The holdup

I have a problem with procrastinating.

(It took me awhile to say that.)

Today I got a notice in the mail that I could pay a traffic ticket (I got in October) online.  I knew that, but at this point, I don’t even know how much the ticket is going to cost me.  I haven’t even bothered to phone it in.  Now, my procrastination has some give and take – I mean, I didn’t hesitate to ask some friends to make a call for me when I got stopped, but when it couldn’t get fixed… I have had nothing but intentions to get it resolved in another way.  The best intentions – but it just hasn’t happened yet.

Today I sat around.  It was the first good sit-around-day I can remember having in a long while.  It hasn’t been a total loss, I made plenty of lists that I’m sure I will never get around to tackling, took note of things I should have already done at home (but haven’t), and watched a season of How I Met Your Mother.  Yes, an entire season.

I didn’t put my Christmas tree up until last week.  Now I don’t want to take it down in a “timely manner.”

I just watched a ton of short films by a guy I don’t even know.

There’s a dinner party going on downstairs and I do not want to even say hello, let alone, eat dinner with everyone.  That’s on the bottom of my list right now.

My camera is making a series of odd noises – ones that don’t seem to have a pattern to them that I can decipher.

I have a lot of art sitting on the floor that needs a proper home.

I think I have decided to put off moving until next year.  2010?  I think I am going to go “on tour” with my friends instead of moving.

Do you ever think that your priorities are screwed up?

Does it make you weird if you don’t?

Just wondering.
