Daily Question Response

In my last post I talked about my terrible schoolwork procrastination, now for my procrastination among other things outside of school.

Although school is what my life is based around, I can still procrastinate on tons of other things like chores. Chores, chores are among the most hated things, for me at least. My chores probably are considered very light for most people. The cats litterbox, my room, keeping all my stuff out of other rooms, cooking dinner once in a while, and yardwork sometimes.

A while back, I made a deal with my mom that If I cleaned the litterbox, I could keep my room the way I wanted it, because the litterbox is accessed through my room. She changed her mind, the next week she made me clean my room. I don't know why I agreed to this deal, I was so niave. Our cat hates me anyway, he dashes away if I move and he sees me, he does not let me sit next to him, he doesnt like me one bit. He favorite is my brother. The litterbox is not to hard to do, just sort of disgusting, the cat convienently kicks half of the litter out of the box onto the floor, and then drags it onto my rug while leaving. I do the litterbox, eventually, usually on a sunday night. It gets done.

My room is the problem. I live in a "pigstye" (My mom, every day). I dont mind having papers and books and pillows and blankets and garbage and other useless junk on the floor. As long as I can walk safely, I'm fine. My mom still has a problem with my room, even though she doesnt have to be in it, look in it, or have any contact with it, its not in the middle of the house, its on a corner through a hall. She tells me to clean my room every weekend before I can do anything fun, I tell her I need something fun before I can clean my room. I don't know how people can consider cleaning fun, I despise cleaning. It takes a lot of effort, not physical effort, but the boringness really gets to me. I do something that I feel I don't need to. Sometimes, on very, very rare occasions, I will feel like making my room neat and tidy. I wish I could be like that more often, I dont see a need for cleaning my room, but I want to. I can't keep living like a "pig" but I don't mind it. Whenever my room does get a thourough cleaning, it gets unclean within a few days. I have a nack for taking something out, and leaving it out, I guess I never learned the "put it back before you get something else" rule. I need to.

Cooking dinner is not too much of a problem, I don't mind cooking because I get something from it. A tastey meal. Cooking is also fun. It is fun to create something from different ingrediants, and tasting the difference between one variation of a recipie and another. Yardwork is also not too hard for me to do. I like being outdoors, and I dont mind throwing dirt into a wheelbarrow and pushing it to the backyard. I can see the results of what I'm doing soon enough.

I've discovered why I don't mind some things while writing this post. It appears that a reason I don't do some things is because I feel I don't need to, and I don't mind doing other things because I feel that I am benifiting from them. So far, this seems like a good daily question.
