Note: if I'm not around much in the next few weeks, it'll be 'coz of uni. Sorry, but I actually kinda hope to pass this time round. I'll be keeping tabs on the flist when I can, but if I'm AWOL, you know why. Doesn't mean I love you any less!

Have you ever considered that your procrastination might be a little more than that.....like ADD. I was the same way in high school, college, and later as a grownup at work. It got so bad, I couldnt concentrate in work, I knew I would be fired for not doing my job. I went to my doctor for medication and its like 150 times better now. I still know how to have funtiems but I also know when to knuckle down and focus. It's a chemical thing in the brain, I couldnt change it on my own but my medication is a real miracle drug....I dont know where I'd be without it. It would be so awesome if you could do uni, which would keep your parents off your ass, and all the fun stuff you really like to do like fangirling. Its just something that popped into my mind.

Also, mentioning cheesecake was just wrong....now I really want some.

[borg_princess]

Hmm, I hadn't actually considered that...wouldn't ADD affect everything? Not just icky boring studies, but like, fandom as well? I don't know much about it, but I would think it would make it difficult to focus on everything in general, but I have no trouble spending hours on fanfics and such.

More likely I'm just a terrible student. *sigh* I used to be good at homework! IDK what changed! I'd totally like to think that if I took some drugs, it'd help fix me, but I don't think that's what's wrong with me.

Hee, just saying the word 'cheesecake' seems to set my flist off! I must remember this... >:P

Btw, who's the chick in your icon? Should I know her? Or is she just a random set person or whatever?

[mcgarrygirl78]

The chick in the icon is Erica Messer, head writer and official new HBIC over at Criminal Minds, in Shemar's new car....got it off Twitter. And she's cute to boot. They have to get Paget back cuz there needs to be more cute.

Annie, how much do I write and fangirl? That has never been affected by my ADD? It just stopped me from stopping all that and getting to work on work stuff when it was time. That was why I ended up going on medication, it got so bad at work that all I was doing was fanfic and work was falling by the wayside cuz I couldnt make myself focus. So I was writing lots of great fanfic but what I was paid to do....not so much.

There would be no harm in getting tested maybe. ADD is over-diganosed in children and under-diagnosed in adults. But it is real and that medicine changed my life. I always thought I was lazy and underachieving, not living up to my potential, and maybe sometimes I was, we can all be, but it was something else too and now that I'm working on that, I've been doing so much more and doing it

[borg_princess]

Oh, that's Erica? Good-looking woman!

Lol, yes, your dedication to fannish pursuits is amazing- though that's you now, with meds and all. I didn't know you before (did I?) so I wasn't sure how much it affected your life. That's...interesting, that ADD had a negative effect just on work and not on other stuff.

it got so bad at work that all I was doing was fanfic and work was falling by the wayside cuz I couldnt make myself focus

THIS IS SO ME. I've spent all day today TRYING to do my essay (ack, due Thursday, I'm doomed) and I kept getting side-tracked by fandom. *facepalm* And when I try reading Sociology, it puts me to sleep. Literally.

I wonder how one goes about being tested for ADD. I can't ask my parents, they'd scoff at the very thought and act like it's an excuse for weak people to justify being failures.

I always thought I was lazy and underachieving, not living up to my potentialAgain, so me. Forgive my ignorance, but is it something that can just crop up in adults? 'coz I was the model student all through high school

LOL I don't think Richard is a dumbass, but I definitely think Rahl is better looking. However I am staring at that double-Craig pic a bit too long.... yeah it was a hard pick.

[borg_princess]

Oh, it's...I'm often frustrated with him over his sentimental nature. He's ruled by his emotions and I'm often tearing my hair out, going, 'If you weren't the hero of the show, this would NEVER WORK.'

And the double standards...like, we were watching- Bloodlines?- and he was okay with letting the innocent woman be dragged off and holding Jennsen back, but as soon as he found it was his mother, he was willing to go to extreme lengths to get her back, including risking his sister's life. That scene where Zedd asked, 'Would you send her into danger?' and Richard goes, 'Would you let your daughter die?', it just...ARGH. He was being all preachy and moralistic and I hated that, because it's Zedd's daughter, he's not writing off some stranger, he knows this woman and loves her and if he's not backing their plan, that should count for something. But Richard shames him and acts like he's totally right and justified and it's not at all appalling that he's sending an innocent young girl into Rahl's clutches. She's the ONE THING HE FEARS MOST

[anuna_81]

Hm, interesting. I never saw Richard quite like that. I remember that moment from Bloodlines and I remeber the intensity of emotion, but that's not how it made me feel. I think each of them, Richard and Zedd, had his reasons to act in the way they did. It was very hard for me to choose who among them was right, it was a highly difficult, very emotional moment

[pristineungift]

LOL girl! I mod a Darken Rahl comm peoplespalace. You should join!

[borg_princess]

YESSS. I am so there. I need some delicious Rahl goodness to wipe out the image of Craig Parker wearing girly pink flowers, lol.

And your icon cracks me up!

[sunshinesky]

Um, I'm pretty much in the same boat procrastination wise. I have an exam in 2 days and another the day after that and another 2 days after that. I know this, but I just can't bring myself to revise. I was doing so well a couple of weeks ago, I was in the library 8 hours a day almost every day but then even with all that preparation I didn't do so well on the exams I had last week and now I can't bring myself to care. Ugh, so annoying. Um, so basically what I'm saying is, I can totally relate and also YAY CHEESECAKE AND LEGEND OF THE SEEKER!

Pfft, Rahl is hotter of course! I mean, I like Richard and everything, but I'm just not attracted to him like I am Rahl. (Also, Craig Parker kills me in the Walter episode, SO IN LOVE ♥)

[borg_princess]

Oh, god, that sounds horrible. Good luck with your exams, bb. *hugs* And whoa, I can't believe you spent hours a day in the library! Were you really studying all that while? *amazed* It sucks that you feel you didn't do good on last week's exams after all that, though. >_< But you did put in tons of effort, whereas I put in none, so I feel like I'm more culpable than you.

Hee, I didn't realize cheesecake was so popular with the flist! I shall have to start taking pics of it and taunting you all :P

YESSSS, I'm so glad my flist has good taste- Rahl's so much hotter, in my eyes, it ain't even a competition. Richard's...well, he was never going to appeal to me, he's too much of a boy, y'know? He can be endearing, but I can't...I can't get all giddy over him. IDK, it's weird, since the actor's older than I am, but I feel like he's more younger brother material, lol.

I ADORE 'WALTER', best ep, omg. I love eps where the protagonists and antagonists are forced to work together and there is snarky banter and hostile humor and just LOVE.

[nicolle_016]

As a die-hard procrastinator myself, I totally sympathize. Honestly, it's like, WHY CAN'T I JUST DO THE STUPID WORK AND GET IT OVER WITH? *sigh* I hope that you get your essay done in time! You still have five days so it's definitely possible!

Cheesecake!! Omg, you have seriously just made me start craving it, haha!

I know nothing about LotS, but I got stamped as Cara...is that a good thing?

Since I don't know these men by name, I'm going to say that the hotter one is whoever's on the left, haha! (I think it's Richard)

[borg_princess]

Honestly, it's like, WHY CAN'T I JUST DO THE STUPID WORK AND GET IT OVER WITH?

IKR? THIIIIIS. It's now Monday...and I still haven't done anything for my essay yet. I tried doing a few readings today....and I fell asleep. I FAIL SO HARD, UGH.

I'm at the point of going 'I'll do it tomorrow'...only I know I won't. *frustrated sigh*

Hehe, I'mma start posting pics of mah cheese-cake now, it seems to have power over the flist. >:D

OMGYES, Cara is the awesomest. She's only in s2, unfortunately, but SO BADASS and FUNNY and FLAWLESS.

Shamelessly pimping my crappy WMM vid, lol.

BOO, RICHARD, REALLY? :P J/k, that's fine, I know objectively that he is rather attractive, but he doesn't do it for me. Interesting how our interests/attitudes are so similar in some areas and diverge so much in others!
