Compulsion

Last night I admitted that I rub Odin on my cheek sometimes despite the fact that a thin, irritating layer of cat hair and dander immediately accumulates in my nostrils when I do this. There it remains, until it finally itches enough to sneeze out, usually sometime the next day druing work. Then I go home and do it all again. I just look at him and say "Aw, look at your little cat face. Let me now apply it to my clean, human face." I've just never had a pet I could hold before, I guess. I don't even know if I'm actually allergic to cats, since I think most anyone would sneeze should they voluntarily apply cat hair directly to the inside of their nostrils. You'd think I would take a lesson from this, but no.

Why am I incapable of learning?
