'The Girl in Question'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
She told me "well, you always do everything so thoroughly, I figured I wasn't wrong." Which was nice to hear. But also? Really funny. I'm a class A procrastinator.Do you think you're a Procrastinating Perfectionist? That's what happens to me. I can't let go of stuff because it could always be better. And sometimes I can't start stuff, because I want it to be perfect, and I don't have the time to make it perfect.

This is me. Lazy perfectionist.
So I'm watching the Pussycat Dolls show, and it's kind of funny because the lead singer from Pussycat Dolls was in that Popstars show, back in the day -- Eden's Crush!
hey, I can finally figure out what the hell ita and Jesse are talking about with patties and coco bread and...
I had a patty for the first time on Friday, I know what they are now! And what they are is delicious. Also tried some goat curry (yum) and ting. Other stuff was also yum, but not new to me.
lori, thanks for the update on Robin. Have you heard anything, today? How's Kat? Does she still have her lungs?
go go team lower interest rates. just got a 0% card and dumped some balances. now if I could just actually pay it off. current payment plan puts me 4 years away. Maybe a big chunk payment with tax refund will help.
Cindy, haven't heard anything else today, and have been too swamped with work to visit. Kat is still coughing, but it's less than it has been.
I just realized that I'll never get a 0% card offer again, due to the Fucking Identity Theft. (Or at least for the next five years or however long the hold I put on my credit reports lasts.)
Cindy, I have an element of that, though I'm mostly reformed. Truth to tell, what I do most of all is put things off until I have juuuust enough time to finish them. Partly a response to the perfectionist issue. In college, I had it down to an art. Given a deadline, I'd wait until I had just enough time to finish whatever project and get a good night's sleep. Only time I pulled all nighters was when I got so wrapped up in something, I wanted it done in one fell swoop.
I hatedhatedhated open ended exams (of which there were many) because they'd assign x consecutive hours to take the exam at some point in exam week and I'd usually finish in x/2. After much angsting, I learned to put it away once my brain was tapped and completely forget what I'd done in order to not lose my mind. I was the only person in the class to lobby for a shorter test interval. Actually, I was the only student my profs knew in 30+ years of teaching who requested such.
The one problem with my work is that they are very leisurely about assigning deadlines. So I get away with murder.
