What is the craziest thing you secretly believe?

Do you believe reptilians rule the world? Think vaccines cause lycanthropy?

Anonymous comments allowed, but why bother? I'll start.

I don't believe in ghosts or monsters, but at night I think something will bite me if I dangle a limb off my bed. I also can't sleep with the closet open. I shudder when I consider I've closed more closets in my life than opened them.

You must do this for something else. I'll be your OCD therapist.

When you turn up the TV volume, does it have to go to an even number, or a multiple of 5?

I think this is the only thing. Though sometimes some OCD stuff comes out I don't have TV volume issues or many things like that. I'm hard-pressed to think of another specific OCD-like tendency, actually.

When I was a little kid I couldn't stand being kissed on just one cheek because the pressure felt "uneven". It had to be symmetrical and equal. I made my mom slightly-late when leaving many a times trying to get the kisses to feel equal on my cheeks.

Haha. Kids are so frustrating. My sister and I used to fight over whose glass of coke was more full. Even the slightest marginal difference in meniscus would make us bicker. Poor mom.

For a slob, I'm surprisingly fussy. Books on the shelf have to be in order. Same with my CD's and movies. It bothers me so much that they're in a pile in a laundry basket in the basement right now. But if I organize them, it HAS to be done right.

Along the lines of childhood stuff: I used to believe that inanimate objects had feelings. For instance, I cried a lot when we had to get rid of my old mattress and get a new one, because the old mattress had been a good mattress and I thought it would feel bad and lonely.

You've reminded me of the Ikea lamp commercial. Did you ever see that?

The Brave Little Toaster must have been a nightmare for you.

It was REAL.

When I was tiny I was the same about evening up kisses - and if I knocked one elbow I had to knock the other. (That was long forgotten until now.)
