SlavesNotToys -> RE: What "ocd" habits do you have? (7/5/2011 7:32:32 AM)

My OCD habits. Well, for one thing, if someone asks, I have an urge to answer. Even if it is a question on a subject I am not interested in, I have no knowledge of, and, it's being asked by someone and to someone I do not know. This goes along, somehow, with this terrible rampant honesty that keeps pouring out of me at the most inopportune moments.
Even when I was young, and, we'd get stopped by the police for being out late, or whatever the police were stopping us for (being young, I believe), and, they'd ask me why we were ... (doing whatever it was they were pretending was illegal that day, or, on rare occasions, actually was illegal that day) I would reply "Well, if I was going to lie, and, I assure you I am ..." and then I could tell them a lie, that would make them happy to leave us alone. All they wanted was the lie, all my friends wanted was the lie, but, even upon risk of arrest, I couldn't just lie, unless everyone knew it was a story.
Also, when I was in a business class, my teacher returned some papers to me, telling me that I had done a marvelous job on the work, but, that she had to give me a slightly lower grade than I otherwise deserved, and, next time she would give me an F. Why? She seemed to think employers prefer their letters and such without doodles all down the sides and backs of them.
The doodling isn't all bad, though. I once was offered a job as an art director, $26 per hour, at a t-shirt shop, when all I had to show them by way of portfolio was a doodle that I had just drawn as we were out, driving around, looking for places to apply for work. Unfortunately, due to severe bitchiness at home, I had to move and couldn't take it, but, you know ..sometimes OCD works wonders for you.
