Haha, unfortunately, my creative writing teacher does not share your outlook on terms such as 'creme de la fail', and would probably dock points for not making any sense. But steal as you please!

Why is it that every time you try to talk Freud, you get distracted and end up on the Jim/Pam website?

I know EXACTLY what you mean. See, unless I have research to do, I disconnect the Internet while I'm working for just that reason - if I don't, I end up searching for my topic on Wikipedia and then following links for hours until I reach some completely improbable topic that has nothing whatsoever to do with what I'm supposed to be working on. Or I'll just watch online videos. A lot.

Thank you for the good wishes! The story turned out okay - I'd hardly say great, but at this point I really don't care - and while I am probably too late to wish you luck on your current scholastic endeavors, I wish you advance luck on whatever thorny assignment may raise its head in the future.

Well, see, they're *secret* titles, meaning the name under which I save the computer file. So far I have Marx Paper of Crap, Freud Paper of Crap, Godawful Paper from the Depths of Suckville, Hellishly Hard Paper, and Sonofabitchulism Etc. (that last one was my preferred spelling of one of the topics, "Somnambulism")

It...never occurred to me to disconnect my own internet. That sounds incredibly sad, but I've really never tried it. I will test that theory out tonight. And I'm glad you finally got your story done...the one good thing about half-killing yourself to finish something is the satisfaction that comes after you turn it in. (however short-lived that may be)

XD Oh, man, now I got my water right up my nose from "Sonofabitchulism", which is a lovely substitute for the actual word. Secret descriptive titles for the win!

Don't worry - it didn't occur to me to disconnect my own internet until earler this semester, and even that was only because I wanted to move my laptop closer to the TV so I could procrastinate even more. (My dorms use an ethernet cable, not wireless, so moving the laptop meant disconnecting the internet.) It does cut the procrastination time in half, but I've found that without the shininess of the internet I just inevitably find other ways of distracting myself (i.e. endless games of Solitaire).
