Obsessive Compulsive

I find myself to be very obsessive and compulsive. I have always had habits of organizing things without any idea why they bothered me so much.
In the store, if the magazines are mixed up, I usually have to organize them so they are correct. If the cat food at the store is turned around I sometimes find myself tuning them all face forward so they're all the same. Things like that really bother me some days, but not always, it just depends on my mood.
I'm obsessive over lost things. If I ever lose anything at all I obsess over it until I find it. It also compulsive because I have to look for it. I can't make myself not look for the thing because the fact that something is lost really bothers me.
Another compulsive thing is that I really can't sit still for very long. I generally have to change positions and twiddle my fingers around so I won't go crazy. I have to be moving or doing something to just be able to sit around. I also have to make things just right (like have all the pens evenly spaced when we're playing Spoons at lunch). The need to make things orderly is compulsive to me because I feel the urge to fix it all the way I need it to be.
I am compelled to organize everything everywhere (except my that is! And I don't know why I don't have the need to fix that). When I was younger I used to have to arrange my books by size and sometimes in order alphabetically. I guess I've never been ale to handle disorder well.
Amazingly this topic was a whole lot shorter for me and that also bothers me because usually I write a whole lot more. However, there's nothing left to say and that really bothers me. I'm obsessive compulsive and there's nothing I can do about it, but it sure can be fun!

My Handicaps and Advantages

I have a few handicaps. My least favorite one is that I have glasses. They're a handicap because they make it difficult to swim and do other things like that because without them I can't see well. Glasses also mean that I have to get my eyes checked often, because they keep changing, and it can be a painful experience.
Another handicap its that I have braces. They are a handicap because they make it hard to eat certain things that I love. I can't eat things like peanuts and gummy worms because there's a possibility of a bracket coming off. I hate them so much because I can't enjoy some of my favorite foods.
A strange handicap of mine is that I have small wrists and hands. This is a handicap because I generally can't wear most of the bracelets at the store. The bracelets all just slide off my hand and it can be quite annoying.
Another strange handicap is that I don't have pierced ears. Its strange because most people do and they often ask me why I don't have mine pierced (which annoys me-so please don't ask).It's also a handicap because it is hard to find earrings since hardly any stores sell clip-ons, but I would hardly ever wear earrings anyways so it doesn't matter.
I'm a perfectionist. I think I sort of have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). I used to have to arrange the magazines at the store when I was younger and when I was younger than that, I used to arrange my books in straight lines from smallest to largest. This is sort of a handicap because little things bother me and I have to fix them. It's an advantage because I notice little things, for example my grandmother lost her wedding ring yesterday (really it was yesterday) and I found it in the crack of a chair. So that is one way it is an advantage.
Another advantage is that I travel a lot. It's an advantage because I get to learn more about different places. So far I've been to 26 states and I just got back from Pennsylvania yesterday (that's where I was Friday and Monday). It can be a disadvantage though because I do miss some school work.
One disadvantage is that I'm often quiet. This is just how I am in front of large groups of people (large groups meaning like the size of our class or bigger) or around people I don't know very well. With my friends I can be quite talkative, but generally not around a lot of people.
An advantage is that I'm smart. I've been in advanced classes for as long as I can remember and have always done well in school. This can actually be a disadvantage because I feel bad when I get a low grade. But, I always try to get ahead and do as good as I can.
Another advantage is that I'm creative and artistic. I love working with materials and I am going to try to teach Camisia how to knit because she's been asking for a while. But I love doing things with my hands and I always have.
This is getting long so I'll wrap it up. I have many advantages and disadvantages (some of which I didn't list) but in reality even though we all have some advantages and some disadvantages, that's what makes us special and unique so don't feel bad about your disadvantages because they are what make you, you.

Ms. Chiang,

Almost every year i go to Ellijay in October with my family to buy apples and pumpkins. Braces really annoy me, but I've had them for two months so I only have around 18 months to go. Cats are my favorite type of pets, i have one who is around 22 years old. Dogs are okay, but i personally like cats better. Education is important to me, even though school is annoying. Friends are also important to me because I love hanging out with them and I would go crazy without them. Games are fun to play with friends. Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. I love animals and nature and I'm going to Italy (yay!!) with my church group in 2008. Jokes are hard to tell and usually aren't very funny in my opinion. Koalas and kangaroos are some of my favorite animals because they're so sunny looking. Left-handed people are really weird, but they can be cool. Many random things excite me like little spoons and umbrellas. No one can ever get inside my mind and completely understand me because my opinions and thoughts are always changing. Outrageous things can be scary, but exciting at the same time. Perfection and order in everything around me is generally important, for example all the pens have to be arranged in a row. Quaint little towns are fun to be in and its fun to explore the little stores in them. Rain is my favorite type of weather because I love the sound it makes on the roof. Sometimes I travel to strange, usually at least once a year. Traveling is fun for me and so far I have been to around 26 states. Umbrellas are really interesting to look at, but not fun to use. Violins make sad music that annoys me because who wants to go through life sad? Whatever I am doing I don want to do it for to long because I get bored easily. Xylophones make cool sounds and we always used to play them in elementary school. Yesterday is one of my favorite words today, there's no reason behind it, but I really like that word today. Zedonks and zebras bring back some strange memories for me and my friends.

When I die i want to be buried. I don't think it's right to be cremated. donating your body to science is another option which i have no problem with, but it's not something i want to happen to me. I think burial is the best option because it gives others a place to come and remember you and makes it so you're not forgotten. It sort of gives your life a purpose and mening because it makes it so people see where you are and dont forget the life you lived. It causes memories to come back to them seeing a gravestone, and isn't that something you want? Don't you want people to remember you? Putting your old ashes up in an urn on the mantle doesn't really let people remember you and allow them to bring memories back to their minds and have feelings for you. Giving your corpse to science isn't a bad discision either because it allows people of the world to become more knowledgeable and gives others a better chance in life.
When a person dies anything can happen to them. I think that a persons body stops working and they just cease to exist. The person just ceases to be there although their body exists they are no longer "real". They are just a thing after they die, not a person or a loved one. Just a thing. A being without a life or thought or feeling. They're an object that has no meaning except to cause pain and grief. The corpse doesn't try to cause pain, its just an object that brings back memories and feeling because of its appearance. a corpse is an object, no longer a person.
The sole of a person. Where does it go when yoyu die? I think it just escapes from the body and drifts away like an invisible matter. It separates and divides into tiny atoms until it is no longer. The sole is just an object that exists inside you and when it is released with death it disintegrates into the air and becomes nothing but the sorrow of others. Your sole becomes the tears in peoples eyes and causes then the sad and devastating feelings they have deep inside them. The sole seeps into loved ones and becomes that deep-down feeling that feels like a whole in your heart. A drifting sole form a dead loved one causes this feeling. That sole seeps inside you down to your heart and causes that heart break of when a loved one dies. You know you'll never see them again or speek to them or touch them, but thats not what causes that sickly pain in your heart. What causes it is that loved one's sole seeping into your skin, penetrating to your heart, puncturing it with its rough edges and causing that deep pain that makes it feel like your heart is going to burst. They cause those invisible holes that drill into your heart and cause that feeling that you can't run away from. You can't escape that feeling as the sole has drilled into you at the person's death. When the person dies their sole is released into the atmoshere and finds its way to others, its loved ones. The feeling has completely drilled into them when they get the news of that loved one's death, and invisibly bursts the person's heart. The hearts outer layer, the sole is what completely bursts. It tears and rips and bruises and leaves that aching feeling. When you think about that person later it causes pain just like a finger pushing a bruise. It hurts you and you can't escape that feeling just like you cant escape the pain of pushing on a bruise. It'll happen and there's no escape. You can't run from pain and you can't run from memories.
The sole is an invisible thinng/ It surrounds your heart and theres no way to escape its grasp. It'll hold on to your heart for as long as it can, but when it lets go, so does your heart. Your heart quits beating when the soles grasp loosens and comes off. The sole is what holds your heart together and keeps it from stopping. When the sole breaks off of your heart you die and the sole escapes from your body and goes to your loved ones where it drills into their soles and tears them up like hands with paper. This doesn't kill them but it seriously wounds them. it doesnt cause the sole to loose its grasp but it wounds the sole and causes pain just like a cut or bruise, depending on that persons impact on your life.
The sole in death effects it's loved ones because it's not the body or mind that loves, but that outer grasping layer of the heart that loves the person. The sole is what loves others, and nothing else. It's not something you can escape. Your sole will love that person forever and theres no way to escape that love.
