It's an online pictionary and I only discovered it recently. I was browsing online games sites on my lunch hour and got hooked. Incidentally this was about the time that I wrote my last few words of my 20,000 for January. Yes, the two are connected.
I need to stop playing it, or I'm never going to get the novel done. I can't let myself buy the new Sims 2 expansion pack when it comes out either. Why? Oh because besides the end to my novel and occasional exercise dreams, it would also mark the end of sleeping as I know it. I do think that if the Sims had never been released I would have written a novel by now. I certainly would have achieved higher than a 2.1 result at University. I am aware that blaming a computer game is a convenient way of denying how plain lazy I am. But it makes me feel better, so there.
So I met up with some ex-colleagues last night. It was a good evening, and I was being saintly to begin with. I ordered a salad and was avoiding the dressing. But then when it came to desserts one of the girls really wanted one, but the rest of us didn't. When she realised this she said, "Oh no, I can't be the only one, I won't have one." So of course I HAD to have one then didn't I? I would have felt guilty because her eyes had really lit up when she saw the dessert menu. I made the two others have a bite too.
I'm being extra good today to make up for it. Now I know having a fattening chocolate brownie dessert is not the answer if I want to lose weight, but initially I had decided not to and I felt confident that I didn't need to have one. Choosing to have one was an act of friendship.
Is anyone else noticing that I tend to blame other things / people for my failures?
