Devoted to my issues

marguerite_kruxCan I just say how happy I am that my watch has finally been fixed? I had major issues while it was out of action for the past month or so, the anxiety built up so much when I had to open my bag...dig out my phone...slip it out of the case in order to check the time. I'm always running for my bus and it helps to be able to glance at my wrist and reassure myself I still have time to catch it, you know? Not having that option made me so jittery, ack.

Overheard on the bus today: 'Dint is not a word! No such thing, I was like, 'it's dent', don't be silly'. *headdeskwallfloor*
It took all my powers of self-restraint not to butt in and correct her. Serious will-power, yo. I'm the girl that still beats herself up for claiming 'esteems' was not a word during a Scrabble adjudication- this was LAST YEAR and it haunts me still. Damn girl on the bus. I'm going to be mentally screeching at her, 'DINT IS SO A WORD' for the rest of the day. :s

Do you guys have odd little rituals? You know, things that aren't really important but you have to do them a certain way otherwise it's upsetting? Like, I have a packet of pills- ten pills arranged in two rows of two and three at the opposite ends of the 'sheet'.
At first I took one pill a day, so that was fine, I didn't need any particular order or such. But when I moved onto twice daily, I had problems. It really bothered me having to leave one pill on its own in that row of three, then popping it and moving onto one pill from the other side. Just seemed messy. So now whenever I start on a new lot, I take one pill from the row of three on either end and then that leaves me with nice rows of two to go on with.
Yes, I'm a little crazy, what of it? I also have a place-mat I'm fixated on, I will literally refuse to eat at the dining table if I can't have that place-mat. Fortunately my parents humor me when I yoink it out from under their plates if they're using it when I come to the table. For all our difficulties, they do indulge my idiosyncrasies.

sunkrux?
1. Go to urbandictionary.com
2. search for your first name
3. paste the results
The good.
1. greek name: (meaning) gorgeous, kindhearted, rebellious, gentle towards others.
The dog was walked by an Annie that gave him delicious treats.
2. An exclamation of beauty and wonder.
check out Maddie, she's a real Annie.
The hilarious.
3. Someone who makes their shopping lists in the order of the supermarket layout.
Annie knows the pears are next to the apple because it's on her list.
She was in and out of the supermarket in no time, her shopping list was made by an Annie!
[How seriously random is that? I like lists, but I'd've never thought of ordering it like this]
And the WTF.
4. A heat parasite; one who steals heat from men; can only be defeated by a spin move
5. A derogatory term for a baseball groupie looking to score big and either land a ballplayer for a hubby or cause the baseball player to have marital problems. Might conveniently forget to use birth control. They get better looking the higher the level of baseball. See baseball Annie.
That Annie nailed that baseball star and then sent pics of it to his wife and to the newspaper, and now she's asking for child support.
6. Pentagon!
You pulled an Annie by making out with five guys or other doing other things with them in the same night!
Bonus vid spam:
I've seen tons of fanvids but this is the first one I've come across that's made about the fans, what a sweet idea!

Date: 2009-04-28 06:08 am (UTC)Yeahhh, the pills...*headdesk* I know, it's crazy, but it's just something I do, lol. It really makes no sense, save the brain cells for something more important!

Date: 2009-04-27 10:59 am (UTC)You know when people doesn't pronounce the words right, whether it is in French or in English (except for my Dad, with is totally normal /he is Québecois/ that he can't pronounce the words properly in English), I have the urge to correct the word by repeating it to the person.
It's mainly my little sister, and she gets annoyed when I do that:P
I do have some little rituals, but I would have to think about that...I'm not wake enough to think about that right now...:P
The vid is cute, and It dosen't just apply to the X-Files but to every fandom in general. That's what I like to think!

*high-fives* I correct my father all the time. He grew up in Fiji, so he pronounces things with a different emphasis sometimes, drives him nuts when I bring it up, lol. >:D We are so bad for tormenting our family like this...
I do have some little rituals, but I would have to think about that...
Aha! I believe that everyone on my flist is weird in some way, we wouldn't click otherwise. :P

Date: 2009-04-27 10:57 pm (UTC)But the fact that she was claiming that there was no such word as 'dint' when I know perfectly well that there is, like, 'by dint of' something...ARGH. *tears out hair* I've been obsessing over using that phrase in a fic I'm struggling with, so it was fresh in my mind when she made that asinine comment.

Date: 2009-04-27 11:48 pm (UTC)I just feel so bad that now there's another person out there who has been led down the path of epic fail by this idiot. If I were more assertive, I would've totally been a 'stickybeak' [lol, Australian slang, it kills me] and busted in on the convo to correct her.
I TOTALLY get where you're coming from on the pill thing. That would bug me too.
*clings to you* Oh, good, so I'm not totally nuts about the pills? I have this thing with numbers sometimes, I need things to be in a certain order or in a particular grouping and it will haunt me at night if I can't find a way to make it fit that pattern.

Date: 2009-04-28 12:16 am (UTC)hearread the word more often from them than I do in everyday life, lol.Secondly, 'stickybeak'- a person who's really nosy and curious about other people's business, like, 'oh, you're such a stickybeak, go away, this is a private conversation'. I'm usually not a fan of the local slang [words like 'crikey' make me want to pound my head against a wall] but I like the imagery here. It makes me think of like, a hummingbird or something, flitting around from person to person, trying to figure out what's going on, lol.
Thirdly- HA, a comm for obsessives? *squishes* Coolness!

Date: 2009-04-28 05:59 am (UTC)I don't have any pre-bed rituals though, I mean, I like reading before I sleep, but it's not an OCD thing. I've never gotten to the sweating stage though. *frowns* That definitely sounds more than mild.
The list-making thing is so one of my traits, too. I save notes on my phone's calendar for what I need to do for practically every day of the week. I love technology!

Date: 2009-04-29 04:58 am (UTC)Hahaha! My mom does this! Produce at the top of the list because the produce section is in the far left of the grocery store, and meat at the bottom of the list because the meat section is in the far right. I'll tell her her name should have been Annie, hehe.

Date: 2009-04-29 11:29 pm (UTC)Of course, I don't do the shopping for the whole family, the only aisle I visit is the confectionery aisle...oh, and the soft drink aisle, too, lol, can't forget my coke addiction. :D
