Why I Can't Get Any Work Done

A case study:

I'm sitting here, trying to finish my paper due at midnight. I'm a little over 2/3's done with it, still have a ways to go, but I'm confident I'll get it. Here's a few of the things keeping me from doing the work, though:

TriFrog77: Hello there! How are yoooou?!! XP
Effervescence 34: I ASKD YOU FIRST!
Effervescence 34: o_o
Effervescence 34: but i'm doing fine, thanks

TriFrog77: nah, its a library, shhh
Effervescence 34: oh my
TriFrog77: oh my
Effervescence 34: no, oh MY
Effervescence 34: not oh yours
Effervescence 34: no one ever says "oh yours"
Effervescence 34: and if they do they are stupid
Effervescence 34: and you'll note that I just said it twice
Effervescence 34: so what does that tell you?

Lennon says:
do you have an ipod?
Effervescence says:
no
Effervescence says:
u_u
Effervescence says:
i want one
Effervescence says:
my brother got one
Lennon says:
everyone has one
Effervescence says:
i don't
Lennon says:
like, literally
Effervescence says:
I have a minidisk player
Lennon says:
a year ago, 10 million ipods were sold
Effervescence says:
woot ghetto alternatives
Effervescence says:
wait, all at once?
Lennon says:
no
Lennon says:
like 7 million of them were
Lennon says:
now, it's going up and up
Lennon says:
apple is driving everyone out of the music player market
Lennon says:
by 2010, 95% of PC users will own ipods
Effervescence says:
what about mac users?
Lennon says:
well, right now 95% of mac users have ipods
Effervescence says:
ah
Lennon says:
so, by then, it'll probably stay the same
Effervescence says:
so how long until i can implant the ipod directly into my body?
Lennon says:
you'll be dead
Lennon says:
by then
Effervescence says:
i don't care
Effervescence says:
i need tunes in the afterlife
Effervescence says:
they don't play jpop in heaven
Lennon says:
there is no heaven
Effervescence says:
there is no hell, either
Lennon says:
I know
Effervescence says:
i learned that little tidbit from sports night

I love being an Internet clown.

Also, I wish I had a camera. A few weeks ago I saw my reflection in the mirror, and I now know where the image of the spikey haired youth protagonist from Japanese video games and anime comes from.
