I believe, good Anal Planning doesn't result in the seat of your pants flying... or maybe it does.

So then Procrasterbating be the Verb version.
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.

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

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!
