    Fastidious Fiona grouped her M&M's by color, then ate them in alphabetical order, except for the blue ones, which she saved for a rainy day.

    In certain professions it’s a GOOD thing to be fastidious: A pre-launch rocket-systems checking engineer, for example… or a brain surgeon.

    Me, fastidious? No way. Exacting, precise, detail-oriented, persnickety, even fussy, maybe, but never, ever, call me fastidious!
