i like to put it on my door and make the door move back and foruth in time to the bell's beat

Aaaahhhh!!! I do this too!! I'm always peeling at the skin on my lips (like when they are chapped or something) and it ends up bleeding, but it is soo satisfying when I finally get the last piece. If I can't get to it, say I'm at work or out of my house. I get more anxiety until I can get to a mirror and finish it!
