    because apparently, my ocd with colors has gotten worse!! I wanted a mousse for my hair that was gonna be the same color ~ well the packaging, that is ~ as my gloss thingy, and I hesitated between 2 brands which both had some pink on the packaging that matched the pink on the cap of the Got 2 b gloss thing, but I couldn't tell which one matched more.

    NOW HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT???? Can someone please hit me in the had with a shampoo bottle?

    I have a thing with colors, though. I believe they're really important and always carefully choose them, to match or mingle, and color therapy too like what colors you should be around for happiness, or to sleep better etc.

    You cannot imagine how many times we had to wait for lots and lots of time in stores back when I was a kid because my mother used to do the same damn thing.

    lol I hate it! People probably think I'm superficial with things for my hair and face etc. to look pretty but I only want my things to match on the bathroom counter. I have a problem.

    probably can't really tell that well by the color on the cap either. you know there's no law that says they have to not be misleading. let alone unintentionaly so.

    i can tell you one stupid thing i've just been doing. i wasn't even going to get on here tonight, i had a million zillion other things i was going to do, and i just ended up spending the whole damd night (from when i logged on just after midnight and a half) and now it's halfway into the day on here instead. (i think that's almost more then 12 hours ago if not longer. yes i am sometimes an idiot).

    I always get into arguments with my mom when shopping.

    We have recently mutually agreed to never go shopping together again, ever. It just takes too much out of the two of us. She once took an hour to pick out a toy for a 5 month old... crazy woman, crazy!

    I got my love-of-shopping gene from my dad... strangely... even if I go shopping for food or things of no interest (not cds, records, books, movies, or clothes...), I get exited and wanna take my time, carefully choosing everything... I'm awful :(

    I'm obsessive compulsive, but thankfully I don't worry about the colors of shampoo bottles because I don't store any, and I mean any, products within view. They're either in the shower or in the closet. I'm obsessive about having things left out on counters/sinks/tables. Must be put away! No ifs, ands, or buts.

    I've got a lot of things I'm obsessed about though. My husband is also obsessive compulsive so we make a great pair. [​IMG]

    I just wanna make it clear that I don't care about the actual shampoo... it's the bottle I care for. Maybe it's the artistic side of me... extended to fucking shampoo bottles that have to look good. I once almost bought a shampoo cause it seemed really good for my hair, and didn't because it looked like shit. I'm an idiot.

    But if I were an advertiser I'd be pretty fucking good at it! Not that I will ever be one or do anything with my life that involves making money off people.

    I'm an artist, a true one, not trying to sell...

    But I do like purple and pink together.

    lol

    no, it means I'm more of an artist than superficial since I don't care about how my fucking hair feels or looks but I appreciate colors and patterns on a plastic bottle!!
