Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric anxiety disorder most commonly characterized by a subject’s obsessive, distressing, intrusive thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or “rituals”) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions. It is listed by the World Health Organisation as one of the top 10 most disabling illnesses in terms of a diminished quality of life.

I bought a monitor on the weekend for the rug rat to use with his PC. The monitor is a beautiful new 19″ Samsung 232B monitor – a pristine white one. It’s so clean and white and crisp and pretty 🙂 and his daggy old dodgy off colour keyboard and mouse look even dodgier and daggier by the minute. Now it shouldnt matter. At all that the kid has some stuff that don’t look so good.
But it does matter. It matters a lot for reasons beyond my ability to explain. It bugs me. And I I have been thinking about it constantly since I bought the new monitor… and thought about looking for a new keyboard and mouse for him about six or seven times each day since Saturday. WHYYYYY????
I dont even go in that room much… so I hardly ever see it. But I know it’s there – the polar white new monitor with the ultra grotty keyboard…… AND it is making me twitch goddammit…. twitch almost as bad as when i make the bed and then someone comes along and sits on it!
Twitch, twitch……
How long do you give me before I’ve ordered The Small Child a new mouse and keyboard too?? 🙁
UPDATE: I didn’t make it through the week. :/
