I am like Adrian Monk in many ways. One of which is that when I posted my chapter to my fic journal yesterday, I discovered I'd forgotten to post Nuit's birthday fic from Monday in there. And it bothered me so much that they wouldn't be in chronological posting order that I almost felt like deleting the post with the chapter in order to make the other post come first. Unlike Monk, I made myself not follow through. I don't think he could have resisted.

I am very obsessive-compulsive about fic order, as well as organization of books, music, DVDs, etc. I've never been a fan of those cloth booklet things that you use to remove the CDs from their cases when traveling with them. CDs must stay in their cases when they're not in the CD player. Likewise with DVDs. I also like arranging my plushies in a specific order, as well as figures, collectible dolls, throw pillows, etc. I'm slightly more relaxed than I used to be; when I was younger I absolutely *hated* if one plushie/figure was out of its usual place. Although these days I'll still try to ensure that they stick to said places.

I'm into chapter fourteen of the thriller fic now. I got the first robbery scene done in thirteen. Fakir doesn't help them. Thirteen also has the scene I was anxious to get to that I thought would be in eleven. Albeit I cheated and wrote it out of order, something I haven't done in a while. Part of the scene ended up as the beginning of fourteen, as I discovered it really needed to be lengthened and having it in thirteen was making the chapter too long and the scene too cramped and stuck-on.

Eleven has a scene I really like too, for that matter. I'll be anxious to get that one up.

And because I love Sailor Moon and likely always will, here is a meme/quiz from [livejournal.com profile] heaven_phoenix.

Sailor Pluto, with Sailor Moon a close second due to that half-point. They're both favorite characters of mine, so I like this.

I'm definitely like Adrian in a few ways, too, particularly, as you mentioned, about books, CDs, and DVDs (which is a problem because I have so very little shelf space, and had to rearrange everything to put in the Monk DVDs--oh, the irony...!).

I've never been a fan of those cloth booklet things that you use to remove the CDs from their cases when traveling with them. CDs must stay in their cases when they're not in the CD player. Likewise with DVDs.

OMGosh, me to! And they must be in the *right* cases. I literally facepalmed when I saw that my cousin and my sister were all "eh" about which CDs were in which case.

I would be the same about my plushies if it weren't for the fact that they're all in plastic bins now because of those ruddy mice...

I've never seen Sailor Moon, but I did take the quiz and got Saturn. Which kinda scares me since, in Hinduism, Saturn = Shani...

I actually don't like plain milk. I think it tastes so bleah, and I must have chocolate in it if I'm to drink it.

Do I want to know what hard milk is?

Oh yes, I was going to add "in the right cases." I can't understand why some people don't care if they go into the wrong cases. If that goes on, before long you won't be able to find anything.

Evil mice. Ugh.

Interesting. On Sailor Moon, Saturn is the Senshi of Destruction and Rebirth. At least, I think that is her official title. Her powers are based mostly on Roman mythology.

Chocolate milk is glorious.

Hard milk is when little pieces of milk left after pouring around the top and the sides of the container harden. Sometimes they fall into the milk. It is disgusting and horrifying.

I know, right?

Yep... -.-

Huh, interesting about Sailor Saturn...

It is. X3

Eeeeew, no wonder Adrian would hate it!

That tends to bother me too, but I rarely do anything about it XD; As for CD cases, we ended up getting a big cloth one when all the PC game cases mysteriously vanished (it was a long time ago, so my siblings and I most likely lost them XD;), but other than that, I prefer to have the cases. With the boxart. My sister was greatly upset that our copy of the first Phoenix Wright game had to be bought without the boxart, and I remember being upset at a friend when I lent him a game and received the case for it chewed in a corner by his dog and missing the art XD;

Arranging things, though? Not so much XD;

Yay more chapters! And Fakir not helping the crooks. That's one thing off his conscience.

Oh, that looks like a fun meme! I rarely get characters I like, though, ha. Cockroaches scare the crap out of me-- besides the whole living in insanely dirty places thing, they are also gratuitously enormous and shoot out of unexpected places at high speeds. Meeeep.

Yeah, I hate buying things without the pretty boxart. The artwork is part of the fun! That is very odd that all the PC game cases vanished like that. And ugh, that's terrible that you got your lent game back with the case chewed and the boxart gone! Gross.

When things are on a shelf, they must be in some particular order (usually genre, then alphabetical by artist/author, or by title for DVDs). But I also have many books and DVDs stacked around because there's no more shelf room. LOL. Those can be in any order I feel like (usually with the ones I do the most with at the top).

Yeah, I'm relieved. I kind of think the story was going in that direction anyway, though. Actually bothering to research him being charged and asking Rhapsody about it just sealed my decision.

Cockroaches are evil on so many levels.
