Desk Time

      So I'm sitting here at work on the first desk shift of the library and thinking "What can I do with the two, maybe more, hours I have with free reign of the internet (of course aside from helping people that come up to me)?" The the thought came to me! "I should write something in my blog!" And here I am doing just that. While I can't say that I have any one specific thing to write about at the exact moment in time, it's still something and a step towards me keeping to my goal of writing more often.
      I happen to be the best procrastinator you will probably ever meet. I say this jokingly, yet also quite seriously. I don't have ADD or ADHD, but if something comes along that seems a lot better than something else that feels like a chore at any point, or that I just plain don't have the motivation to do, I will find any means possible of distracting myself and putting off what I'm supposed to be doing. More often than not, this comes in the form of my video game playing. Don't get me wrong, I love my games with a passion and geek out over new ones coming out soon, or just my favorites in general, but they can be a big distraction. Not just a distraction perhaps, but my escape. Books and video games manage that one. I may not want to dwell on certain situations, or just forget about the present in general and they are my absolute go to for it. Just something about picking up the persona of someone completely different and seeing an entirely different place, doing different things, that enrapts one completely into just forgetting the time and things around them, if only even for a little bit. Sometimes that break is a more than needed thing and when you finally get it, it's like you can breathe again like a normal person.

      So I can't say that I have any real idea where I was going with that, aside from rambling on in circles, but I guess it happens sometimes. Time to go troll around the internet for a bit I suppose.
