I always have a lot of ideas April 28th
However, I don’t always act on them, and they don’t always come to fruition how I planned. I have thoughts and plans but sometimes I can’t get them out of my head and into real life. Do you ever feel that way? I feel like I have all of these good things to offer and smart plans that I never act on. I don’t know what’s holding me back. Maybe it’s a lack of motivation? Or is the distraction of Facebook and F My Life just an easier way to pass the time?
Now that the semester is winding down, I will have a lot of free time on my hands. I want to do all of the things I say I will. I don’t plan on working this summer (not because I’m a bum… or maybe I am), so I definitely want to be productive in other ways. Aside from my decorating projects for next year’s living situation, there are so many other things I could do with my time. For one thing, this place definitely needs a new theme. How long have these clouds been up? It’s not even really… me, in terms of color, that is. The cloud idea is nice and dreamy, I suppose, but blue and white is getting old and boring.
What else can I do? Well, there are a ton of books I’ve been meaning to read, and I really want to get back on the writing end of things. I remember when I used to write poetry constantly. Not only did I have something to produce and share, but I was more productive overall. I did a lot of work and I performed really well at everything I needed to do. I think it was a way to release in a positive way, as opposed to the things I do now that just make me lazier: Facebook Facebook Facebook. It’s strangely addicting, even if I still hate the new layout.
What are your plans to do this summer… whenever it gets here for you?

Facebook is getting to me too! and Twitter and FMyLife?!
I don’t know what makes Facebook addicting…maybe because all my friends are on it?
I’m glad school winding’s down for you!
Finals are coming up for me!
As for the summer, I’m probably going out of town and doing some acting and writing camps? I might get a job, I’m not sure?

Whoot, Facebook and FMyLife are awesome!
This summer… possibly working… IDK how transportation is going to work out, but I’ve been applying to a few jobs.
Hopefully going to FL to see my friends. I’ve been acting like it’s going to happen, but I feel like it won’t because I know my parents don’t want to go and they won’t let me go alone.
I’ll probably go to Minnesota to see family, depends on if I am working. I doubt I can get 2 vacations when I’m only going to be working for 2 months. I pick FL over MN.
I’ll also be reading!!!!!! I miss that so. much. ♥ And I get ALL break to do it because there’s no summer homework!!

I’ve not given into the Facebook craze. I’m not sure I want that many people from my past being able to locate and communicate with me. They are gone for a reason.
I suggest doing nothing all summer long. Soon enough you’ll have to be at a life-sucking job that slowly kills you one day at a time. The best advice I can you you young whipper-snappers…. Stay in school as long as possible, get drunk and high ALL the time, have goobs and goobs of (protected) sex, sleep in late, stay out all night…. did I mention the sex and getting high?
I wish I was kidding……

Hey Erin! Now that the craze season at my school has wound down,
I’m going to be more active in my website. I’ll mostly be posted blogs, not sure if I have the time to get back in graphic design. But I’ll be keeping in touch and looking for affiliates.
Lots of traveling planned for over the summer, I’ll be blogging about it along the way.

Love fmylife.
Good time waster, but I can understand what you mean. I always make big goals for the summer but never do any of them. So is the life of a procrastinator…

I’ve been thinking about the same thing: all the ideas I hope to follow through with once I have free time! I’ll have free time after this week (the final AP testing week), and I’ve been planning to read more books (a friend and I have planned to read the Brothers Karamazov together!), write more poetry, and do more art! However, Facebook and other such things present a huge obstacle.. rendering it easy to not follow through with our ambitions.
Best of luck with your hopes of productivity! I hope to see new poetry coming from you, ’cause your poetry is lovely.
