Encouraging Procrastination

Don't you love it when you have two big papers due the next day, and you put off doing them for like a week, and you even put off starting them until like 3:00 because you're too busy watching Garden State, and then you spend like 2 hours whittling your overflowing feedreader down to managable proportions, and then you finally write the first paper in record time because you don't have time to waste (plus it's on a fairly easy topic like the mistreatment of Jews in non-Spanish medieval Europe), and then you pull out the description for the second paper, and you notice it says it's not due until Wednesday? Of course you do. And then you call up your boytoy to come over and watch Dodgeball or something. And then you blog about it while waiting for him.

Speaking of The Boy, per request, a brief description: dental student, practicing Jew, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, has already bought me flowers, drives a Chevy (approved by GM dads the world over, like, say, mine), knows who Dale Earnhardt was, Yankees fan (everyone has their flaws), taller than me, muscular build, no kids, no ex-wives, no current wives, no psychotic ex-girlfriends leaving nasty messages on my voicemail (yes, I've had that before--more than once), doesn't mind slightly psychotic current girlfriends, and he likes (or tolerates) going to museums.

You'll have to let me know if you approve.

To paraphrase Sheryl Crow, if he makes you happy, he can't be that bad. Sounds like a great guy!

One question...Is he a long hair?

I dissaprove across the board. I move for a filibuster.

i can't believe you're not really retarded!! are you sure you're not really retarded?? (Frank and i quote that and giggle all the time. we might buy the DVD just for that scene, because other than that it's kinda slow.)

about the Boytoy. sounds great. (except i saw the word liberal in there somewhere.) ;-D

anyway, are you Jewish? just wondering, because i didn't think you were.

Really going to live up to the old Shiksa thing huh? Just as an FYI the religion can be a BIG thing to overcome with some families.

Pete--thanks for that groundbreaking commentary. I believe we already discussed my thoughts on that about 2 years ago.

SarahK--Not Jewish. And *I'm* a liberal.

Shank--unless you're making a better offer, shut it.

Sgt--definitely not a longhair.

Rev--thanks!

He sounds acceptable. Did you check his references?

What sort of museums?

Does he put out?

practicing Jew

Practicing? Just how old is this guy? I'd think he'd have gotten the hang of it by the time he got to college.

How's his finacial situation? Does he have debt other than school loans? Does he habitually spend more than he earns, or vice versa?

Fiscal responsibility is a long-term issue, but it's something to think about.
