to carry

despite having one of the more boring objects that is always with me, nonetheless many people can sympathize with my need to constantly carry... gum.
many people also carry this neccessity with them, and i cannot speak for them, but to me it is completely neccessary to have this for all times of the day. any time i have to eat something, i need gum afterwards. it may be because one of my biggest pet peeves is people that have bad breath. teachers especially, with their rancid coffee breath as they lean down to help you with your work. but other students seem to do this as well, eat food and have nasty breath after, and seem completely oblivious as they get in your face talking and nearly suffocate you. i never want to be that person, and also i cannot stand the taste of food in my mouth after i have finished eating it. that awful aftertaste, who can stand it?
call me vain, or too self conscious or whatever you want, but one of my things i carry with me every day is gum. it is completely a neccessity for me.
