  • get sucked into the Internet cycle: Gmail, Facebook, LiveJournal, Tumblr, online comics, "oh maybe I got an e-mail while I was catching up on xkcd?"
  • watch TV shows I don't care about/actively hate.
  • rant to my roommates (or whoever will listen) about how screwed up Quebec education is.
  • download or unzip CDs.
  • pop open iTunes, ostensibly as background music...but instead wind up listening to songs I love and have to focus on.

  • read books that have nothing to do with what I'm working on.
  • stare at the page without actually writing on it.
  • clean small, non-committal spaces (i.e. my desk, my pants drawer, the bathroom sink).

  • @ 18 -- a David Bowie (Aladdin Sane era) doll from Claire. She used a male Bratz doll as the base and went to town with nail polish and sparkly fabric.
  • @ 22 -- a remote-controlled tarantula from my mom. Mostly memorable for the fact that I was 22 (and totally loved it).
  • @ 16 -- a dollar store Barbie & a Swiss Army Knife from Amber with a note: "Enjoy!" -- I did.
  • @ 24 -- a Starbucks gift card from Dylan, right before I started subbing at Royal Vale (this is especially important because: my life essentially depended on both her and my daily tall-nonfat-triple-caramel-macchiato for the entire student teaching stint).
  • @ 23 -- an illustrated steampunk fairy tale, channeling a cyber-Alice in Wonderland, from Julie.
  • @ 19 -- handsewn creepy-as-fuck Alice in ...
