  Julia: I guess when it comes to some things maybe yeah. Like sometimes I get insomnia 2 and I know it's because my brain is worrying about stuff.
  Todd: Right. You just can't let it go?
  Julia: Yeah, which is kind of why I took up yoga and meditation 3 because just calming down those, you know, those thoughts that are just going crazy round in your head. So I would be a worry wart if it wasn't for my yoga practice. I think the yoga helps me keep my mind calm.
  Todd: Oh, cool.
  Julia: But I have that natural tendency I think.
  Todd: OK, so what about things around the house? Are you a clean freak?
  Julia: No. No, I am messy, like ridiculously messy. I don't see mess. I don't see it. It's like a blind spot.
  Todd: So you're a slob?
  Julia: Yes, kind of, yes and this is the one thing that drives my husband crazy because he's very tidy, he's very clean, very neat.
  Todd: So you guys are yin and yang?
  Julia: Yeah. He likes things to go in the proper place and he likes things to be tidied up, put away and for him it's very, it's a sort of therapeutic 4 thing. It's, I guess, the mirror of his mental state. If there's a mess going on he feels uneasy so he needs to tidy up in order to kind of be focused and calm. I'm kind of the opposite. If everything's too tidy and neat, I get a bit freaked out. I like, I'm comfortable in mess, very comfortable in mess.
  Todd: Comfortable in chaos 5?
  Julia: Yeah.
  Todd: Well, that leads us to the next one and maybe this relates to your husband. Is he a control freak?
  Julia: Yes. Absolutely. He is, yes.
  Todd: So can you explain what a control freak is?
  Julia: A control freak is someone who likes to be in control, has to be in control all the time of all things.
  Todd: And if there's not, if there's disorder 6 or something left?
  Julia: It causes him stress. It causes him stress so just simple things like maybe like a house guest. While he's a very friendly and generous and warm person, having an extra person in the house makes him uneasy because it's a factor that it's out of his control.
  Todd: So how about other things like are you a, like a video game junkie or TV junkie?
  Julia: There are certain games that I have to take off my phone because they will eat away my time.
  Todd: Right, like Angry Birds and stuff like that?
  Julia: Stuff like that. The ones that, just really simplistic ones, things like Tetris and putting squares in boxes and Bejeweled where you change, moving things around. Those kind of games I can get very readily addicted 7 to so I have to, I have to be careful. I had like a brief intense fling with TechM, like those fighting games. I was really into fights, fighting games and playing.
  Todd: Wow, that's hard core.
  Julia: Yeah, but it was shortlived, and I felt like it was an unhealthy obsession 8.
  Todd: Yeah, you can, yeah.
  Julia: But yeah it was great. I enjoyed it when I did it. It was fun.
