Subject: I've just realized something funny

For the past week or so, I've been in my school's media center trying to finish a paper. But I've been taking breaks to post here a lot too. If you look at my post history over the past couple days, you'll notice that I've been posting a lot more that I usually do.

But during all this procrastinating, I've probably written enough to more than finish my paper. I've probably used all the critical thinking and analysis skills I have to make my posts here. If I had used them on this paper, I would have been done a while ago.

So my question is: How many other people here have caught themselves using more effort procrastinating here than you would have doing whatever you're supposed to be doing?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Einstien

I'm feeling your pain right now... *opens word doc*

I have to say, in high school, I was definitely a victim of this very thing.

I can pass out bans by request. When is your paper due, Mike? Do your homework, people. Get good grades. I want this community to be a cadre of scholars when I am done with you.

That's not a concern, if everyone on Bnet is a scholar, then hypothetically DeeJ will be able to have uncontested claim to his "Village Idiot" position.

Me being homeschooled you would think I would have trouble with doing school and posting on here, But I just wait until breaks or lunch to post Like I am doing right now.

I used post an exorbitant amount of information pertaining to Halo activities. I used to post all day while sitting at work. I've since changed career paths, and no longer have the luxury (and it is a luxury) to post as much as I'd like. I look back sometimes and the overwhelming feeling I get is one of deep satisfaction. I've never seen this community as a negative - unless, of course, we're talking about Foman.

Often, I find myself logging in and scanning the threads in this forum or that - never really posting, just observing. I guess I find myself missing those days in the sense that the drama always kept me entertained...but that drama which I found so addictive has died down.

I will gladly second DeeJ in this instance - school is very important. The job market is brutal, and a solid education with real drive is the only option when it comes to making a life for yourself after your youth.

Upgrade your grey matter, because one day it may matter.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

I've spent long periods reading academic papers and writing essays off the basis of the information in those journals, only to long on here in the evening and rewrite significant portions of those essays for the benefit of you folks. Especially Primum. (And writing for him is harder because the people who mark my essays don't spend their spare time getting brainwashed by people like Krugman. <3)

Sometimes I feel like Bungie.net is the only thing that keeps me sane during those times. I don't go post crazy, but I sure do lurk a lot more than I should. Just knowing that it's there to entertain and provide an escape with its hilarity is comforting enough.

I wish I had been.

If I could just redo High School, and save my money thereafter I'd be a much happier person now.

Maybe my member title should be Master Procrastinator.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Now that I've got the paper printed and proofread, you're right.

If you seriously want to be banned, they will ban you to help you out.

I requested to be banned by Duardo back in '09 his response:

Posted by: Duardo
...a.re......are you serious....?

And I'm being serious about you being serious.

Then, after I confirmed
oh....ok...........well, see ya in 3 days then

<3


And then I was banned as requested for 3 days
