I have two OC ways.

1: I pick at my lip with my teeth when I am typing or I'm nervous.

2: I run my fingers through my hair or just touch it once every minute pretty much.

I have a terrible habit of telling people that nonsense words mean expletives in Polish when they really don't.

It's a horrible, horrible sickness.

If I change the volume on the TV, it has to be on a round number.

EG> If it's on 34, I change it back to 30, no matter how hard to hear it may be.

I alphabetize or otherwise organize things into categories that make sense to me. CD's are in artist order, including soundtracks. This means that Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Hunchback, and Pocahontas are all grouped in with Little Shop of Horrors because Alan Menken wrote the music. Makes my wife crazy. DVDs are by title, except when they involve either a series which I will put in release year order or personal preference. This means that all the James Bond movies are sorted into release year order, and so are the Alfred Hitchcocks...I go crazy when they put two movies on one disc, one from 1926 and another from 1938...I force myself to go with the one on the spine while making a note that one of the films is permanently out of order.

I MUST finish what I'm working on, or complete it to a level at which I have decided to stop. If I don't finish it, it eats at me.

I have a deal with putting other things into orders as well. I found the novel Dracula online and I went through the ENTIRE NOVEL and placed all the entries into chronological order, so Mina's letters and Dr. Seward's diary cross over each other as well as Jonathan Harker's journal from when he was in Transylvania. It's a wil way to read it.

I did watch Memento in reverse order, and found it to be a whole different movie with the most boring first act on record. I am currently capturing the Lord of the Rings to reorder all the scenes into chronological order in Moviemaker as well as planning to capture Kill Bill and do the same thing.

I have to make sure the wheels in my car are straight when I park. I check email incessantly as well as come onto this site endlessly when I should be doing other things.

Quoted from tomson


I check my voice mail a bazillion times/day, and since I started coming here I haven't written anything on FREELANCER (my serious thing) so I'm thinking about leaving. This place is great, but I'm writing this instead of a car chase.




Tomson, you can't leave.  You will never leave.  MUWAHAHAHAHA.


Be excellent to each other

Yeah this is probably the site I visit most every day. There are great people here and it's fun reading their scripts.

Another one:

There is a telephone next to me on my desk. Whenever someone has called, there is always a red light shining above "New Call Line 1" and it bothers me so much that I either have to press the arrow buttons to go through them to make the light turn off, or just remove all the messages at once to make the light come off. I just hate it so much!

I always check to see if the refrigerator door is closed.
I always check to see if I logged out of the computer I use at the computer lab in my school.  Even after I leave the room, I go back and check it.
I always check and double check to see if I have my pack of Ice Breakers mints.

Quoted from tomson
Horror: You join SS, become a chat room whore, decide you have to leave in order to get things done, miss the people washing their hands, fluffing pillows, drumming with their fingers, sharpening pencils, James Bond, Bert, and everyone else and members arguing about nothing. You return and you get locked in a thread where a kid tells you what's right and wrong. You want to scream, but this site has no sound.


You know what? I don't think that one's been done to death yet. Seriously. At the very least, it would make a really interesting short, but if it could be fleshed out, that might make a really interesting feature. Psychological effects of a forum...

Do you still have this?  I would love to read it like that.
That was a great book.  Heres an interesting tidbit: Both novels "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Dracula" have a charaxter named Lucy who get proposed to three times in one day.  Coincidence?

Of course I still have it. I used it that way in writing Fempiror Movie 4. I'll email it to you.

That's not obsessive. That's organizing. I do that too. Except my TV series are alphabetized on a separate shelf by title. I don't know why I alphabetize my Tape/DVD/CD rack and not my bookshelves. But my CDs are all alphabetized to Last Name, First name if it's an artist's name like Gavin DeGraw or just alphabetized by band name. Then, if I have more than one CD by the same artist, I put them in the order in which they were released. Like my Matchbox Twenty albums. My DVDs and videos are alphabetized by title, even my recorded tapes, depending on what I have recorded on them. It's kind of confusing, because I have more than one show/movie on one tape. Then I alphabetize by what program is recorded first.

Oh, and usually, I don't touch doorknobs if it's at all possible. But if I do, I have to open doors just as the door is closing. Like, if the door is swinging close, I catch the doorknob before it does. I have no idea why.

I have so many little "things" that my girlfriend often tells me I should be committed.

- I have to count the steps anytime I walk up or down the stairs to my apartment.  There are nineteen steps.  There've always been nineteen steps the entire 4+ years I've lived here.  Yet I have to count them each time I go up or down them.

- When I eat, I eat one thing in full at a time.  I don't skip back and forth between sides or entrees.  

- When I'm bored I play drum beats with my teeth.

- I talk to my cat as though he were human.  Sure, lots of people talk to their pets, but...I call mine "son" and regularly hold conversations with him.  

- Not since I was in highschool have I ever had a full night's sleep, straight through.  I wake up about every two to two and a half hours, automatic, then spend about ten minutes falling back asleep.  Yet those two to two and a half hours that I am asleep, it takes a howitzer to wake me up.

- As my long-suffering girlfriend has often pointed out, I worry and fret over the smallest and most inconsequential things -- yet life-altering events, major incidences, injuries, drastic occurences, etc., I hardly bat an eye at.

Just a few and believe me, they are quite literally just the tip of the iceberg.

I tend to eat everything on my plate, and then take a drink. In a restaurant, I will drink 2 or 3 glasses of soda before the meal, drink nothing during the meal, and then drink again after it.

I never noticed I did this until someone pointed it out to me.
