I have already said that I do things in fours. I tap my foot in fours, I scratch my neck in fours, I eat chips or M&Ms in fours, I do just about everything in fours. This is a trait that Golden does not have.
Something that we both have is a sense of symmetry. This does not run as deep in Golden as it does me, though. Golden likes to make sure that things are decorated symmetrically, but there are two things that don't bother her at all that irritate my sense of symmetry.
First, she doesn't notice or care if a picture is not hung straightly. If I am in a room with a crooked picture I have a very strong desire to straighten the picture. Homer's Coffeehouse has a lot of crooked pictures.
Second, at night when Golden puts on socks to sleep in or to lounge around the house in she will simply grab two socks and put them on. They don't have to be a matching pair in color or style. I don't know why, but it irritates my feet just looking at her mismatched socks.
The picture below is a not-so-extreme example of what I am talking about. On this particular night, the sock colors were the same but the sock styles were not. If she is going to do this, I wish she would at least hide the socks behind some sandals. That should be a rule.

How does one put on two mismatching socks?
Do you not fold your socks in matching pairs or do you have a collect of left-footed socks that she grabs from?
In our house socks are ocassionally folded and are ocassionally left in a pile in a laundry basket. When mismatched socks occur it is typically due to pulling from the basket.
I do this at night time when I am about to go to bed. I don't care if they match. I just want my feet to be warm. Yes, I just pull them from a basket.
Ah the sock box, I am familiar with this, but I still wear matching socks! (Unlike c-man :) ) I think it's his personal way of rebelling against the sock box because he often picks socks that aren't his and don't match to wear!
Especially since his socks are the easiest identified!
I'm rather loose with my definition of "matching". Unless I will be walking around in my socks in front of people ... i.e. in my sandals .... I try to make sure that the colors match somewhat.
I have no problem with wearing two black-ish socks that have different heel or toe designs. I often want to throw out all socks in the house and just by identical white and black from now on.
You can tell how much I hate serching for matches in the sock box.
Ahhh Dust why'd you have to point out that you hate crooked pictures? I too am into symmetry with decorating, but now I'm going to have to make sure my pictures are all crooked when you come over! I'll have to find a way to make my design in the living room less symmetric just to throw off where your visual focus is when you come over too! This could be fun!
Great, now I'll never win another board game at T and Dash's house again. T knows how to make me lose my focus.
FINALLY a chance to win a game with Dust at the table (other then only letting him watch without participating!) I knew these blogs would come in handy!
I can't believe little cute golden wears mis-matched socks! She continues to surprise me!
I could never ever do this. First of all my feet would like... be so uncomfortable like that. They would know because the socks would feel differently. And I would know and that would just drive me insane. It even bothers me so much to look at the picture.
Were you "totally" kidding about having OCD traits because I seriously have scary OCD traits and sometimes I get scared like i'm a total freak...
