I think I can one up you on that. Most of my extended family is Mormon... someone's always popping out a baby.


That's been apparent since you got on here!!!


I'm fascinated with astronomy.
To the extent that I went to a "star party" earlier this year. These people had a ton of telescopes set up and I got to see Saturn, the moon, Venus, Jupiter.
I used to record all of the planet programs on the science channel. I couldn't get enough of it.
I asked for a star chart for Christmas .

No offense to anyone on here but I've seen many people say thngs like 'I'm a little OCD' or 'I must have OCD because I get really fixated on stuff'.....that is not having obsessive compulsive disorder.....you have no idea what torment genuine OCD is and how it invades everything you do in your life....I have not had a moment's peace since I was 7 years old....I've had to do everything from counting every time I blink my eyes or swallowed in a day....to washing my hands 75 times a day (sometimes with bleach) until they're raw and bleeding, to staying up all night in order to say an even number of prayers perfectly...and if one even felt wrong I would have to start over again lest I risked damnation.

It is a constant record player in my head that I cannot escape and for which there is no effective medication...I am only able to manage it in order to function...but there is no rest from it. Forgive me but sometimes I get a little frustrated when people toss the term OCD around lightly as though it were a personality quirk rather than a serious mental illness.

I'm not meaning to pick a fight or put anyone down and I'm not singling anyone out because many people have mentioned it......I'm just saying...being a neat freak or being obsessed with a certain thing that you love....or just having to have one little item a certain way is not OCD....and to say that it is is belittling a serious problem that a few of us on this board actually have. Please don't do this. Just a request.....please. It actually kind of hurts my feelings.

I have conversations with people in my head. Also, when I am in my apartment all by myself I stare at places where people would be at and start having convos.

Well.... that.... umm... actually... explains quite a bit...

I think part of my father is starting to kick in...just don't catch me singing in the streets to "Dirrty"!

I have synesthesia which means I combine two of my senses. Basically ever letter of the alphabet and number has a specific color so when I read something the letters each have their own distinct color. Something like 1 in 2000 people have it but it can change. Some people can taste words or see sounds, but I can only read in color.

totally agree BD, that is just one aspect of why I think I am OCD though

I can't stand odd numbers, if I do something I have to do it twice or an even time
I do this weird thing with my hands and if I start, their is a pattern I have to do until it is finished

I wouldn't say I have OCD majorly, but I do have OCD tendencies, mainly marked by my obsession with even numbers and doing some activities in a percise order otherwise getting fustrated easily

You're right BD, and I totally agree. That term has been thrown around a lot on here. It is a real medical condition and it's not something to joke around with. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I have imaginary conversations with people too, but they are always when I am in my car

*sighs with relief*
I'm not the only one!

I don't have conversations with imaginary people. I do however have conversations with myself on a regular basis- especially when I'm trying to figure something out. (It's not that bad until I actually start to argue with myself.)

Sorry jenna...I just realized you were the one of the last ones to post on it....but I wasn't directing it at you....guess it must have seemed like it though....sorry. It's that the other stuff has been going on since I first mentioned I had it and people are saying stuff like I like to have a clean house or I am obsessed with blah, blah, blah so I'm OCD, too....and I know that there are a couple of other people on here who actually do have OCD and I just felt like I had to say something. But I wasn't directing it at you.

scientist say people who talk to themselves in their minds or outloud is a sign of intelligence

I don't do heels...

That's a **** shame! I like women in heels... I'm a definite leg man (among other parts...)

thats good to know!

I have a brother who is 12 years younger than me.

I only wear them on special occasions like last Sat but it's not something I go gah gah for.

I've seen bits and pieces of Titanic - here and there. I have never actually sat down to watch the entire film.



I've never played monopoly.
Got it a few days ago.

no problem BD, actually I agree with you on it, the term in thrown around too much, actually I think the terms for most psychological disorders are throw out too much, thus taking away from those with the real disorder

I hate pants, given the option between pants and a dress or skirt, I will chose the skirt 100% of the time. I like pantyhose and heels

I would actually consider naming my kid Fox, after watching the X-files for so long it growing up it seems like a normal name to me

My nephews and niece walked in on me showering once/twice (each) even though I locked the door ( the lock fooled me...somehow they always managed to get it open!). The little one likes to say, "peek a boob" and turns over the shower curtain...enjoyed it too.

It's when I stay over at my sister's...

I dance and sing around the house randomly and goofily when no one is home

I used to hate heels . Now that's all that I will wear.


I prefer pants, but I like to wear at least one skirt a week. They're fun. But I hate pantyhose .

The lady Jenna met on Sat wasn't me she was actually my double from Alias.
















Jk.

I want a body double, then they can work for me while I can stay home and chat on the boards all day

Can you run well in heels?

I really don't understand why you girls would want to go through the trouble of wearing high heel shoes. Special occasions - sure, makes sense. But all the time? While out running errands?

I was curious about that too. Is it just something you get used to?

Something revealing...hmm

Oh...I sometimes post while having a few drinks on my weekends. I don't recommend doing this. Because, what you want to say and what you post end up being 2 totally different things sometimes lol.

I have three little kids... I've learned to run like h*ll in heels!!! I really like the sound they make too.

I've never watched an entire episode of Heroes because I was only drawn in by the wonderful Petrelli storyline(s). I mostly flash forward through the rest of the other character's storyline however I still have an idea of what people are talking about when they discuss outside the Petrelli realm.

Now is a good time for me to go through each episode with no button touching!

Now that's interesting!!!

Yeah, you would have never guessed since I have been on the boards since Ep 7. Well, when I watch it live I just either cook, clean, or just chase after my baby nephew.

Agreed! And surprised. I don't think I could ever do that, FemmeFatale. I like all of Heroes.



haha, but still. I bet you'd ran faster in sneakers.
I feel like I am spamming.


Okay, the other day, I told a friend that I bought a lot of games, then started mentioning them: Simpsons Lying Dice game, monopoly, uno, poker, mad gab, etc.
He was surprised, and accused me of being old fashioned because he automatically assumed video games.

I haven't played a real video game since Battlefield 1942.

It's a very long story that begins with me not having a television set for 3 years. So I just grew out of the whole "t.v" thing. I don't like t.v that much but when I caught Heroes that one day...it was the Petrelli storyline. I'm on the computer more because my work place also involves being on the computer so....
I can never watch a full episode LIVE because on Mondays I watch my nephew and mothers and fathers knows how that goes! I do try to re-watch it o/l though...try. I still know what goes around though because from reading threads and all.

Thats pretty interesting. I have to watch the whole episode. If I miss one I still know whats going on, but I like to watch the whole thing. When the Petrelli brothers on, I really get into it tho, and I yell at anyone who talks to me.

I never really liked watching tv either. The Office and Will and Grace were the only ones that I watched, but my friends got me into Prison Break, Heroes, and lost. I'm sure after those tv shows are canceled I prolly wont watch much tv after.

I feel kind of ashamed for admitting to it though. Because it is a huge hit show and here I am saying, "I've never watched a full episode and yet I am on the boards (5 days a wk) when I'm at work/home.".

I do think that you don't need to watch an entire episode to figure out why things happened in the end like they did. (If you know what I mean).

The reason why I was only into the Petrelli storyline because I've never felt anything like that in my life. I just wanted to feel/know what it was like to have somebody like Nathan/Peter instead of something so negative. Anyways...

The actors brought so much warmth and happiness to my life made me want to fly and thank them in person for bringing the characters to life. Maybe not so much with "box of rocks" but Nathan...OMG! He is too wonderful for words!
Now you guys know why I was so upset when I missed AP...I wanted to thank him very much and at least kept a positive memory in my brain.

Sorry for the cheesiness people! Bye bye now.

Wow, I don't think I could miss a second without rewinding my DVR.

Revealing...I've seen all of volume 1 three times now. Once on TV, once when the DVD came out, and once for the commentaries. I've seen all of volume 2 twice.

I thought no one had noticed my Sylar obsession, with me being restrained and all.

I do seriously have OCD. I'm so bad that when I use to bump into the door or wall I had to touch it again, to get the last touch[which I know it's an inanimate object, but in my mind I had to do it, otherwise I got really stressed out]. I have to fight to control that urge now.

I have to do things in even too, I have to eat in evens. So when I have odd sweets or crisps Igive the extra away, or bite it in half so it's even.

And I have to dress in the same order everyday, and it stresses me out when I have to deviate from my routine.

That's okay....alot of times I'll fast forward through just to watch Matt or Nathan or HRG....fast forward through Maya's crap...fast forward through Sylar unless he's with one of the characters I like, fastforwarded the h*ll out of feudal Japan...cuz even though Kensei's hot....it was like watching paint dry.

I fastforward through Lost too...just so I can watch Sawyer.

The first time I saw Heroes was on DVD. It was Vol. 1 and I was enjoying it so much that we watched 14 episodes, one right after another. We were up until 6 AM.

o lol that sounds like fun pax i like staying up all night and just hanging out with friends for some reason the night life is more enjoyable

thanks, board buddy for understanding.lol. i know all about the other characters though...it's just that watching them takes a lot of time from me when i got other issues in the background.

I don't watch t.v for more than 1/2-1 hr now (supernatural and heroes).

Hey, I thought you said he was wearing them! Give them back, I say!!! GIVE THEM BACK!

It was fun! Thank goodness it was a holiday weekend. I don't think we would've survived work the next day.


BC's jealous! HoSsies, remember there is plenty of Sylar to go around, handcuffed or not. He does have multiple powers and stamina. It's not like we're going to kill him; no one else on the show can, so I don't think we should worry about that. Sharing! SHARING!


Something about myself...I love Lost!

See, brainchick...we're gonna have to tag team bonnie! She keeps tryin' to steal everybody else's man!!! I think we should take them all and just leave her with Bob.........or West!

Bob...or West! Blackdog, they're actually fighting over the handcuffs, you know, the really important part of the relationship.


The thing about myself...I love milk.

MMMmmmmmm......handcuffs!

Dang BD...you been hangin around CMN too much...that's just mean.

Something revealing...I secretly think Call_Me_Noah is funny., but I would never tell him that in person.

But she would love to be with West!
