1, 2, 3, 4

I have mild OCD so I have to do things in fours all the time. I almost never only eat one chip. I eat four. It is a little annoying.

I would respond with something witty, but i'm busy washing my hands - again.

Ask Darwin about him M&M numerology.

I also count to 4 at drinking fountains, and when I exercise. Usually 4 times equalling 16, which makes "a set" that pleases my brain. I also get majorly disturbed when the color of one of our plastic cups doesn't compliment the color of socks, boxers and shirt that I'll be wearing that day. Sometimes I'll be lucky enough to have plan B and can just change what I was going to wear, thereby reducing the time I must project controllable color events outward until there is some sort of color connection and the problem is resolved. (This is actually quite true...) On rare days, I purposefully try to break the rules and it is liberating. I wonder forrest has any of this, being that his work involves shapes and textures and stuff.

I usually feel real weird if I break my habit of doing things in fours. I even have to tap my feet in fours, and if I step on a crack in the sidewalk with one foot I have to step on another crack with the same foot then two more with the other to equal four. I'd hate to think what a trained psychologist (or psychiatrist -- I can't tell the two apart) would think.

Bizarre! I could freak you all out with how not rythmic and disorganized I can be in my habits. I'm not good at counting anyway...
