Procrastination
So you have an assignment due on Friday, a 20 percenter (1000-1200 words) in Writing for Popular Mags. Attempt one, which I shall call Version 1.0, a measly 2 lines, lies in my other window collecting e-dust as I try to entertain my caffeinated thoughts. Maybe this is a good little mental warm-up, you know like stretching before tackling that rock-climbing wall or bouldering problem (Yes -I know Devil’s Advocate I haven’t climbed in a while – but I still think I’ll whop your ass!).
Limber your thoughts before creating your next masterpiece?
LOL.
Getting those neural pathways firing in all directions so you can only discover that ‘it’s about time to vacuum your room, dust and do the rest of the things that you didn’t find the time for over the weekend,’ but because you have an assignment lording over you, now is better time than any. My mental browser tracks between the aforementioned assignment, boring-ass work this arvo and Her. I like the frenetic pace of my tangled thoughts, ‘twisted reasons that strange my mind like liquorice laces.’
Perhaps I like the pressure. Diamonds after all, are created by such.

Isn’t it amazing how even cleaning can seem like a valid task when you know you have an assignment due? My house is always spotless around the time that I have deadlines looming.
“Perhaps I like the pressure. Diamonds after all, are created by such.” I have a feeling this is the theory that most students run on. If only the pressure wasn’t so stressful.. lol.

…and if only my grades sparkled like one.

You can THINK what you want with all that “mental stretching”. I’ve got a wicked dino problem that you should try.
It’s a dino on the 45!

wow dyno on 45 is pretty impressive. but you have to remember you are taller than me so if it’s a long way it’ll be hard. the real leveller is power to body-weight ratio climbs, crimping all the way.
