The last one usually messes up the whole vibe and I have to start all over again from the beginning... reliving memories helps me sleep better and faster..blackestredhttp://blackestred.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303234986480561090.post-51092564496582734042011-10-20T16:37:25.132+05:302011-10-20T16:37:25.132+05:30I had something similar to what you described, but...I had something similar to what you described, but not as bad! Jumping over imaginary lines, not stepping on cracks, perfectly clean floors. Even after I grew up I didn't change too much, one of my friends said I was like Monica Gellar of 'friends'. I can't stand mess :)diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963484333197068001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-303234986480561090.post-62484712545522872892011-10-19T20:42:21.927+05:302011-10-19T20:42:21.927+05:30EWE are a good writer..lol..Nice read...:DEWE are a good writer..lol..Nice read...:DKhabezumahttp://www.ihmaw.comnoreply@blogger.com
