I can't find me!

While sitting at another computer I decided to look up my page (among others) and did a google search on procrastination page - lots of hits, none me. I did find Magicdog vs tokyo though... and this Procrastination Creed on someone elses site.

The original author of The Procrastinator's Creed is unknown, but hey, whoever you are, you've got a true believer here!!!

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitely small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.

Then I came back to my computer and, using terms I had written on my blog, I did another search - still no me. I did find this interesting site though.

So, how do I get my blog site to come up on Google...any ideas?

I had a student in my class this afternoon for whom English was her second language, so I found the bablfish translator on the web for her. She tested it out and indicated that it wasn't really that great at translating english to chinese...so i thought I'd try english to japanese and back. See below the original paragraph and then the reverse translated one.

James Cook University will advance the economic, social, and

environmental well-being of tropical Queensland, the nation

and the world by delivering world-class education and

research outcomes across a range of disciplines, with

particular emphasis on subjects of special relevance to the

tropics and our location in Australia and the Asian-Pacific

region.

To the world where the cock university of (something untranslatable)
crosses the range of training the specific importance of special

connection subject to tropical district and our positions of

the Australian and the Asia Pacific area and transfers the

tropical queen's land, nation and economic of the world,

society, welfare of environment, is advanced to the result of

noted education and research.

She may have been right. Apparently I go to Cock University now :S

My list of 10 things

OK, bowing to pressure from other bloggers....10 things I’ve done that I don’t think anyone reading has done

1. Scrap booked my entire primary and highschool education into one chunky book

2. Been customer of the month 3 times running from my Avon lady due to large purchases

3. Done a silver smithing course and made novel silver jewellery

4. Managed to stretch out a PhD to five plus years without finishing

5. Won a skateboard in a road safety drawing competition (and for the first time in my life, this seems ironic)

6. Acted in a liberal party campaign advert. (Which never made the air)

7. Spent so much on molecular biology supplies that I won a coffee machine

8. Survived three computer deaths in less than a year, including the first one which lost me 6 months worth of data - backup, backup, backup.

9. Been paid to tutor a university prac class the same year as I was doing it.

10. Successfully hidden the fact that I am, in fact, an alien from the planet Bloorg, here to do a research assignment on the humans of earth. - Or alternatively, written a complete piece of obvious fiction in my list of 10 things :)

And now...back to chapter 5...Yes Andrea, I'm still polishing it :(
