I really think that, as humans, our perfection lies in the so many little imperfections that make us different and unique. Among those are our habits and fears.
I am terrified of balloons! The sound of a balloon being blown up makes me jump up and hit the ceiling! Also, bees, maybe coz I've never been stung by one?

Bad habits: here's a nasty one: I'm a heavy smoker. And I nibble, not my nails, but the skin around them (I know, Yuck!)

So come on, let out the dirty secrets ;)

Bad habits: procrastination, procrastination, procras.....heck its to long to type one more time, I'll finish it later.

Fears: As soon as I post a thread to my favorites pick it gets hijacked. Also I am scared silly of heights, so much so that I hold my breath and nearly pass out when I'm up somewhere high. Not to smart.

Wow this thread has been re-hi-jacked!

Ok, bad habits: I'm too aggressive behind the wheel, I bite my nails and I am a bit of a pedant (can you even be a bit of a pedant?)

Fears: Nothing much, but large blood injuries are definitely off putting.

Bad Habit:

Thinking that moderators will actually keep threads on topic and not let people high jack them.

wow I've been missing out on so much here! Nice bumping Crunch!

I hear ya on the static electricity thing. It gets so bad sometimes that it happens BEFORE I touch anything in the winter and a scary thunder bolt shoots from the object to my hand! Yikes!

Still a faithful smoker, still nibble the skin around my nails, fear balloons even more now coz of all the holidays.

New bad habit: I talk to objects, and argue with them.

And Crunch, you can bump me anytime !

Someone should start a fetish thread! ... I'm gonna leave, before I start hijacking my own... *starts talking to the thread*

Okay. One little piece...just one.

I have an irrational fear of tornados. Have my whole life. I've never been in one, but I have always had terrible nightmares of them. Wake up shaking sometimes still from them.

Irrational fear: chopsticks. Not the kind you eat with, just the kind you stick in your hair.

That's what you get for reading too far into an Orson Scott Card series.
