My nerdiness knows no bounds!!

posted in Uncategorized |

I am a Superhero at procrastination. I should make myself a big cape and sew a P on my chest. But I’ll probably find other things to occupy my time.

Consider how I spent my day.

I woke up early to take my friend to the airport (she’s flying down to Uruguay to beg the government to let her fiance get a Visa, so they can be married). Looks like a productive start to the day…

And I continue to be super productive by following it up with a 35 minute workout at the gym–something I haven’t done in months (as the flab on my belly is so eloquently reminding me)! Go Me!

I have a list of errands to do. Finish Visa Applications. Work on paper that resident has been bugging me about since July. Study for big freaking boards that I take on the 20th (of December).

However, after I finish my shower, I decide that since I went to bed earlish last night, I’d check my email and LJ. Read eponine119‘s fantastic short stories and clicked on the link to the inspiration/challenges. There, I read a comment about how she wished that she knew a script to randomly generate names… Hey! I could do that! I used to know HTML and javascript, and since I’m really, really, really wanting to finish my webpage by some point, it would be fun to figure out how to do it. It’d only take an hour or so… I tried javascript–didn’t work, too many variables. So what did I decide do? Wipe my hands of the project and say, “well, guess that’s it” and move on? Oh no. I decided that since all of the help that I could find recommended using PHP, that that’s what I would do.

So, it’s now about 12 hours later. Granted, I haven’t spent the ENTIRE time trying to figure it out (I did cook dinner. And watched Lost. And an episode of Firefly.). And it still doesn’t work. There’s something wrong with the code that I can’t figure out and blah.

Now I have everything that I didn’t do today to look forward to tomorrow! Yay!

  • I just saw over on ‘s journal that you got the script working! It’s awesome! Inspired, good job. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Thanks! It was fun, figuring it out, especially once the problem got fixed.

      I saw that you picked Charlie/Aaron/Teddy Bear… And I had this freaky idea of Charlie stumbling upon the teddy bear of the Others and bringing it to Aaron, and thought even the mundane have possibilities. I’d write it, but I’ve got one with Danielle and Aaron (with Australia… I’m not sure how to work that in!) that’s calling my name. And a Rose and Shannon with Vincent…

      This could be dangerous. ๐Ÿ™‚

      • The generator is totally addictive! I feel guilty, though, because I know I don’t have time to write all these fics, but I just keep looking to see what comes up.

        Although oddly Sawyer never seems to make an appearance. I love that Ethan and Cindy and the Others are in there, though! ๐Ÿ™‚

          I’m really glad it’s giving you ideas. I hope it’s not taking you too far away from NaNo writing though!

          And um, Sawyer never showed up because, um, Sawyer was accidently left off. At one time he was there in triplicate, but when I brought everybody back together, he got deleted too many times. But he’s back now. And feeling neglected. *pats poor Sawyer*

      Me, pouring over weather forecasts and maps for months: โ€œWell, as much as I really donโ€™t want to do Texas, they really are going to have the highest likelihood of clear skies to see the solar eclipse. So I guess Iโ€™ll go to Dallas, instead of up north where I could visit friends. *grumbles and […]
