As in "I spent the day Procrasterbating all over eplaya"?
Well, now that I got that done, I'm gonna take the rest of the day off.

Re: Playa Prep Procrastinators
a whole new entry for the lexicon. I shall tell kit about it, soon. I have procasterbated excellently today, I decided that getting the drinks this week is pointless if i get them in a fortnight they will be fresher. so thats not one but 3 things put off not just until tomorrow but for the best part of 2 weeks. I feel so pleased with myself I may even not go to ikea tomorrow. however i do need to text my flatmate and get him bring me a drink

Not really 'my' word...
I confess, I borrowed it from Paydirt, my son's (and my) dear friend, and fellow burner and ePlayan.
She gets Kudos from me for thinking that one up!

Re: Playa Prep Procrastinators
I'm packing! And panicking, on and off. And I am soooo tired, and a dammed cat pissed in my camp cot (only the cover, thank dog), so I have yet another thing to wash. And I can't find my fucking sarongs. Mi know I had one last year. Must be with the cute dreadlock hats my sister knitted me-had those last year too.
I'm not a slut, I'm good time floozy!
