Finger maintenance
I hate those hang nail thingies. I rarely get them, but when I do, they're on all of my fingers. They just appear on the sides of each finger. I'm not even sure what they are, or why I get them.
I'm sure there must be some way of dealing with them besides ripping them out, but it is how I do them. Sometimes they bleed, sometimes they don't. I'm writing about it because every keystroke reminds me that I just yanked out the one on my left index finger. I should just avoid typing anything using the letters FRTGVB.

I get those too. But I know why I get them; it's because I bite at my fingers. So I get also get a nice helping of guilt.

Aww, baby!
You need some cuticle nippers. You can get 'em at Duane Reade for, like, two bucks.

Oh man. I hate when you start pulling one and it, like, rips half-way up your arm.

My lurvely British aunt advised me via email that I cut my nails too closely. How does that affect the weird dangly bits higher up? This is the same as that trimming advice for the toenails where they are supposed to go straight across. If I do that, I slice the sheets while sleeping.

You get them from picking your nose. Trust me.

Keep those cuticles pushed back! And put the hand lotion in the basket next time you're at Rite Aide. Though frou-frou, Aveda is awesome. Apply 1-2 times a day especially right before you go to bed and/or right after you wash your hands with antibacterial soap.

Pain makes you beautiful.

Shoving your hands into the mouths of handsome strangers will rid you of hangnails.
Or, you could get a hobby.

Baby Jesus doesn't like it when you bite your nails.
