Yellow Rose's Garden

I hope the new year has started well for everyone!

Goal progress:

I finished at least three story pieces and have one poking at my head. 
I finished the new book, The Amber Spyglass. I'm still listening to Inkspell, but I don't honestly recall if I have read it before or not! Started No Place Like Home by Fern Michaels.
I wrote two personal letters. I think e-mail should count after all as long as it's personal.
My house is in better order than normal. Why's that scare me?
Not exactly working on menus, yet, but we are using up the things in the cabinets and freezer which was the main goal.
I read two more chapters in Voyager by Diana Gabaldon
I got some work done on the photo album covers.

( More stuff on the Daily Babble )

So, here I go 

Procrastination is my worst habit. Not overeating, not not exercising as much as I should.. but procrastination.  I keep putting things off. This doesn't make things easier and, sometimes, I lose the chance to do them.

I need to make a list of everyone that I want and need to write to and stick to it. There are a lot of people I should write to ... including some people that I've been avoiding for fear of hurting their feelings in some manner.

I have like 20 minutes and then it's back to housework. Sad that I just wasted like 10 staring at the screen. And people wonder why I just up and log out anymore without a goodbye? I get tired, it's no offense meant, really it's not. I just don't feel the need to continually share the fact that I'm bored off my ass, don't feel like joining in on what some of my friends are doing, and don't feel like looking at a chat screen. I'm also tired of little guilt trips being dropped. I'll get to that at another time.

Sometimes, I have Trillion on because I want to chat in IMs while I do my crafts, but I don't want to play.  I miss the days of "Is online but in a private room." I'd rather be teased about who is doing what to whom than avoided because people think I'm busy RPing or something. If I'm THAT busy, I'll log out or block. There are very few people I have on permanent block. Most of them are the... "start up the IM RP without a freaking clue of what's what" types and the other has a habit of IMming me under various SNs and then telling me if I don't want to talk to him, I can block him. Uh... I DID BLOCK. Going out of ones way to avoid that block is harassment and possibly stalking. However, no one seems to be able to get that through to the guy.

I got this in e-mail .... Pffffffft... do these kids have nothing better to do?
