3 different ways to Procrastinate

I am (or was, in your case) meant to be doing my English essay ("How Shakespeare presents Romeo, compared to Baz Luhrmann's film version, in the two key scenes") but there was this magazine next to me ("Writing Magazine" November 2011. Yes, I am a that type of person who buys magazines for the retired middle-class. I told you I'm old.) and decided to flick through it when I saw an interesting article written by Lorraine Jennings about 3 different types of procrastination. It's just a jokey article (well, I thought it was quite funny) and it is linked with what I am doing right now... so I thought I'd share it with you :)

1. Passive Procrastination. Or idle surfing the net. You're not sure what you're looking for but anything other than doing the work-that-must-be-done will do.
2. Positive Procrastination. Now this is guilt-free. You're constantly telling us how we should tweet 'like' and link-in with our fellow writers. We hit these sites without care in the world. All for the good of our writing, of course.
3. Productive Procrastination. It surfaced once I'd accepted a commission recently. "Pony" wanted five articles in two weeks. I was delighful. I opened five new documents. I wrote Pony Winter Series on top of each one and the thoughts started to flow. I've since written three articles about New Year's Resolutions, two on giving up smoking and two about writing - not to mention this letter. Productive it may be but procrastination it still is. Does anyone out there know anything about horse riding?

I think im on the fence between doing positive prcrastination and productive procrastination right now... hmm... ah well :)

Hello...

I feel I should give you an introduction, or something, so that you and I could connect more *wink-wink* To be honest, I really don’t think anyone is going to read this. Maybe someone would bump into it by “accident” but nobody would really be following me*sad face*
I don’t mind, the only reason why I’m doing this is because I felt like doing a blog.
Anyways, A brief summery of me: I’m a “hyperlink child” (you know, Filipino-Scottish, Irish-English, African-American. In my case I’m the first one.) which also means I am bilingual (I'm not bragging or anything ;) ), currently living in Devon (south-west of England), I am one of those old 16 year old (I like Gllen Miller, Billy Holiday,  Fleetwood Mac (before Peter Green left), I could read for England, play classical music (piano and guitar, want to play the violin), people I adore in the celebrity industry: Steven Fry, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, etc, I like to sew and knit, things like that that makes me unlike other 16 year olds. But I am very glad to say I am not alone in this world (believe it or not), I am also a modern hippie, I am artistic which means (not always, but in my case it would make sense) I believe there is beauty in everything, I am a: xenophile, bibllophile, numismatist, cruciverbalist, deltiologist, phllatelist, zoophile and (quite obviously) a logophile. (yes, I did just look those up to sound clever.. too much?)
Well, that’s a very tiny bit about me (in a nutshell)but that's all you'll know as I am mainly going to be posting things I find interesting.. nothing personal (lucky you).
Okay, I’m rambling, a lot. Sorry about that… but at least you know a bit more about the blogger, and if you want to find out anymore, well, read on.


... or don't.
