Oh, Procrastination, How I Love Thee...

If you happen to do any sort of non-paying activity (whether it's a hobby or, say, writing) then you know full well what Procrastination is (and yes, I capitalized it, because it's that big of a deal). It's like a relentless creature from the depths of Hell--we'll call him Mr. Imp--that will stop at nothing to get what it wants--which is for you to never finish said activity.

Mr. Imp lingers in the shadows, claws out, red eyes glowing, just waiting for you to slip up and turn on the TV or open...

Next Big Thing...I've been tagged!

Okay, so normally I don't do these types of posts (mainly because I never seem to have something to say, lol), but when my pal Stephanie Parent tagged me, I knew I had to give in and hop on. And I must admit, it's kinda fun once it's done! lol

So, it's really simple: I answer a few questions, then pass the bullet torch on to a few other friends who might wanna play along. Easy, right?
