I feel like I should have learned things like planning and organization by now. Everyone else seems to be able to do it, and I just can't.

I am living proof that you can write a dissertation with very little in the way of planning and organizational skills. Esp the latter, I am truly disorganized. (I am also deeply lazy.)

You WILL finish it, it just feels impossible right now.

Pete is the hyper-planning type, tho'.o

I kept hoping I would meet a Pete, but I keep meeting people who need me to organize them! So I now have to sort of organize myself! My old boss met an organizy type when she was fifty, though, so I guess it is not too late for me!

Oh, God, I just want to hug the stuffing out of you.

JZ said what I'm feeling.

You save yours up too. I'll collect it as soon as I can.

{{{Sean}}} After the others hug the stuffing out of you, I'll gently put it back.

Me, too. I am v. organized. I feel very discombobulated when my house is unorganized. Which is yet further proof that I should not be a parent.

I am a completely classic Virgo. Left to my own devices, I would organize and alphabetize everything to within an inch of its life. And then get crazy annoyed the nanosecond anyone messed with it.

But I'm also a clutter-hound. So I keep my own clutter organized and I don't clean (it's the one thing I consider to be s important an expense as say, electricity). As long as things are relatively neat, I don't stress the dust bunnies.

I'm so sad.

But this is not me. I don't like clutter and am ruthless in weeding my stuff.

I'm really lucky that I have two super-organized people in my life, actually. I've got Pete, and I've got Alexia, who was the organizational brain for most of the Seattle goth scene.

Left to my own devices, I would organize and alphabetize everything to within an inch of its life.

The way my bookshelves are "organized" would drive you to tears. Pete doesn't even try and find books, he just asks me where I put them. But I have them arranged in the way it makes sense in my head.

You save yours up too. I'll collect it as soon as I can.

I'm holding you to that.

I don't like clutter and am ruthless in weeding my stuff.

I know what all those words mean individually, but I cannot understand what you just said. I am the child of two pack-rats. I might NEED that box full of ... random sparkly bits. For a hat. Or something.

Okay. Sleep now. Plane in morning.

Steph: Huh. I remember that *I* had a complete psychotic break at the SF2F Prom (and I'm only slightly kidding about that, but it is the biggest factor in my non-attendance at subsequent F2Fs), but you seemed totally fine. Go team Xanax!

Aims: You were the one Kristin checked with before giving it to me cause I was on the Lamictal and I was fall.ing. apart in Amyth, Kate P, smonster, and juliana's room.

What was it about the SF2F? I went freakin' crazy and have avoided you all ever since.
