Welcome to Gaia! ::

Have you ever put something off so much that it becomes impossible to do?

Being a huge procrastinator, this has happened way too often for me.

Once instance involved my computer. The poor thing was getting a new virus every minute, and I was too lazy to check my anti-virus stuff to make sure they're working. I did run a scan every day, but they never really helped. I think one of the scans came up with over 1000 viruses. Eventually Windows 2000 Professional was no longer usable: Several programs failed to work, Gaia online was impossible to use, I couldn't open the hotmail homepage. And, when searching for my music files, I found pr0n. crying It was too late to clean out the computer.
Computer over.
Virus = very yes.
We ended up reformatting it completely. No more stuff.

Also... My room. xd I look at pictures of clean bedrooms, I see my friends' wonderfully organized rooms every time I visit. The main reason mine isn't like that is because it's too messy to clean. Trying to clean one thing means cleaning another, and that's impossible without moving more stuff. The farthest we've got was a clean floor, but the closets are still stuffed with crap. Not to mention, the clothes piles will explode onto the floor again in no time at all. That probably didn't make sense, but oh well. xd

Yeah. I keep meaning to go through my brother's room and claim the things I left in there when I traded rooms with him LAST YEAR ... sweatdrop

Someday I'm going to get some big organization bins and clean/organize my room. Really. Someday... And then I'll get rid of all the unwanted furniture and put in something nicer. And get better storage. And all that good stuff.

Yeah.

*cough*

Ah, that reminded me of another instance.

Mom: Shawna, get off the computer and do the dishes!
Me: Just a minute, I'm in the middle of something...
(15 minutes later)
Mom: Shawna!
Me: Hold on...
(Thirty minutes later, I go to bed.)

...And Mom ends up doing the dishes. She's never happy when that happens. :U

Heh. When I clean the layer of stuff covering my bedroom carpet, I find the carpet underneath pristine. No crumbs, no particles, just clean carpet. It's like the clothes and papers and boxes and s**t are a band-aid, protecting the carpet underneath. wink

Except when the fleas hatch, of course. Damn fleas. ><

I do this a lot too. Especially with homework. I'll be on the computer, usually on Gaia, and think that I'll do it later, until eventually it gets so late, I put it off until the morning. Then, I don't do it until aobut 20 mimnutes before school starts. gonk

My room is incredibly messy too. About the only place you can see any significant space of floor is where the door goes over when its opened. When it's the holidays my mum tries to get me to tidy it, but I put it off, fof cours.e When I do try, I just get distracted by old things I'd forgotten about/not seen in a while. >_>

Currently, I've been putting off getting ready for college. I am just terrified of the next step into adult life. Bills, full-time jobs, full-time student... It's just going to overwhelm me and I'll break down and cry for a full weekend.

Yes, I have things boxed up ready to go, but that's because I'm excited about moving away. I just don't want to face all the mean adult things that will just make me miss being a kid. It's very scary for me, so I've been putting it off until today.

And now I can't do anything because my parents need to talk to my principal about a few things. And they are worse procrastinators than me. So it will be close to fall until I can do a blasted thing.
