smorg

As anyone who knows me also knows, I am a little bit crazy. Just a tad OCD. not about anything cool, like counting cards or extreme cleanliness, but with stupid shit like locking doors and checking my silverware for food at a restaurant or arranging stuff on my desk (not in order, but symmetrically) or not returning a phone call (see earlier post alluding to hatred of phone calls).

So the other night I was lying in bed, wondering if the back door was locked (the alarm system doesn’t sate the crazy). I tossed and turned for a good half hour as I tried to convince myself to NOT get up and check.

Finally I made myself a deal: I would go check, and if the door was unlocked, all was good. But if the door WAS locked and I had gotten up for nothing, I was going to punch myself in the side of the head, Fight Club style.

The door was locked. But I didn’t punch myself, mostly because I was afraid I would somehow cause undue damage that would end up causing me discomfort or money.

Regardless, I have decided to come up with smaller, more accessible punishments for myself when I decide to be crazy. In fact, if I don’t have solutions by the end of the week I am going to punch myself in the head.

Maybe.
