    [​IMG] So, how many of you find yourself procrastinating by cruising the SP forums when you know that you should be working on that very important project?

    Come on, you know you do it...

    Currently, I am putting off: working on a conference paper on Jack London, writing a prospectus for my master's thesis, and reading Michel Foucault's The Order of Discourse.

    I'll vote later ... to busy looking at the um-tenth post on "The Perfect Party" for IWD2.

    Wonder when the next Lord of the Rings party will be discussed.

    Maybe I'll do a "Tales of Fire and Ice" Party thread .. that would be original. (ya think Jon Snow might be a ranger???)

    Math, I did a slightly Ice and Fire party in IWD, well it was only with the Clegane brothers but it worked anyway ;)
    Jon IS a ranger, wielding a bastardsword only, no shield and no dualwield.

    eep! *offtopic*

    Why do things today when you can also do it tomorrow? I have a lot of things to do, but there is also a good movie on tv tonight. Well, that's a hard choice watching tv or doing something I don't like to do.

    I'm putting off life in general.
    Right now, I'm putting off getting offline and doing something productive.

    [​IMG] Who can earnestly say they have never procrastinated? Isn't coming here a form of procrastinating? I mean, it means "putting something off until later". I'm sure EVERYONE here has something to do, be it homework, studying, research, buying a present, eating, or using the bathroom. I say that there is never a time in which there is no work to do.

    That said, I consider all forms of entertainment like this procrastinating because there is always important work, at least for me. However, I also believe procrastination is necessary because without it, most of us would die. Also, if you don't procrastinate, you're not human (or dwarf for that matter)...
