14. Procrastination. If you had more time, you’d be able to put it off longer. What do you put off to the last moment? Why? Tell a story about how you just barely got something done in time – or didn’t.

I'm Back-

Ok, so I left for not more than two days, in an attempt to test my self control, self restraint, along with quitting caffine and trying to exercise more and sleep longer. And well I quit caffine for a week, cold turkey, but then I snapped and well eh... I am too ashamed but I drank quite a few coffees and teas, then while groveling in my self pitty realised this is not the way to go, I realised I am always going to drink lots of caffine, and I am always going to right meaningless poetry- it doesnt mean I have to drink so much I miss nights of sleep and write so much that no one bothers to read it, also that running at 4:00 in the morning truly is a mistake.
I have learned though that you can have slef discipline in some areas without totally shutting down your life, it's healthy in moderation..
which is why i am pathetically crawling back, sad that I dont have more self control.....so I am back.

Yes,
my mom thinks I need more self discipline....I tried
yes i'm glad this is a legal addiction
but I have self control in other areas(unless you're my mom, I dont have any) this one addiction need not be tamed =)

hehe lovey-- your title reads "I'm Back- I truly have so self discipline"
instead of "I'm Back- I truly have *no* self discipline"

yeah- if this was illegal everyone would be in jail- 'cept maybe Geist and I (and perhaps Zoom) we'd never get caught *winks* ;)
