It's not you, it's me. |
I'm not the OCD type, but I do appreciate related objects arranged neatly at 90 degree angles. Recently I found out this actually has a name, and it's called knolling. Knolling is the process of arranging related objects in parallel or 90-degree angles as a method of organization. | ||

I have to make a conscious effort NOT to do that when planting flowers and shrubs. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Are parallel rows bad somehow? | |||

How can you find anything that way? . . . . . Actually, I am organized also (or try to be). | |||

In landscape design, yes. | |||

Parallel, STRAIGHT rows in farming are easier to follow with the tractor, so you don't wipe out rows of crop by mistake. Curves or esses are harder as you have to pay more attention. | |||

Oh stewardess, I speak jive. |
White-space and spatial relationships are important to me, visually. Take the things on my coffee table, for instance... I don't so much care where exactly the things are on the table (say, a stack of magazines, a candle, the remotes, etc), but their relative spacing and alignment to each other and the tables edges will bug me if it's off kilter, so I catch myself fixing those sorts of things fairly regularly. It's like OCD-lite. | |||

One of my friends lives a fair distance from shopping, so he and his wife stock up on staples. The canned goods on the shelf in his basement are all in alphabetical order. Asparagus, beans, ... הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Ich bin ein Deutscher. Having things aligned neatly in a grid is in my genes. Preferably alphabetically and by size. I took a University of Maine Master Gardener course and our instructor about lost her mind trying to break me of the habit. Groupings Good. Geometric Arrangements (usually) Bad. Odd Numbers of Plants Good. Arrow-straight lines Bad. I must say since I've made the effort to avoid regimentation in my plantings, it DOES look better. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I used to have that problem, but after years of intensive therapy and a lot of hard work, I've made great strides in overcoming it. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

My wife and I have no artistic ability. Our landscaping plant beds would have all been set up in rows if we hadn't called in a pro. | |||
