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 ;)

hehe I have a coffee addiction too :) Yes, smoking is gross BUT it goes wonderful with coffee *sigh*

Gross... what is it with that word? Something fashionable that will go away with the next generation? Is it derived from German where it means "big"?

Jul-14-2006 10:05

My bad, this is SSSooo not gross :)

So many smokers, maybe we can all start a support group with Nikki running it....I do that, I bite my nails, no husband so I nag my friends and coworkers...as a matter of fact, take one from every post on here and I probably have it....

I have a huge phobia of spiders...all shapes and sizes! i run and scream at even the smallest ones. :)

Although I do not mind getting dirty (country girl here) i cannot stand the feel of mud in between my toes! like when you are in a river/lake and the mud seeps between your toes...ahhh that just drives me crazy! no clue why though. lol

and i say "lol" way too much! :)

fear: rats!!!!
bad habit: too much annoyed in traffic

I also smoke but consider the social pressure around me as a challenge :)

Fear: Rats, snakes, and spiders.
Bad Habit: I'm not telling you!!

badass: every rat you have ever thought about entitles you to 1800 cigarettes.

Ooooh Serena Barton's bad habit is double-funky-mysterious! Let's all use peer pressure to make her say it!

*Pushes her into a mud puddle and screams that no-one will like her if she doesn't fess up*

Does it involve gerbils?

bumping this cause I thought it was funny.

and apparently (according to the artist formerly known as Mrs. Patty) my lips move when I'm thinking about what to say. Aaaand it's wintertime (kinda...still no snow in Toronto really)...during which I develop a seasonal phobia of touching anything metal, because of the ridiculous amount of static electricity my body generates with the dryness.

Thinks that's funny? Do ya? HUH? Yeah, you try being terrified of a doorknob, then we'll see what's up!

Seriously *zzzap* it really hurts...
