paaaaa-thetic

perhaps you have noticed that i like to share with you how pathetic i am. i like to show you, my readers, that you could be far worse off. so here is what i am doing right now. i have to pack everything i need for the summer and clean an apartment that has not been cleaned in months, all in the next 4 hours. i was doing very well at this for about 8 minutes (during which time i started to wonder how thick a layer of dust on a pair of shoes means you’re never going to wear them again). then i sat down to check email. well, that was over an hour ago. so now, here i am on my couch. i am very hungry. but i won’t move to get food. i figure that at some point i will just quit being hungry. or my battery will run out at some point. that’s really what i’m relying on. and my feet are freezing. but getting socks to warm them would involve moving. we’re not doing that, don’t be silly. instead, i am sitting here and the only productive thing i could say i am doing is that i am performing further case work on my analysis as to whether chuzzle is a game of skill or not. (the theory that chuzzle is not a game of skill continues to hold up under rigorous study.) and i’m just waiting for my computer battery to die. but i’m starting to think that maybe i won’t move when that happens. actually, i could probably just take a nap or watch tv or any number of other things. oh no. it’s just gotten worse. my purse is right next to me on the couch. it has food and socks in it. i may never leave. if i don’t show up to the party tonight, send someone to look for me on my couch, subsisting off of a year old granola bar, a set of poptarts, and half a bag of chocolate eggs. no doubt that’s where i’ll be.
