Yesterday I was talking to my mom trying to figure out what I should do for my birthday this year- considering it is a big year that only happens once a lifetime. (10-10-10) So I started to plan my next 5 years of my life all based on my birthday, we won't get into detail as to what these plans are but I picked out a few dates and letters...all in order. Does this make me OCD or quirky? My mother said quirky, but I think it is a bit OCD as everyone knows I need things neat and organized and also I need an order to everything. So picking a few important dates out.. 10-10-10, 9-10-11, and the letters EFG. I will only say that the letters EFG are actually initials-but that is all I will say. I don't think it is a big surprise I ended up in the position I am at my company-my entire day is spent organizing a schedule and making sure everything is in order.
I also make sure all of my winter accessories are coordinated, white jacket, black scarf and mittens. Blue jacket, white scarf, blue and white gloves...I could go on forever. Normally I just think of this as being fashionable or accessorized, but after this morning I realized I really do have some sort of "quirky" thing about me. My company is having a big event tonight so I got a bit more dressed up than I normally do, did my hair, make-up, the whole nine. And then I picked out my outfit....which matches the colors in the brand of the company we are doing the event for. I am sure no one else will notice that I have matched but I couldn't help myself. So....quirky? or just plain weird?
My friend went to a therapist once to ask about some very similar mannerisms. He told her, "these aren't OCD-isms, just some unique quirks." So I'm going with quirks. Until your hands are raw from unnecessarily washing your hands, I think you're fine :-)
