One big component of procrastination can be perfectionism.
I've slowly, painfully learned that waiting for the time to be "right" or holding off until I can do it the way I want the first time is a recipe for never getting it done.

I am watching Sunday Morning. Apparently I've been pronouncing the artist Ed Ruscha's name wrong. It's "Rue-shay", not "Rue-sha".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Allyson!
Control freaks tend to be bottoms, no? It's where they get release.
cocks eyebrow, picks up asshook.
I'm a total control freak, and have no desire to surrender that control in an intimate surrounding.
Word.
Okay, I get this Supes/Bats (SFW) more.
Aw...
ON the way there, I found another pinned down, shredded costume S/B. I guess Jesse was right on that one.
And that one you didn't post a link to? Come on, ita, I never even thought about S/B before, and now I want more.
sarameg, thank you; I've taken notes on your clothes organizing scheme.

Happy Birthday, Allyson!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy belated, Allyson!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Allyson!
I keep meaning to go through my wardrobe to purge the stuff I haven't worn in a long time and have no intention of ever wearing again. I end up feeling like I would be a bad person for giving such stuff to Goodwill, since the items are all waaaaay out of fashion.

That would not be anything new for Goodwill...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy belated birthday, Allyson!!

Goodwill's out of style clothes are next decades' vintage clothing finds. (Think of it as the Circle of Life Apparel.)

Compassionately intolerant
(Think of it as the Circle of Life Apparel.)
That's hysterical.
I was thinking the same thing. One person's out of style is another person's hipster glory.
Makes me think of the part in Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point about how Hush Puppies made it back from the brink. You just never know who wants what.
At a clothing exchange last year, someone brought an enormous, purple fleece...thing. It's sort of a cross between a long swing coat and, okay, a snuggie. It even has an attached length of fabric that could arguably be called a scarf.
Everyone laughed at it. But, you know what? That thing saved me this winter. I'm warm all the time and I even get compliments on the street. Maybe people comment because they are appalled. Who cares! I'm warm.
I guess the moral is: Old and odd could save a life. You never know.
