Taylor Swift is counting down the time until her 18th birthday, which hits in December. She's getting an early start on the countdown because she's mildly OCD about major life events.

"Yeah, I'm really big into countdowns. That's the un-artist part of me. I really like to plan everything out. I'm really neurotic like that. My room is really clean and my closet is kind of scary, how organized it is. Countdowns are kind of my way to know when everything's coming up, and I have a schedule on my computer that I check obsessively. I'm really super-organized," Swift said.

Wow, she sounds like a total home-schooler. Anyway, this reminds me of all those creepy 18th birthday countdown sites for the Olsen twins.

You can look for Taylor in the current issue of People where she dishes the deets about her first demo tape, her chipmunk voice and her obsessive fans.
