Well, it might sound crazy but I’m a self confessed friendly-neurotic!!! This is something that I don’t try to hide from people, but I don’t usually go around promoting it either. The reason why I don’t mind admitting it is that I don’t think my neuroses affect anyone (yeah, right!!!). So that’s why I named this little thing friendly-neuroses. So I thought I might dedicate this blog to all the friendly-neurotics around. If you are out there, and you feel like you’re a bit neurotic about little things that don’t affect anyone else but yourself, please come out of the closet and join me!!!!
But please note; I’m seriously talking only about those people who DON’T drive others crazy with their nonsense. So, to illustrate this a bit better to you, I’ll give you a few examples of my friendly-neuroses and you see if you fit in:
• I only change pyjamas when I change the bed sheets.
• I can’t wash tea towels or bathmat together with my own clothes.
• Under no circumstances I use the bathroom towel to go to the beach. I have to have a beach only towel.
• I can’t get changed without having a shower first. If I’m changing clothes, I have to have a shower before.
• I have clothes to go to uni, clothes to go to work, clothes to go out. They are all different and they live separately in my wardrobe. I can’t wear the jeans to go clubbing for a lunch in the park. That’s impossible!!!
• I hate when the cleaner at work move my things on the desk around (pencil case, stapler, these unimportant stuff) and he doesn’t put it back in the exact same place.
• I hate when people buy things they will NEVER use, even if it costs 5 bucks. It isn’t about the money, it’s about the attitude!!!!
• I can’t chuck food away. So if I cook something that I can’t keep (salads, fish etc), I pig myself until I bust instead of being a normal person and just throwing the left over in the bin.
• It drives me NUTS when people at my ‘glamorous’ work print stupid and unnecessary things in normal paper. People, if you’re printing a recipe for you bloody wife to cook it for you, please print it in a recycle paper. PLEASE USE THE RECYCLE PAPER!!!!! And I promise I am not an environmentalist freak, I promise!!!
• I don’t like people driving my car (er, my boyfriend’s car). It isn’t that I don’t trust people’s driving skills, but I’m just neurotic!!!
• I’ve just opened an internet banking account (after a few good years resisting it) two weeks ago because I don’t have time to go to the bank to deposit my rent anymore. I used to go to the bank every single week to take money out of my bank account and then walk to another bank to deposit it into my land lord’s account. It used to be like that because I hate computers and technology and above everything else, I DON’T TRUST THEM!!!
• I have a HUGE key ring, and my babe hates it. So if he needs my keys, he leaves half of my key ring behind. It drives me mental!! He thinks I’m crazy, I call it a friendly-neurotic.
• I never wear black and brown together, NEVER!!!
• I find it very, very hard to write without using heaps of !!!!!! or ????, as you may notice in my posts… I feel that if I don’t do it, I am not expressing myself properly.
Well these are just a few things that I can remember at the moment. Do you think you fit in under the friendly-neurotic category??? If you do, welcome!!! And maybe let me know about you friendly-neuroses stories.
Beijos e tchau!!!!

Hi thanks for coming by my blog. SO is it a bad thing about me if most of your neurocies seem perfectly normal to me. I don't even let my husband drive my car. I hate when things are moved on me. I have never used a bath towel at the beach or even at the pool. I wear the same pjs all week and then on Monday start a new one. I can't remember what else right now but I don't think it is as bad as you feared.
I´m also. And I´ll write about it someday.....
