Don't try to lie to me, Foxkei. Many of you, maybe even most of you, as you read this, have something you should probably be doing but aren't. Maybe a whole list.

This is where we go self-aware and totally post all about that stuff. Yeah. Rockin'.

Me?

I should be writing or working on any one of like 8 writing projects but nope! Making this thread.

How about you guys?

A procrastination thread? Kick-ass!

Just off the top of my head, here are a few of the monkeys on my back:

Order some new checkbooks. The address on all my remaining checks is outdated.
Get started on Christmas shopping. The sooner I get that out of the way, the better.
Write the ending to the Magus' Castle story on 1up. (That's right, Red Wizard, I haven't forgotten!)
Get a credit card. I'm 25 and I still don't have one. I need to start building up my credit sometime.
Call ACS (the company handling my student loans) to make sure they're aware that I've graduated.
Submit some videos to Botchamania (http://botchamania.com/). I have a few in mind, but I just haven't gotten around to gathering them and posting them yet.
Clean out my dehumidifier. It's getting dusty.
Read MS Paint Adventures (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?viewpage=archive) at Chuko's recommendation.

...just to name a few.

I don't like to think too far ahead. I've got a paper due tomorrow at 5, but I'm getting up early and driving to campus to complete it. I already have my sources and an outline down so it shouldn't take any longer than an hour and a half. I just don't feel like doing it tonight.

In that, I am putting it off but I am putting it off in a way that doesn't endanger me. Hahah..

it doesn't have to be an immediate threat.

"I'm on foxkei but my house is burning down and I really should call 911 but first one more thread"

and

"I should brush my teeth, but I am on foxkei"

are both acceptable here.

Well, my house is burning down right now...

Well you should probably take care of that now.

UPDATE:

I just got another idea for a writing project!


....but it's dumb and I need to write other things.

So instead, I am posting on foxkei about it all.

I've been putting off researching a ton of warhammer 40k novels, and strangely enough I've been putting off playing Dark Crusade by playing GTAIV (which while also a great game isn't as much sheer FUN and AWESOME) and being online. Strange.

I just thought of something else: I need to defrost my mini-fridge. And when I say "defrost," I really mean "Chip away at the incredibly thick layer of ice that has formed in the upper area with a screwdriver." It wouldn't get this bad if I'd just remember to clean it out every few months, but it's just one of those things I never think about.

Two stories for my shitty short fiction class (I hate this kind of writing - boring, mundane, un-fantastic), a case book I have to put together with three articles with 2 page introductions, studying grammar.. School in general.

I am putting off giving back alll the bullshit an asshat left at my house until his mother (the only person left he could call on me) arrives to pick it up. I have zero doubt he will not return the only thing he has of mine (my house key). I could totally pull a hostage type situation if I wanted. But I will not.
