This Girl Talk Thursday, we’re talking about our vices.
Carbs – If it’s possible to be clinically addicted to carbs, then I am. Chris was talking to me about the Atkins diet and as he continued to list things that I should avoid eating — bread, pasta, cereal, fruit — I finally threw up my hands and exclaimed, “That’s not a life worth living!” Seriously, no cereal or toast for breakfast? No sandwiches for lunch? Fruit for snacks? No rice or pasta as part of dinner? Who the hell does that to themselves intentionally?!
Swearing – I can’t help it. I really, really try to swear less, but I use the words “fuck” and “bitch” habitually. I wish I didn’t, Chris wishes I didn’t, and god knows I don’t want Maia to learn these words from me, but sometimes, no other word works.
Messiness – Ever since that GTT where we shared roommate stories and I cleaned off my desk, I have been trying desperately to keep it clean. I’m doing an alright job, although it’s definitely got a few extra things on it. However, my bedroom? Messssssy. Dirty clothes shoved into one corner, clean clothes in folded stacks sitting atop my dresser, an unmade bed with twisted blankets…
Coffee - Throughout my pregnancy, the smell and taste of coffee made me nauseous. Before I got pregnant, I used to drink a pot of coffee every morning; now, I drink a few cups a day, usually one or two in the morning, sometimes one in the afternoon, and a decaf at night. This might explain why I need to get my teeth whitened.
The Internet – Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, four or five different forums, the entire I Can Haz Cheezburger network of sites… I can’t get away from it. I love the ‘Net. I think I’m addicted to the social aspects of it, the constant exchange of conversation.
Procrastination - You see, I’ve been thinking about this week’s GTT post since Monday. It’s now noon on Thursday and I’m finally typing it up. Every year, my New Year’s Resolution is “procrastinate less” and … well, the fact that it’s STILL my resolution and I haven’t moved on to something else yet probably tells you all you need to know about how successful that has been!

I SO know what you’re saying with procrastination.
I could procrastinate for all of Britain. And some of France. And maybe a bit of Spain, too.
It’s like, Matt Enemy Number 1.
Totally in the same boat!
We are twins separated at birth, the carbs, swearing, coffee, procrastination!!! Preaching to the choir sister!!!
i agree with EACH AND EVERY ONE of these. I was like “Fuck! I can stop swearing for… oh. wait.” so yeah. gotcha.
1. I would die without bread. DIE, I TELL YOU.
2. “Fuck” is my favourite word. And verb. Heh.
3. Please don’t ever ask me to show you a picture of the baskets underneath my coffee table. Or of my end tables. Or of the office. Kthx.
4. Meh, I’ll take tea instead (love the smell of coffee, but hate the taste).
5. My life blood. Seriously.
6. Listed this in my entry, too. lol
Your last two definitely could (should) have made my list.
I have no freaking idea how people can give up carbs. WAY more willpower than me, that’s for damn sure.
I’m not bad with swearing. I do it way more online than I do aloud. Not sure why that is.
So basically, you and I are practically the same person.
The internet is so the work of the devil. Such a time waster
Good to know I’m not completely alone!
I should be in bed. Instead I’m catching up on GTT entries. ‘Nough said!
HELLO VICE TWIN ^_^
We could start a support group
Let’s not call swearing a vice. Let’s call it, um, hm, how about the use of a large and varied vocabulary? Yeah. I like the sound of that.
My vices are far too numerous to list, but the big one is probably documentaries. I am a total documentary junkie. We don’t have television, so whenever I’m anywhere that has a documentary on, I swear my legs turn to lead and it takes a nuclear blast to jolt me back to reality. Which explains why I know all sorts of random facts about polar bears but have no idea what foods should be on my grocery list today.
