OCD

I recently discovered just how OCD I am
I mean, I like books organized
By Author and Title, or by Series

Who doesn't do this?

I like my DVDs in alphabetical order
My games too


I search recipe websites
Scouring the internet on how to make things "homemade"

But recently, my OCD has gone to a new level

I play farmville on Facebook.
I tried really hard to make my farm look natural
But I failed

I complained to my mom
It would look more natural if I could rotate the animals

I like my ducks sitting near water
Cows near the hay

All the same species trees together

But it annoys me I can't rotate the animals.

I count each plot of land as I plow, plant, or harvest it.
I have 100 exactly.

It wasn't intentional (consciously, anyway)
But not surprising, I don't like odd numbers

I wrote this blog while waiting for my crops to grow
You see my strawberries are only 67% done

Sweet Summer Sun

Glorious day!
Our pool is open finally at our apartment complex!

It opened Friday July 3
No one said anything

It's been dead every day
No one knows it's open, see

I'm not about to tell them
Been soaking up sun
Treading water
Trying to swim


Our pool is 9 ft deep
I can barely touch bottom at 5
I need to do laps
Learn to hold my breath better

We have one guy who comes every day
His skin is so tan it's like leather
He sits in the lounge chairs and reads
And drinks something from his bag
It's labeled "Capt Morgan Parrot Bay"
Lol

Then he leaves.

We have life guards too
bunch of skinny 16 year olds.
They think they will just be saving kids
What will they do when they need to pull my fat ass out of the water?

LOL

(Wo)Man vs Wild

When I was growing up, Mom gave me this advice:

"If you get lost, hug a tree and scream"

I've been watching Man vs Wild, and my mom asked why.

"So I can survive if I get lost," I said.

She laughed, "I'd be hugging a tree and screaming, and you'd be building a signal fire!"

It's kinda gross watching Bear Grylls eat grubs, spiders, scorpions, and various other things... but then I compare it to the people who got lost in the Andes and ate their own friends and family to survive.

Then, its not so bad. Yeah, I probably wouldn't like to eat a spider whole... but I know it's more tolerable than eating someone's brain.

I find it all fascinating, but I'd likely get stuck in the middle of nowhere because of traveling, with out any supplies. Like a parachute, knife, flint, or anything else useful.

In the end, I'd be hugging a tree and screaming too.
