Sucking my thumb AND biting my fingernails, swearing, drinking WAY too much coffee for a 12 year old girl, postitioning part of my flute wrong, not puting the bar down on the chairlifts, and switching from cursive to printing in the middle of an essay.

When I always leave a room, I always leave everything on (lights, T.V., stereo). Also, I always wait to the last second to do any school work.

biting my finger nails, cracking every crackable bone
in my body, slouching, being a smartass at the wrong
moments, using malopropisms, procrastinating, using
profanity, losing my temper too quickly, being critical,
cheating in school, drinking, being insensitive, and lying
to get myself out of trouble, which only makes things
worse. wow--I have a lot of bad habits. I'm feeling
kind of guilty now. :crazy:

cracking my knuckles, every 5 seconds, i know it's bad....but i can't stop. i have a tendency to pick my lip...lol...but i've loaded up on chapstick and i've started wearing lip gloss and i never pick it anymore, i also say things like outta the blue, that have nothing to do with whatever is going on around me..like i'll yell "ducky" all of a sudden. i'm a real spaz...i ran into a trash can today....it was standing there...just waiting for me. I'm a REAL blonde, like the biggest. I'm really obsessive over nancy and division and ppl get bothered by it, i watch too much tv, I complain too much, I get hurt all the time, even though I know I'm gonna get hurt, I do it anyway. Ummm...that's about it...i think. :D

Gather round youngsters, this old guy is giving some advice...

I smoked cigarettes for over ten years.
Don't smoke.
Quitting is a tough thing to do.
But it is worth it.

I stick needles through like the top of the skin of my fingers... It's hard to explain. No pain or blood, I'm not a maschocist(sp?), LoL! I dunno why I do it, I somtimes I don't even realise it.

I grind my teeth, and chew on the inside of my mouth until it's REALLY sore.

I read really fast at auditions, because my mind reads so fast, and I don't notice because I'm nervous.

I pull tags off of beanies babies.. I dunno why but I can't stand having tags on them, and then I regret it after ward.

You want a list of my bad habits? Jeez, this could take all day!

* I crack just about every bone in my body all the time
* I drink too much and I drink alone
* I swear
* Slouching
* I leave important things to the last minute
* I'm lazy
* I can be extremely sarcastic
* I never call people when I say I will
* I bite my finger nails and........I also bite my toe nails (yes, I know that's repulsive)
* I bite the inside of my mouth, sometimes so badly that I end up with blood running down my chin!
* If I'm ever in a situation when I have to choose between watching TV and something else, TV will always win no matter how important the other thing is
* I lose my temper pretty easily

One thing I will say though - I did give up my worst habit. I stopped smoking. I can honestly say that, healthwise, I've never felt better so I really recommend that all you smokers try'n give up.

Well now I can't think of too many bad habits because I'm an angel :joke: but if you asked my parents or my roomies they could probably come up with a long list.

I used to drive too fast but now I don't. Ok sometimes I do but hardly ever anymore.

I procrastinate on almost everything.

I'm a bit lazy.

I have a bad habit of bitching about my roommates behind their backs to my other roomies! :lol: It's all good though....they often have the same complaints and talking about them helps us release some steam and chart a plan of action about approaching the offending roommate. Of course sometimes I wonder how much they all sit around and complain about me! HA!

I leave lights on when I leave a room.

I leave dirty dishes sitting around for days on end.

I wash my hands too much. I'm not like obsessive compulsive or anything, but I do probably wash them more than I should, so sometimes I get dry skin because of it. I dunno, I just don't like the feeling of dirty hands I guess. And sometimes it can't be avoided, like when I'm at work cleaning up animal poop or animal blood, or working with chemicals.

That's all I can think of for now. Oh and I swear too much, especially in front of my mother which causes her great consternation. Gee I guess I'm not as perfect as I thought I was :D ;)
