Since the vacation thing was mentioned, I just remembered something.

I had this MASSIVE suitcase when I went to California last week, and everytime it was stood up, my clothes got all moved around. I think I organized the clothes in my suitcase about 50 times. It was VERY ANNOYING.

Oh yeah, the music on my iTunes. It all has to have the correct name and band, the album title and genre, with perfect capitalization. I hate when people have the name in caps or something and spelled wrong. I cannot tell you how many times I've changed my friends iTunes around when they're not looking

Also, the pictures on the computer. You know when you put a picture in paint, and if the picture is smaller than the white space around it, and you save it and paste it somewhere and the white space shows up too? THAT annoys me. I never do that, but I have to fix it if anyone else does it. Did anyone understand that? LOL

EDIT: I just cought myself doing something. I have AOL, and when I have more than 1 IM going, they both have to be directly next to each other and perfectly aligned and NOT overlapping.

I'm done, I'm probably starting to annoy you guys.

Another one of mine--There cannot be a single dirty dish or utensil in the sink. I've mastered arranging large amounts of dishes in the dishwasher and still get cleaned.

So, if theres a dish that needs to soak for a little while, it noids me out.

Pretty simple.

But I have to say, it seems like this whole thing takes up a lot of time.

My place is clean, but it's totally cluttered. I HATE to clean. But compared to everyone here, I feel like a slob.

God, me too. And you're probably way cleaner than me.
NEVERTHELESS! My jewelry is always fab!

honestly, I can't imagine myself spending so much time on that. I mean, I wish I would, but I know I won't.

Fits and Starts, like I said.

I was just raised that way. My mother (and my French grandmother) always told me that I was born with two hands so that I could clean up after myself.

It's because of them that I will never in my life hire a housekeeper, I'd be so embarrassed and ashamed of not cleaning up after myself when I have two perfectly capable hands to do it with.

I bet you're not. Really.

I may be cluttered, but I know where everything is.

Possibly the most quotable movie of all time.

^Yes, YES!

It totally is that kind of movie, too.

Oh. yeah. I guess just the same as "I was raised that way".
Sadly, I didn't inherit my mothers super art talent, mainly the messiness.

Do you think cleaning is very important? But then, you sound like the kind of person who needs things very hygenic.
ha, sorry to be dorky, but I really don't get it.

I appreciate that your mom and stuff taught you to be that way, though. I mean, I had all kinds of chores and stuff, I was the house packhorse, but...it really was never an important thing in my house. quite the opposite. My mom told me..."I didn't make you start doing dishes earlier, because I always hated doing dishes when I was young" (I started around age 10).
Edit - sorry to interrupt your movie talk, I was behind.

I know, I love it. Bless Faye Dunaway for doing it.

"QUITTER!"

My mom cleaned every day. She always made me do the chores she hated - cleaning the blinds, sorting clothes, etc. Maybe that's what turned me off.
