just seems so messy and wrong to me!
(Here I go, going past 5. Who knew I had more than 5 quirks?!)
6) When I take a shower I do everything in the exact same order. Shampoo, wash, rinse shampoo, conditioner, shave, rinse conditioner. I've thought about changing the order, just to say that I don't always do it the same, but I won't. Any other way is inefficient to me.
7) In most situations where numbers are involved I find myself doing unnecessary calculations. For example, if we were to go out to a restaurant where there was a 45 minute wait with six people ahead of us, I would calculate how many minutes should be between each person getting seated. Many times the numbers aren't quite that easy to crunch but I try to do it anyway.
8) I'll eat food that's cold. Not just luke warm, but straight out of the fridge. And not just pizza either. Mashed potatoes, casseroles, mac and cheese. Yum!
I swear that I am not as crazy as I sound! Right?! In an effort to make myself feel better, I am going to spread the goodness and officially tag Marisa, Laura and Karen. Here it is, girls. Hop to it.
Ella displays her own little OCD quirk and puts all of her horses in a line.

Wow. This explains so much. lol
It's unfortunate that on #4 you made an error (wanting to prove your intelligence and all)! You have "a serious need" not "an serious need". Maybe it was a typo? I'm sure you know that "an" is used when the word after it begins with a vowel! You get being efficient honestly! From YA MOTHA!
girl! great list and I can relate to so many of them, so no worries, I think you're prefectly normal. In my nice, normal little world.
I'm intrigued by the 3 and 7 number thing, though. That one's weird. ;)
At work, we turned the sound off on the microwave so we don't hear the beep. It takes a little adjusting to, because you also don't hear the beep as you punch in the numbers, but I like it much better. I think it's a new feature and not all microwaves have an option to turn the sound off, but I might look into it, you might be surprised!
I suck at history, too. No worries there.
You are one of the smartest gals I know (and that's saying something), so I find it amusing and surprising that you feel such a need to validate your intelligence.
I'm with you on closing drawers and doors! And turning off lights! I am always going behind people and turning the lights off.
I thought about my own showering routine and I have it down pat, too. It is about efficiency. I shampoo and rinse and then put my conditioner in and let it stand while I wash or shave so it's in for a longer amount of time. I take quick showers and I don't understand what takes people so long - what do they do?!
I'm impatient at lunch warming things back up and I'll eat stuff before it's an ideal temperature. I don't quite enjoy food straight out of the fridge like you seem to, but I'm lazy. I think that's much worse!
megan - i don't have it down to 3s and 7s, but i can't set my alarm with a 5 or 0 at the end either. also, no numbers can be duplicated (unless the alarm is 11:XX, but that's rare), and no numbers can be in succession, for example: 4:56 and 7:23 are HUGE no-nos. i do not know where in the hell this came from. maybe YOU?? or did i give it to you??
