Why is it, that when I do LJ, I am always procrastinating? Is it the nature of the friends page that makes it so totally unavoidable when I have things to avoid?

London is looking less and less likely, fuck it all. I need to contain my expectations, or I will end up furious and disappointed. Which leads to nothing good, no concentration, decapitations left and right.

(You've also just experienced what teachers and lecturers alike have been hounding me for for years: my excessive use of punctuation. The commas are there for a reason, you do not leave them out, they are important. It is a matter of style and I get to direct how you read what I write. Commas and semicolons are also the only way of getting my non-stop sentences pronouncable.)

Right, what I was really going to write, is this: I think I have come to the bottom of my postmodern project. What the internet has done is create a connection, and it created serious hypertextuality. Now all I need to do is spend a few weeks in the library, reading up on what everyone else has said about it and make lists of why, exactly, they're wrong. Perhaps this is the way I will change the world, not by cracking open chests and holding hearts, but by wrecking literature.

It is so easy to lose hours on here when you're meant to be doing other things. Someday I will own a computer smart enough to read my mind and know I'm meant to be procrastinating, and it will only let me do things on it that contribute to the task in hand.

Until then, everything is going to take three times as long as necessary.

It's horrid, the time it takes to get things done. I had something almost as good as a mind-reading computer: a program that seriously locked you out of browsers and all other programs you specify, for the time you specify. You simply had to wait till the time was up. Unfortunately, I can't find it.

Long live procrastination!
