what's your ocd?

[rone]

tongodeon and opadit asked this a few weeks ago.  I've been mulling it over and i realize i have two:

• Trimming my mustache.  I have to make sure that the hair does not creep over my lips, and that there aren't any stray long hairs.  I will do this constantly, sometimes even at work.
• Reorganizing my wine 'racks'.  My 'cellar' consists of two wine boxes on their sides, a polystyrene 12-bottle holder that i cut down so it would fit on the shelf, one modular Lincoln-Logesque rack, and one wire rack i got from davewsmith_blog.  I organize the wine so they're together by varietal, older vintages on top.  But do the black muscat and zinfandel port go with the dessert wines or with the red wines?  How do i position blends?  I only have two syrahs; what should i put in the available third spot?

My clothes in the closet have to all be facing the same way and have to be arranged in order - dresses, skirts, pants, long sleeve shirts, t shirts, tank tops, business suits.

In my wine rack I tend to try and keep the varietials together - Chardonnays, Syrahs, Burgundies, Bourgognes, Gewurtztraminers ...

Hm, I'd say the muscat and port go with the dessert wines, or at least with "specialty wines."

I would position blends in between the varietals that they are closest to. I don't think there is any right or wrong way; just pick a system that's easy for you to understand.

In the third spot - if you have a fourth zin or beaujolais, put it there.

This wine business is opaque to me.
My best OCD fillip is that, like Roger Rabbit, if someone says half of a catchphrase, saying, or song lyric, I have to finish it. Doesn't really work in print, thank goodness.

I tend to the packrat side of OCD. I have to fight with myself to actually discard things. I have computer magazines from the '80s, that cover languages that aren't used anymore.
