Writing myself bored.

[happychemist]

I wish I could be writing something else. Anything else. Writing scientifically makes me feel so...boxed in. My tone is far too casual most of time, so I feel compelled to listen to Mozart and drink tea so that I can "write brainy".

Basically this results in a general grunty feeling of being a bull in a china shop...and a bathroom visit every half hour.

*shakes head*

If i were to write my report out in fanfic-ese

George Knightley: Have you considered auxotrophic bacteria?
Emma Woodhouse: Yes, and I have found them wanting. They simply cannot accomplish what I wish them to do.
George Knightley: I think your goals are too high. I think you should use auxotrophs. They're cool.
Emma Woodhouse: Yes, most likely my goals are too high. But I will have them nonetheless. And give up on the bacteria. I'm not using them.

LOL, FOC, and ROFL, Crysty!

I have to listen to Mozart (and similar) in order to get into Caroline Bingley's brain (and timeline). Nice to know I'm not alone. :-)

Um.... Would you get extra points...

...for mixing your research with creative writing? I know I'd give you extra points. (Unfortunately I cannot also give you the degree you seek.)

Next: What would Henry Tilney and Catherine Morland say about it? Because you know she would know nothing about it, and his explanation would open new vistas. *waits for next fan fic*

*innocent face about distracting you from your work*

*laughs* Your 'fanfic' is sweet, but I can't see Mr. Knightley saying, "They're cool."

One of my favorite quotes:
"I cannot make speeches...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am--You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it. Bear with the truths I would tell you now...You understand my feelings, and will return them if you can. At present, I ask only to hear...your voice."
-Mr. Knightley

>< I feel your pain. Everytime I sit down to write a really boring essay, I wind up also say, updating my site, or fooling around in photoshop. And taking bathroom breaks every half hour.
