The Writing List

Sometimes, I don't really feel inspired to write whatever is in my head.  It doesn't make sense, and because their is no one expecting it, then it's much easier to procrastinate those tasks, even though Denise Austen once told me that "the only person you cheat by procrastination is yourself."  So, I end up writing on commission most of the time.  Truth be told, I enjoy it a lot better because it usually makes me focus on something that I didn't know.  But, when I decide to write a lot of short articles on commission in one day, the subjects get a little crazy.  Here's a list of my topics from today:

-Michelle Obama's short shorts
-Paypal's pricing policy
-Parking lot stripes
-Female hair loss
-Air Force Cyber Command
-Motion comics
-Flickr and the iPhone
-Andalusian Stitch
-Anal Probes

See, the joke about that list is that it isn't a joke.  So, now for a day when I barely left the house, I actually became a lot better informed about the world and what's going on.  Sure, some of its stupid and I'll never use again (Cyber Command is in San Antonio; the Andalusian Stitch is knit and purl alternating rows).  Other knowledge, though...well, at least I can bring it up in conversation if things go south.  Because who doesn't love a good chat about anal probes?  What if I meet those Shop Erotica women in LA?  I want to be on their conversational level.  So, thank you random writing assignments for that chance.

By the way, this might be tomorrow's blog post, but a march means nothing if you don't have a purpose.  Dissatisfaction isn't enough.  What is your goal?  Here's a hint for those working on the essay question:  for full credit, answers are more tangible than "change" or "hope."

In other news, nothing else is really going on.  I'm worrying about my friends a lot today as they go back to school, finish up the quarter, or embark upon their real lives for the first time that they don't have to go back to school.  I move in seven days.  Bizarre. Absolutely bizarre.
