12 Mar 2006 The day I stop biting my nails

[Misc] ... Or at least try and stop biting my nails.

I went out to a birthday bash shin-dig thingy at a nightclub the other night. It was all fun and the birthday girl got a giant rubber duck for a present. Anyway we all ended up in a friends night and I had the pleasure of talking to this girl all night whilst everyone else had passed out. Well she did nearly all the talking whilst I sat and listened. She was fascinating because she seemed to have experienced and done so much in her life and yet she's only as old as I am.

Anyway we got to chatting and I started to bite my nails out of habit. She lightly slapped my wrist and told me not to do it. Then she told me three reasons why not to do it:
  1. Biting your nails is a sign of nerves and lack of confidence, which is unattractive to women.
  2. Biting your nails is a sign of you not caring about your health. And what woman will want to let you put those fingers inside her?
  3. There's all sorts of bacteria under your fingernails. Imagine putting that into your body.

It was at this point it clicked into place. I hear this kind of advice a lot and ignore it as most people do. But it was one of those moments where the right person says the right thing in the right way at the right time. It meant something and it stuck. (I like those kinds of moments, it's what makes people better themselves). It would greatly benefit me if I stop biting my nails.

So I promise to stop biting my nails from now on and have them trimmed in other ways. If I'm caught biting my nails I give permission for people around me to give me a little slap to stop me doing it.

I wonder how well I'm going to keep this promise now that I've written it down.

Gravatar *chuckles*... I used to be a nail biter. I decided to stop because my nails looked reeeeally horrible. I started chewing gum more often. You don't tend to chew your nails when you have something else occupying your mouth. :3

Gravatar I've never actually thought about those facts before. It's definetely going to make me think before biting my nails in the future

PS: this is the first time my ISP has actually let me access your site. It's about time!
