Keep happy friends, everyone. It will keep you happy, studies prove it! Ok, ok, so maybe they don't necessarily prove it, but the people you surround yourself with definitely impact how you're feeling on a day to day basis. Surround yourself with positive, happy people, it'll do you some good! Ok, now that that's out of the way, how are you? How've you been? On my relaxing days, I tend to get irritated with myself for not getting things done, is that weird? Yesterday, for example, I really didn't do much. I had planned on going shopping, doing laundry, getting grocieries, maybe even making cookies but I ended up sleeping a lot of my day away. Sleeping is great, but when I'm bored and I don't want to just eat when I'm bored, I'll just get sleepy and nap for four hours at a time. Last night I finally got out and had a beer but with my procrastinator's mindset of "I'll get all this stuff done tomorrow". Eesh. I love getting stuff done, and the way it feels at the end of the day, but on my days off I have trouble doing it! Ack! I actually DO tend to get a lot more done if I either have someone to do my mundane life things with, or if I have people coming over soon, both of which are the case today. What are the catalysts in life? Motivation, Drive, Propulsion to move ahead and achieve whatever large or small goals are in place for that day. I have a tendency to get stuck revising my planner and budget when I should just be DOING. I suppose those things would be the noncompetetive inhibitors of my enzymic lifestyle and in order to break down and get to work, since I don't have competetive inhibitors (like work), I need ADP to get me jumpstarted. Temperature is certainly a factor here. It's now cold and snowy outside so I'm less likely to want to get out of bed, but to make these chores fun, I've got friends to go with me. My ADP. Alright I'm off to do my stuff for the day! I hope you have a great Wednesday!!!
If you need some inspiration, watche Amelie today, or read a good book and tell me what you learned via email or commenting on my blog! I love to hear about that stuff!!!

Thanks for reading!

This post seems much less nerdy than when you were pulling out a science book in order to write it.
Also, while I value friends on a very high order, I think, and pardon me if I skip a few steps in my logic argument: one should be able to produce his or her own ADP.** At the very least, its a great strength when one can trick himself into getting up and doing something that doesn't presently feel good but has benefits in the near-to-long future. Someone even coined a phrase for it somewhere along the way, "willpower", I think. (that shouldn't sound as smarmy as I think it looks)
Not that your enzymnatic lifestyle is wrong or even unreasonable. But this might be a thought for change. One could say your troubles with driving a scene are rooted in the same arena that your trouble to drive a day is in. And even if it isn't, positive change in one might still affect the other in positive manner.
Circumstances unchanging, I am happy to play ADP when needed.

**I'm pretty sure this sentence is grammatically correct, albeit hard to read.
Wait... did I write this post? Or are you just living my life?
I love this post, but, in my bionerdiness, I think what you need is a rush of ATP, that energy currency of life.
Is there anything sexier than a non-professionally scientifically inclined woman with a good sense of humor? I doubt it.
Jeremy---Point taken and of course!
Ms. Brash Lion---Living your life.
Jim--- Blush* :)
I'm so happy that I'm your ADP (or ATP, as the case may be... maybe I'm the ADP and you add your own phosphate, or something). That made my day!
To procrastinate, I often read articles about how not to procrastinate. It makes me feel better about my procrastination.
What is this "willpower" of which Jeremy speaks? I believe he made that word up. It'll never catch on.

P.S.: From reading your blog, I think our theme should definitely be science.
P.P.S.: We must write! That's one thing I must not procrastinate! When're you back in town?
MC Princeton,
I'm coming back Friday morning early....I'll be around Friday night I think if you're around? We could do supper, write, maybe go see a show...or just hang out? You're my fem-besty!
