Very interesting character you have here. But why odd numbers? Even numbers are so much nicer?

does this person have issues with occd?

Cool entry. I found it captivating and could relate, not to the ocd, but to the need to see odd numbers. I love ‘em odd.

I am a sporadic “counter” and find odd numbers comforting, so I suppose that’s why I went with odd for Alexis. Couldn’t bring myself to type that 4 was an okay number to get out of bed. ;)

Very nice description from the point of view of someone who certainly does seem to be suffering from OCD . Simple, straight-forward little story.

Imaginative and insightful, since we a look into the life of a very unique character. I remember counting things, almost everything, as if one day I would suddenly be blind and need to know exactly how many steps to take.

hey what is wrong with OCD if i ever went blind i would still be able to get around cause it’s 24 steps to the bath 15 steps to the fridge 232.5 to the barn, not that i have a ocd or any other anacronym that identifies mental illness, why yall pickin on me!! just teasing,lol. i loved your character i think i used to date her, does she have a dog named mr.117?

;) ..7 Steps from my computer to the front door, 3 locks on the door, 27 to the mail box…need I say more?

Fantastic description of someone suffering from OCD . I loved it.

The title perfectly fits. I love the way you presented the thought process, as seeming normal but not completely – or is it? There is no solid boundary between mentally handicapped and “normal.”

I always wondered what OCD feels like. You make it sound so normal. Great work.
LoA

Wow. I really love this story. From the beginning I thought, is this story about me? First of all, my name is Alex. Second of all, I basically do the same thing with my clock. Except I don’t make it whether or not I can get out of bed. It’s more like if it’s 12:01. I think 12+1=13 – 1 = 12. Things like that. But, I really liked your story. :]

Also, I think it is kind of funny that Alexis likes odd numbers but her own name is made out of 6, an even number. :p

Excellent! I think everyone is OCD a little. I have to clap in increments of four for some reason i’ve never been able to figure out.
I love the first-person point of view here. Seeing it from inside her mind.

Good stuff!

Note on the name: Notice that mom calls her “Allie” 5 letters. ;D
