I admit--I'm anal!!

Yes you heard it, but I'm anal...and there's nothing I can do about it; well I could try to cool off and I do, but the thought still comes in my mind.

Case in point: Few weeks ago, next years' roommate moved in, and I served her ice cream..she was leaving and she said I can't finish the ice cream, and I said sure just take the container with the spoon and you can return the spoon later. Anyhow she forgets to gimme the spoon back. I asked her for it, and her response was....oh I have so many spoons; it doesn't matter if we are missing just one of yours. NO, I'm not selfish, not stuck up, but anal..yes you heard it again..I just need the set of 4 for small forks, big forks, small spoons, big spoons, and knife. It looks retarded to have 4,4,4,4, and then one set of 3!! It drives me up the wall..what can I do, but live with it now :( She's lost the darn thing.

So..another case. Was using a red pen in lab. Went out to lunch, came back, and pen is gone..gone away from my desk--out of sight dammit! I know I can get another red pen, they are relatively cheap! It's just that I'm missing the pen :( And I DO have quite a bit of memories with that pen..it got me through all my qualifier studying...now it's gone :(

For all of you out there..before you judge. Anal is not the same as selfish..or cheapooo. I spend like a maniac, and am not selfish at all! I'm just very orderly and need things in order all the time! I guess it gets me in trouble too..as I can't sit still constantly. Oh well...take a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath...ahhh, *hoping pen finds its way back to me* :)
