(no subject)

So, I'm procrastinating writing a paper. No surprise there, huh? I also didn't get in my word count today, I was too busy doing stats and reading Reasoning with Vampires. But mostly stats.

It kind of sucks, because the topic my paper's on is actually pretty interesting; it's just that, in having to do the work, I suddenly can think of tons of other things to do. I say, "If I had more time, I'd actually do the research" but I had time, and I didn't do the research, and if I had more time, I know I wouldn't.

It's that lack of research that makes me so sorely tempted to quote Trace, but I don't think it counts as a valid source, and even if it does (I mean, it should, even if it is fiction; it's even pretty relevant to my essay) I'm still young enough that I feel immensely awkward using anything containing sex scenes as evidence in an essay. Besides, it's not like I couldn't find tons of stuff in the library databases if I just looked; I mean, that's what they're there for.

Ugh. Procrastinating procrastinating procrastinating. None of this is getting the paper written, of course. I think I might do fake research on this one like I did my Cinderella essay - you know, write the essay first, stick quotes in later. (It can never possibly backfire, so long as you remember to take all your quote placeholders out. Especially if you write quote placeholders like I write quote placeholders. Fortunately, I haven't forgotten them... yet.)

At least this is literally the only pressing thing I have due, and tomorrow I can mostly disengage my brain. There's also no class on Friday, because it is a holiday.

Can it be Friday now? Or even Thursday night. I'm not picky.
