Procrastination and nail biting. Lisa, stop stalking me, do your studying!

speaking without a filter

Sometime in the past year (probably work-stress related), I started unconsciously clenching my teeth and rubbing them together--not actually grinding them, but not that far off either. When I catch myself doing it, I stop myself, but I feel like that's probably only 20% of the time. Gah.

Eating chocolate instead of broccoli. Oh, wait a minute. That's a GOOD habit.

Let's see -- losing my temper with my kids would have to be the one habit I'd love to get rid of. Yelling without a filter.

Saying the not-so-obligatory "sorry" to people. Happens because I feel I'm completely at fault for something, even when it fact I'm not.

Biting my nails. Grinding my teeth. Mumbling. Cracking my knuckles and my neck.

Ooh.. My mom would like me to get rid of the neck-cracking. But it feels sooo good....

Lisa: Oh that it does, especially after long hours in front of the computer or writing something. How could anyone not do it. :)

Sleeping very irregularly.

EDIT: By that I mean the times and durations of rest, of course.

Definitely procrastination. But it works out because I seem to do my best work under pressure.

clenching my teeth, smoking, caffeine (or is that a good thing??) Oh and there's that pesky drug thing. (totally playin y'all)

Oh gosh... I'm sure I have a lot of bad habits! LOL

Eating food with too much salt would be the worst though. That's a horrible habit. I have high blood pressure so I have to watch how much salt I eat now. It sucks because I'm Mexican and Mexican food has lots of salt! Grrr...

Oh well...

Procrastination and the neck-cracking. Old football injury makes my neck sound like an AK-47. But it does feel good.

Old football injury makes my neck sound like an AK-47.

Useful in a hostage situation I should imagine.

I have a nervous habit where I simply cannot stop myself from picking at my right thumb. It's the only finger on my hands that is covered past the knuckle with a thick callus.

It drives me mad and I've tried covering my thumb but I pick my way through whatever I cover it with.

9Rules Notes. 'nuff said. :)

word.

ah yes, i'm totally becoming a note whore. on top of being a man whore.

The main problem I have is jigging my leg up and down under tables when I'm nervous or bored in classes. (tapping the ball of your foot really fast)

lol Matthew....i've never done that, and when I try, I cant.... :)

@ Josh - you're a whore in general, just admit it....'note whore' too much!

Matthew, I do that all the time, although it's not when I'm nervous or anything. I have no idea why I do it.

Chewing my labret piercing (lip piercing) is about my worst one, I do intermitant nail biting but have that almost under control. My labert on the other hands gets a fair bit of chomping so much so I often have to take it out when concentrating as I apparently sound like a metal washing machine on over drive... not attractive.

I drink coffee (a lot) and smoke so really I guess those are bad habits - maybe more addictions than habits.

Let's see, habits I'd love to drop:

* Eating too much salt, like BonitainPink. It just tastes good. Apparently, though, according to my doctor, my high blood pressure doesn't care how good salt tastes. I need to cut back.

* Nail biting. I can't count how many times I've ended up with a mild infection on a fingertip from my incessant fingernail biting.

* Snapping out witty remarks at people before thinking if they'll come across as funny or hurtful. Like others above, I need a filter for my mouth, or perhaps some way to slow it down. Duct tape might be a solution, but I'd look rather peculiar.

* Going all out on a new hobby or project just to lose momentum later on and basically quit. Really, *really* need to stop doing this.

Playing with my nose while sitting around. Not necessairly picking, just scratching or stuff like that. I guess becoming very aware of the habit is the key.

I used to say 'snap' a lot. When I went on vacation with my brother (bigger than I) I had him punch me every time I said it.

Broke that habit pretty quickly.

I go with procrastination.

I'm bad with money. Like...bad bad.

/betting issues.

Bad habits galore, here. Smoking and drinking too much coffee are on the list. Shopping at garage sales and thrift stores when I know I don't financially need to. Wait! That's too much fun to call an addiction or bad habit! I need to smile more and not be so very intense all the time.

i like red meat too much. As well as fast food. I've cut back on smoking and drinking, I don't do drugs, I drink water, but I can't let go of those food vices.

eating late at night, and not running everyday like i used to.

The result....... my significantly thicker ass that has been continually growing thru my college experience.

Oh yeah, and drinking too much, smoking while im drinking, and the craving to smoke a bowl every once in a while. I wish i could wake up and have that part of my life in moderation. Hmmmm, maybe this is why my ass is thicker..... =)

@stefani - Yea, I'll admit it, I'm just a plain old whore. I don't do too well at hiding that one.

nail biting and expresso drinking. And probably too much salt on my chips! :)
Ah, and wierd sleep schedule.

I have no bad habits... I do everything well. ;]

fray, it's not nice to lie! That's a bad habit :)

If I don't acknowledge it is it a bad habit...?
