i've done that.

my older brother is a better sketch artist than i and i learned a lot from him.
when we were growing up, if he hit one hand on the table, then he had to hit the other. if he scratched one side of his head, then he would have to scratch the other side. it got really bad until our mother threatened him and told him to stop.
he is now a very strange guy. his antisocial tendencies rival my own (go figure).
he lives thru movies and video games. started dating seriously when he turned 25yrs old.

I arrange the placemat and forks and stuff...they all have to be aligned to edges...
I do the speck on the window still.
I align things with my eyes while on the phone or zoning out (eg: try to line up the edge of my pantleg with a far off curve or wall... move my head so the flower pot matches up with the edge of the deck, etc.)
when i set my drink down on a wood table, I align the edge with a wood grain, or if it's on a coster, it's either centred, or aligned to the picture on the coaster
My girlfriend told me i subconsciously "clean" my space on the table... (eg: if she puts her glass down in 'my area'
I will push it out...)I like my idiosyncracies.

I used to have this thing where I would count syllables of words and I'd count them out by clenching butt cheeks left then right and I couldnt stop unless the word had an even amount of syllables.. it was like as people were talking to me I'd be listening to them but subconciously counting out the syllables... and I'd find myself thinking and having to add a word onto the end of my thought to even it out.
clenching butt cheeks.. oh dear.

i do that ctrl Z thing too (goddam wht doesn't it work in real life?!) and that crazy grid thing. If something is outta place I can't concentrate or work or anything until I have fixed it. Feel the need to touch new things I see......uh oh. Now I'm scaring myself.....

when I punch a client in the face I always need to do that with my other hand on his other eye as well.. makes me feel better, and the client has a perfectly symmetrical new look on his face!
_and they get it for free as well.

I now have this thing about making lists and crossing out the things I've done.. if I'm not getting enough jobs finished I'll write out the list with things I've done just so that I can cross them out, it gives me satisfaction.
help me!

damn the ctrl z... so many times I've expected to be able to do that on my mobile phone.. why dont they have it?!

i used to draw multi-story car parks when I was a kid.......dunno why

i used to draw maps__ maps___ thousands of maps__ of fictional countries and places, with tunnels, bridges, freeways, highways, ports, airports... all with their own symbols____
omg... this IS really some freudian thread here, isn't it?
We are all anti-social, lightly autistic maniacs of form, function and symmetry...
omfg...

when I walk on sidewalks, I stepped on even tiles. ie, left foot on one tile, go up one tile, right another tile, put right foot on that tile. acutually I stopped doing that when I figured I look like a freak walking that way, so I just look down now and get quietly disappointed if the tiles don't align with my steps.
but I don't do the ctrl z thing in real life. y'all just freaks.

kinda like i used to work at a restaurant for a bit, we'd have to say, "corner" when going around a corner, didn't want any bumpies, so after work i'd be all "corner" when i'm turning right at a stoplight...
doh!

I always skip one step on the stairs, i am tall and some stairs force me to somehow skip two steps when i am in a hurry...

I always check that....it's driving me nuts...if I wasn't already.
