Moody's Corner, Nervous Habits

     I got to thinking today, about the things that people do when they're nervous. And like any modern human being the first place I went to to check it out was... You guessed it: The Libra- Nah I'm just kidding, I checked it on Google. What's interesting is that I didn't find my number one nervous habit on the list of top 8. Why 8? Great question. Maybe it was created back in the days of myspace and all that garbage. 

     So when I get nervous the only thing that I notice myself doing is yawning. When I'm nervous I yawn. A lot. And can't control it. For example, before I ever went on stage for performances in high school there was usually a period of 2 or 3 minutes where I would yawn to the point of hyperventilation. And that happened every time. In fact sometimes before dates I still get nervous and yawn. So ladies, if I look super tired on our date, I could be. Or maybe I'm nervous. Don't rule out the possibility. 

Here are the top 8:

1. Smoking. Luckily enough I don't ever do this one.

2. Teeth Grinding and Clenching. This happens when I sleep actually. In fact I have a mouth guard at night that I wear to keep from grinding. Get's worse with stress.

3. Nail Biting. Trying to stop doing this one too.

4. Crossing and Uncrossing Legs. Ok seriously I do all of these, but I know that I'm not nervous all the time...

5. Cracking Knuckles. Honestly maybe I'm just permanently nervous.

6. Biting on Pens. Yep, I'm always nervous I just discovered.

7. Face Touching and Rubbing. Well I don't do that unless I'm sighing about what I'm trying to study.

8. Tugging and Pulling on Hair. Yay! Found another one I don't do.

So, if you do these things then you're nervous. At least that's what the interwebs and blogosphere are telling me. And everyone know that they NEVER lie to you. Also couldn't decide on a picture to put up, but this made me nervous so I guess it fits.

     In other news for the week I didn't do too well on an accounting exam, but with a lot of work an A is still possible, so I'm getting to it. Just took a Chinese exam today, which was fine until the last question where we had to do some translations. I couldn't remember the word for Confucius Temple so I just wrote the name Confucius and then the word we use for a Mormon Temple... Definitely not the correct way to say it, but maybe I'll get some laughs and the TAs will take pity on me. Everyone start getting ready for Zombie tag next week! Read Roland's post from yesterday to learn more about what that is.

Lovesies,
