Face the facts, you're OCD

I have said before, I am a believer in the Universe talking to you... well not actually speaking, not really a voice, but smacking you in the face over and over again until you get the point. So the point right now seems to be OCD and patience.

My dog's shoulder problem was called an OCD. Which at the time I thought was funny. Even though the shoulders medical problem is not at all similar to the OCD we are accustomed to, it seems the dog is developing some typical traits of the mental, actual OCD. He will not leave the damn injury alone. He is obsessively licking and scratching his incisions. In a constant battle of wills, I now have the dog wearing not only a t-shirt to cover said area, but also a sock, taped on the foot he uses to scratch. Before long the little darling will be dressed from head to toe. I know this is surprising, but I do not have the patience for this... why can't he just leave the damn thing alone?

This obvious push from the Universe was not enough to get me to pay attention. I posted my screenplay on Inktip.com today. Fabulous site, I wrote a log line and synopsis and attached a PDF file with the actual SP. Within 30 minutes I had a couple of hits. You can actually view, who looks at your logline, synopsis and screenplay. Now, what do you know, I am obsessed! Every five minutes I have to look. I need to know, who's looking. I NEED TO KNOW!! I want to know who the companies are, so I have to google them. I want to know why they are not viewing the synopsis. I want to know why two of the companies came back twice.

In my head of happy places, I think within a couple more minutes, two or three of these companies are going to call. They are going to start a bidding war and within a day or two, Wade can quit his job and I will be an official writer of movies. I will buy a new Mercedes convertible and we will live the happy life writing away contentedly on my little lap top. I love my happy place.

I can't see why the Universe keeps giving me reasons to explore my OCD and the lack of patience that is abundant in my being, I think it's just mean spirited.

I would really like to tell you more, but I can't wait anymore, I need to go check the website...
