I'm an addict. I picked up Neverwinter Nights 2 a few weeks ago and no one has heard from me since (unless they were very patient). I would say that I'm almost finished, but I know that's probably not true. The game is much longer than I thought it would be. It's good though, addictingly good.

I've had several people today tell me that I'm weird. I'm used to it. I think I started saying "thank you" when someone said it to me back in sixth grade. I think I act pretty normal. I'm quiet. I don't really do much to draw attention to myself, but yet people always seem to think I'm odd. Oh well.

Just to let you know ways I may show my oddness:

Six Weird Things About Me

1. I cannot leave other people's written work unedited. If I'm reading through something that has a spelling or grammar mistake, I have to correct it. I'm no king of spelling or grammar. I'm sure I leave plenty of mistakes for other people to find (and generate plenty of my own), but I have to correct the mistakes I do find, even if I end up not saving the changes. I especially can't handle excel spreadsheets with inconsistent fonts and borders.

2. I can't leave a light on when I leave a room unless someone else is in that room. I can't leave the tv on either if I'm not watching it. I'm perfectly fine leaving my computer on (though I'll shut off the monitor), but for some reason leaving the lights or other electronic devices on sets of some sort of panic reflex in me. I blame my father.

3. I'm horrible about sticking to routine. It took me months to get used to flossing and it's still difficult for me to remember to take my medicine every morning (you would think 12 years would make it a breeze). I've just never been very attached to doing anything at certain times of the day. And I've never found it easy to pick up an addiction unless it's physically attached to me. (I still bite my nails and I don't know that I'll ever be cured of that).

4. If I read a book that has a depressing ending and if I've grown attached to the characters I will cry and mope about it for days.

5. I look forward to events so much that by the time the day actually gets there I've either overextended my expectations to the point I don't have fun or I just don't enjoy it. Spontaneous fun seems to work well for me if I don't worry I'm messing it up the whole time.

6. I don't have a favorite number. I like the numbers 2,3,4,7,9 and any combination of those numbers. I have no idea why.
