By The Golden Light Of Your Halo, I Wanna Nail You...

fingernail, that is.

i don't remember if i mentioned it before, but about three weeks ago i decided that i was going to not bite my fingerails anymore.

well...so far so good.

this is something like the fifth time i've "quit" since my mid teens. i've never had any trouble with it, and never really thought it was that big a deal.

like when i gave up caffeinne, i just said "okay, i'll stop doing that" and i did.

no sweat.

(the nail thing always goes back to the fact that having bitten themthe majority of my life, it just feels really WEIRD to have them and i always end up tearing them off in annoyance. the biting is just an absentminded way of keeping them short)

i've been thiking about this to anamazing length recently, how i could just "stop" doing something so easily, just because i decided to... maybe this means that all the thoughts i've had in regards to having an "addictive" persnality are just bull.

i have, at one time or another, stopped acting on just about every bad habit i've ever had. for the most part, they were pretty easy to do.

i go back because they're harmless and feel i've proved my point.

of course, i've never really been in deep with anything "serious", but even the one time i thought i might have a drinking problem... i was able to go about three months or so without having a drink, and barely thought about it. i'd just decided "i'm not going to do this", so i didn't.

there's probably little point to mentioning any of this...

...okay, lunch is over, time to get back to work. :P
