I’ve even re-written some blue-ink notes in black just to restore order.

I get so nervous and have to take it down or it’ll bother me to the point where i’m freaking out instead of eating. The roll of paper towels on our table is a big problem for me. At school we sit in tables in my art class, we were making artwork out of recycled items and someone from my table brought in a tall cheez it box and kept teasing me by not letting me take it down and putting it right in front of me. I don’t know what it is about it, but it just makes me really nervous.

Then I close one eye and try not to let the spot hit anything like a telephone wire, building, or anything solid. I’ll switch which eyes are closed or open to make the spot appear to “jump” across wires, and I’ll also move my head to change the angle I see it at to avoid it intercepting with any objects.
