When I throw myself into a project that interests me, I don't want there to be any mistakes. Inevitably, when there are imperfections, I sometimes act as though the world has ended.
It's no surprise to me, then, that Billy Joel's "I Go To Extremes" hasn't left my mind for four days--and will likely stay there for some time. I haven't actually heard the song in years, but my obsessing over things so routinely practically guaranteed that it would become an earworm.
Unlike the singer, however, I know why I go to extremes. I hate to be wrong--about anything.
