it's time to get to work

i work best under pressure. i know that it is smarter to do a little bit a day over a long period of time, and i was into that for a while. it was going ok, but one day i didn't do anything and suddenly it was "oh i'll just watch this episode of the oc on youtube first," or "oh it's payday well it's obvious that i should go to a movie." i'm not saying those aren't worthwhile things, i'm just saying that when i decided to do them in the back of my mind i knew there was something else i was supposed to be doing. did that make them less enjoyable? no. more enjoyable, if anything. because at this point in my life, i know one thing about myself; that if i do useless things like browsing youtube or going to a three-dollar movie enough times, at one point i will break, get really stressed out about something i have to do, and get to work with a vengeance. well, today is the day. time to put aside the cat sweater i started, time to decide that my christmas mix is exactly right and stop searching for "christmas," "holiday" or "snow" on the itunes store, time to abandon youtube and stop taking two showers a day. i know a million ways to procrastinate and even more ways to justify doing it, but today is my breaking point and i am going to git 'er done.
