OCDs

I would like to assume i have certain types of OCDs ( certainly not a pathological condition or something to be medically addressed i'm sure, but these habits are more like things which if ignored would only irritate and flood me with anxiety in the end). You know, those OCDs like coloring the closed spaces(inside alphabets) in a text, checking the locks and gas regulator(and other knobs) again and again, checking and rechecking addresses in letters, rechecking forms that i just filled up, rechecking phone number while getting my account recharged, checking account information in a bank voucher again and again, constantly being bothered by footballing superstitions (like the team i support would lose, if i forgot to put the jersey on or talked to some specific people before the game). I am also particularly aware of the OCDs which involve symmetry and orderliness. The most common examples might be making all cans face the same side(normally the front), separating different colored objects, toys and arranging them accordingly, always keeping some particular belongings( a guitar pick, or a coffee mug, or a particular piece of cloth) at fixed places, maintaining equal length of laces in shoes or hoodies, correcting typos over and over again, always sleeping on the particular side of the bed facing a particular direction, always eating in the same plate( finding it difficult otherwise), having a particular order of adding ingredients while preparing something and so on, and not to forget, the gravely infamous INCORRECT GRAMMAR OCD.

The motive behind writing this particular piece is also to settle one of those anxiety causing OCDs. This one in particular is related to the obsession with completing incomplete geometry, or filling voids, etc. I recently switched to "Dynamic views" for my blog where the articles are arranged in boxes, in a defined regular pattern. This particular view arranges articles in a row of ten. I just noticed that i had published 29 articles so that the last box of the third row was incomplete. However crazy it may sound, this particular writing is entirely indebted to the OCD that one missing box caused. That is the whole point of writing this "rhetoric", if you like.
Something to ponder upon really!
An entire essay rooted on the mere incompleteness of my blog's display.
That's interesting!
I am glad that the obsession was really helpful, and it caused something to be created, albeit making it ironical!
And now suddenly the entire idea sounds a bit creepy!
Whatever!




P.S.

By the way, what's with this strange urge to use emoticons in my essay? I wanted to swear(at some point) as well. But both of them would be inappropriate for my blog (referring to it's type), i would like to think!

And what is that like?
Another OCD ??
