Nit-Pick
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a bit of a freak.
I was eating an orange the other day in the living room while talking with my family. When I peel and eat an orange I do it with such preciseness that it takes longer than it does for any normal person. First I take off the outer peel and then I proceed to pick and peel all the white off the orange so I can eat it. I hate all that white skin that sticks to the orange after you remove the peel, it has an utterly disgusting taste to it.
While I was nit-picking at my orange my dad looked over at me and said something along the lines of "are you going to eat that or pick it to death?"
I guess I have a lot of things that I do that most people find a bit on the neurotic side. Along with picking my oranges to death I can't suck on lolly pops, it's like that tootsie roll commercial. "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" "One, Two, CRUNCH" that really transcends to all hard candy not just lolly pops. I very nearly break my teeth on every jaw breaker I've ever eaten. There's a lot of other neuroses I seem to have but it would take a long time to list them all.
Ah well, luckily my friends love me even with my crazy neurotic tendencies.

I do the same thing with oranges. I can't stand the bitter white stuff...ewww. Most of the time I don't bother with oranges because I can't stand to get the white stuff under my fingernails and I can't stand not to pick it all off.
Neurotic tendencies... naw!!
You're normal in your own way...? hehe!
Love you!
