Half Term: Day 7 - Should I procrastinate now or later?

Hello whoever might be out there,

My day has been filled with nothing but procrastinated task after procrastinated task. You will never guess where I got the idea for today's blog from? (Answer: I was procrastinating writing it, there are plenty of other, better, times in the day to write a blog other than 11pm.)

Everyone procrastinates. There are things in life we just do not want to do, therefore we put them off as long as possible. Like today, I procrastinated doing my maths homework. Why? Who knows, I literally google all of the answers anyway so it isn't like it is hard. I also procrastinated writing up my notes for my Drama coursework exam. And I still haven't finished it. I know it is important, so why on Earth am I trying to delay it for so long? I suppose there is only me to blame if I turn up on Tuesday with nothing to write about.

But my procrastination has gotten so bad that I have started procrastinating things I love doing, such as writing this blog. I also procrastinated playing Pokémon Unite, my latest game interest. I am still procrastinating writing this blog now, getting distracted by Pokémon TCGP!

My least favourite thing to procrastinate is film and TV shows. It takes an awful lot for me to actually get into the mood to sit down and watch something. I have been wanting to watch My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away for absolutely ages now, and yet I have had this whole week off and didn't do it. I know I will love those films when I watch them, and obsess over them like crazy, but I can't bring myself to actually watch them, constantly making excuses for myself. "It's too late at night now." "I don't have enough time." "I have homework to do." 

I am slowly working my way through Bob's Burgers as twenty minute adult animations seems to be the only form of TV I can digest without being literally forced. I was forced to watch the 2014 Annie and I absolutely loved it! But even with a show I am loving so much, I still procrastinate it. I even procrastinate watching The Simpsons, and that has been my comfort show since I can literally remember!

The only way I can actually get things done anymore is by being forced or if I act on impulse, otherwise it is simply an endless chain of excuses and procrastination.

Yours faithfully,

MD

Lego Friends: Girlz 4 Life

Hello whoever might be out there, I love charity shops, because you can find some absolute gold in there; such as today where I found a Lego Friends DVD that I had honestly forgotten about when writing my previous posts regarding the franchise. That is the Girlz 4 Life movie. This film was released in 2016 and captures everything that I believe to be wrong with the 2012 version of Lego Friends. Don't get me wrong, it was a good film and is the standard for what every film for a younger audience should be; short, entertaining, and annoyingly unrealistic. I mean, how do you just conveniently manage to get into a press conference for supposedly the biggest in universe celebrity? I made a few notes while watching. Nerdy? Yes. But I knew I would want to talk about this on here so I kept receipts, and I am so glad I did. And in case you haven't already caught on, there will be spoilers. There was one specific moment that made me literally pause the film to pull out my phone. There is...

Welcome

Hello whoever might be out there, I have always had such a strong passion for writing and rambling, so where better to do that than a blog? I have opinions on a lot of things, and sometimes yelling them out into the void of the internet will do me some good. Letting my words linger for eternity has a slight scariness to it though, the fact something so innocent and irrelevant as a mere blog post can linger for all of eternity. But I am making the conscious decision to take comfort in that fact. To know that even if I am no longer here, my words will be. Forever immortalised as an anonymous blog poster.  I want to be as anonymous as possible, if that even is possible? I am not going to do one of those fun facts about myself lists, that sort of information will just be fed in drips and drabs over time. The only information I feel is actually relevant is that I am a teenager from England. I want to give people something to think about. Something to mellow over in their spare time. I a...

Lego Friends thoughts

Hello whoever might be out there, I love Lego Friends. It is a interest that has stuck with me ever since I was six years old, so much so that it influenced my choice in name change (no, Mae is not my real name). I was there for the OG five with their OG designs. Mia, Emma, Olivia, Stephanie, and Andrea. I have seen the drama over the 2018 redesign. I have seen even more drama over the 2023 overhaul. Nova, Autumn, Liann, Leo, Olly, Zac, Paisley, and Aliya. I love it. To (not so) briefly outline, the original designs of the five girls were extremely non-diverse and stereotypical. Four out of the five girls were white, and even then Andrea was simply the token "slightly darker skinned" girl. From left to right: Mia was ginger and liked animals but notably, unlike the other girls, wears trousers!; Emma was black-haired and liked art and karate. Andrea was, as I previously stated, the token non-white girl with brown curly hair, and she liked singing; Stephanie was blonde and like...
