I could imaging other people have experienced this feeling.

Today, I was assigned the task of carrying a bed frame from my attic to my front yard. It will take 5 minutes, said my parents. However, when I saw it would take separate trips, I gained an oppressive weight on my consciousness that kept me from doing the task. It's a sort of supreme lethargic feeling. It feels awful that you have to do a task, but at the same time it feels amazing to not do it.

I swear, this procrastination is so effective, I felt metaphysical effects on my mind. After taking out the first piece of the bed frame, I laid down for 1/2 hour (rough estimate judging from clock glances) and after laying down, my head felt a swelling sensation from the combination of anxiety about having to do the task, combined with not doing it.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I should be breathing right now, but I'll get to it eventually.

Doing something when you have nothing to do feels much better.
Procrastination doesn't deserve any of my time.

Good for you, keep thinking that way.

I can definitely agree with this.

OP: Procrastination is a parasite that I simply cannot best.

Deserve =/= receive.
I still manage to procrastinate, we need leisure.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Just try and get it over with quickly, so you can have as much free time as possible afterwards.
Use that idea and see how far you can get with it.

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

But it's my Birthday!

I'm allowed to do nothing today!
