So much to do, so little motivation

Feb 14, 2011 01:10

Aargh. My A Levels were finished at the end of last November and I have a break until university starts much later this year. I'd been looking forward to this period SO MUCH last year, and planning what I'd do kept me going.

Now the months stretch ahead of me and I have so many things to do but just can't bring myself to finish them. Would the word ( Read more... )

OH MY GOD huge list. I'm impressed with you for just attempting it!

Especially the list of TV to watch; I am like the slowest television watcher ever. I've been watching Star Trek: The Original Series since mid-March of 2010 and am still no where near done. D:

(OH btw this is "shinobi_mi-chan," I'm just logged into a diff account rn XD)

XD I highly doubt I'll get msot of it done. I am the world's biggest procrastinator, especially when it comes to writing. Plus I went and bought more books today.

Awww. But it's awesome, right?

(XD No worries, I have so many different accounts. XD)

I totally get you-- whenever I have a lot of books to read, I will, without fail, go out and get some more. XD I have a whole bunch around my room right now. I'll get there in the end... maybe.

Yeah, TOS is *amazing,* it's just me. I'm really enjoying it (and the other Trek series-- this is my first time seeing any of them) Also, Shatner and Nimoy are two of the most beautiful people you will ever see ever. Just sayin'. XD

High five!

XD I don't know about Nimoy, but Kirk is drool-worthy, yes. Seeing them now is kinda sad. D: Thugh Nimoy in particular still has a commanding presence.

Read Michael Crichton's Next

I started on that book two years ago. I will finish it one day because IT IS INTERESTING. SERIOUSLY. I'm on chapter 3 by the way. >.<

<3 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

LOL! Have you read anything else of his? Love his Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Prey and Sphere. Airframe was boring though.

HAPPY LUPERCALIA!

Heh, this list looks a lot like my lists, I just don't have time to do most of mine. XD I've stopped reading Lucifer for the moment, I got distracted by rereading my Tamora Pierce collection. *guilty look* I'll continue Lucifer after I finish TP books though! I especially approve of reading The Red Pyramid and Beowulf! Absolutely love both of those. <3 I even wrote a fanfiction on Beowulf for an assignment in British Literature. XD ( ... )

sirius_luva February 15 2011, 16:45:03 UTC

Aww. XD OMG you get to write Beowulf fanfic for assignments? *envious*

These two haven't even seen ONE movie all the way through and that's just sheer blasphemy. D: But there's jobs and... other problems. So this will likely take a while to plan and execute. Aww! I have a whole bunch of documentaries too, like, on Egypt and stuff.

Thanks! <3 And aww, I don't know, we don't have the four seasons. XD It's super hot here, that's all I know.

Lol, yep, we were supposed to write a re-telling of Beowulf from the point of view of a different character besides Beowulf. I wrote mine from Unferth's point of view and I actually still really like it. XD I have it up on fanfiction.net if you ever want to read it after you read Beowulf!

Yeah, my friend hasn't either! I didn't realize she hadn't and was like O_O MUST FIX. But yeah, we have the same issues with jobs and classes. Plus, she's quite devoted to her boyfriend, and spends all of her weekends going to see him. So we'll see. XD Maybe my birthday party this year will include a LotR marathon! >.>

Oooh, I forgot about that. XD I wish I could come visit you right now, it's winter here and I'm so sick of the gray and dreariness and cold. >< Summer won't be until May... *sigh* Two and a half months to go.

sirius_luva February 15 2011, 17:55:18 UTC

XD I have read a novelisation of the Beowulf movie, and also read a kickass verse translation but had to return it to the library and study for exams before I could finish it. So now I'm looking forward to this new verse translation but I already know what happens. XD

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. I wish mine could involve fancy dress/cosplay, I want to dress as Sandman-Death.

COME VISIT ME. <3
