e-mail avoidance tactics, movies, school

I have not looked at my inbox in...awhile. I am ridiculously behind on everything and I feel guilty in that way that only compounds itself when I continue to avoid hacking away at the backlog of work. That's how this works for everyone, right? In your mind it becomes so much work you feel like you will never be able to catch up and so you avoid it which only leads to more work! There's no escape. I accidentally turned on Priority Inbox in gmail, and now I am plagued with even more reminders. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME, GOOGLE.

I do appreciate all the good and happy and supportive thoughts I received. I will reply, but seriously, I am fucking terrified of my inbox right now, it may eat me.

True to form, trauma comes calling and I go hide in fantasyland for a week! This means I did the following things:

1. I watched Inception again. All the same flaws, too many white guys, blah blah, but I loved it even more the second time catching all the hints and knowing what was going on. Of course I am a big hypocrite because I have fallen into the Arthur/Eames blackhole (predictably), because there is not a Dom/Saito blackhole (yet, my brain says hopefully). This was probably meant to happen, considering I was onboard during the first viewing when Eames appeared on the screen and opened his mouth at Arthur. I may or may not have voted for anything Inception related for these awards which I will never watch because I don't have cable and also I hate Spike TV and shouldn't be enabling gendered awards and/or TV channels, but! But. Joseph Gordon Levitt! Tom Hardy! ELLEN PAGE. The amount of ladies on that list is depressing, though. Also, some of the categories, what.

2. I've read about 100,000 words of fanfiction in the last two weeks. I have not touched an actual book in...well, I don't want to talk about it. My delicious account is very misleading right now, because lots of stuff (read: porn) is saved privately because I was reading like someone drowning for words, for distraction, and am very particular about how a bookmark has to look in my account before it can be public. I'm weird, what else is new.

3. Hid from all reading and subscriptions lists. I have basically decided there's no way for me to go back and catch up and still sleep, so I wouldn't mind pointers if you've posted something interesting!

4. Successfully dodged all Mockingjay spoilers. This was fucking hard, all right, and I am very proud of myself.

Back in reality, I have been mainlining Spanish grammar and getting a crush on my Shakespeare professor, who spilled a cup of water in class and then said, "And that was such good vodka."
