when i panic…

26Aug08

…i blog.

it’s an old habit (so it dies not). procrastination back-fired on me this time, and i have too much work due yesterday. and since i cannot decide which to do first (either way, i see an early demise) i decided to blog. rant. vent. and hopefully, find the motivation to overcome the panic, and calmly but quickly finish up the work.

i am really coming to terms with the fact that i am just not meant to work.

i wasn’t supposed to whine like this on this blog. i’m supposed to be a serious, hoity-toity snob here, and leave my whining to the other space i have been whining (anonymously) at for years now. but i like the wordpress interface, and it really is too tiring trying to decide whether an entry is a whine or not. i guess i will move all my previous whines here some day, because i do have some sentimentality for all those entries that have seen me through years of pms and heartbreaks.

isn’t it funny how a word starts to look wrong after you have written (typed) it too many times? as a kid, i used to hate those exercises where you had to keep writing the same word over and over again. i remember  this particular one where we had to fill in the blanks with “must” or “must not”. it was most disturbing. by the fifth one or so, “must” looked like a spelling mistake and i couldn’t feel the word anymore.

i say that because i just typed “whine” one more time, and it really started looking wrong. even all the variations look wrong – “whining,” “whines,” “whined”… they look like “wine” gone wrong. is it just me?
