Procrastinating

I don't want to write about anything serious this morning, so here's a little clue-in to my thought processes:
  • I was looking at the costume I made for this skit tomorrow and was thinking of how much I like costuming.
  • Next I thought of how I would design clothes for my paper dolls as a child, sometimes copying from pictures in magazines and doll catalogues.
  • I am really glad that my parents never bought me an American Girl Doll (much as I sighed for one at the time) because it would surely have gotten broken or something.
  • A lot of my dolls had things happen to them. I would cut their hair and dress them in weird things (like rubber bands) and bits of their bodies would come off. Or they would get glue on them.
  • I had Aladdin and Jasmine barbie dolls once. Aladdin's head wasn't manufactured very well, so it would keep coming off. I would try to take Jasmine's head off so that they would match.
  • I'm really glad (and other people probably are, too) that I'm not queen of a country somewhere. "Off with his head! Wait, he was married? Bring his wife! Aw, they'll look so cute..."
  • In the Mikado, if a married man is beheaded, his wife must be buried alive.
  • I really really really don't want to be buried alive.
  • Neither did the Victorians.
  • I learned that from Michael Crichton. His book "State of Fear" isn't nearly as good as most of his others.
  • I'm not a very good writer.
  • I need to write more in order to become better.
  • Dude! I'm sitting at my computer typing. Maybe I should write a story.
  • Maybe later.
Just one example of how everything I do leads to procrastinating about something.

Now you've got me thinking about how the female praying mantis bites the head off her mate during sex.

If what he says is true - 'tis death to marry you! :) *heehee* Haven't listened to the Mikado for awhile - I should stick it in for the ride home.
