Howdy all :)
it's been a month (almost... ok, so 3 weeks, but still) and i have yet to write something interesting here. I'm becoming a Bad Blogger. Now this probably has more to do with my stupid assignments then anything else (5 left and counting), and the exams i also have to endure (only 5 left, again) and the whole "I'm a senior i have no life" epidemic spreading through my grade, but still. I miss you guys.
And sadly i have no time to write anything truly interesting or exciting, that has absolutely nothing to do with school...
... but i can write something slightly interesting on a school related topic!
We're studying Pride and Prejudice at the moment (one of my all-time favourite novels/movies/mini-series... yes, i like the keira knightly *sorry about the spelling* movie AS WELL AS the book and mini-series. I see it as a stand alone version of the story... interesting, if not totally true to life) and the assignment is to write an article of a subject of the book. I'm doing the perfect man (aka mr Darcey) and what's more, school has APPROVED THIS! so i have 1000 words with which to gush about mr Darcey, complain about mr Wickham (and the waste of his attractiveness) and compare the two with Benjamin Barry (from How to lose a guy in 10 days). Suffice to say i think it will be the most enjoyable english assignment of my senior year.
And hence, i give you my list of perfect men (and some justifications):
The Doctor (most incarnations... except 7 and 8. They were just weird)
David Tennant (he's SCOTTISH!)
Hugh Jackman (hot)
Wolvereine (hot)
Mr Darcey (hello??? ALL PERFECT MEN ARE BASED ON HIM! and he's hot)
Colonel Fitzwilliam (darcy, but without the pride... and sadly the money)
Ryan Palmer (he's from the coffee series... well, ok the Lauren Holbrook series, but i renamed them. and he is THE PERFECT MAN! if i had to name just one, it would be him)
Booth (hot. and a nice guy. and funny. and awesome. and yeah, i'm waiting for the season finale to come out... thought it came out yesterday my time (but was wrong) and normally it comes out wednesdays in canada (and hence thursdays in aus) but cus it's the finale, it's coming out the same time in canada as in america... so friday night in aus :( poor little me...)
Patrick Dempsey (i admit, i'm superficial)
The guy from The Terminal (can't remember his name. the main character. Cus he's just so nice!)
Who've I missed off this list?? Add your faves in the comments

Procrastination
Because doing something when you first have the chance is over-rated ;)
Seriously though, I have a major physics assignment due tomorrow morning and what do I find myself doing? Writing a blog, of course, because that's definitely going to help me...
In any case, due to lack of ideas on what to blog about (i'm seriously just writing this to put of rectifier circuits for another 10 minutes) I thought i'd share with you all my personal favourite ways to procrastinate! Not that I condone it or anything...
1) SparkNotes - well, most of you know all about SparkNotes, but i thought I'd mention it anyway... what I mean is not the SparkLife section that entraps so many, but the actual educational part. For example, for the last 15 minutes I have been reading the SparkNotes for Pride and Prejudice, not because we're studying it (well, not for another month anyway) but because I wanted to find out what the Sparkitors thought about Darcy.
2) Playlists on YouTube - invariably with each study period i will create a new playlist on youtube or itunes, filled with songs that inspire me to learn... or at the very list, songs that are catchy and always cheer people up. But getting the perfect blend of dance, bubblegum pop and classic disney is a time consuming process, and can lead to days of procrastination.
3) Organise your desk/diary/computer folders - this way you feel you have achieved something while you've been avoiding work, if only confusion over where your favourite pen now is.
4) Write a Blog - even if it's just rambling on, it still makes you feel like you've written something ;)
Anyways, hope you guys have a more productive time then i'm having...
