Me! All Me All The Time!

[trouble]

I just added this to my email signatures:

Please Note: My access to the internet is such that I will only be able to respond to emails after 11 p.m. GMT (7 p.m. AST)

You may be thinking "Oh, this will be like last school year, where Anna writes that but doesn't actually mean that because she's constantly online anyway. Alas, no. I'm going to start actually turning off my internet access during the day. I'm finding it way too distracting (just a little bit of Echo Bazaar! Oh, and I'll check my reading list. And I have to check the modqueue. Oh, and email. And tumblr. And maybe twitter. I wonder if my turns have refreshed on EBZ yet.... Huh, the day's done. What did I do today?), and while I'm certain there are people happy to snicker at my lack of self control, whatever. Internet is going off. Hopefully this will lead to Thesis Completion: 100%.

Getting Rid Of All The Things hasn't been going according to plan this week, woe. However, we have revised the plan accordingly, and I think we'll still be on schedule for Getting Rid Of All The Clothes for Friday. Yay! (Not all the clothes, obviously. Just the not wanted ones.) Books are still everywhere, but that's for next month.

I sent Don out to get me cake, and he did not get me cake. We should all shun him now.

I found this post on heading back to university interesting.

My wee lappy-top is driving me up the fucking wall. I hope whatever device you use to access the internet is not doing the same to you. Rather than risk rage-tossing it through the nearest window, I'm going to think about the tasty foods that are on my cooking agenda for the coming week.

*currently shunning Don*
*until such time as there are toaster waffle sandwiches*
*or cake*

I think getting rid of All The Clothes would create Quite The Sensation, and you should really reconsider your position.

The cake is a lie?! That's very evil.

*shuns Don*

*Shuns*

Laptops are the tool of the devil. They lure you in with promises of easy, portable internet and writing in bed, then break your heart like a high school girl/boyfriend. *sighs*

LACK OF CAKE?!?

My laptop is also being especially flaky today (same trouble as for the past few weeks, but it isn't usually this bad). Now commenting from an old machine of limited capabilities. You have my sympathy!

What's your twitter name?

My thesis will be done within the next two days.

I may not sleep to get this accomplished, but it's bloody well happening because I don't have a choice.

*panics*

I am making apple and pear crumble! You are welcome to come over for some of that in lieu of cake.

I have been on an organization and purge kick with my items. I want to organize what I have so I can determine what to keep and what to get out of the house. :) I found it incredibly liberating to clear out my closet and armoire of clothing I wasn't wearing and wouldn't wear. Yes, it's boxed up and not out of the house, but it's not cluttering up my room any longer.

My netbook spontaneously fixed itself over the weekend. I hope your does the same...

Thinking about cooking and tastyfoods always helps me. *snug* And goodonyer for shutting off the internet. I still can't bring myself to do that, even though I'd be so much more productive...
