I categorize and then alphabetize my books : I love order but I also love the random pattern of order that comes from different book heights, widths and colours. And I line things up : book edges, papers, anything on a flat surface gets lined up parallel with the edge of the flat surface but I also line things up visually - window-frame with building across the street, with lamp-post with tree, moving my head around until they are all lined up with one another.<br />But I'm not weird - I don't do the underwear thing.kapgafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472235272953469113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651417445743903281.post-21931635726379802902009-04-15T05:25:00.000+01:002009-04-15T05:25:00.000+01:00Sweet Cheeks - Oooh, spine cracking!

This times that is half of two times the last three numbers....<br /><br />I know...a lot of brain power wasted there...but I actually remember almost every number ever put in my head like that.<br /><br />My books are sorted by size and then grouped by color. The obvious exception to that are books from a series that are numbered...They are banished from normal books and must live on their own shelves.<br /><br />And all of my clothes are sorted by color...not by season...so shorts and sweaters occupy the same space if they are the same color.<br /><br />Oh...and as for the halfway thing...I will take a new book and open it up half way and crack the spine..I know...Librarians all over the world curse me!<br />;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651417445743903281.post-10515771222458569892009-04-14T19:31:00.000+01:002009-04-14T19:31:00.000+01:00Diane - You do the numbers thing?
