"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful."

Oscar Wilde

Too bad, I like to throw quotes in my conversation, it's not a temptation, but one of my bad speech habits. Do you have any temptations that you have often succumbed to? Any temptation that you have fallen for once, only to massively regret later?

I'm not very interesting, mine's chocolate. Or simply, good food. Feed me good food, and I'm in the palm of your hand.

Mine's... I dunno really. Probably music. I love music. Singing is my favorite thing ever. It makes me so happy, I can't even explain it. I don't know how we, as humans, can create something so darn beautiful.

I 'm always tempted to cut my hair. Instead of just letting it grow and flow, I cut it during that horrible middle length stage. I used to have long flowing hair that swept past my shoulders, but I just don't know how I did it.

There is also that thing with lotion and tissues...I hate that urge. That's enough said on that, and I probably said to much already.

I buy too many clothes. I have about 30 shirts that I never wear. Not a cheap habit, either.

The story of Samson used to be my favorite.

Another temptation of mine is Criminal Minds. Spencer Reid is a cutie!

My "temptation" is probably AG. I am pretty addicted and I even have comment notifications on so I can reply ASAP.

I used to be an alcoholic, so...

Now all temptations have been reduced to jelly beans and Oreos. I might acquire type 2 diabetes within the next 20 years, but at least I won't die an alcohol-related death.

Yeah, I hate it when I'm trying to moisturize my skin to keep my pores exfoliated, and suddenly I have to blow my nose.

Whenever I ride my mountain bike and I see a pebble, an empty bottle or a ball in the street, I can't help but kick it with the front wheel.
I used to play soccer on bike so I'm pretty good at it.
My favorite trick was to kick the ball with my front wheel and quickly kick it with the real wheel. I haven't done it in a few years so I don't know If i'm still fast enough to do it now.

At least you're not putting those around you at risk, and it takes a lot more cookies to kill you than it does cigarettes.
