This Week Was Awesome Because… (Vol. 1.2)

  1. On Sunday, I saw Rufus Wainwright live with my mom and it was amazingcakes. He’s a million times better live, he’s also hilarious, and if we were not both gay, he would be my husband.

  2. I researched and wrote my entire first draft of my research paper on Wednesday because the first draft was due THURSDAY. It was supposed to be 12-15 pages long. I wrote 14.

    Showed up to class on Thursday and was the only person who had written more than seven pages. Sigh.

  3. Yesterday I spent an hour on Omegle, trying to see if anybody on there WASN’T a creeper. I had a few epic exchanges. As I may make a more extensive post here with more, here’s a small preview:

    You: Do you like goldfish?
    Stranger: yeah
    You: Aren’t they delicious?
    Your conversational partner has disconnected.

    Stranger: show me yo titties
    You: Do you have a problem with man boobs?
    Your conversational partner has disconnected.

    Stranger: up for cam sex
    You: Grandma?!!!
    Your conversational partner has disconnected.

    Stranger: hey
    You: Are you a creeper?
    Stranger: yes i am
    Stranger: sorry
    You: Thanks for admitting it.

  4. Yesterday I was standing on the bus and, of course, all of the bondage and escort ads fell out of the newspaper1 I was holding and fell on an old woman’s head. She looked very dismayed that a whole lot of transvestite hooker ass had just rained down upon her face. D:

  5. I just noticed that I get a lot of DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS GAY and nip slip spam on this blog, for some reason. Sometimes going through my Askimet filter gives me serious lulz.

    Also, related to spam, why this week is NOTSOME: Tila Tequila porn spam. D:

  1. My fellow Seattle people will not be shocked to hear it was The Stranger, a free weekly paper with copious amounts of picture-ridden escort ads.

Things I Have Done Instead of My Homework

If there’s one thing I completely pwn at, it is procrastination. I have it down, pat.

So far in the past 21 hours I’ve been awake I have managed to do these things instead of my homework:

  1. Talk on the phone with one of my best friends for four hours. Yeah, really. She lives in Alaska right now, unfortunately, whereas I still live in Seattle, so we don’t get to talk as often as we’d like, but when we do? We talk forever. It’s pretty much ridiculous.
  2. Squealed at the ridiculous amount of adorable at Cute Overload with aforementioned friend.
  3. Read 85% of Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazarus Dole which I really, really like. Reading it makes me hungry! So much talk of Cuban food, so little time! If it wasn’t for the fact that my bus for school leaves in four hours and I haven’t finished my paper yet, I would be finishing it right now!
  4. Watched Trembling Before G-d, a documentary about gay and lesbian orthodox Jews. Heartbreaking, but fantastic at the same time.
  5. Written an infinite amount of lists about what I should be doing.
  6. Began NaBloPoMo at my LiveJournal.
  7. Wrote about 400 words for NaNoWriMo–though I intend on writing about 3,000-4,000 words today after the long-ass nap I plan on taking when I get home from classes. Add me as a writing buddy! I’m pumpkincarriage.
  8. A million other things I probably didn’t need to do, but did anyway.
  9. Wrote this post.

Yeah, seriously, I am the world’s biggest procrastinator. The other day I was procrastinating by reading articles on how to quit procrastinating. Of course, I mostly opened a billion articles in a billion tabs, then just scanned a few and closed the rest and went to do something more fun instead.

Considering the amount I procrastinate, it’s a wonder I actually manage to keep good grades.

How bad do you guys procrastinate? Or how do you avoid it?

This Week Was Awesome Because… (Vol. 1.1)

  1. You know what I love? Making new friends. Also, rediscovering old friends. This week I rediscovered a lot of old friends and discovered many new ones. That’s pretty much one of the most awesome things that can happen to me.
  2. I entered into the planning stages of a year-long YouTube video project with some of the aforementioned newly discovered and rediscovered friends, as well as a few very old, very close friends who are still just awesome.
  3. I found out If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is playing at the Seattle Children’s Theatre until the end of November. The only way I could POSSIBLY be more excited for this is if instead of a mouse, the main character was a moose. And if instead of a cookie, they gave him a muffin.
  4. I got two new nicknames. One of my new friends mentioned in #1, Jackie, has christened me with a new nickname: Hot Donna. As in, Hot Donna on That 70s Show. The nickname is spreading like wildfire, I tell you, wildfire. I give you all permission to call me Hot Donna as often as you’d like.
  5. I’ve decided that every Friday I’m going to blog about why the past week has been awesome. Recalling the awesome things that have happened, even in an otherwise terrible week, will definitely improve my view on things.
