Okay, one of my quirks. I like even numbers, because they pair up and no one has to be left out. In my world, everything has to be even. I can’t jump over stairs, because then I wouldn’t have stepped on each of them the same number of times. And I get this weird feeling in my stomach if I don’t.

I tend to count the number of steps I’m taking (in my head), even while I’m talking to someone else, although not generally in my own house or anywhere else I feel really comfortable. If it takes an even number of steps, that means that everything’s going to work out all right. If the number is odd, something bad is probably going to happen. And I can’t start over and do it again if it’s an odd number.

I like things to be even on both sides. If I’m doing stretches, if I stretch one leg, I have to do the other one exactly the same way. If someone pulls my hair on one side, I’ll probably pull it on the other to make it even.

Am I weird? Yes. But, that’s just how I am, I suppose…dang.
