Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Isn't So Bad..
The OCD in me, jumps out!



Last night, pretty late into the evening, I had a craving for chocolate. Now, I am not typically someone who likes chocolate that often. As a kid, it was life and as an adult - not so much.
I've been told on numerous occasions that I had Obessive Compulsive tendencies. I brushed these ideations off, knowing very well that the way I went about certain things didn't compare to someone who actually has been diagnosed with OCD. (This is me being naive.) I mean, doesn't EVERYONE have their own way of going about things?! It's like personal space. In YOUR personal space everything is right and perfect in the world. As soon as someone invades, it's all messed up and in some instances feel the need to shove someone OUT of your personal space. My tendencies are just like that...
For example : M&M's.
Mars created a wonderful little less-than-bite-sized candy perfect for any chocolate lover. I have relatively nostalgic ties to this candy and have since deemed it my favorite.
As I sat here at my desk, bored out of my mind, contemplating the feeding of my chocolate craving I was talking to my boyfriend, Maurice. Once on the phone with him, it hit. I had to have chocolate!
My sister and I went *hunting* for chocolate in the kitchen and after passing Reese's (yuck!) and a mint 3Musketeers, we found a shoebox with mini packets of M&M's. JACKPOT!!!
Six packages were there and my sister and I split them.
So here I was, on the phone with Maurice and I decided to explain to him how I eat M&M's. The "process" involved with eating this delicious candy.
Now, here it is in ~blog~ form:
1. Empty all contents of the M&M packages.
2. Sort all M&M's by color. (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown)
3. In the smallest color pile, count the amount of M&M's.
4. Pull out all of the "extra" M&M's from every color pile.
5. Seperate and arrange those into straight color piles.
6. Repeat Steps 3-5 until there is a "triangle or food pyramid style" with M&M's
7. Flip over ALL M&M's so the "m" is facing up and then straighten.
8. Proceed to eat from 1 M&M per color pule starting with the color piles at the top of the pyramid.
9. Enjoy.
10. Save one full color pile consisting of 1 Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue for someone else of your choosing. Share the love!
Ok, so as I see the steps I realize how neurotic I am. Maybe I do have OCD?!
