just a moment, please. I'm not quite done yet

I'll be honest, I have trouble finishing things.
I wrote about four different versions of the blog we were supposed to write last week. None of them were to my liking so I never posted them, but I never got around to writing a new one either. Only half of my room is cleaned at a time because I get distracted in the middle of the job and end up doing things like driving to 7-11 or watching Star Trek TV marathons. Every time that I decide to begin my day's homework right after coming home from school, it is invariably left sitting on the kitchen table until dinnertime, where it gets thrown on my bed, until bedtime, when I move it to my desk and realize that I really should have started it when I got home from school. Three different knitting projects have been set aside because winter is gone, and there are currently no fewer than four novels sitting on the floor next to my bed because I have been unable to finish reading one before moving to the next.

Even before finishing this entry, I was distracted by an online game (Boomshine on addicting games, check it out!) and got halfway to beating it. During the middle of this game, I realized that I needed to brush my teeth and take my empty cup of juice to the kitchen. So I did that and left the game behind. While walking back from the kitchen, I caught sight of my hair dye through the bathroom door. I never finished cleaning up after retouching my pink streaks.

So here I sit, wondering if this is just a mild character flaw or some deep-rooted anxiety problem that I should be analyzing further. Though, I suppose it doesn't matter; I've finally finished this journal entry!

Now, back to Boomshine. Level 9 here I come!

Ah, Leah, so distractable!

I sense a conflict between ego and id.
