theory

I think people have blogs so they can write something when they're supposed to be writing something else. Like, I should be writing the response I have due tomorrow, or the paper I have due the day after, but I'm not. I'm just writing this blog that nobody is going to read. Writing this blog feels productive in a way that reading fanfiction or thinking about what classes I want to take in the spring or looking for the perfect thing to buy my girlfriend for her birthday. Writing this blog means that in a few minutes there will be a written blog. In a few minutes I will be able to say "I wrote a blog" when somebody asks why I wasn't writing my paper. Blogs are tums to the churning nausea of procrastination.
