Silliness for Sanity

An e-mail I sent to a friend late last night, as I was "writing my research paper." This is what a budding English student does to procrastinate when said English student has a research paper to write. :D I also forwarded it to my English teacher, so that she could see what a hard-working individual I was.



I want to call you and waste hours and hours talking to you (with many long awkward pauses) and not doing my research paper. . .

I want to go to the park and sit by the lake and ponder life and not do my research paper. . . .

I want to write poetry and journal and not write my research paper. . . .

I want to be scandalous and come sit on your front porch and make spooky noises that distract you from studying, while avoiding doing my research paper. . .

I want to eat ice cream and throw the document "research paper" away in my computer recycle bin forever. . .

I want to sleep. . .

I'm going outside to do my work on the trampoline. Surely, surely, that will help me to focus. I wonder if I can jump and write at the same time?

Hey, do you want to hang out this weekend? Because you see, this weekend, I have blocked off for writing a research paper. And you see, this weekend, I need an excuse to not work on that paper. :D *hint, hint*

You should call me and distract me from my research paper.

No you shouldn't. 'Twould be bad of you.

I'm such a baby.

If I keep writing, maybe I can turn this in instead of my paper.

Okay I should go now.

Talk to you later.

Or maybe sooner.

Toodles,
