but i prefer to say "perfectionist" or "particular." even "extremely refined in taste and preference."
probably the things i am most overtly ocd about are:
1) cleanliness. not like from germs - i'm not cloroxing every surface - i just like things to feel and appear clean. i like my bed made. i like dirty clothes in the hamper. i like dog hair vacuumed (ok, dog hair is an ocd chapter unto itself...). i like kitchen counters wiped. i like myself and my husband showered before getting in the bed (much to captain fantastic's unending chagrin).
this is what i think of when sterling shakes and the hair flies...sigh
2) food. i've been a vegetarian for 16 years, mainly because i can't stand gristle and tendons and nasty stuff like that. i also will not eat pudding or yogurt, because gross. my doctor once told me that i have somewhat of an allergy to corn, and that could be to blame for my irritable bowels. and for like 2 years i was a label-reading machine. have you ever tried to cut corn from your diet? nigh impossible. at any rate, thank goodness for cheese sandwiches and luna bars. and don't worry; the foods i am not eating out of pickiness are more than compensated for in chocolate. and carbs.
i feel you, buddy

yikes. dont come to my house. im sooo messy and ocd about nothing. not dirty, just messy. to an extreme. and i married someone just like me. and now we have consolidated our things in a lovely, messy way. future dinner dates to be at your house, never mine!
well, i would clean/ hide the mess for you the first time. then after that, nope. sorry bout it.
I didn't realize we were the same person, I can't STAND going to bed dirty. Noooo way. Michael thinks its insane that I insist on sweeping everyday. Don't like dust underfoot! It's not ocd, it's high standards :-)
Isn't everyone OCD about something(s)??? I'm OCD about the things you mentioned, in addition to others. Hopefully these idiosyncrasies will not make us crazy old ladies later in life.
