Seriously. Sometimes my boyfriend and I just stare at ourselves in the mirror. I do it quite a bit when I'm alone and I assume he does it alone too, and we've started doing it side by side. I went through a phase where my reflection kinda freaked me out, I felt like what I saw in the mirror wasn't really me - didn't have a problem with how I looked so much as I just didn't feel like I was looking at myself. These days I can't seem to get enough of the me on the other side of the mirror, and B caught me doing this and just stood next to me and stared at our reflections too.

I mean obviously I'm not all "OMG it's like we're the same person, it was meant to be" but it's kinda funny how he and I have a lot of the same quirks - besides the mirror thing, we both don't like to sleep for fear that something awesome is going on somewhere and we're missing out. We both get up early and stay up late and sleep randomly in the middle of the day, too, and we're both pretty much addicted to coffee and energy drinks.

It was a fabulous party. I mean, it was really perfect. I think there are a few videos of it floating around out there - I'll try to get ahold of at least one. All the tequila is gone, we drank it all, and at one point we did this fabulous rhythmic rendition of "Margaritaville" like playing the picnic table like bongos and singing all different words - there was a spectacular all night poker game going on, the music flowed perfectly (of course - my playlists!) and nobody did anything crazy or got so drunk they got sick. Although a couple people did climb up on my roof, and that made me kinda nervous cause I don't need drunk people falling off my roof, nor do I want my friends to get hurt...

Me and B gave some dancing a try - sorry, that's "dancing" - with me standing on his feet kinda like little girls do when they dance with grown-ups, and that was really pretty fun although I think it would have worked a whole lot better if we were both sober!

By the time it was midnight there were only ten people still there, which was just about right because I think the noise curfew or whatever starts at midnight, so the volume dropped considerably when most of the people left, but everyone who stayed stayed all night, and we watched the sun come up this morning.

I think - pretty sure, really - that I throw the best birthday parties ever. EVER.

Also - I sent off the forms to replace my passport this morning. And I washed my hair.

WOOT!

Ok, so Remi & I don't do that...BUT I do have a full length mirror next to the bedroom door to check my outfit in the morning *and* a long mirror next to the door to check myself before I leave the house. (At least, that's where it was in the apt, and that's where it will be as soon as I get the darn thing off the floor and hang it on the darn wall.)

But enough about me. YAY for successful bday parties! YAAAAAAY for passport papers!!!

I stare at myself in the mirror all the time too. I have OCD and it's one of my "rituals". If I didn't do it, I wouldn't feel "right" for the rest of the day, and I probably wouldn't be able to leave the house.

ps: the party sounds like it was awesome :)

Another OCD person here. I swear, it's like we all unconsciously group together or something.

Just kidding. :p

lol I've actually met a few people with OCD, just over the last couple of weeks, so there might be something to your theory :)
