Smaggle

Zit popping is delicious. My boyfriend has been gone for 8 weeks and just returned home today and I was HORRIBLY disappointed that he brought nary a pimple with him. Sigh.

Picking at the food I’m cooking. Sometimes I swear I’ve eaten a whole meal before I sit down at the table to eat the final product. Oh, and eating the left overs off my kid’s plate. Yep…just eating, and eating, and eating…can’t stop…*burp*.

I’m a terrible nail biter (its a nervous thing) but this kind of works out okay as playing violin you aren’t allowed any nails anyway…it’s when I run out of nails & start on my cuticles that its bad. Vikki x

I can never resist digging out ingrown hairs – I get some sort of demented joy out of it. But i shake my head at your leaving stuff out of the fridge… it’s one of my biggest pet peeves EVER. When I lived with my ex he used to do it every morning and I would always be left with warm, slightly sour milk for my cereal.

Swearing. I have a really foul mouth and while when I was younger I used to take pride in this. Now, as an adult I am really embarrassed about all of the “f*ck” ‘s” and “sh*t” ‘s” I drop into conversation! I realize that it makes me look like a complete and utter bogan but I find it hard to stop.

Um cracking my knuckles – do that all the time.

Other bad habits – I have been known to scratch the side of my big toes on the ducted heating vents but only in Winter. Apparently that was tinea lol.

I used to dance too so I get what you mean about all the cracking. I crack my knuckles ALL the time and my best friend HATES it. She says it makes her nauseous.

I used to bite my nails a lot, but one day I just decided to quit, and I did. Now I have lovely long nails xD

I used to snack a lot too, but since I’ve started planning my meals out I’ve cut that out. I have a small 100-cal snack at about 5pm and that’s that.

But I totally feel you on the pimple-popping. I know it’s wrong but it’s just so very tempting. I’m also really bad with scab picking. Once I had to have stitches in my foot and when they scabbed over it was all I could do to keep from peeling them off.

And the itchy nose thing. What is that?! I get that so often and it’s so, so, so annoying! I’m scared people think I’m a cokehead because I’m forever scratching my nose!

Where does one start? There’s pimple popping (still enormously satisfying in your ’30′s), swearing like a sailor, wasting fresh food (particularly fresh fruit), complaining about first world problems (see all previous) and hating one’s self for no good reason.

Picking my scalp.  It doesn’t itch, it’s just a compulsive thing that I do when my hands aren’t occupied.  It makes my hair flaky and oily.  BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO STOP.

I basically bit my nails for most of my life. It drove my mother mad and she would often tell me my fingers looked ugly that way. I stopped doing it a couple of years ago because I started really getting into nail polish. Not because of the whole “won’t bite your nails while they’re painted because it’ll taste bad” thing or the ” not biting your nails while they’re painted because it will ruin the look”. No, neither of those things stopped me when I was growing up and wearing $2 chemist black polish. I guess I figured if I were going to spend my money on polish as much as I was, I might as well have them look nice. Now don’t get me wrong, I find long nails strange on me, I just have those short, blunt nails. But they still look better without the bleeding, hang-nailed stumpyness I used to sport.

I guess apologising too much would also be considered a bad habit I have. People tell me all the time, but it just becomes more like a nervous tick the more they point it out.

I used to be super duper into scab picking until I developed an anxiety about infection and nipped that one in the bud really fast.

Picking the skin around my nails. Makes me fingers look messy and I don’t think it’s a hot quality.

I love pimple popping, I take great relish in savouring mine until they’re good and ready-it’s immensely satisfying. I would pop my boyfriend’s more often, but he loathes it and finds it very weird that I do so! (He says it reminds him of a chimp grooming ritual)

Leaving laundry until I’m down to the last 2 pairs of clean underwear, which is a nightmare as I like wearing matching sets

compulsively checking email, social networking sites and blogs when on deadline

I’m totally on board with the pimple-squeezing and bone-cracking.  I’m a fiend for both of those things and I do wish that I could stop.

I’m also really bad with overusing the word, ‘like’ when I’m talking.  I’m always, like, using it to fill in gaps when I , like, need a moment to think of the next thing I’m going to say.

Me too! I sound like SUCH a dipshit. 

Yes. Compulsive social networking is also one of my faults. 

This one fascinates me because it hurts. I have a friend who does it and I can’t understand why. 

I LOVE scab picking. But I hate sunburn picking. 

Never heard of that one. Nice.

Totally have to start on the one 100 calories snack. Love it. 

Urgh! Me too! I hate how much I swear. 

In grown hairs are awesome. 

It’s the same for me with being a jeweller!
