Trying to do things that are productive...

I've been trying to do productive things for the past week. The problem is that the productive things I've been doing have not been very...important? For instance, today I:

1. Woke up on my floor, surrounded by sharpies, clean clothes from my trip that are still lying around, my guitar case, three pillows, two blankets and several pairs of shoes.
2. Cursed the fact that I had cleverly decided to leave any and all timekeeping devices out of my room, therefore barring myself from sleeping later than I need to.
3. Checked my phone and spent the next hour texting with J2M2 buddies. It made my fingers hurt. A more text friendly phone would probably be an intelligent purchase. Bright side: I may have helped one of the girls I was texting figure out a way to communicate with her mum better. *Fingers crossed.*
4. Checked my email, deleted everything useless (which was most of it), and read the email from Jessica, wherein I found a possible hostel to employ me.
5. Realized I had missed office hours and would have to wait until 6:30pm to call. Hostels have funny office hours.
6. Stared at the giant (and growing) hole in the back of my sleeping dress that I still have not taken the time to fix and decided to take a shower.
7. Stood in the shower thinking about things that made me feel intelligent before realizing that I was wasting water and hurriedly finishing the actual washing of self process.
8. Left bathroom to look for dress to wear today.
9. Heard phone ringing.
10. Answered it. It was Anthony. Lost connection after hellos. Figured that if he wanted to talk he would call back.
11. Got dressed. Wore a shirt as a dress and spandex shorts. SKANKY. But not because I was spending the whole day at home.
12. Talked to Anthony for almost an hour while playing games on the interweb. Planned the illegal selling of his mummified remains to a museum after his death, induced by sleeping in the trunk of my car. Funny.
13. Organized email addresses into groups and deleted everyone whose email I did not recognize. I have a lot less email addresses now. Hopefully none of those people were important.
14. Returned to reading God: A Biography (Jack Miles). Stellar book.
15. Went on a bike ride. Got exhausted. Too humid for physical activity.
16. Laid on couch, feeling tired.
17. Ate dinner.
18. Played those geography games on the internet. I now know all of Canada and most of South America. The US is hard.
19. Making this list.
20. Will watch Monk, Psych and make that phone call.

...And that actually makes it sound like I did more than I really did today.

Also that is not at all what I intended this blog entry to be. I was going to talk about some of my travels. Bahahaha.

Edit:
That's an ixnay on the ostelinghay objay my riendsfay. Turns out the last option I had stopped hiring two months ago. LAME. Anyone want to harbor a Holly in their home until December? Qualification: you must live in California...preferably in an area where a Holly could get a job.

  1. i seem to feel this way all the time. i have a long list of things to do and end up getting sidetracked over and over again, so my initial intention gets lost. eventually i may finish off one or two of the items... but getting to that point is often quite a struggle.

    the worst part is that i keep adding to that list of things to do. ugh.
