Title: Crazy, drunken. rant...
Post by Serowbot on 01/19/14 at 01:58:29

I tend to pack my weeks into single days...
6 boring routine days,.. and everything happens in one day...
A good day,.. but a long one...

I'm home on my 19th hour.... just tucked in to bed, and I lit the wrong end of my cigarette...
...looking for scissors,.. I lean and drop my netbook on the floor while I realize I have no ashtray...
I have to untangle the netbook cord to get up to find scissors to cut off the flaming filter from my smoke and find ashtray to stop this horrible stink...
It goes on...
...but, I'm resettled...

On the drive home,.. at 2pm,... having consumed, but not being intoxicated... but still paranoid about being pulled over...(this is rare,.. but...)...
I realize,.. I have a new phobia...
I can't allow my car stereo volume to rest on an odd number...   24 is too loud, but I must adjust to 22...
23,.. is not an option.. it just wouldn't feel right...
I must get an even number...
20 will do... but not 21...
I couldn't live with 21...

To some folks... normal folks,... it wouldn't matter...
.. but, I must settle on an even number...
I don't know why...
Am I alone in this?... I don't know...
It would strike me odd, if no one else had this preoccupation with being even...
... but, it would freak me out totally, if someone had an identical preoccupation with odd numbers...
Can you imagine?.. someone insane enough to need to adjust to only odd numbers?...
What kind of crazy is that?...

Ahhhhhhh...  I feel better now...
I've just rationalized myself,.. and my OCD back into the sane category...
Odd numbers would be nuts...
Even makes perfect sense...

I'm at peace...
...and once more... the world is spinning in greased grooves...
:-?...

Peace and good will to all... and to all a good night...

Just don't tell me odd numbers are correct...
It could upset the balance of the universe... :-?...

Go play roulette, put all your money on an odd number.....
With certainty I can assure you this will expose your root cause to this perplexing issue you experience, or.....not. Its your bet  :-X

I too had the even number issue. Now that my home audio gear has changed, it must be a number divisible by 5. On my computer, it can go either way.

The only superstition I have is "touch wood". I wear a wood pendant so I am always touching wood.

Really good home audio gear does not have numbers on the volume dial. ;)

I can tell your OCD isnt an extreme case. People who suffer from severe OCD tend to call it CDO, keeping the letters in alphabetical order.

So true.......wreaks havoc with mild OCD.

I try to find the same volume level every time, but... in the back of my mind I always know it's not exactly right.

Enough to drive ya nuts, it is.

OMFG! LOL!  I cannot for the life of me put the volume on any product at an odd number, never could. When I owned my 87 Mercury Grand Marquis, I never touched the radio after my first setting, never changed the channel, never changed the volume. I almost broke my friends hand when he went to change the channel on a long ride because it started to fuzz out.
OCD? what the heck is that... I mean, there is nothing wrong with trying to keep every thing even.... I mean ...odd is just that ODD...meaning different or wrong... keep it safe be square... err even.

Well even numbers .. unless there HAS to be a mid point.  Then you must go odd numbers. Half does not count.

So zero to ten ... half is 5... Odd gets thier chance.

Could it just be that in his subconscious, Bot just doesn't want to be "odd"?  The OCD could be subliminal work to force him away from the dark side.

Serow, The soud bar for my tv usually sounds best on volume 13. I got it bad!  ;D I worked as a a DJ years ago at 104.9 FM and at college on 94.3. Had to get used to it. When I sit at a desk or table my notebook will usually end up being square with the edge.

Strictly speaking, this is a mild form of mental illness, but if it doesn't run or interfere with your life it just makes you (us) human. Everyone on here does something we would find weird. Serowbot, get some rest and please be careful about consuming and driving. We have enjoyed your unique style of "insanity" too long to lose you. Boofer

I am OK with 11.  Sure it is an odd number....but it is a symetrical one! :o

Wow, I have always assumed/expected/thought/felt that this place was a collection point for the weird and weirder, but I am now totally assured that my REASONINGS were absolutely correct all along.
Thanks guys, I feel so much better about myself now.
Me ? ?  
Well, I pretty much just flap in the wind.
It takes too much energy to go to all that effort to keep up with such things as ya'll deal with.
Thinking about all this has worn me out, time for a break.
;D ;D ;D ;D
