The Secret Life of Bees: Sushi Edition

November 13th, 2008 @ 11:35 am by Mrs. Sushi

While I don’t have any good, juicy stories, here are a few tidbits about me (that took Mr. Sushi 3 years to find out).

  • I am a total daydreamer and I have a tendency to totally space out while I’m driving—to the point where I don’t pay attention to where my destination is and have a habit of missing my turns. Mr. Sushi is now in the habit of reminding me when I need to turn, and when he doesn’t (and I totally miss the turn), I blame him for not reminding me.
  • I swear I’m dyslexic. I’ve never been diagnosed, but I swear I am… especially when it comes to numbers.
  • I pick. I pick at my face…zits, pores, nails, and cuticles. I’ll pick at my cuticles till my fingers bleed. I sometimes do it without realizing I’m doing it. Mr. Sushi tries to prevent me from doing this, but nothing works.

    proof of my gross cuticle picking

  • I have visited about 12 countries, and have lived in 4 different countries (including Italy, Japan and England).
  • I can blow bubbles off my tongue. My dad thinks it’s gross.
  • When I was 13, my two bestests and I went on a lil’ adventure. We jumped the barbed wired fence of the military base we lived on, caught the city bus to the neighboring military base and shoplifted at the PX (military store) like we had hit the jackpot. Needless to say we were followed by store detectives, got caught, and dragged to the MP (military police) station where they called our parents. After filling out tons of paperwork, we got fined and banned from the PX for 6 months. We learned our lesson (my dad also made me apologize to the manager of the PX and the commander of the base). Luckily it wasn’t worse; our parents could have gotten disciplined for our actions. Although bawling my eyes out at the MP station while eating Skittles will always be a memory of mine. They are still my bestests to this day.

What a fun way to come back to the hive. Missed you guys!

My best friend from college picked at her cuticles (like you do) and also could blow the bubbles (like you do). Are you secretly my best friend? :)

I always winced when I saw her nails and tried to avoid being hit by the “spit bubbles” but I loved her anyway ;)

I used to pick at my cuticles really badly. It was at its worst in high school, where I would have to get band aids all of the time because of the bleeding! I notice trying to do it now, but I won’t let myself touch them until I can get to a nail clipper or cuticle scissors!!!

That’s awesome to have been to so many countries! :)

There is actually a condition called dyscalculia, which sounds like what you’re describing when it comes to numbers. just a thought!

my best friend and FH are both pickers too, and i’ve since turned into one, although I try my hardest not to, especially my face. i used to be a bad nail biter, but now i file them and carry a file so in case i get any snags i file it instead of biting it. works most of the time…but now i am in the habit of picking at my cuticles too! i try to keep them lubed up with lotion cuz if they’re not dry and flaking, i tend not to pick as much.

maybe you should try to wear gloves with lotion at night, which is when the lotion penetrates the best. your hands will look and feel so soft and smooth they’ll be too pretty to pick! :)

I could swear you took a picture of my fingers. I thought I was the only one! I don’t even know why I do it… but thank you for admitting this secret!! I feel much better about my nasty habit.

My face looks like pepperoni pizza today because there are these 4 spots I just can’t stop picking it. It was the greatest willpower I have ever displayed in not picking my face before the wedding, it was really bad after the honeymoon because I decided to go it at like none other. It was SUCH a relief to start up again. I think it’s a sickness really.

@Tea: My mom wasn’t amused either. Although my dad thought it was quite entertaining for YEARS. I guess when the MPs called my parent’s house they wern’t home, so my parents were the last ones to get to the MP station. While we were waiting for an officer to talk to us, I had asked my dad where he was that he wasn’t home. He said he was renting a movie. “What movie?”, I asked. “My Father the Hero”. Yep, that’s the movie they rented that night.

About 3 years ago I got “My Father the Hero” on dvd for Christmas. Yea, my dads got jokes. :P

I’m VERY happy to know I’m not the only cuticle picker! I do try to moisturize, but sometimes I’m too lazy. :o)
@DQ: I don’t think I’m that extreme, but I do have some of those “symptoms”. Thanks for sharing the medical name!
@pink: Ahh the good ‘ol days is right! LoL.

I’m a terrible cuticle picker too. It’s a really bad compulsion. FI has tried everything he could think of. I actually managed the willpower to stop for several days, and my fingers got better. Then I noticed that they were flaking and peeling anyway and I got depressed and went right back to it. I’d love to stop, but I can’t figure out how.

I’m a face picker and FI is the cuticle picker. I can relate.
