Random Procrastination

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Sorry to post pointless stuff, but its this or go back to sleep. I’ll be going back to sleep after this anyway.

I’m not here today, its been about three days and my feet haven’t touched earth. I have Engineering due by five and its not going to be done. And I don’t care, overmuch. Floating, floating, floating…

At least its a weekend, I can hope reality sets in soon.

I’m beginning to wonder if this is what a nervous breakdown feels like. If it is, I could stay here a while, its kinda comfy. Actually, it would just give me a reason to stay here, a name for what I’m feeling. Other than the “I must be past my yield strength on the stress vs. strain graph” that I have been thinking of it.

Oh, if you guys read this, DRY and mrblue, this mood is why I haven’t been e-mailing. Staring at the wall is not more important than responding to your e-mails, its just easier.

Hello? Hello? Anyone home?

I certainly don’t procrastinate randomly. It is always to great purpose. Right now, for example I am supposed to have produced some interface designs for a deadline a couple of days ago. I’m still working on them. Well, I’m actually posting on this message board but I’m thinking about working on them.

I’ll get right to it.

Right away.

Any time now.

My mom once told me that I was always going to be a procrastinator.

I said: “Oh, yeah? Just wait…”

…she’s still waiting.

It seems like a lot of the people I know who are in school are feeling this way right now. Maybe it’s midterm stress, or maybe it’s the phase of the moon or something, but you guys all have my sincere sympathy. Here, have a virtual chocolate chip cookie and take comfort in the thought that it won’t matter all THAT much in 10 years, really.

If anyone needs any procrastination tips, I can help out. Right after I watch this great old movie on AMC that I happened to notice as I was thinking about dusting the TV.

I tried to procrastinate, but I kept putting it off…

6

Internet Legend, I’ll take your cookie and raise you a fresh blueberry muffin. See! I too can procrastinate to a purpose.

I have to get out of this before my grades hit…

7

Anybody know how to correctly spell “procrasti…” oh, screw it.

8

It’s just the Fall Blahs, Medea. It’ll get better.

(Though I personally don’t see anything wrong with staring at walls.)

My Dear,

Allow me to take you out for a virtual night on the town.

In this order:

[li]Pins on Gardenia corsage before leaving.[/li]
[li]Start with a quick cocktail before heading out.[/li]
[li]Now for a stop at a photo gallery nearby to get our minds in gear.[/li]
[li]A brisk walk down the street brings us to a nice Bistro.[/li]
::he is allowed to order for her::

“Ah yes, the Caeser Salad for two. Then the Scampi style Alaskan spot prawns. Split orders of the Poached Salmon and the Paella to follow. A magnum of Veuve Cliquot Grandmere. To finish we’ll have the Cherries Jubilee. Thank you.”

::motions the waiter back to the table::

“Oh yes, a peach and apricot sorbet before the main courses, please.”

::Sommelier brings the Champagne to the table::

“That will suffice, although the vintage is a year off”

::tastes the Champagne::

“That will do.”

::dabbing at his lips with a Damask napkin::

“My dear, please do tell me about this terrible funk of yours.”

::is all ears for half an hour::

“Ah here comes the salad. What! No anchovies? Make it again!.. No, no my dear, you really must try it this way. They wash the filets correctly here and they use only the very finest ones from Portugal.”

::a single warning is enough for the kitchen staff and the rest of the meal is divine::

::leaves hefty tip for oldscratch::

[li]Attend premier of Balinese shadow puppet exhibition.[/li]
[li]We meet to chat with dancers and interpreters backstage.[/li]
[li]Head off to cozy little cafe for a Cappucino with Ammaretto.[/li]
::gentleman bites his lip and reveals no more::

I oughtta be practicing for the Carmen audition on Tuesday but Im reading the message boards instead.

11

I took a course in procrastination once.

I showed up for the first class nd they flunked me.

(ta da boom)

12

What do you mean random procrastination? It’s not random, I go to CAMS, it’s a school that was made for procrastinators.

I swear, I really was going to post to this earlier.
No, really. Stop laughing at me, all of you, stop now.
And finish laughing later, or tomorrow, or something…

No, seriously, I looked at this earlier and, well, I started watching baseball, and, well…
What?

I once checked out a self-help book for procrastinators. I returned it to the library two weeks late. :slight_smile:

15

Zenster, you really do know how to do things right.
What a lovely evening! I’ll print that out and post it in my room for inspiration as soon as I um…

Seriously, thank you. Pretties make me happy.

16

Now, Zenster, that date was no fun! You didn’t even give all of the bit players a chance to screw it up!

But Medea, I hope you feel better. I’d recommend some fries from the O, but you’ve already sworn that off for some odd reason.

Though, I guess with all the grease in the fries, that might be considered attempted suicide, so maybe I won’t recommend it after all.

Curl up in a blanket and stare at the wall all you want. It offers the answers to some of life’s greatest mysteries, it does.

As soon as I saw this thread, I knew I’d have to register just so I could post to it.

::Feels dissed::
:frowning:

19

Don’t feel dissed. If you think that is “dissed” from her, you have no idea. Appreciate the light while it lasts, because you’ll miss it when it’s gone.

:: whispers to Superdude: The OP is over a year old. ::

Do you feel less dissed now? :slight_smile:
