i think that you would have to have other symptoms as well to have OCD. but i do have OCD and collect things compulsively. i primarily collect anything with blue roses--sculptures, pictures, etc. i also love anything geisha. i have a costume and several other things. see, for me, these things are symbols. the blue rose came from the play The Glass Menagerie. it is about the beauty and terribleness of life intertwined. the symbol of the white face comes from two places--Queen Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen and the geisha. sort of a am i a virgin or a slut sort of thing. i used to have a big problem with that. but i still love my symbol of the white face as being both.
