Things I’d rather do

So I’m going to make another list. Sorry for all the lists this evening, but I am feeling listless (that was a knee slapper). Also I am trying to make up for not posting this weekend. And there is probably one more reason.

I am a huge To-do list person. I cannot function with a planner. I just get a notebook and write down all the things I have to do, so I can see them all on one page and I know what is required of me. I think the main reason I like lists is the feeling I get after I cross something off of one. Its that instantaneous burst of joy that is like “YESSSSSSSSSS! I’VE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING!” I would almost even go as far as comparing it to the fridge feeling (see “My own Refrigerator”) except not as strong or lasting, because it is a fleeting feeling.

Anyway, I am probably making so many lists because I am ignoring my To-Do list which does not contain anything nearly as fun as what I am about to describe.

A List of all the things I would rather do than what I’m actually supposed to do.

My mom accused me of wanting to have fun 24/24 (yes she actually said that). When I told her that didn’t make sense, she said that she meant I wanted to have fun 24 hours out of everyday, which is 24 hours. She also said that I should be lucky if I get to have 1 hour of fun out of every 24 and that often times I should have no hours of fun because life sucks a lot of times and fun should not be expected. I gave her angry looks and went to have 48 hours of fun in every 24 hours. Take that fun-ruiner.

But I digress:

• Listen to music and try to find new bands/artists to like
• Dance around my room or house or just where ever
• Go to dance class
• Blog about things
• Pretend to be working on the things I have to be doing
• Text people that may or may not be my friends
• Watch Glee, Saturday Night Live clips, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock or Family Guy on hulu
• Read books (that do not pertain in any way to school)
• Facebook
• Watch movies
• Go to the library and find fun/strange books and movies
• Think about all the things I should be doing and plan on doing them very soon
• Read the newspaper or magazines
• Change the words to songs to make them funny
• Make food (like cookies or cupcakes or anything microwavable)
• Stare out the window
• Look at old pictures
• Make lists of all the things I should be doing and then think about doing them
• Plan sleepovers and events with friends
• Go to the movies
• Go out to eat
• Go to iyogurt
• Make lists of things I’d rather do than all the things I’m supposed to actually do
