so since he did this in his blog, so will I. Except I put down six habits, since one of my habits is to never follow instructions to the T.
----------------------
Here are My 6 Weird Habits...
1. I rip off my fingernails and toenails instead of clipping them. I hate the sound of a clipper, and I hate the feeling of metal on my nails. In fact, I can't handle an emery board either. So the idea of a manicure or peticure is PURE TORTURE to me. My grandmother used to clip my nails when I was a kid visiting her and she'd clip them way to close to the quick and I would bleed. So I'm pretty sure that's where that phobia comes from. So I'd rather just rip them off, then clip them. At least I don't bite them right?
2. Need a fan on when I sleep. It can be FREEZING in the apartment with icicles on my futon frame and I will STILL turn on a fan. I like air on my face and the white noise it creates. I've been like that since I was a kid.
3. MUST shower/bathe before bed every night. I'm not sure why, but I will toss and turn all night long if I don't bathe right before I hit the hay. I get all itchy and twitchy and I'm a wreck. I think the smell of Ivory or Irish Spring soothes my brain. I'm not a compulsive hand washer or anything like that. But I MUST lather, rinse, repeat before bed no matter if I'm in a hotel, my own place, visiting someone else, or even camping.
4. I bite my lower lip when stressed. I do it so much that my dentist from awhile back commented that I really need to knock it off because I could be builing quite the germ factory if it continues. I hate the taste of blood (and I call myself Goth? Sheesh.), so it's not like I want to bite like Bela, but I really do it without realizing it. I also clench my teeth CONSTANTLY, to the point that I think I chipped my tooth a little this week. Ugh.
5. I PROCRASTINATE. Seriously. That's the best thing I do. I put off everything. Even fun stuff like hanging with friends, or interviewing a band I like, or working on a bean portrait of Sid Vicious. I can't help but get on Livejournal to type weird crap like this, or read Fark.com or boingboing.net, or clean out my email inbox/outbox, or re organize my CD collection. I just can't seem to get started on anything EARLY. I wait until the last day to do it. Apparently I keep forgetting the word DEAD is in deadline.
6. I compulsively straighten framed art on walls. Our bossman George Lucas has his entire vintage movie poster collection at Skywalker, Big Rock and now the Presidio and I can often be seen roaming the halls of our offices straightening his art whenever I see it slightly askew. It got to be so bad that my coworkers bought me a level just so I could get it PERFECT. I;m pretty convinced they let wild dogs roam the halls over the weekends (like the mall dogs in The Simpsons) and that's why the art is always crooked. Yes, I'm that big of a spaz.
YOUR TURN.
