I don't think I have proper OCD or anything, but I have a bunch of weird habits.

I'm constantly cleaning my nails (they always seem to be dirty)

I'm almost always scratching my hands with my nails, to the point that it hurts but doesn't cut.

I used to always think there'd be some psychopath in the big cupboard in the toilet, so now whenever I go to the toilet I check around for hiding places.

I check my shoes, socks, bed and wherever I'm stepping (if I'm barefoot and it's dark) for spiders. The rest of the time I'm avoiding ants.

I used to always walk with my eyes to the ground avoiding cracks, which was hard when I was walking on bricks. It wasn't that bad if the middle of my shoe went over a crack because it wasn't touching the ground.

I pretty much do the same thing every night, so I hate staying out because I can't keep with my habit. I'll go to great lengths to get home when I go out, just so I can do all my usual stuff.

My hair's forming dread locks, and I'm always rubbing and twisting and pulling at them. I always have to move, jiggle my knee or something.

I use firefox, and if you highlight some words then click and drag them, you can move what you've highlighted around. If what you've highlighted is too big, it goes all faded. I am nonstop clicking and dragging stuff, trying to find the biggest thing I can highlight without it fading, and finding weird new things I can highlight and drag.

A post before me described it well, I wasn't going to post this because I keep thinking I'll miss something, but eh. That's most of them I think.

i'm not diagnosed, or anything, but i have a few things that are hella weird.

i can't be near colours that aren't in a rainbow order.
i have to have equal amounts of bracelets on each wrist.
i had this drawing of john lennon that was on its side, wich kinda bothered me, but then my friend but it right side up, and that made it worse and i had to fix it.
i will paint over something over and over again, to make it right, then i have to paint over the rest of the painting to make it equal.
and threes.
everything has to be in threes.
or dividable by three.
i like 27 a lot.
[cough... kurt cobain, jimi hendrix, jim morrison...]
yeah.
i wake up at three every morning.
lots of threes...
i don't know how to explain it.
but threes.

and gum, i have to chew gum.
and i have to be doing something with my hands.
drawing, making bracelets, i don't even care.
and if i dont have gum and i cant draw, i bite my nails,
its a happy medium.
cant function in room without a fan blowing or air circulating.
and i need music, or a constant beat, so i have something to fiddle my hands in beat with.
and a lotttttt of other shit.

bizzykizzy

but those three are like the most influential people in my life as far as where i am as an artist.

I'm not a huge Stones fan either, but if you're going to smoke a cigarette it really ought to be something by them. Something like Jumpin' Jack Flash maybe?

I should be hanged for this but I've hardly heard any of the Beatles.

bizzykizzy

smoke a cigarette?
i'll pass, dig weed, my man.


i am far more into the beatles than i was like, 4 months ago, i just got my first record by them, so i listen to them everyday, i wake up to the sound of music, mother mary comes to me...


i just super over idolize john and george, i'm like in love with them...
john's my heart and george is my soul.

and kurt cobain's my mind.
isn't that lovely?

If it's going to be spliff it needs to be mellow. I'd stick with reggae or some tripped out Floyd, or of course Jimi.

Yes, very lovely. I dig what you say about Cobain, I had a good year of listening to nothing but Nirvana, and completely idolizing him. I still love their music, but not in the same disturbing way.

Alright, what's a Beatles album you'd recommend? It's about time I actually heard some of their stuff.

bizzykizzy

well, i'd say white album, cuz it's sooooo dynamic and intense, and it's just, yeah, there it it.

or revolver, which is amazing, just amazing, or the standard, sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band, which is the one i have.

(you just can't buy a vintage white album, they're like 300 dollars in a lot of places.)

Chilled. I'll be looking into them.

bizzykizzy

and um, thenewno2, i just have to vouch for them at all times, they're laid back, if you dig it.

(george's son, my favourite beatle baby.)

definite spliff music.
