Share them. Things you just feel you Must do, either all the time or on a scheduled basis (the interesting ones... not brushing teeth, etc)

I cut my hair myself shorter and shorter every week, on my own, getting more and more risky in the cuts that I attempt. This most recent turned out quite well, but I'm sure I'll get bored soon and cut it even shorter again. Probably won't turn out as well. But I must. Hopefully my schedule won't allow time for it.

Also since the majority of my life is spent playing vg's, of course they'd fit in here.... anyways I save about ten times when I'm playing. JUUUSTTT in case I forgot. I save constantly, and I heal myself constantly if there is a healer available. I'll often get into battle, take just a little damage, and gain exp. I then go heal myself, even if it's aways away, proceed to save, then repeat the process a good 10 times. I'm very neurotic about losing data... I haven't pinpointed the childhood trauma that causes this yet though.

Yeah sorry for the quality of the thread, usually I'd say I'm pretty interesting... I'm bored to the point I'm boring though. I need something new to do, see, or discuss.

The mohawk is never straight enough...ever...it can take hours

My legos must be dusted daily...

My car is maintained like an aircraft...which is way too much for a Honda...always checking what gear I am in too

Race day means four packs of cigarettes and hair loss over adjusting the timing, tire pressures, oil, fuel maps, exhaust length, harness bar, nitros staging, shift timing...I kill crew members occasionally

Caffeine, technology, morbidly dark music.

I'm a perfectionist, I'll criticize myself and my work at almost any cost. In the case of writing, I'll write thousands of words over the course of years and delete most of them. My blogs from different places have probably totaled enough to make a few novels, and they're all gone.

When I write seriously, I revise endlessly. There can be no mistakes, everything has to make sense unless its not supposed to. A story has to be tight, no loose ends, anything important has a cycle to it. If something isn't good enough it's gone, even if it sounds amazing and I've worked on it for hours, it still has to feel right. :detective:

Hmm. No compulsions. I like boring things, though. I just don't feel that I HAVE to do them. Like anagrams, tweezing, cleaning grout with a toothbrush. I love washing dishes by hand. It's the most satisfying thing (next to 12 hours of sleep, a big pasta dinner and marathon sex, that is).

If I read the comic's in the paper, I must read each one twice. The first time it doesn't even register. It annoys the hell out of me, so I don't read them often.

Um. I do the same thing, even if they suck. I also HAVE to read ALL the print on my box of cereal...and then promptly forget any of what it said.

So I guess I DO in fact have a compulsion. So earlier, I lied.

My ink has to be even. What I mean by that is that if I have something on one ankle, there has to be something on the other ankle.

When I write something by hand, my handwriting must be perfect. I will rewrite things until they look perfectly written.

I have to check to make sure the door is locked at least 2 times before I can leave the house. I have to make sure it is locked before I go to bed.

I check to make sure my alarm is set at least 2 times before I go to sleep at night.

My wedding rings have to be lined up together perfectly at all times.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

      I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.

      You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.

      Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
