This isn't rare by any stretch, but my Itunes library has to be PERFECT. I essentially download all my things, leading to much inaccuracy, and I'm willing to take the time to correct everything including the album cover.

I must keep my eyes open when taking a cold shower.

I feel I'll drown, like those people who drown when a big ship (like the Titanic) sinks.

Do you go as far as getting the album cover image with the best color? Lots of the default ones look like bad scans or something.

this is so STRANGE.

i feel like this ALSO. taking a warm water or hot shower or pouring warm/hot water over my head i dont mind, but when a stream of cold water is poured constantly over my head, i feel like im going to drown and i panic. i need to keep my head away periodically and yes, i have to try to keep my eyes open. is this so weird??

I am afraid of insects on my skin to the degree that I become a gibbering mess if I become aware of one on me and thrash uncontrollably trying to get it off.

When swimming, afraid of fish that are bigger than a couple inches long. I nearly passed out when I ran into a five foot barracuda snorkeling.

I have great difficulty sleeping without a fan to provide white noise.

I can't stand having sticky hands and will go nuts if there is anything remotely sticky on them.

I don't mind the sight of my own blood or needles, but I feel physically ill when I see someone else being pricked or bleeding.
Plus claustrophobia and some acrophobia, but i think that's normal

Guilty. Old computer died, didn't have a backup, had to re-find ~ 1500 songs, and correct the album names/artwork. Talk about a weekend project!

The worst in is a restaraunt when the table hasnt been washed properly, and the table before has spilt sauce or coke which is now sticky on the table. That is a walk out offence.

Yes, sir. It's not really a priority, but I've been slowly working on it.

I can not be late to things. I'm miserable if I am or think that I may be. I used to hold other people to similar expectations of being on time/early, but then I grew up.

I'm generally irrational phobia free. I've gotten over needles, venomous critters, drowning, etc, though I used to have issue with each.

Edit: heights still kind of get to me, but I'm almost free of this one too. It's mostly just a rush at this point.
