It's not a distraction unless you've got work to do

Somehow I volunteered myself into doing coffees for a Breast Cancer Awareness breakfast at uni tomorrow. Two hours of frantic coffee-making interspersed with pancakes. I'm happy to get more practice and it's for a noble cause, but I'm under no delusions that this is anything but (yet another) method of procrastination.

I guess many of the coffees disappeared in mysterious circumstances... :P

Whoa. Being the person that I am, hearing you talk about your deadlines makes me really dizzy, LOL. I am always frantic about finishing everything long ahead of schedule, if it´s possible as soon as I get notice that I have to do it. I don´t think I would be able to live with an overdue paper... so you are my heroine. :P

And you are my heroine now. If I could only get that combination of genes... really, though, last-minute work is not a good way to live. But I think I'm stuck in my ways now. D:

And I in mine. :P Getting stressed is bad for one´s health, be it before or after the deadline...

Procrastinators Unite! Tomorrow... or maybe the next day... *giggle*

The 50bookchallenge sounds interesting though if I counted all the fluff mysteries and such that I read, I'd make 50 in a few months! (I'm a voracious reader of fluff... mental muchies, though I do occasionally like to throw in something with a bit of substance just to make things interesting. ~_^ )

My personal 50bookchallenge was to read 50 new books in a year after I realised that I was on a permanent Discworld rotation. (And I adore Discworld, of course, but it was getting to the point where I could quote huge swathes of text from the Watch books and I was just skimming over them.) It's been fun, overall - some of the books I wouldn't read again at gunpoint, but others have been amazing, especially once I strayed out of my fiction-only comfort zone. Give it a try, by all means. (Although probably not this year.)

I'll look at it and send it tonight. May I be hung up by my figgin if I fail. :D

I loved The Princess Bride. In fact, I would go so far as to venture that it is better than the film.
