One Short of Dewey Decimal

Flatmate A just told me I was so obsessively organised that I was "one short of dewey decimal". Whatever that means.

I believe it had something to do with the fact that my CD collection is alphabetised.

You may mock me, but at least when I have a sudden urge to listen to The Lightning Seeds (as I just did) I can grab the CD in about ten seconds because:

1. I know exactly how many CDs I own from bands starting with L; and
2. Exactly where on the shelf they are placed.

I'm currently serenading my neighbours with the joy that is "Three Lions". They had the soccer blaring last night... its only right that they should now be subjected to one of the best songs ever written with football in mind. Even if it is written about the English team.

But let's face it, any song that mentions Gary Lineker has got to be a classic.

I love Gary Lineker.


Stop laughing Ems. You know I always had a thing for Gary and his ears. Not to mention his crisps.

I thought it was normal to alphebetise one's cd collection.


I used to know this guy whos non-fiction was dewey categorised. All his books were also covered in plastic. (his mother was a librarian)

Snaps for all three of us...

OCD certainly does rock.

And your mate who Dewey'd his non-fiction sounds like my perfect man Elaine. Was he cute?

I actually managed to catch a performance of "An Evening with Gary Lineker" but alas Gary wasnt part of the cast. They were kicking stuffed bunnies into the crowd and I caught one! You just jogged my memory.

no, he turned out to be a philandering junkie.

sorry. If I find another who isn't, I'll let you know (if I don't snap him up first)
