Paranoid Android

May 22, 2011 14 comments.

Admittedly, I’m not the most organised or tidiest person on this planet but I’m pretty sure that my mum’s convinced that I’m obsessive compulsive. Damn, that was a long sentence.

Anyway, I wash my dishes in a certain order—cups, plates/bowls, cutlery, whatever else—and anyone who dares disturb this order will get hit or shouted at. My exercise books, despite having worksheets falling out everywhere, need to have some sort of organisation as well—sort of like how when you’re making a site and you different tags for different headers. My jeans are sorted by colour and I’m not sure if these two make a difference but I pace for hours straight and I’m a trypophobic.

I definitely don’t have OCD though, I’m too messy for that. I just like having some things in order. Do you have anything you like in a certain order?

And for those who don’t know what trypophobia is, it’s a strange fear of clusters of holes. I would link you to it but I’m too scared. Just seeing lotus seed pods makes me very uncomfortable.

I’m studying The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy for English and it really is fun. I got the book late last year but I didn’t get around to reading it (I seriously can’t remember the last time I finished a book). We get the weirdest homework—I have to write the worst poetry in the universe (similar to Vogon poetry for those who’ve read the book) and I have to convince Ms. that it’s the worst. We were discussing the answer to the “Ultimate Question” (42) and what the question is. And for ending prayer, a teacher read Psalm 42.

I also discovered that one of my favourite songs—Paranoid Android by Radiohead—is a reference to a character in the book.

I think I failed my first test today. Have you ever failed? Someone comfort me lol.

Anyway, I must “bounce”. I had processed salmon for dinner and I’m feeling drowsy—it’s probably the growth hormones or mercury. Goodbye, friends.
