Bad Habits, Anyone?

As a young adult who is female, there are some things I just don’t talk about in public. These things are my little secrets that I laugh to myself about when I am lathering up in the bathtub, or just laying on my bed in the company of myself. I mean, come on now! I couldn’t possibly walk up to Jane with a big grin on my face, announcing the fact that I DO pick my nose. If that ever happened, it would come with a lot of issues and scenarios that I cringe when I so much as imagine them.

First, I’d have to bear the look of disgust she’d shoot me once I let those words “pick” and “nose” out. According to Jane’s rules, those two words have no business being in the same sentence. Second, I’d have to give a very detailed explanation about why I even engage in such a filthy habit, and as if that was not enough, I’d have to stress the fact that this is not a habit I engage in all the time, I only do it sometimes. By doing these, I again stand the risk of sounding very unbelievable so why bother? Like SweetBrown would say,Aint nobody gat time for dat.

What if Jane got to know that picking my nose isn’t exactly the only unladylike behavior I engage in? I know, I know and I am so sorry Jane, but no matter how many sweets I eat during the day, I can’t stand the thought of brushing my teeth at night. I spend at least 5 minutes doing my dental duties in the morning. Everything from flossing, to whitening, to using minty Listerine and just plain brushing, I do, but telling me to just pick up that toothbrush and scrub my teeth after a long day is like sentencing me to jail with the option of refusing to go- of course I’d choose the latter. lol.

… And now comes the father of all habits. The one that has not ruined my life… yet.. but has the potential to do so according to my mum. This last habit is not exactly unladylike , but it’s just something I struggle with daily. A round of applause for the devil called procrastination, shall we? Arggh, don’t even get me started. As long as there’s a tomorrow, there’s no way I’m doing it today. That it just has to be done tomorrow. There’s just something about tomorrow that makes it perfect for doing everything, today is never good enough. Today can never    be good enough, you can ask my mum.

Are there any bad habits you’ve never let anyone else know about but are willing to share here? Feel free, I’d be more than happy to get a good time out of reading them.
