pro crastination

the thing is, i can't think about something more than once or twice and then still enjoy writing about it. it feels like i've already written it and that everything i say is somehow stale or overdone, even though it's never actually been written before. that's why my paper that i'm writing right now really sucks. i'm not sure it matters, because the classes here are so undemanding. but it still pains me to have to write something that i don't really like. i'm trying all kinds of different tactics to freshen it up for myself, but they are only moderately helpful. and i left something i very much need at home. oh well.

anyways, i leave my gmail window open when i'm working on the computer. this way i know when i get a new email. it is just so exciting to look down in the corner of the screen and see that the number count has gone up one. but then i never actually respond right away. i just think about my response too much so that when i actually respond it seems like it must be hopelessly boring, when in reality, it's probably okay.

and here's this because it's funny
