bad habits?

[tld221]

Gross habits:

belching out loud. I always think no one can hear me. I really have to check it in public. I promise my mother raised me better than this. It's not like party boy loud, but small burps.

I don't think this is gross, but a little weird: I chew ice cubes. I've done it for years, and get really obsessed/crave it. The smell of a freezer, really cold air, or snow sometimes make my mouth water in the way your favorite food would. Mostly, I chew it by the tray, sometimes I buy it by the bag, and when I'm out I try to get a cup to go. I feel like I've talked about it before, but it's akin to folks who eat talc/powder/dirt.

It's terrible on my teeth and mouth. My dentist haaaaaaaaates me, outside of having no cavities or awful plaque.

On another note, I also enjoy burned food. Not charred to a crisp, but definitely dark. Mostly hot dogs and meats, but an occasional dark piece of toast or bottom of a bread or pastry too.

When I was a kid, my cousin and I used to spend summers together and chew ice cubes all day and everyday. I stopped because I could feel the impact on my jaws and teeth.

I can't stand people who pop their chewing gum in public. Popping bubbles and smacking the gum is inappropriate when you are in a setting in which some people may not want to hear that. There's a woman who pops her gum with her mouth closed during church service. She probably thinks no one hears it since her mouth is closed. She needs to realize that if she can hear it, that probably means others can hear it.

Speaking of, I don't like hearing people chew food and especially hearing their teeth touch when they chew. I have a very close friend whose mouth is shaped such that her back teeth pop when she chews. It drives me absolutely crazy. *pop pop pop* Swallow, dammit.

Hearing people's yawns and seeing their open mouth annoys me. I'm a quiet yawner and I cover my mouth when I'm not at home. I can't stand people who need to shout their exhaustion in meetings and at events. Attention whoring.

ok, you have officially reached the "Special" category. I lol'd at you fiending at the freezer.

I've chewed ice on occassion. Never knew it was bad for your teeth.

Foodwise, I try to avoid the end or "butt" pieces on loaves of bread...other than that I'll have to think about this and maybe post back.

Procrastination.
Swearing (I don't think this is at all classy, so I'm trying to cut down on it).
Nail biting.
Oh, and my boyfriend says I constantly twirl my hair when I'm nervous. Lol.

Well I suffer from Trichotillomania (chronic hair pulling) and Dermatillomania (chronic skin picking). Both are in the newest DSM. They are types of OCD's. They are recognized disorders (like depression, bipolar, etc...) so I'm not sure I would actually classify them as "bad habits".

One major true bad habit I suffer from is procrastination. OMG I am the BIGGEST procrastinator.

Pet peeves:

When people talk loudly.
When people laugh loudly.

Yep. Guess who's gotten an extension on her taxes for the past five years? And is currently waiting for a call from her accountant for this years?
