Bittersweet Candy Bowl

+Everyone has bad habits. I know that I have a problem with skipping appointments whenever I’m feeling down. I also have a bad habit of smacking my gum. Not to mention the short temper that I have in real life. I’m so much more mellow, so to say, online…

Anyways, what are your bad habits? Have you tried to correct any of your bad habits? Did you succeed?

Like, when I was younger, I had a really bad habit of biting my fingernails. I fixed it by wearing gloves a lot. Eventually, I stopped altogether.

Your turn.

Derailing threads. Using variations of the word “dick” in polite conversation. Inappropriate non-sequiturs. Chronic masturbation.

Helping Jerk derail threads, nail biting occasionally, lip biting till they bleed, being a bitch when ever I get tired.

And the first bad habit you can think of involves me as an enabler. That’s so awesome!

It’s true though, hey Gabe, what’s with the + at the beginning of your posts?

It’s a plus sign. You use it when you want to add things.

+Actually, I believe that a physical action like typing the plus sign will subconsciously help prevent me from being too depressing on the internet and divulging tons of privy information. I believe that I have a problem with sharing too much about my personal life on the internet. Sure, I may not be happy, but it’s not like everyone has to know the cause of my unhappiness.

And that’s why I’m adding plus signs to my posts.

Oh okay, well keep on being positive then!

I do that too if I don’t take anti-depressants. As far as choices go, I’ve never regretted that one.

+…. Can we get back on topic, please?

Hey we full on warned you of this Gabe, but yeah sure. Bad habits, they’re bad.

+ARGH. I GUESS IT’S UP TO ME.

When I had really long bangs, I had a bad habit of playing with them…. That’s fixed now, though… and now I can have long bangs again~

Another hair-related bad habit that I used to have… I used to pull out my hair. Like, all the time. I actually had a small bald spot during part of middle school.

The least depressing bad habit of mine is probably arguing with people when I don’t really have an opinion on the subject. I just take “thought thrives on conflict” a little too seriously and oppose them just to try to get to the truth. And sometimes I’m a complete yes-man and don’t like it.

I fidget. I never know what to do with my hands (giggity) and I generally just do random actions whenever I’m not focused on doing one thing. On the up side, I capture attention with my bomb shiggity hand gestures in conversation. Not too bad (I DON’T have OCD), and I’ve decided to start wearing ties so I can endlessly adjust them. Should do the trick.

Another habit is listening to Gabe spill his soup-ey goulash of a soul out to the internets. Schadenfreude, I guess.

I’m an asshole with other people (including my friends).

The funny fact is that i love beeing an asshole…

Haha, I chew on my knuckles when I’m thinking hard, also I stick out my tongue when I’m more of doing something with dexterity, something i picked up from reading Calvin and Hobbes at an early age.
And I probably take jokes too far with my close friends.

Whenever I don’t know anything about a subject, nor have an opinion on it, and I hear someone elses opinion, or argument on the subject, I usually either argue with them (and lose because i know nothing on the subject) or I take their opinion on that subject and make it my own. Then from then on, that is my opinion on that subject, for better or worse. I only realized this a few months ago, I am a very impressionable person.

Also I like to make fun of people with very immature jokes, like “your mom” or “that’s what she said!” or “that’s racist(when its clearly not)”. However I am 13 so it’s probably natural, and i will correct this when it stops being funny to me, and people around me.

Reading Forum Replies….

I don’t often think before I speak.

Its quite a bother sometimes

i bite the skin off my fingers

Ooh I do that too Snoothals.

snoothals what

Don’t argue with the pet name I just gave you. I shall now call you snoothals, got a problem with it?

no i dont really i was just wondering

@ Fizmat: No you’re not.

1) I used to pull apart pens and erasers for no particular reason, (probably related to Hannibal’s “fidgety” problem) I taught myself this trick to keep my hands occupied, it works and it’s a really cool trick.
2) Having roughly 1/5 of my posts compose of: *heavy sigh* (and not just on this site)
3) Getting distracted WAY too easily (for example I’m supposed to be writing an English paper right now&hellip

I undo sharpies, put a paper bag over my head and inhale them.
Also: erotic asphyxiation.

*heavy sigh*

Yes. Feed me.

BDSM.

Hmmm, bad habits… Arguing constantly, being blunt to the point and not really thinking before speaking (or rather, in this case typing)

Wow, bad habits….

When performing repetitious work, I tend to get easily distracted or zone out, even when using potentially dangerous equipment. (Meat slicer - “Oh hey, what’s that spot on the wall?” Steamer - “Can you check on the… GAH! MY FACE!” etc.)

Generally expressionless. I don’t smile unless I’m currently amused by something. This makes people think I’m constantly angry or something. (You angry? - No, I’m fine. Having a bad day, are you? - Nah, it’s been a pretty good day.)

I hate stupidity and will not tolerate it. I don’t mean the silly kind of stupidity like you’ll find on this forum or the occasional moment where your brain rebels, but the persistent, near-fatal kind of stupidity that makes you question evolution. No examples needed, I’m sure you all have seen quite enough of that in your lives already.

Explosive anger. It takes quite a lot to make me angry. The problem is, I’ll bottle it up until I transform into some raving, combative lunatic that makes the drill sergeant from “Full Metal Jacket” look like a pretty pretty pink princess who speaks of nothing but lollipops and ponies. I’ve actually had a customer complain about how I’ve yelled at one of my cooks because they heard me in the dining room from the back storage room (language, “nobody deserves to be yelled at like that”, yadda yadda yadda).

I don’t play with my cat nearly enough.

habbit of hitting people when they do stupid annoying things

i blush when i do any thing

i buy to many drawing books

and when i called to some one i go blank and call out watsically and everyone turns around then i say rudley wat you looking at then talk to the person i call watsicalli (AKA my friend)

and i have a big gudge against boys

snooths! yes I do that too!

Im an angry, bitter man. And i will lash out. With next to no warning.

Karo Poppins.
Practically perfect in every way.

@Jerk: BDSM is not a bad habit, it is a fetish. I’m not making a thread for our fetishes.

@snooths: I think several people do that, actually. I know I tend to bite them if there is skin loosely hanging from them… *shudder*

@Straw: POKE

@Taeshi: When I come to Australia and if I am not happy with the state of your living quarters, you do realize that I will probably end up cleaning up the place, right? That’s another bad habit of mine… I clean up other peoples’ houses, but I hardly ever clean up my own.

+I’m not wearing the uniform.

extremely indifferent,
disturbingly antisocial,
very cynical,
insult people for giggles.

Bite my nails
Cant approach people
freeze up while talking
too good a lover
tend to get distracted easily
tend to fall asleep in moving vehichles ( the bus, the train, cars etc)

+@Goldwulf: I have that problem as well. Usually I’m driving.

+Have you been kidnapped whilst sleeping in public yet?

woke up once when the driver slamed on the brakes to avoid a drunk driver, smashed my head against the metal hand rail on the back of the seat in front of me with a loud OWWW FUCCKKK! and had the entire busload of pasenger staring at me, was not pleasent

I have a bad habbit of caring to much about things people say are no big deal. I also worry a lot..

I don’t know if this is really a bad habit or not, but…

If there’s a glue bottle nearby with some dried stuff on the tip, I’ll be compelled to peel the junk off. Seriously, just sit one in front of me and I’ll go to work without really even thinking about it.

I kill people. Sure it’s my job, but the creepy part is that it feels more like a habit…
