Procrastination : A Way to Productivity

by snaggle at 11:55 PM on July 24, 2001

Okay, okay. I freely admit it — I have been a bad Bad Samaritan. It's now the end of July and this is only my second post of the month. How could I have been so heartless and cruel to deprive you all of my words of unparalleled wit and wisdom?

Well, think of it this way — I am your special treat. Unless you're rolling in dough and have a full-time chef to appease every desire of your discriminating palate, you can't have filet mignon with a creme fraîche and morel mushroom sauce every day. Or, if you’re a vegetarian, truffle risotto with a light Pinot Grigio. Sometimes you have to have the Lipton noodle packets or Ramen noodles or macaroni & cheese. Not that I’m dissing Ramen — ooooh, no indeed. I love Ramen. I’m having some right now, in fact. However, it would take all the novelty out of fine foods if you had them every day. There are those stories of the rich nobleman who, by some twist of fate, ends up sharing a hearty peasant loaf with the very peasants he demeans every day. He finds out they’re good people, blah blah blah… but the food is great. You can’t have the best meal of your life every day. Think of me as that bottle of fine wine you pull out on special occasions or that rich, sinful dessert you indulge in on occasion or that exquisite four-course dinner your gourmet chef friend prepared that night you all had too much time and ended up having an orgy.

Truth be told, once school starts I'll most likely be posting more regularly again. This summer I don't have any classes or anything, so I have plenty of free time. Once classes begin and I'm pressed for time again, I'll be able to post more frequently. You know what I'm talking about. When do you blog the most? Whenever you have other things you should be doing. I don't know about the rest of you, but I always get the most done when I should be doing something else. Seriously — the most productive times in my life are those times when I should be doing something else entirely. Paper due tomorrow? Let's clean my room. Test tomorrow? Let's go through all my friends' blogs. Have to study? Let's write a new post for Bad Samaritan.

Oh, and no, I haven’t forgotten than I promised you all a story about me getting a little flava. It’s not a very exciting story, really, but it needs to be told since it officially reset my counter. Now, instead of it being almost two years since I’ve gotten any, it’s been almost two weeks. Alas, that story will once again have to wait until another day. (Watch me just building it up and really it’s about a paragraph’s length of a story. Heh.)

I’ll write again soon, I promise. You need a good meal.

You suck, Snaggle. I'm highly disappointed now! :-)

by Lilly at July 25, 2001 9:56 AM

*grins* I am indeedy do the Snaggle of Bad Samaritan fame. VISIT WWW.BADSAMARITAN.COM I've considered getting the URL tattooed on my forehead VISIT WWW.BADSAMARITAN.COM, but I've just taken to plugging the site verbally every five VISIT WWW.BADSAMARITAN.COM seconds.

Why should I forgive you?! You're still holding out on us. You know what to do to make amends.

by Lilly at July 26, 2001 1:51 PM


Oh, is this that "post more frequently" idea you were talking about? I'm not sure about that.. I'm still not convinced it exists. I think it's a fairy tale... and not one told by my kind of fairy.

Got a good IDEA Snaggle! If your going gor the Tattoo, how about this one?

i would postulate that the ‘amends’ referred to, would be the story of the resetting of your counter. just a theory.

by kd at July 26, 2001 9:47 PM


Thank you, kd. Fucking snag the fag is toying with us, the fucker. :-) (literally and figuratively, *apparently*.)

Kay, here's one to really make you squirm — I have the post of that night written, but I'm waiting for pictures to be developed. *grins* I should have them in my grubby hands by Sunday and I may be able to attack a scanner that day. It might, however, have to wait until later... give me some sympathy! I have to move next week! *cries* I hate moving. Sigh.
