Habits

We all have habits we can't stop doin', sometimes no matter how hard we try. What habits do you have that you're aware of?

I have a lot. But a few are:

• making random beats on my computer's desk
• tapping when I'm not doing anything (somewhat like #1)
• biting my nails
• tapping my feet
• closing a door behind me
• ...and more.

I can't really think of that many right now. So I'll probably post more later.

I have a few habits:
1)I sing random songs when I play video games
2) I complain to mom that I'm bored, or hungry
3) I bug mom for the heck of it
I know I have more, I just csn't think of them right now.
Here's one: 4)During a show or movie when something happens and if mom's in the room, I usually ask her what she'd do.
More: 5) I get offended easily by jokes.
6: I look for something to eat a lot.
7) I like to sometimes shake my hand quickly, because it feels weird.

Hah, I think i'm like, borderline OCD or something. I've had lots of weird habits in the past. Some current ones include...

I scratch the, um, printed part of my thumb with the nail of my index finger. I just sit there. Scratching.
I close all my blinds, drawers, curtains (on my closet) etc. perfectly before I go to bed.
I tend to chew on my bottom lip.
When I'm playing keyboard, if I mess up, I start all over. I can never just keep going.
And I don't know if this is a habit or just the way I am, but I can't stand to have people upset with me. I feel like I have to keep apologizing and trying until they like me again.

I guess I've gotten better over the years.

Oh, well when I play the guitar I drool sometimes >.< please don't criticize.

Or when during a movie, I talk to the person next to me about the movie and what's going on. Alot of people tend to shooosh me. >.< I don't know I'm doing it.

> I have weird habits of just going off into my own little world occasionally....like Zoning out or something(yea I know I'm weird)
> Saying bad things about people when i don't mean them(I'll call them something bad, jokingly of course, but sometimes i don't mean to do it, but it comes out )
>Getting addicted to things(FRAPPES!!!! at the COFFEE SHOP!!!, Internet, etc.)
>I think I'm a little OCD about things as well

Thats all i got now...i'll have a new one in about 5 mins

-Popping my fingers
-tapping my desk
-grinding my teeth
-having everything be perfect
-and being a control freak

I play piano on an empty desk. It's a lot like the tapping thing only if if I were in front of a keyboard, it would be a song. A2 C2 B3 G A C bcb G2 E2. And that. Cannot forget that.
I sing weird things which bugs people (actual words, not notes to a song).
Due to my large volcabulary, my need to learn all I can, and the way I speak, I tend to rub how smart I am basically into their face. Like when Jon said that if you... um, I'll stop there. ops:
I'm sure I have more that I'm oblivious to.
Last Day of School For Me!! Whoohoo!

I keep time quite often. That is, I'll tap my feet, hands, fingers, pens, or anything else. I don't just stick to one speed or time signature as well; I'll often switch to different time signatures at the same tempo and whatnot. This doesn't sound so bad, and it isn't, but I probably look a little funny sitting around with my eyes closed, bobbing my head left and right, tapping away.

I pick my nose. It's a thing that's carried over from my childhood, and I haven't been able to unlearn it. I know that everyone does it, but I have a suspicion I do it more than anyone else.

I'm insensitive. This isn't so much a habit as it is a personality trait, but I can say incredibly ignorant things at the spur of the moment. A perfect example was when a peer of mine did a presentation on cancer and its psychological and social effects on the afflicted and their relations. During question period, I asked if there was a reason for selecting such a topic, and one of the presenters started to explain, then broke into tears. It's not that I meant to do such a thing, of course, but I tend to phrase things in a very cold way and open my mouth when I shouldn't. This leads to me looking like a jerk. This manifest itself just today, when someone in a couple of my classes but whom I'd never spoken to asked me to sign their yearbook. I asked them if they honestly even knew my name, and if they wanted to actually remember me the least bit, to which they responded "no."

I also crack my neck far too often. It's nearly a compulsive thing, and I have irrational fears of my neck breaking when I give it one more crack than it can take.

1}closing a door behind me (really bad for that)
2}i crack my bones alot
3}i also pick my nose alot lol,my worst one of all
i have been trying to stop this one
4}brushing my sideburns down with my fingers (working on this one to)
i do this so many times (sometimes) that my ears get cut up lol,under the hair

• I often zone out for hours at a time. (I once stared at a pen for 4 hours).
• Swearing, but I don't do that much anymore.
• Blasphemy, don't do that much anymore either.
• Cracking my knuckles, about once every 5 minutes. I've stopped that as well however.
• Picking my lips, to make them bleed. Stopped that as well.
• Singing, I make up a random tune and sing to it for hours on end. No harm with that one.

I'd say generally, I'm a better person now.

I bite my nails when I finsih tests or quizzes. Or when I'm bored.
I also have a habit of zoning out randomly.
Bad one, I crack my knuckles. >< I've been trying to quit for ages.

I really have no idea what I'm talking about.

I crack my fingers...

I play with my grad ring

Anything that has to do with my sports is super organized while my room and schoolwork is all over the place

I sometimes go in a book to study or for reference and start reading the whole thing for fun...

I drive unsafely fast when I listen to some perticular songs

Biting my nails. Filthy habit, which I've been cutting down on. My nails never look very good. I should just wear gloves.

Locking my door. I don't know why, but I'm a compulsive door-locker, for no apparent reason. I'll be sitting in my room playing video games or reading a book or something, and I'll still have the need to lock my door. I guess I just want my privacy.

Lots of driving habits. I hate switching lanes. If I know I'm going to turn left in 2-3 miles, I'll just stay in the left lane that entire time. If there's a really slow driver in front of me, I'll probably switch though. Also, I don't really speed, but I do accelerate a lot. When the light turned green, I hit that accelerator and then stop at 35 MPH. I'm probably killing the engine.

Collecting change in my wallet. I don't really consider quarters and dimes "real money," I guess. Because once I get them in change, I just quickly put it in my wallet and never really use it, and keep breaking the bills. At one point, I had over two dollars of change in my wallet. And I couldn't even close it anymore.

Taking my eyes off the road and my hands off the wheel.... to kill a mosquito.

Smiling, which isn't bad... except that I tend to do it when I'm not happy as well for some reason.

Not managing time on standardized tests... Just took the ACT today and it wasn't as bad as usual considering me and time.

Staying up too late, making myself incredibly sleepy.

Rising up too fast from a chair or from lying down, which makes me temporarily black out.

I've got quite a few habits actually...

- I tend to keep my head down when walking anywhere in public alone.

- I continually crack my knuckles, even if I'm not about to get into a fight or anything.

- I don't cut my toenails. I tear them. (Don't ask...)

- I smooth back my hair and/or simply push it around when I'm bored or nervous.

- In public I don't particularly pay attention to where I'm going, which sometimes leads to me running into doorframes and other people.

Okay, maybe not that many habits, but a few habits nontheless.

- I play with my hair when I'm feeling Nervous.

- I love to crack my Fingers, Neck, Spine and Elbows when it gets quiet enough for people to hear.

- I'm way too sensitive, and take things like jokes literally, and get easily offended.

- I can't stand people being mad at me, or peeved with me in anyway - and have a habit of apologizing for really minor things, like not watching the World Cup, when it came up in conversation.

I like to wave my hand to try to loosen it but I usually wander around in the kitchen trying to find something to snack on.
