My Vices: I’m a Bad Bad Girl
Okay, I suck at reading—apparently. I’ve honestly reached a lifetime low: in two months, two months!, I’ve read only 3 books worth mentioning. In an effort to remedy this vice, I’ve decided to read 5 books this week. I don’t know if my deciding to read books is going to turn into my actually reading them—I know why I haven’t been reading. a) I dislike library books b) I’m stingy and don’t wish to buy books and c) I don’t want to read the books I have/can get for free. Help? :)
In other news, Lene tagged me.
What you have to do in this is the following:
- List five vices you have, with a description if you want to.
- Tag five bloggers for this meme.
- Link back to the blogger who tagged you, and this post if you want to be nice!
Arguing. I really like getting into intense conversations on random things. I like conflict; I like arguing about silly stuff. As long as everything stays playful, I find verbal sparring fun. Sometimes, when I’m tired and haven’t had my fill of quick-witted battles – I take little jabs at my friends… I’m impatient and want to play. :(
The Internet. I often use the Internet in an unproductive manner. ‘fo shame. :(
Ability to do Nothing. This is related to the vice above. I can keep myself amused for an hour or so with nothing at my disposal. I can just sit and think. I also have something of an obsessive personality. So I’m capable of checking my email 20 times in 5 minutes (and thus I’m capable of wasting 5 minutes and of doing nothing). Oh, do I have mail? No? What about now? Now? Let me wait a moment. Now? NO? Still? Maybe it didn’t refresh?
My Pace (マイペース). I work at my own pace and do things when I feel like it. :P (Take note: this is somehow different from procrastination.)
Perfectionist. I’m a perfectionist. This is a vice because I often set high standards, and deal poorly with little failures. Like zomg? What do you mean I didn’t score in the 99.999th percentile? Everyone’s going to be disappointed in me. I can’t face anyone. *sob* T_T
Now, you know what a terrible person I am. :) So I shall tag five people: Chanel, Vera, Kaylee, Rilla, and you (if you’d like to be tagged). ♥
I have an astounding ability to do nothing as well! It’s maddening, though, because I get such a great boost out of accomplishment, and I could accomplish much more, if doing nothing didn’t captivate me so!
And museums ARE a vice. In addition to me wanting to somewhat desecrate them, they also have the power to distract me from purpose, work, and social events! Ha ha.
lol XD
I do the inbox refreshing every minute too!
I love checking emails too. :P But I’ve gotten away from clicking refresh every 5 minutes since I made all my mails go to Gmail. Now my Gmail Notifier extension would notify me if I get a new mail and I get all excited.
What’s wrong with library books?
*is guilty of checking email too often*
Oops, look, I just checked it now! Nothing new, in case you were wondering. I also argue about everything. I just like debating, mostly because I almost always win. And of course I’m addicted to the internet.
I guess I should do this meme sometime… *remembers for later*
Hehehe…I do the same with my email accounts. Incredible…
I’m guilty of nr 1, 2, 3 and 5 too.
I’m often guilty of arguing just to argue, mostly over complete sillyness. Hey, sometimes I just like hearing myself speak. XD
Wow, I’m guilty of all of those. :( “Perfectionism” and “the internet” are on my list of vices as well. I don’t really check my email, though — I guess this is a vice too because people are always telling me “Have you checked your email? I sent you something important!” and I still don’t check it. :P
I have a remedy for your book dilemma — sit at the bookstore for hours on end! That’s what I do because 1) I love the atmosphere there, and 2) I also hate library books because some of them are disgusting.
chantelle!!! happy birthday!!!! i miss your lj posts. & i totally forgot about your domain! how is everything with you??? i must make sure to read your blogs here from now on. :D
lol when i am bored or procrastinating i do the same thing with the internet & checking mail. i have a cycle of gmail-lj-facebook that i repeat constantly throughout the day. its sad. haha.
