Eccentricies

I've taken 3 showers today.  Yes... 3 (three).  I know that makes me weird and slightly OCD, but there's another reason for it other than getting clean.  I do my best thinking in a candlelit shower.  Some people speed through showers, some sing in the shower, some do... well... other things in the shower.  But, not me.  Not weirdo Kelly.  Weidro Kelly thinks in the shower.  And, I've been planning and thinking a lot today, obviously.  Oh!  And sometimes I'll even smoke a cigarette in there, too, just to top it off.

I also feel strongly about odd numbers.  If I'm making myself something to drink and the ice cubes are larger, I ALWAYS put an odd number of ice cubes in the glass.  Volume on the television?  Odd number.  Lotto numbers?  Odd.  Number on the pump I pull up to at the gas station?  Odd.  Number of sugar packets I use in my coffee?  Odd.  Number of examples I've just given (including this one)?  Odd.

I've got this weird thing about cleaning, too.  When I clean, I always start in the kitchen.  Even if it's already clean, I always start there.  And, I have to either leave the water running or have music on.  Something about the noise keeps me motivated, which I need because I hate cleaning.  I always seem to put shoes on when I clean, too.  That one is beyond even my own understanding.

Hmmm... Let's see... Oh!  I have an actual system down for eating M&M's.  First, I sort them into colors.  Then, if each pile doesn't have the same number (odd number, of course), then I eat them one by one until each pile is uniform.  After that's settled, I then eat one from each color until they are all gone and in rainbow order, too.  I love M&M's, but I don't seem to eat them much since my stupid process takes so damn long!

I make lists for everything I can!  Budgets, plans, to do lists for the day, to do lists for a single project, 5 yr plans, 10 yrs plans, grocery lists, etc.  You name it, I can probably make a list for it.  And, it can't be just a skribbled out mess on a piece of paper, either.  I will actually re-write a list if I'm not happy with my handwriting.  Same thing goes for reports or assignments that are hand written.  I've actually re-written a 5 page report because it was in pen and I made a mistake that I had to cross it out.

The worst part?  These are just a few of the MANY eccentricities that plague me every day.  Now, I should be satisfied with what I've writen and leave it at that, but that would mean having an even number of paragraphs. So, just to continue with the weirdness...

Goodnight.

Pansy Ass Parents

Here's the set-up:  You're in the grocery store, slightly aggrevated from a frustrating day at work but not letting it get to you because you have an amazing meal planned.  You've picked out all of your ingredients and made your way up to the registers to check-out when you notice a small child, accompanied by an adult, begging for some form of candy.  The adult is telling the child 'no' repetitively when all of a sudden, the kid SNAPS, throws himself on the floor, and starts screaming, crying and yelling at the adult.  What does the adult do?  The adult starts to plead with the child, talking to them in the least offensive voice possible and explaining to all of the surrounding people that the child is 'sensative' while the damn kid is pulling things off of the shelves and hitting the adult.

Really?  REALLY?  You've got to be KIDDING me!!  Don't try to explain to me why you're a pansy and letting your kid beat your ass.  I'd rather you pick your damn kid up off the floor, plant a swift kick in his ass and be a frickin' PARENT for Christ's sake!  You're letting a two foot tall CHILD control YOU!

These parents these days are so afraid to discipline their kids!  What is that about?!  What are you going to tell your kid when he gets older?  "It's okay, honey... I know that you robbed a liquor store, but I told the nice officer that you're 'sensative,' so he's not going to arrest you."?????  Yeah, that's going to work out really well for ya, lady.  *rolls eyes*  There really should be an application process for people to be able to procreate.  But, then again, maybe I wouldn't have a kid.  LOL
