Stoooooopid Habits
by when i was in roosevelt elementary school (rahway, nj), we had stiff straws with flimsy paper wrapping. you could easily tap them on the table and the straw would pop through the top of the wrapping.
one time, i was drinking my milk, and sucked up some paper. turns out some of the wrapping ended up in the straw. UGH! so, i started a little habit: once i took the wrapping off the straw, i would blow through the tube to clear out any paper. there were plenty of times that i blew out little paper fragments.
the problem is this: that was 20-something yrs ago, and i'm still blowing through my straws! i mean, you can't even tap straws on the table anymore without them callapsing or bending; and when they bend, they end up with a slit in the middle, and you can't drink through them anyway. so, i've been tearing the paper off the straw. surely there's no paper stuck inside. but i'm still blowing through the stupid things!!!
so....
- is this a stupid habit?

I tend to eat food, like 2 - 4 times A DAY!
I tend to urinate a few times a day capped off with a nice number dos (equis)
I went to that elemntary school to
I tilt my head when I smile in pictures.
HAHAHAHA!! that's so funny to me for some reason...
they say tilting your head makes you look more attractive (true dat!)
And somehow I knew that without really know it and that's why I always do it. Though, I sometimes tilt so much I look like I'm gonna fall over.
i did that for the longest time! eventually i stopped though because i hated how i looked doing that.
i have a bad habit pertaining to this journal title...I say STOOPIT. and no matter how much i try i just cant seem to get rid of it...
ain't no thang, girlfriend...just keeps it real, aiiiight?
when i was little before i said anything, i would say it really quitly to myself to make sure it would make sense. i tried to whisper it, but evreyone could here me. so basicly i would walk around repeating myself twice in a row. "hi, how are you?" a little louder "hi,how are you?"
Heather, that's honestly the cutest thing I've ever heard. I just used to never talk. Then one day I started and haven't stopped yet.
what do you mean, "when you were little?" you still do that you weirdo!
yeah heather, you do still do that.... Toby just brought that up at soccer the other day!! hahaha And linds, i can't imagine you ever NOT talking.
I know, it's hard for me even to believe. I'm just making up for lost time.
i havent done that in forever! since i was like 9. i feel like the biggest idiot. hahaha
mine actually pertain to the shower, which in my family, is the most important room in the house. I always got the floor all wet and left my clothes in there... yea... baaaaad habit.. but i broke it... sometimes
Back about 4 years ago, I had this stupid habit where i would take poland spring bottles and fill them with evian water. I used to do this about 5 times a day. Until one day an evian water delivery guy saw me outside in my underwear pouring evian water into a poland spring bottle. He came up to me and first asked " What are you doign outside on the side of the highway in your underwear with no car near you" I said " I got dropped off " He said " Thats cute " I said " Yea whatever are you gay ? go away "
He said " No, i'm pretty much straight " I said " PRetty much? there's no pretty much.. there's no fence.. you're on one side or the other buddy " He said " Well i'm on the good side" I said " cool" So I ran away.
Ty, you are such a weirdo!
what are you talking about... your the weirdo. you weirdo
my new bad habit is that when i see a PARAGRAPH by ty, i stop after the fifth word or so, and decide it's not worth reading. HOWEVER, since this is my journal entry, i will continue on and see what it's about...that is all.
just finished reading it: *rollseyes* that figures...i shoulda stayed with the gut instict...
what is wrong with that story? so goood. i need to be a short story novelist.
that's my point: you should write short stories; not journal comments that appear to be genuine, when in fact, they are anything BUT; you malaysian!
this is weird, and i think it all relates back to a mild form of OCD....sometimes i count things without even realizing it...like if i'm walking down steps or something...i just count them!! WEIRD! its either OCD or cause my piano teacher always made me count time w/ the metronome...(for YEARS)...hmmm....
haha...i do the same thing; and with the 'piano teacher' reference, i remembered that i always check the Sing Praises to Jehovah songs for proper 'hold note' notations. i even penciled some in on songs that have it missing. (don't u hate when u don't hold a note long enough, then continue with the rest of the song...and you're the only one moving on, cause everyone else is holding the note out...do-ya get my drift, sweetheart?)
I sing to myself a lot, no matter where I am. I could be in an A&P, walking down the aisle, just singing whatever song is on my mind. People look at me like I'm nuts. oh well.
thats not a stupid habit. sheesh.. who doesn't sing loudly when just walking around. people do it all the time. funny you mention it though.. the other day i was in an italian pizzeria odering 48 delicious cluck-u chicken wings.. and i need a girl part 2 came on so i started singing kinda loud i guess and danced a bit. the other customers looked at me... with ENVY. they so wanted to be me
i make up songs and sing them to myself semi-outloud. and i talk to myself sometimes. it all started when i was a little kid playing with my blocks...
my name is matt... i have some blocks, i'm gonna build the best block tower in the whole wide world! ... something along those lines
I have this weird thing where I like things to be even. When I was little, in school, I used to have to step over all the black tiles (which came after every two green ones) in the hall way when I walked. And I'd have to step with my right foot first, then my left one.
that's a scary one...you should have that checked out :) jk
I just thought of one sorta like that, if i'm walking either next to someone i know, or there's someone i don't know sorta near me also walking, i try to walk in sync with their steps, like when they step with their right foot, i step with my right foot, so we're the same. OK now everyone's gonna think i'm really messed up.
yeah you are, thats just wacked. I may think i left my doors unlocked like 7 time and recheck it but i dont walk in sync with people you wacko!
Ummmm... I do the same thing at times... just so we look uniform...
its so weird...everyone has OCD! haha well, not really unless it starts interfering with ur life.
OCD and ADD
i definitely do
you all are weirdos. go get some help.
at this time, i'd like to draw your attention to comment #20. thankyou.
whats wrong with that.. dancing in public is considered weird ? i dont think so. you're jealous. you want to be me. you want to be a male asian.
i'm utterly in love with you.
like milk and stuff?
who said anything about the malaysians?
Legs, remember your "What? Oh." habit?? Legs used to say that after EVERYTHING whether she heard you or not. It was so annoying!!!!!!! She finally stopped after I killed her one day.
oh snap. remind me not to say " what oh?" around you . i dont want to be killed yet still able to write on ezabel
the other day i was outside putting the beach chairs away when i started debating to myself different materials to be used for chairs. the conversation with myself went something like this.
" well if you used cotton chairs it would be more flouncy and easier to sit on but then you would hafta have a lot of cotton to support weight. but what if you wanted it for the beach? then all the sand would get in it. but sand is an exfoliant for your skin and would be nice but who needs to exfoliate their butts? so cotton would be kinda odd for a chair but i could see where the softness would have its benefits"
so i am talking to myself like this for 10 minutes while i'm working and then i turn and look and my neighbor is looking at me dumbfounded like huh? and goes, continue because this is entertaining.
i'd hate to find out your process for buying toilet paper!
i learned a new word today: "flouncy"
thanks, malibu!
actually funny you should say because i was in the supermarket the other day and looking at the toilet paper and you know in the quilted northern commercials they have the ladies sewing in extra sheets and stuff, well i was thinking do they live in the same community as all the other commercial little people. is one of them dating the keebler elves? i think the one girl is the wife of snap of snap, crackle, and pop. but would their children immediately be grown in order to sell other products. i wonder if ceral crunches on them? these are just some of my odd thoughts while i shop for toilet paper.
hmmm.. i guess i could see that happening or.. maybe they could go out with Stewart Little!
that should make a great story!
going along with the straws, my dads best friend took us to lunch with the CO when i was little and showed me how to make all the paper straw bunch up & then you take it off and add little drops of water and it moves as if it is a snake. the CO was not impressed and my dad is ready to kill his friend because EVERY time we go out to dinner, we do it. 8 years later.
One time after a meeting, abuncha of us went to the local Friendlys and had a big ole party there. And by the time we left there was like a layer of spit balls all over the place... i said we should clean it up... cause we... (well IIII felt bad) so i made the guy who started it clean it all u p
what? i didn't clean them up!
yea... you ran away like a little girl, i had john preston do it...
john sounds like the little girl for listening to YOU!
actually, he had no choice, i was his ride home.. haha
that's just perfect!
haha, what on your banana bike?
