...but I finally developed some of the photos from my trip to Europe. Of course I've never developed any of the photos from when I lived in London but that's beside the point. The point is that I think I may be the queen of procrastination. I can't seem to get anything done unless it's the absolute last minute. For example, I desperately need to clean my apartment but it's going to take knowing that someone is coming over within an hour to motivate me to do so.
I can't seem to get myself to do anything unless it's the last minute...on the other hand I also do my best work at the last minute so maybe it all works out for the best...I don't know...it's late and I'm rambling. I just wish I knew the secret of those people who are organized, who keep clean homes and who (at least seem to) have order in their lives. Me? I live in what I like to call organized chaos (most people just call it chaos). I can find things (usually) but if anyone else had to try and locate something they would be out of luck. I always say I'm going to get organized but I always get about halfway done and then I get distracted by something more interesting (usually the computer) and that's the end of it. On the other hand, I know that if I could get everything 100% clean and organized I could keep it that way...but it has to be 100% nothing less. I know that if I can do that my OCD will kick in...of course that brings a different set of issues...like the inability to leave the house if the bed is unmade... I know this because I've done it before...I've actually had to go back and make my bed so I can leave in the morning...don't ask...
Okay, I really don't know why I've been rambling about this but I think it may be time to call it a night...I'll post something more interesting next time.

So apparently I suck at keeping this thing up to date...I knew that was going to happen. But I will keep making the same vow, I'm going to try and keep this up to date...I'm going to make an effort at the very least...
So I've joined a writing group in the hopes of motivating myself to write more. I mean, I love writing but apparently if I have no accountability to anyone I never actually write anything. I have hundreds of stories in my head but I can't seem to get them from my imagination onto a piece of paper. So right now I'm going to use this blog as a journaling tool and see if it helps to motivate me to work on my creative writing a little more. We'll see how well this works.
What I would like to do is post something everyday. Whether it's a sentence or a paragraph or a short story, my goal is going to be some sort of post every day. The post may not make any sense or it just may be as simple as I have nothing to write today but hopefully by doing this I'll be able to get my creative juices going again.
I don't know if anyone will actually read this beyond myself but who knows :).
Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I am terrible about keeping these things up to date but I swear that I'm going to try this time. I don't know what (if any) the theme of this blog will end up being but I'm going to try and post on a regular basis and just see where it leads me.
I actually enjoy writing, I just have a hard time keeping journals and such...I prefer creative writing so this may become more of a place for short stories and ramblings instead of a post about what I'm up to in life (It will most likely be waaay more interesting that way anyways)...
