will it stick this time?

I'm currently in the middle of another attempt to break a habit that's so old that I can't remember when I started it. I don't think I need your help; it's really up to me and whatever willpower I can manage to be able to stop successfully this time. I can't even count the number of times I've tried to stop, but it's never lasted longer than a few weeks. I'll let you know if I fail again this time, but seriously I'm about to turn 25, still having hung onto this for over 2 decades, I really have to just quit. QUUUUIT!! Right, yelling at myself will work.

I've tried googling this to find tips, but as I expected, I didn't find much of anything. At least some sites said a related habit was more common in intelligent people when they get nervous. I'll believe that since it was written online, of course. It seems I have a rare "talent", though I found that one girl had an entire blog devoted to cracking this habit. Her sentiments and craziness regarding this are so eerily similar to mine that I sent her an email to tell her that I was going through the same thing. She even posted pictures about it, which is something that even I, snap happy girl, won't consider ever doing. She still hasn't replied. I wonder if she has quit, though a 20-some year habit is not something you can break in a day.

The peculiar thing is that I've only finally mentioned this to some friends of mine and was surprised to find out they also have another version of this habit. Which I never noticed, and I was quite sure everyone notices mine. But maybe some people just don't see things right in front of them. Unfortunately for me, they don't want to quit. There goes my pep squad. I can't imagine how they do what they do, and they can't imagine what I do. Well, good luck to us all, whether we care or not.

Anyhoo, twas a completely blah day besides In-N-Out. But hearing this song on VH1 for some reason made me really happy and feel fabulous. =)
