Mulholland Drive

On some news sites I often find articles that also come with a time in minutes, giving you a rough idea how long it will take for you to read it.

As a consequence I find myself under pressure to read and fully digest the article within the quoted time!

Totally daft on my part of course
 

_basic_

Ooo some of these are good!
I have a weird noise sensory thing. So for example I can’t stand noises at a certain frequency like a car running outside, or things like when you don’t tighten the pop bottle and it makes a weird ongoing squeaking noise (my hearing isn’t the best but I can hear this from the next room). Hearing TVs or people talking in the next room makes me freak out. Some noises trigger absolute anger in me. But noises like the microwave whirring, tumble dryer going etc are fine. My volume level has to be in multiples of 5. Everything must be in order before I leave the house, towels folded, toilets clean and flushed, blinds and curtains set, couch and cushions plumped etc.
I only use bleach to clean my toilets I can’t touch it, if it gets on my hands I bork
I often look at stuff that scares or weirds me out, like google earth over sea world or the sea in general (the blue hole freaks me out) huge waterfalls etc.

I have to do a spider check every night before I go in bed eg look behind the bed, and chest of drawers to see if there are any spiders lurking.

I can't bear the thought of leaving a single word on its own line, like it'll become lonely. Each sentence must have a word friend next to it before the full stop. This has plagued me since childhood

I sincerely hope someone else does this so that I'm not a total freak.

Sometimes I feel sad for things that aren't real things and have no feelings. I've been known to keep hold of tissues all day cause I feel sad throwing them away. It's snowing today and I picked up a lump of snow on my walk back from work but then I couldn't drop it outside of my house cause I got sad that I'd hurt its feelings. I had to keep telling myself that it's a bit of snow and has no feelings!! It happens all the time!

i cry over anything animal related
recently i saw a car slowly driving down a neighbourhood street and a dog running behind it, it made me think what if the owner is inside and the dog is running after him instead of the owner taking him on a nice walk, and just because of thinking this might be true i cried for half an hour
i usually don't cry over anything and am not emotional at all, but animals just get to me

I can't wear flip flops or any type of sandal where there's a bit that goes between the first and second toes. That feeling of that horrible bit being there goes right through me and makes me feel strange.

Also I just can't walk in them I can't understand how some people seem to live in them!

If I’m ill and need to stay in bed, I get up, shower, clean pyjamas, tidy the bed and room and then get back into bed, even if it all kills me. It ‘soothes’ being ill, ha!

So many of my "quirks" have already been mentioned
When I hang my washing out, I like to match the colour of the peg with the clothes (VERY satisfying when they are the exact same colour) Also jeans need to be hung leg down, not pegs on the waistband)

If the duvet is tucked in, I have to pull it straight out.

Check the doors at night, not just before bed but throughout the evening when I'm passing. Check taps are off, plugs turned off and that fridge/freezer are shut properly before bed.

I HATE opening crisps upside down. If I ever accidently do it, I dont even like to eat them (I've given them to my partner before)

I always have to have a drink with a meal and watch something while I eat (antisocial I know)

If you open crisps upside down you’ve killed an angel! Whenever I eat I have to have a tea towel with me.

I get my clothes out for morning the night before - I once went to work without a bra on as it was 6am, dark and I was half asleep. I put knickers/bra over the coat hanger of my top/bottoms so I don’t have to faff around in the drawer

My husband does this! He gets in at 6pm and doesn’t speak to me at all until he’s laid his clothes out for the next day he can’t relax otherwise and his coffee cup etc

He now has a Ikea mirror with hooks and a rail on the back in the spare room especially for his next day clothes

I'm currently living with my parents for a few more days, and typical of me I had to interfere with some of their furniture tidying. Specifically, they have shelves of books and paperbacks - all of them just pushed in any old way, with a lot of them on their sides, or standing vertically but upside down.

So I had to interfere and spent a good 15 minutes putting them all standing up, with the text on the spine all pointing in the same direction.

When my dad returned and saw what I had done he wasn't best pleased, and told me not to interfere again because he felt he knew where everything was in his world of disorganized book stacking.

That was a week ago, and his bookshelves are starting to look untidy again, and I am so "itching" to put it right again, but daren't

I eat desserts with a tea spoon. Maybe it’s psychological that it will last longer

I take great pleasure in secretly getting my boyfriend to eat food he says he doesn’t like

E.g. celery - finely chopped in with carrots and onion as a base for bolognese etc
Mustard - stirred into a white sauce
Cucumber - grated into yoghurt for a raita
Says he doesn’t like liver but will eat pâté all day long

I could think of more

Omg my husband claims he doesn’t like pork, made pork burritos and he asked what the meat was so I said mince. He assumed mince beef, I didn’t correct him, did he notice? No!

My boyfriend is the same he’ll just make a sweeping statement like ‘I don’t like fish’ but then he eats fish and chips and cans of tuna?! In fairness he has improved a lot since we’ve been together as he did honestly used to have the palate of a 4 year old a lot of the time when we are on holiday and he doesn’t know what stuff is I have to say ‘trust me, you’ll like it’ about a certain dish in a restaurant then he’ll fall in love with it and we have to go back a million times so he can have it again
