Why is it still September?

Today, I downloaded this nifty little program called Temptation Blocker. I selected Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger, and all games to be blocked. Sadly, I'm not actually... blocking them now. >.> I should be. I'm supposed to be writing, but I'm tired and cranky and making excuses while I can (until November). I have to get it out now, while I still have time.

Maybe I should read. Or maybe I should go book shopping! Or maybe I shouldn't. I have a stack of books in my bedroom that is nearly as tall as I am (5'3) that I've had for months and still haven't read, yet I keep buying more. Addiction? I think so. Is rehab in my future? No, but saving up is, so I won't be able to blow $200 in a 20-minute period for a long time.

*sigh* I guess I ought to get to work. I need to set a goal for today. I keep trying to tell myself, 1,000 words, that's all I need... But I get deadset on making it to at least 2,000. And in doing this, in the past 7 days, I've written 18,000 words on a story that I pulled out of my ass, that I most likely won't continue after November. This is just to get in the habit of forcing myself to work every single day. Even though I actually haven't. I'm trying not to force myself to do too much. I don't want to be really sick of it.

I've spent an hour already browsing websites and typing here and eating pickles, so I seriously have to get to work now. But pickles will still be eaten in the process.
