mildly OCD?

I don't know if I have ever shared this, but I do have some strange obsessive-compulsive tendencies. I'm not a typical OCD person, since I am a slob, but I do have a few rituals that seem a little wonky.
 
One is my keys. If I am wearing pants with pockets, my keys HAVE to be in my right-hand pocket, and my wallet in my left-hand pocket. It started when a pair of pants I had developed a small hole in the left-hand pocket, and my keys would slip though, but my wallet was too big to fit in the hole. Since then, even though those pants are long gone, I have never been able to have my keys and wallet reversed.

Another thing I have is I get seriously anxious if I'm not like at least a half-hour early for anything. I'll figure out how long it will take me to get somewhere, and double it, and leave according to that time. It used to be much worse when I was taking a bus everywhere, but I still have the anxiety on most occasions.

The last and weirdest quirk I have is about my stories. For some reason, if I break a story into chapters, I have to end with an even number. I had serious anxiety that I would end up with 11 chapters of "Rock Star Makeover", and worked very hard to make sure that wouldn't happen.

Odd, don't you agree?

Not as odd as I have to have the glue strip on a pad even with the pad papers.
