I have a very peculiar twitch about bookcases. And the way books, DVDs, etc, generally are arranged. My books have to be arranged in a certain way. They have to be sorted according to author, category and size. When I moved house and bought a big bookcase, I was contented for the majority of a day, finding the best order for my books to be in. You may remember an old blog post about spending several days rearranging my ex's bookcase, because it's cluttered, unorderly form was bugging me too much! And I recently also got in trouble for trying to rearrange a DVD collection... How did that get there?! (A)
I don't quite know why I have this fanatical thing about how books are arranged. The rest of my room can be a mess and it doesn't overly bother me, but if my bookcase is shuffled up then I *have* to sort it out. I just have to. I recently warned Mr B about this habit of mine. He's since decided he's going to shuffle up my bookcase. Sigh. The strange thing is, I will actually enjoy sorting it out again. It'll just bug me, whilst it's shuffled up.
Now, am I completely bonkers, or do other people have similar obsessions?
