Still not getting LJ-comments by mail. But it looks like it's a known problem and according to LJ it should be getting better... soon... >.>
Say... do you do dance the procrastination tango, too?
I sent off a mail to the person who handles my accounts at the bank, more or less asking for a favor. He wrote back. I can see the mail sitting in my inbox.
But I'm not touching it.
I keep dancing around it, reading the ones above and below that one. But I'm not opening that bank mail. Because I'm not sure what the response is.
On the one hand I *need* to know, of course. Because whatever his response is, it will have certain... ramifications.
On the other hand, I don't want to know... Because it just could be not what I want to hear... >.> <.<
Do you do that, too? Not open a letter or mail, because you're unsure of what you'll find inside?
I know it's terribly silly - I have to open it *sometime*! But... but...

My SOL's oldest daughter is going to get married in August. Guess who got invited?
Walter and Cilli.
Guess who not?
Me.
*ggg*
I get the role of the *evil-has-abandoned-her-poor-suffering-h
For their narrow xtian view there's only:
- married and together
- not married and evil
*shrugs*
Their problem, not mine.
Phone calls I have to make, now that's a different story. Usually it's because it involves telephone 'trees' and getting though a company's (or worse yet the government's phone system. I get so sick of those mechanical voices telling me information I don't want to finally be able to reach a person. Some places eliminate that option entirely now.
Plus, that one step is usually only a prelude to another phone call to someplace different, and then another, and another.
The plates look beautiful and the description says the tale is written in Russian on the back of each plate. Do they provide you with a translation?
I hate those phone options where I have to press five different buttons and end up where I started - just because I want a simple answer to a simple question. >.<
Um... that part with the plates goes to Kracken... ^___^
Yep, the worry ones get me every time.
Like me posting in the middle of the night... somehow things don't come out the way they should...
*sigh*
I could do with a lot less worry..
*wibbles*
And then sometimes my connection weirdly won't let me respond to certain emails, which is why I'm late responding to yours. I shall keep trying, but I think Sprint is trying to tear us apart. DAMN YOU SPRINT!
...
Oh good! :) And I thought I was the only one. I hate when I do it, but sometimes I just can't convince myself to be... adultlike and responsible. *sigh*
Hm... *sporks Sprint! Give me my daily dose of Amarissia!*
*ggg*
I'm working on your fic. As usual it's trying to turn itself into an epic... 1107 words and I've barely started... *another sigh*
Sprint finally gave in and let me respond. :)
FIC! YAYZ! Maybe you'll inspire me to write, I've been blocked for waaaay too long...
I was talking to my therapist yesterday, and he was smiling all the time because I was more or less bouncing in the seat, telling him all about the fact that I'm writing again, and that the muse is back, and that I'm going to be putting two of my old books online as eBooks and so on... Then he said, it's good to have the Child!Self so happy and active, but Adult!Self should also be involved, so as to get all those things *done*! >.>
Good, good! I'll check my mailbox now - just got back from my Friday post-office and shopping run. :)
Yupp... gonna get right back to that.
Hm... I was re-reading a chapter from my new writing 'bible' - The Art of War for Writers: Fiction Writing Strategies, Tactics, and Exercises
That works, you know... :)
What I also do when I'm *really* blocked is just start with a sentence. If nothing more comes, then ok. Maybe I'll have two the next day. And three the day after that.
But that little book there is really helpful - especially where problems like writer's block are concerned... :)
Oooh, I'll give that a try...and try doing at least a sentence even if nothing else. I always feel bad when I stop after only a paragraph, but it all adds up, right? :)
Yes, 100 sentences make a story. And sometimes, all it needs is one. And suddenly it just flows. :)
Still working on the smexing story... :)
Oh, I miss the flow, I want it back! This week, definitely, I'll give it a try...
SMEXING! :)
I do eventually read the mail - after I've worked up the proper nerve for it. :)
It did. He just hasn't implemented it yet... >.> Which is... not good.
Now-a-days, it's more emails from people asking how I'm doing... and no one takes "I'm doing fine." as an answer. I guess they expect me to be laid out in misery. Well, I guess I am in a way... bored half the day. ;)
The notices from my entry yesterday finally arrived in my in-box this morning.
Why should you be laid out in misery? So far everything is going well, isn't it? But boredom I can understand. What about getting all those things done that you've always relegated to the "one day..." shelf? :)
Now I'm getting them again, but first the old ones arrived all mixed up - new, old, answers before comments - really wierd...
They go something like:
1) Stare at bolded email subject line.
2) Pretend this other email looks more interesting.
3) Leave the room to get a snack or coffee.
4) Come back and glare at the computer screen.
5) Spontaneously decide I need to clean out my entire inbox of spam and random emails and organize all my folders.
6) Back to staring at the bolded print....
Possibly repeat this sequence a few times until I brace myself and open it.
I do end up opening it at some point in time, but I really have to get up my courage to do so...
:fail:
*sigh*
By the by, your anxious kitty looks about ready to esplode...
*gg*
It does, doesn't it?
I usually go and get a good cup of tea to fortify myself, then take the plunge.
And you know, it usually doesn't turn out as bad as I'd envisioned?
Very strange...
