I loathe myself.

Although I did get to meet Poliwanacraca so by extension of being in her presence.....I might be less than horrible.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Its a side effect of my primary mental dysfunction.

Hey! I have OCD too!

Hey! I have OCD too!

Fun ain't it? Mine manifests itself usually in temporary things... for awhile I was obssessed with cleaning any toilet I used.. while my bathroom was spotless the benefits died off the moment I went beserk trying to clean a urinal at Eat 'N' Park...

we need ten things now to hate someone?

Ah, I'm a hoarder. I had to go to physical therapy for my trapezius pain because my purse was so heavy. You should see what I keep on my desk, it's a really really long list. I have a lot of clutter, but it's clean clutter. I have a mild thing with germs.......I don't think it's related to my OCD so much as germs are icky.

we need ten things now to hate someone?

Read the OP.

Oh, my dearest smunk...if there is one negative you should have listed, it would be your delusion that you aren't anything short of stellar.

I was also going to suggest that you join the Mafia (or turn sigs on so you can see what I'm talking about).

Oh, I see. I thought you were in or very near Philly.
