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.
