I'm guessing that when you say - like I just did to Tasha - "Oh, I'm hungry! That means I can put off working on my paper more." one is seriously far down on the list of excuses for procrastinating.

But then in my grand tradition of ethics papers, I've summed up a five page paper into two paragraphs and can't really see where the hell I'm going to attempt to pad it out and still keep it on topic, as I do have longer bits written, but as one's on while humans have the inailenble right of self-determinism, it doesn't always work out well, and the varying definitions of suicide, and whether accidentally killing yourself is still suicide. I'm explaining everything that matters in the debate is the intent of the person who would die, so this might work.

But I'm still getting lunch/dinner first.

And I still have to go Christmas shopping and study. Ick.

I don't even bother with excuses. If I'd rather be playing video games, I just think, "It won't take long, I'll just do it later/tomorrow/before class." It doesn't always end well, but I've been doing it for years, so I can usually manage to avoid horrible, painful failure XD

Yeah, I know I still have time, but I had a longer time for a paper in a similar vein and it still didn't get very far at all.

That, and I've been terrible at actualy doing things lately, so the paper is more of the final straw than anything else.
