What brings out the Gollum in you?

My watch.
I have had several over the years so it's not a particular one but I have to have my watch. I have to know what time it is. I wear it to bed most nights so it has to be glow in the dark hands or at least press a button for light (loved when indiglos got invented) has to be a face- I hate digitals.

It has to be a buckle, leather or fake leather band, medium size, water proof-when I go swimming or shower.
The kinda weird thing is I have always put it on my right hand, I'm right handed. I think that came about when I was in school. I'm writing and I just have to glance at my wrist instead of the time consuming task of looking at my left hand.

I remember my first watch...momma would not let me have one until I learned to tell time, not even a digital(that's cheating) and it took forever. Finally, on my 8th birthday when I could tell time my grandmother gave me a watch. All white, leather band with buckle, digital (she didn't know any better), oval shaped face with gold print around the edge that looked like braid...the obsession began.

I hate when it gets lost. I do have clocks everywhere in my house (3 in the kitchen, 2 in the living room etc) but if my watch gets lost, I will tear apart everything to find it, I have to have my security band on.

I don't get bent out of shape if I'm late for something and I'm rather a laid back kind of person but I have to know what time it is at all times!

Okay, I think I've confessed enough about my craziness.
