Whenever I listen to music on my Windows Media Player, I always go through the music library and check to see how many times I've played all the songs. Also, every time I get a new song, the album info has to be correct, as in correct release date and the album title word perfect. No idea how I picked this habit up...

I like all my iTunes tracks to have the correct info too. If I pick something up online I have to research out all the details and find the artwork - if there IS no artwork I make something.

Recently a guy gave me a 2-disc set of holiday music he compiled, interspersed with spoken clips from cartoons and movies. He did not identify ANY of the tracks, although he included a list of artists in the liner notes. Besides that, and I don't know how or why, the tracks weren't even divided up at the gaps between the songs, they were just sort of hacked up into random pieces. I love the cds though. So I used Audacity to merge the tracks together and then chop them up logically, then I had to try to figure out the names of all the songs by Googling the lyrics and referencing the list of artists. Figuring out the spoken tracks was harder though, as no credit was given for those. I now know more about Woody Allen movies than I ever thought I would. Anyways with a couple exceptions I got it all sorted out.

So um BBF, you're not alone.

It does in my case.

For one thing, I always have to plan a routine for a day. This means I have to know if we're going out (if so, where we're going), what we're having for lunch... a whole bunch of things.

I've also been obsessed with certain characters to the point where I tend to draw them a lot (yes, Herrimanwashere, you're not alone there).
