What do I Love to Do?

Well, I knew how to answer this question right away because I love to do just about everything.  I know I want to be more specific than just saying everything but I didn't really want to list everything either because it would take forever to list them all.  It took me a bit but I came up with I love learning by reading and experiencing.  I seem to be a knowledge junkie.  I love gaining information about anything and everything.  I do seem to learn best thru experience.  The combination of both a knowledge junkie and learning thru experience means I want to read everything I can read about any topic and I want to do those things!  The more I read the more I want to learn!  So I guess I do have a lifetime to read and learn.  I never want to stop learning!  I believe I know where my need to learn comes from, my OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder).  My need for knowledge come from my need to be perfect.  I feel that I have to know everything in order to be perfect.  I know I will never achieve this but yet I still strive for this need to know it all.  If I don't I feel like i have failed with it.  Then I start getting down on myself, especially for not reading more to gain that knowledge.  I will say that there is one thing I like to do almost as much as learning and that is crafts, especially cross-stitching.  Whether it's scrapbooking, or doing paint-by-numbers or my stitching, i just seem to get so lost in crafting and being creative!  I have to concentrate so much on what I am doing that I can't really think about much else.  This does bring up another example of how my OCPD affects my thinking.  I feel that, take stitching for example, I need to do EVERY single pattern or project there is!  Do you know how many cross stitching patterns there are in existence?  Millions probably!  So this also stresses me out not having them all done.  Kinda crazy huh?!!
