My guilty pleasure: Slacking off and procrastinating.

My guilty pleasure: Slacking off and procrastinating.

Oh my god, this.

I am so this.

The worst part is that the guilt actually has a reason to be there.

I'm currently doing Russian homework, playing a gameboy game, writing a short story, and working my way up to working on a translation of an artbook (from Japanese) for a livejournal community.

I suspect that there is something wrong with me.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

You sound like you live a good life to me.

Solution: write a short story in Japanese about a Russian who plays Game Boy games and post it on LiveJournal.

[breadbocks]

Even better: Write a story about a short Russian who reads LiveJournals in Japanese about Game Boys.

I learned at an early age when telling people all about the video games I played that most people aren't all that interested in hearing about every detail of your hobby, but if you nitpick a few good parts to take away from it then they're very interested in your hobbies, especially if you make it philosophical. But of course you can make anything sound interesting with the right words and a bit of philosophy.

I buttered my toast yesterday... You know toast is a tricky subject, there's a fine balance in getting it just crisp enough and not overly burnt, and how much butter you want to put on it, and at what stage. If you stick the butter on while it's hot it will melt and soak into it, but a talented individual with the right eye for toast temperature can place his butter on there so that it coats the toast perfectly while the toast is still warm enough to be pleasant to eat. It is truly an artform to the right eye... and by honing it you can learn a lot about what people like in toast, and why.

But yes, games, and fantasy books are my guilty pleasures. Especially Terry Pratchett books. His are the best, End. Of. Discussion.

What.
No!
You can't wait to put butter on toast!
You have to apply the butter quickly, so that it melts in to it's maximum potential on both slices... Which is incredibly tricky to do when you're trying to get it to crisp lightly!
Of course, you can sometimes get around this by hanging the buttered toast face down over the toaster to make sure it melts in all the way, but it won't always work. It's a tricky balance!
(And yes, I realise this is just a different opinion. Having butter -on- toast is fine, but I like trying to get it to melt in.)

What was this topic about again? Oh right!
My main guilty pleasure is probably Role Playing. Though I don't really feel that guilty about it.

Who doesn't?

Spooky. I shall not enquire though.

I know that putting off the work I have to do will lead to nothing but pain. The guilt comes when I put it off anyway, because I'm being a dick to my future self.

Haha >_>  Now I'm getting enough work done on all three--far more than I'd probably manage if I were doing one at a time, at least with less frustration, so I feel better about it.

[Darvi]

What is this thing you call "guilt"? Are you talking about those creepy things from Trauma Center? Because in that case you're seriously screwed.

[Fayrik]

That's nowhere near as bad as I thought it was.
In fact, I thought you where putting off work that would save puppies from certain death.
Now that would be a haunting and downright evil reason to procrastinate.

[breadbocks]

Pnx and Fayrik are both wrong. You have to spread the butter on before you toast it.

Seriously, though. Try it. My toast experience changed forever.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

You're all wrong. Butter is horrible no matter how you use it. Peanut Butter & Honey forever!
