Procrastination.

Do you remember 'The Amanda Show' when we were kids? If you were born in '92 or later, you should. It was horribly lame and awfully cringe-worthy. Yet I loved every second of it. Amanda Bynes starred on the Nickelodeon show when she was about 12 years old. The show consisted of skits- stupid skits with  no deeper meaning than basic slapstick comedy. They made me laugh. I quoted them to (or should I say AT) friends. Most of them, I couldn't remember for the life of me. But one in particular has stayed in my memory my whole life: The Procrastinator.

The Procrastinator wore a red, shiny suit, I believe, and when called upon had the catchphrase:
"I'll do it... eventually!"
I can't completely blame this television show for my extreme procrastination in pretty much all areas of my life. However, that catchphrase does pop into my head on a near-daily basis.

I'll be sitting on my bed with a pile of crumpling clean washing beside me. I'm watching youtube (teenmommy 2010 as of late) and I glance to the side in between videos. I see the clean washing, I see the t-shirt on the top of the pile whose creases are deepening by the second. "I'll do it... eventually!" Back to youtube watching.

I'll be parking my car after hanging with a friend or going to the mall to buy another pair of heels, surrounded by used scratchies and empty Maccas paper bags and coke zero bottles. I need to clean it up. All it takes is going inside and grabbing a plastic bag to put all my rubbish in. And yet: "I'll do it... eventually!" Inside to watch The Office it is.

Ahh, homework assignments. Every uni and high school student's best friend. LOL JK. None of us can stand having to finish something by a specified date, and with such precision as to recieve a decent mark and good feedback. It's stressful as. I'll be chillin' in my room, listening to music or cruising through Facebook, when something will trigger my memory and I'll recall having been given an assignment to do. I lazily flick through my Collin's organiser and realise that, yes, I have to hand in my work by the end of that week. I could do it now, I have nothing else productive to do. But. "I'll do it... eventually!"

I have a worrying feeling that I may well be The Procastinator and just not know it. Like how I sometimes think I might be the star of some reality TV show and have been left unaware to maintain allignment and authenticity. Yeah. I'll figure that out eventually.
