"Perfect"

I have a certain mind when it comes to remembering things. Well, it’s mostly about books and movies. Especially if I read and watched them a million times. I even tell my parents that what they just said was not what they had just said earlier. Now, what it comes down to (in simple terms) is that I’m a "perfect nobody."

So what if my (literally) tiny bedroom is (somewhat literally) the storage room in our house beings the fact nearly everything ends up in my room? And so what if my room is not clean because of everything I have in it? And so what if I have a million papers from school this school year so far in a folder without any pockets where my four classes of papers is jumbled all together? Other than that, I’m "perfect."

What do I mean by "perfect?" What I mean by that is what I said above about books and movies and what my parents say. If a movie is taken from a book, the movie has to be exactly like the book. If a book is taken from a movie (there were a couple of books that I have read that was taken from a couple of movies), then that has to be exactly like the movie! And if my parents say early on in the day that so-and-so said this and then later on that night, they say that so-and-so said that, I tell them that they (my parents) did not say that.

And another thing that might end up not being "perfect." If I’m talking to somebody and we talk about a subject we are originally starting out with, we’ll end up talking about a million other topics. And then, when we’re done talking about the last subject, they will ask what we were talking about (the original topic). Sometimes, when I let them go off and talk about something else, I’ll literally sit there and think about what the original topic was that we were talking about. I think my first "incident" was in seventh grade. And this has continued to happen on rare occasions, especially at home with my mom and dad.

But here’s another thing that I have to be "perfect" about: My blankets. Right now, I have two of them. One of them is from my aunt. That one has stars and can glow in the dark, but obviously not for a long period of time. My second one was my grandmother’s. She passed away this past June, and so my family and I brought a lot of her things home with us. Hers has flowers on it. And both blankets have a tag on them. Every time my blankets shift position or I take them from my bed so that I can go sleep on the couch, I always have to have the tags at the foot of my bed or at the other end of the couch. Basically, the tags always has to be on the opposite side where my head is going to be.
