Bad Habits

I have a bad habit - texting while on the move. I can't seem to help myself; I just need to text the people that pop into my head when I'm moving from place to place. Probably a time-saving gesture, but still... My luck has held out so far. I haven't walked into an open manhole, or stepped on an inert cat lying conveniently around, or gotten knocked down by an oncoming stealthy car (You won't believe how often that has almost happened)! Well, not yet, at least... *Fingers crossed!)*

My other bad habits are numerous as well; and they too need immediate attending to, although they are less physically damaging (at least I won't get knocked down by a car!). I have this bad habit of hanging up the phone on an innocent person without saying goodbye. I'm imagining the enraged look on their faces, when people wish me "Bye! And have a gr..", only to be cut short by the sound of a dial-tone. Oops! Hee! I didn't mean it! Serious! A horrible and rude habit I know, but so innocuous it takes me a great deal of effort in attempting to kick the habit.

And another I didn't realise until recently; it's not so much as a bad habit, it's just not a good habit, and something that I have to be careful about. It's just that I have a tendency to sound really curt and stand-offish when talking to people sometimes. It usually won't matter actually, just that I have a face of the bitch, and when I have the speaking demeanour to match it as well, I become scary. Well-meaning new acquaintances have been known to shrivel up and die by a mere glance from me, and I was just glancing at them over a bowl of beef noodles, not paying much attention to them because the food was more important. And over the phone, I often come across sounding like some psycho with horrible murderous intents, and specialising in extreme cruelty. Sigh..I feel so misunderstood; having the heart of an angel, but the face of a bitch!

I think I've opened up a can of worms with ths blog. I'm going to be inudated with loads of other comments about my horrible character, loud, crass personality and who knows what other pot-shots you people are going to take at me. Have mercy, I pray, on this poor defenceless thing.

And no personal attacks please! I may be fat, but I can diet; you're ugly! Haha!!
