A guy from my course asked me on MSN today what the name of one of our seminar tutors is. At the time, I was baking fairy cakes.
Two seemingly unrelated incidents…except for one factor.
We were both avoiding writing essays.Â
It amused me the way we were both doing stupid things, any things, to avoid writing another ^$%£$£ essay. I hate cooking. I never cook. I can’t cook AND won’t cook. Yet today I’ve made and decorated 15 fairy cakes (icing, melted chocolate and sprinkles), cooked a pizza and chips and made a tuna salad. I even went to Sainsbury’s to buy icing and a few other staples to avoid doing work. So I feel accomplished, but kind of guiltily so because I should’ve been at the library, or at least done more than the 1,800 words I’ve done since yesterday.
I’m watching ‘The Fat Man’s Warning’, and whilst some parts of it are good, I’ve just seen the guy make some young boys absolutely paranoid about their weight; they’re looking down at themselves and sucking their stomachs in. Ok, fat might not be good, but neither is eating disordered.
 Interestingly, though, while the 3 cities I come from are top for gun crime in the UK, they don’t even make the top 20 obese cities in the UK. Yay?
Off again on another random tangent, I’ve been missing my family a lot recently. One particular incident occurred over Easter has stuck in my mind. I was cleaning out the kitchen drawer, a funny experience because there was loads of junk in there from years ago that we pissed ourselves laughing at, such as stories my sister had written. We started arguing about something, and for some reason I said, ‘Do you think I’m stupid?’
My sister replied, ‘Jen. You’re wearing a pair of plastic Shrek ears and a t-shirt that says ‘Cool-As-A-Moose’ on it.’
I’m beginning to scare myself with the extent to which I will avoid doing work, so I will now go and write at least 200 more words.
I will.
Maybe I’ll just check LiveJournal first…Â Â Â
Edit: Ok I’m now watching some idiots try to sell some product that keeps windscreens clean on cars. Yeah, I’ll be sure to buy that for when the next person tips a bucket of dye over my car. I mean, what the hell?!
*waves* Hi, I'm 
yeah avoiding work sucks, though if you’ve been avoiding it when you finally get it done you feel even more accomplishment. Atleast I do! I hope that you can knuckle down and get it done and out of the way
I know exactly how you feel – I avoid school work sometimes too and even though I love doing something else than work for school I feel so guilty…
As long as you do get the work done on time it’s okay I guess!
*grin* Isn’t procrastination great? xD I have been procrastinating a lot lately, just to avoid mowing the lawn, which I promised my mother I’d do…
Have fun with your essay xD
Heh, I can’t blame neither of you for avoiding writing your essay. Saying that, I hope you got further.
Sure you can cook. Anyone can cook. Say no more about those fairy cakes, you’re teasing my taste buds :9
Aww, I know what you mean. There is no place like home.
LOL about avoiding to write the essay!
WOAH! Crazy that you’ve cooked that much though you don’t like to cook!! Hehe.
Aww, sorry to hear about you being homesick… *hugs*
Ah…Procrastination. =) Tell me about it. Of course, I’m not in university yet, but I have a 4-page paper due in two days. I have, at most, a page. lol I think it’s hilarious you hate cooking and sucked it up just to have something else to do but write. Haha, short and entertaining entry. xD (Though all of them are. ^_^)
Essays are evil, fairy cakes are not lol well done making them, procrastination is great isn’t it lol.
I like the sound of that shirt lol
