Work and Pleasure

[Chu]

This is my first free weekend all school-year, and how am I spending it? Working on Midorea and doing housework.

I went to a World Fest with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, and what did I do? Hunt down people to advertise with the school newspaper we work on.

I guess I'm a workaholic. Sam was getting upset with me because I wasn't "properly enjoying" the festival, but the thing is, I was. If I weren't doing something productive, I would've gotten bored. Without some level of productivity, I get anxious.


Any other workaholics out there? What do you do with your free time?

[Spieluhr]

I wish!
I'm a lazy bum hahah, well past the age of taking responsibilities and work, yet I rarely do anything useful. I admire you productive people. I think my nature is that of a dreamer and so I'm always in lala-land, looking for things on the internet, listening to music, drawing and gaming. Peter Pan Syndrome. It fits me perfectly.

Whenever I try doing the dishes or sweeping the floor I get horrible, killer back pains, that I feel like I'm gonna die.

Probably not the reply you were looking for, but any advice on being more like you while we're at it? :P (I bet leaving the parents' house would be a start though XD)
At the very least you never need to feel bad for being irresponsible, so no one has the right to call you out on how you live. That has to be a great feeling.

I don't mind your response. XD Anything to ignite conversation.

Honestly, I think that I've always been like this. I have periods of lethargy like everyone else - in fact, I'm only productive when I enjoy it. I spent an hour and a half scrubbing the bathtub clean yesterday because I wanted a bath, but I'd never touch that thing otherwise.

In short, I think that people are just born with or without tenacious personalities, and while you can always do things like making a schedule, assigning yourself short-term goals with immediate gratification, or even having someone breath down your neck until you get it down, that's never going to change who you are; it only tricks you for a moment into thinking that way. There's nothing wrong with moving at your own pace.


And if Raz caught me saying this he'd immediately cry "BULLSHIT." XD Because I'm so tenacious, in fact, that I'm always bitching at him for not moving at my pace. What can I say? Your loved ones bring out the worst in you.

I would have smacked you..

I can understand needing to have something productive to do but...honestly there's always a time and place and I can understand how he got annoyed with you.

[Chu]

Isn't it understandable that the time and place for things is purely subjective? ;p I think so.

[Overlord Branny]

I think you put too much thought into everything and don't understand that sometimes its better to do nothing and just enjoy everything around you..

I would enjoy torturing you...like putting you in a round room and telling you to sit in the corner or something.

There's no reasoning with you...woman. lol

[Chu]

If I don't think, then I'm not being useful. And it's boring.

AND that would indeed freak me out because there are no corners in round rooms. I'd just cling to the side of the room and think about ways to get back at you though. :3


If it makes you feel any better, I had a legit reason to do that. Remember my anxiety? I'm still in the process of getting over it, so without a sufficient distraction I would've become reclusive because of the crowd. I've realized that if I narrow my train of thought, it's easier to cope.

Then again, that goes back to my problem of thinking too much. I think too much about the crowd so I get anxious, so I have to think about not thinking about the crowd to fix it. Maybe one day I won't have to think at all.


But I'm getting off topic. D:

I have a four day weekend starting Friday. Guess what I'm diving into? Midorea project!

But I'll probably hang out with friends on Thursday.
