my last final paper of the semester is due in two hours, and i’m something like 4 pages short of the minimum page requirement and about 20 pages short of a kick ass paper. so i’ve kind of given up. no wonder at all that my grade point average will never converge to a 4.0. but you know, sometimes i think it could, if i would just stop procrastinating, start getting on my shit a little earlier, and learn how to focus during crunch times like these. but what have i been doing in the past two hours? scrolling through facebook photos of people i miss. watching snippets of my favourite movies on netflix (for inspiration, konon). listening to the elephant love medley over and over again, and howling “WE COULD BE HEROES! just for one day…!” on my friends’ walls. logging into FRIENDSTER and curiously looking at old photos of old friends. reading about the Official Monster Raving Loony Party of the UK. researching places to visit in Rome (i’m leaving tomorrow!). dissolving into fits of giggles at arthur’s facebook status asking quite seriously how to say seal in Malay — the funniest answer being “encik heidi klum”. trying to figure out which HK star it is that martian’s friend adrian looks like. resuming my lifelong quest to find a “right song” for each of my best friends; so far only joe has a song, and it’s obviously the sound of silence by S&G. trying to finish my letter of polished sarcasm to our beloved Home Minister, about the exact shade of pink i got my toenails done in when my bag was snatched outside my house and the bounce in my mom’s freshly pressed curls when the cops told her to ‘balik tongsan’ when she went to lodge a report about her own mugging. walking one too many times over to starbucks for coffee refills. trying to get my desktop background image of a very sexy brigitte bardot to just the right shade of black and white… and all sorts of other frivolous things. life is so much more fun this way! omg will this paper just write itself already?
… WE COULD BE HEROES! forever and EVER!
