I wish I had more of a drive to get things done. But the fact of the matter is, I don’t. I make lists of things I must do: chores to perform, things to buy, what have you. I write them down, nice and organized, and I think, “All right! I’m going to get all this stuff done!”

What would I do if I had a million dollars…

$250,000 would go to my father. Another $250,000 would go to my mother. I doubt that would begin to pay off all the things they bought for me and did for me from the day I was born until now, but it’s a start.

I have found myself with a lot of free time on my hands at work. The students and teachers are preparing for midterm exams, so there isn’t anything for me to do.

I study vocabulary ( Read more... )

...I’m doing a quiz I stole from a friend on Facebook. Read it or don’t, I don’t really care. It was a way to kill some time ( Read more... )

Okay, it’s turning out to be more difficult than I thought it would be to think up a villain that I’m fond of. Coming up with names for other villains, and even heroes, is easy enough, because they’re not something my villain is going to have to live with. I’ve got a list of potential villains and potential heroes, but nothing I love. It’s rough ( Read more... )

I like filling out those mundane surveys online. You know, the ones with titles like “80 questions you’ve never been asked!” or “50 questions about me,” or what have you. They’re easy, they’re mindless, and best of all, they kill time when you don’t feel like doing anything particularly significant.

One of the questions that invariably pops up on ( Read more... )
