Bad habits

In heaven, all the interesting people are missing. - Friedrich Nietzsche

I have a bad habit of swearing in inappropriate places. Christ, I swear like a sailor all the fuckin' time. I try to cut it out around women and children, but who knows where children might be lurking? As for women, equal rights means not being precious.

I am a Smokemon, not exactly cute like Pikachu.

I am a soldier without any luck and a soldier needs luck.

Marcus, if it is any consolation, I too am sometimes given over to using words that are not appropriate in church.

On the one hand I believe that the use of profanity is a sign of cultural under developement. On the other hand it is often useful for the purpose of unloading ones frustrations.

Colourful language adds flavour.

[Asmodean]

For someone who does know how to turn a phrase, I too can be on the crude side of colourful at all the inopportune moments. I'd like to say that there is always a plan behind my using specific language, but while it's generally true, especially in writing, it isn't always so.

I don't necessarily consider it a bad habit - I don't get prudish (not to be confused with pedantic, which I do do) over others' language, so being able to take it, why wouldn't I occasionally dish it out as well?

What I do consider bad habits... Biting fingernails. There were a few "professionals" in my youth who thought this insecurity or that inner whatnot - turns out, I just don't like the feeling of freshly-manicured fingers on pretty-much anything, and avoid it by trimming my nails using my teeth. Go figure. In any case, my nails look a bit worse for wear.

Snus is probably a bad habit too, although provided proper use of garbage bins for the used portions, that one is pretty hard to inflict on others. Is it still a bad habit if it is the habit of one, so to speak?

Slightly-aggressive driving style. While I tend to both have OK situational awareness and control, I can be unnerving to other road users in specific situations. Also, I will remorselessly block access to the driver-side door of a vehicle that takes up more than its parking space in the garage. I don't do it to be an ass to that driver, but to avoid being an ass to a potentially well-parked driver in the spot on the other side of the one I'm squeezing in to. It's not a habit as much as a conscious choice though, so maybe does not belong on this list.

Let's see... What else? Well, I don't really drink alcohol or use narcotics. Oh, I may have a couple of beers in a year and pop an occasional pain killer, but not to such a degree that I think any-one would consider it a bad habit I have.

I have so many bad habits that I can't list them all.

I've got a tendency to procrastinate, be disorganised, don't cleanup my mess all the time and put things away in illogical places. This drives my wife utterly mad.

I tend to be a clean freak. This drives me mad.

I tried procrastinating once, but I just couldn't get around to it...

Same. The Asmo, He shall get around to it though... But not today. Another day is much better. Yes. A different day.
