and you thought YOU were strange...

so...i'm not a control freak. no, really, stop laughing, i'm not. well, i'll admit that some people may have a slightly different opinion but to them, i say, "stop talking! it's not your turn!!" ok, so that's an exaggeration. i'm not that bad at all (trust me, i know some serious nutjobs). but i do like certain things to go, look or be certain ways. but, i will have you know that it never interferes with my own or anyone else's life or decisions. i like things in my own life to have some sort of order and i try to not step on any toes. for instance, i have a routine in the shower: shampoo first, followed by conditioner, soap, moisturizing lotion, then shaving. always in that order. always. but my control freak tendencies are very private and i'm rarely "freak-like" about it. just to clarify.

however, the only time i resemble a control freak is if i happen to be in the presence of one. it needs to be a control freak that i don't really like that much or one of my friends that won't punch me in the face for messing with them. but when the time is right, that, my friends, is when i like to partake in one of my favorite pastimes called "control the control freak." it's the most fun game ever! i'm telling you, the next time you hang out with a super controlling weirdo, try to beat them at their own game. if they need something kept in a certain spot, move it when they're not looking and see how many times they will stop what they're doing just to move it back. whatever it is that they feel the need to control, fuck with it. just slightly. it is quite hilarious. is it a little bit evil? of course it is. but the entertaining factor far surpasses any guilt i might feel. try it. you won't regret it, i promise.

i'm sure someone will do it to me one day and i'll realize just how annoying and not funny it really is. but until then...well, i'm poor. and this is free. and oh so much fun...you do the math.

amazing idea for cheap amusement. just as long as you don't mess with the arrangement of the clothes in my closet...or my kitchen cabinets...or anything on my desk...or the order the books are in on my bookshelves...

i don't have a problem. really. i have it all under control.

yeah, i think the reason that i find this all so amusing is that i know it would drive me nuts if someone did it to me...

of course, when i'm referring to me or someone i like, it's not "controlling," it's "efficient."
