minervasoloGround rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who you want to tag.
1. When I'm stressed, I chew my lip, and once it is ragged I pick at the dead skin, because I hate it. I figure people may have noticed this by now... I couldn't work out why sometimes I had good lips and something bad until I started learning to drive, and realised I was biting at my bottom lip throughout every lesson.
2. I also pull out bits of my eyebrows. This has nothing to do with stress, and is more of a since about how self-conscious I used to be about my eyebrows. It's just a fidgetting thing, really.
3. When talking to myself, I refer to myself in the plural. Even in my own head. It's almost always "we must remember to..." and so on. It's like there's the me that's talking and the me that's listening, but the talking me is aware that both of us have to be involved in everything. Or something. I think too hard about this, and usually don't stop until I realise I'm thinking about it in terms of "we think about me in terms of 'we' too often".
4. When I'm not involved in conversation, or required to listen to something, I'm usually day dreaming. While doing so, any lines the characters in my head say that are important or emphasised, I tend to say out loud, or at least mouth. This happens a lot in the shower, oddly. Either that, or I don't tend to notice I'm doing it except in the shower.
5. I pick at my nails. As soon as one of them snags, I have to pull the snagged bit off, even if it's so close to the finger it hurts. And then I have to pick at it until it's smooth again. Or dig out some scissors. I really hate having short thumb nails, but as evidenced at the moment, I still can't stop myself from making them short. This is another thing I do more of when stressed, so ragged bottom lip, short nails and no eyebrows is generally sign I'm under pressure.

You can now have 6 icons on a free account, instead of just 3. Oh the quandries! I need a new creative icon, since my previous one was more depressing than creative anyway, and I've got new depressing icons. I also need a generic fandom icon for places such as scans_daily and heartbart. Being the mod, a bart ison looks promising.

Date: 18/12/05 12:19 pm (UTC)Everybody I've told about refering to myself as 'we' when I talk to myself seems to think this is really odd, but I don't think it is really. I tend to do it particularly if I'm organising my day: "First we'll get dressed and have a cup of tea, and we really must remember to brush our teeth, and then we'll go to the shops, but we must remember to print out that thing first..." etc.
When I do things like 4, though, it's never the good lines I say out loud, sometimes I'm not even thinking about it, and some really cheesey line will come out my mouth. Mostly I'll do this if I'm walking somewhere on my own, and I have to clamp down fast so random strangers don't think I'm talking to myself.
