It's impossible to get rid of crabs

I may or may not have a midterm paper due tomorrow at 9am.

(For my nocturnal friends, yes, 9:00 in the morning is just as disgusting as you've heard.)

It's entirely possible that I have nothing more written than a title page.

(Title pages are for nerds and squares.)

It might be true that I am using this blog post as a means of distracting myself from starting/completing the aforementioned paper.

(Calm down.  It's only 20% of my grade.)

What is also likely is that I am planning on taking a much needed break at 11pm to watch Chelsea Lately.

(You guys, I'm not a machine.)

One might be under the impression that I am hesitant to commit to anything one way or the other.

(Speaking of waffling, I could really go for some flapjacks.  Too early for flapjacks?) 

It would not be out of the question to assume I've gone a little nutburgers and as I'm considering grabbing all the blankets and pillows in the house and making a fort in front of the TV.

(Is there a relation between chemical imbalances and the innate need to burrow?)

Maybe I feel ready to write my paper.

(My brother and I are currently discussing the pros and cons of red peppers.)

I just wrote a sentence fragment.  Perhaps this is the start of something!

(I'm for 'em!)

Spell Check and I are potentially going to get into a fight because she has decided "predesignated" is not a word.

(She's a stupid bitch.)

10:50pm already?  Probably time for a study break.

(I'm tired.  I should probably be in bed by midnight if I want to be worth anything tomorrow.)

Because I sense the distress you're feeling for me as you read this, I want to leave you with something uplifting, courtesy of the ever watchful pop culture eyeballs of the Blonde Blogette.

Love the video. Made my day. Good luck getting your paper done. Can I come build a fort with you?

Christina said...

The most interesting and insightful papers are written at 2 a.m. You have hours before you need to be worried.

SurferWife said...

I can't wait to build a fort with you in my living room. We will make a sign that reads: No Kids or Husbands Allowed.

Also, you are going to get me murdered by the Dons if the Nerd Mafia for not participating. Thanks a lot.

GunDiva said...

Funny. You're writing a blog as a procrastination measure and I'm reading your blog as a procrastination measure. We're so much alike :)

Red Peppers cause intestinal gas - CON.

i was the queen of procrastination when i was in college (holy crap that makes me sound old... "WHEN" i "WAS" in college. i need to sign up for some freaking college classes so i can feel all young and whatnot again). and fort building is a fabulous idea. i hope you did it and i hope it was awesome!!

Is this mermaid named Lemon, by chance?

If Neal punches me in the face the next time I call his little soldier a "dingle hopper" I'm totally blaming you. And you will owe me a Coke. I hope you got your paper done. Or at least finished one helluva title page. Sometimes a really good title page can get you a D. And what's a D, really, when it's only 20% of your grade??

The Only Girl said...

You better have finished that paper Missy! (that's me trying to be all 'parent-ish' and stuff)

Procrastination is an under appreciated enhancement to one's life, and stuff. ;)

I always had good luck writing papers at 4am. ;)

Bathwater said...

Thank god we are a distraction in your life or we would never hear from you.

You are a bigger procrastinator than I am. And that's saying something.

Macey said...

Welp. It's definitely past due time for the paper, and I'm guessing you turned in a fabulous piece. With some red pepper stuff on it.

Lauren said...

Seriously, the most eye catching blog title. ever.

:)

foxy said...

Gah, I used to have the same procrastination routine when I was in school. Sucks balls.

And I'm really glad it's not you that has crabs.

Sarah Beth said...

Hope you got your paper done! Don't waste these precious moments of procrastination - there's nothing quite like it out in "the real world." I long for that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, knowing that my degree depended on the paper due in 12 hours that I had yet to begin. Carpe diem, my friend.

Liz said...

I appreciate both parts of Surferwife's comments. God help the Surfer if you two one day meet.

And? She stuck her neck out for you in the world of the Nerd Mafia, and you didn't live up to her hopes. Horse head on the bed for you!

Cheeseboy said...

Found you through Living in France, I've noticed a couple hilarious comments on her blog.

Any gal that will take a break for Chelsea Lately, is my kind of blogger.

Predesignated? It's a word on my spell check. You just have a bad spell checker. You might want to have a tech look at that.

Carrie said...

your train of thought posts are possibly my favorite kind. i would really be interested in hearing your thoughts on bell peppers by the way.

ps- i feel the need to tell you right now that i love you a million times over. goodnight.

Carrie said...

and i'm really glad you wrote this post. because i get really sad when tuesday isn't okay.

Yankee Girl said...

Don't work too hard on the paper.

Really.

I once pulled 3 all-nighters in a row and then fell asleep on mt drive to work in the morning. No one was hurt, but I did total two cars.

20% of your grade isn't worth totalling two cars.

Get your sleep. And watch Chelsea Lately. It will make you feel so much better.

AiringMyLaundry said...

Good luck on that paper. I always get distracted when I have to do stuff like that.

And Chelsea Lately rocks so I can't blame you for wanting to watch.

1) It's never too early for flapjacks. I had them for dinner tonight.

2) I LOVE the second city videos, and I'm so glad you introduced me to more of them. The Belle video is amazing!

Lisa said...

If you don't like something about your body...snip snip! *Giggle!*

Hope your paper turned out ok. I'm sure it did! But if it doesn't work out, you can always sell your voice for plastic surgery.

Amy said...

A) That video is BEYOND hysterical...mostly because I was expecting it to be a serious Ariel advice vid...I should have known...SARA!!!

2) Red peppers are the shiznit!

And C) I greaduated from college 7 years ago, yet I still have dreams that my midterms are here but I haven't been to the class all semester. This post will most definitely set me back on my progress where this is concerned.
