The Dilema That is Not a Dilema

[jackshoegazer]

On most days, I am very busy and have little time to read my LJ but I try to do as much as I can whenever I have a free moment.  I read a lot more than I comment, but then, don't we all.  On these days, I curse how big my flist is and think, POST LESS!

However, on days like today, when I have the day off except for the nine pages of cultural anthropology essays I have starting me down like an enraged bull, I need procrastination!  And you people just aren't posting enough!  I keep hanging out on Facebook and I never hang out there.  I log in to play some chess and Scrabble but I never sit around.  Hell, I've even *chatted* with people, which I *never* do!

Okay, fine, so I don't need to procrastinate, and really I haven't today because there's been so little posting on the LJ.  I have two of my three essays complete and I'm going to do the third one as soon as I post this.  Really, I swear.

I wish homework burned calories.

I feel lately like everything I can think to say is sort of shallow. : P I need to read more books, I miss my brain.

Eh, depth merely requires context and often it is too difficult to set up the context within a post. By the time you have the context set for the deep thought, you've written a freaking novel and us veteran LJers know that long posts only get read by very few. Fucking skimmers.

I think that really is the problem sometimes. I'll want to explain how things are but it would take too long and not be entirely accurate anyway.

And they would skim. Fucking skimmers.

It's okay. Loyalists read it all! And who needs accurate? I embellish for dramatic effect all the time.

True dat. I'll take it under consideration. I have a sentence or two rattling around but I'm not sure if it's anything.
