(no subject)
i have noticed a very important recurring pattern as i reflect upon my lost youth.
one - i am royalty amongst procrastinators. i beat all you amateurs in this, no competition.
two - i have sealed my status every time i have The Big Thing come up in my life.
oh, you know this. The Big Thing is everything academia strives to strip your soul away to. The Big Thing is that project/essay/test that is seemingly all too important.
and yet -- and yet....
I STILL MANAGE A WAY TO FLING MYSELF INTO SOME LOST BIT OF NOSTALGIA EVERY TIME IT COMES MY WAY.
i become sentimental and shit -- brain, do you remember that one tv show i watched as a child? isn't it just a DELIGHTFUL time to see some episodes of it? read fanfic? EMERGE YOURSELF IN ITS FANDOM???
brilliant idea? oh -- don't mind those stacks of books that you have put off weeks to read. you still have two days to complete this assignment. don't worry, you've pulled things out of your ass before, we like the panic.
anxiety is good.
NO IT ISN'T.
this is terrible! i can't pull away from my urges of doing evrything but the productive.
the current culprit? hey arnold.
omg. i will write fanfic (HELGA/ARNOLD FOREVAAAA) before i even start on my Big Essay.
this, i predict.
