Well, time for an update:

But if you promised your girlfriend something you had no intention of keeping, was it for your benefit or hers?

It's wasn't so much a promise as her saying "you should not do these things for a while" and me saying okay. I didn't expect it to be a set-in-stone proposition, but I still felt guilty.
As for the procrastination, ya'll have sparked a question in my mind..

..but I hasten to point out that you, unlike many people are able to muster the self control required to cram massive amounts of work into short periods of time.

Would those of you who procrastinate consider yourself to be of above-average intelligence? There have been a lot of studies about the most intelligent (IQ) people having a distaste for authority because they realized at a young age that they knew more than the 'authority' -- usually a teacher. I wonder if procastination develops out of a need to prove that you can get it done "on your own time..?" This time, like most times, I felt very good about having smashed three weeks of lesson into one night of studying (I did very well on the test today) and likely beating many of my peers.

I think procrastination comes from boredom. I still haven't found a place where I can really thrive, a place where what I'm doing doesn't feel like work, even if I get paid for it. I think that the day I find a job where I don't procrastinate, where I want to get the work done early simply because I like it so much... that is where I will be fulfilled.

You guys also nailed it on the head with this one, and it is most of the reason for my previous post on a similar manner -- I'm bored.

You know, I was a "procrastinator" for many years until I up and realized that I wasn't procrastinating, I was just not that interested in some things.
|
This is also a good point-- perhaps I'm dwelling too much on the fact that procrastination is "bad" as all my instructors have been quick to point out, and should focus more on it being a very effective way for me to accomplish things.
Finally -- the question of the hour:

yeah, well on this note - an ex of mine didn't like it because she didn't think I was as rock hard after I'd made a pre-emptive attack, so to speak. seemed to think I was being selfish.

Let's just say that little Kai the pirate ship doesn't always seem willing to sail the open seas with its' flag at full mast. My theory is that caffiene, being a sympathetic nervous system "drug" ...doesn't help this situation. Nor does masturbating.. I've reached the end of my Ocean at this point..
