How do you procrastinate?

I'm meant to be writing an essay that I really don't want to do, so I'm looking for more ways to avoid doing it.
I've read loads of threads here on the escapist, I've read MLIA, FML and even Average Cats, I've looked at SMBC, explosm, checked hotmail, checked facebook, mooched on TV Tropes, gone through pretty much my entire iTunes playlist working out how to play each song on my guitar, played a few games, made a cup of tea, read some reviews on metacritic, browsed youtube, read New Scientist, watched a DVD... and now I'm reduced to staring into the middle distance and occasionally writing a few words on this goddamn essay.
So I'm asking you, how else can I procrastinate? Please no replies like "Just do your damn work", that's precisely what I'm trying to avoid doing.

EDIT: As a first year in uni studying Chemistry, I haven't written an essay since GCSE, so as a side topic, any hints of essay writing would be much appreciated.

EDIT 2: Har har, yes, you'll do it later.

PS: Before I get the searchbar nazis on me, I did search and there wasn't anything quite what I was looking for.

Oh god... I read that as "how do you prostitute?"

Basically I'm on here instead of doing the research I need for a paper that was due back on tuesday.

TV Tropes. There is no better way.
Emphatically this. Also video games. Sometimes both at the same time if I'm feeling particularly daring.

I cleaned my entire room last night because I didn't want to do an essay that's due in tomorrow which I still haven't started >_>

I'm not a fan of Spore, in fact I dare say I despise it, but in spite of this, I must say:
There is no better game out there for wasting hour after hour.
Seriously, the game eats time the way I eat cereal i.e. by the container-load.

Oh what a coincidence. It's almost 1am and I'm meant to be doing research for my Legal assessment which is due tomorrow (year 12 and all that), but I'm on here instead. I'm also on my way to make another coffee. Coffe doesn't affect me in the least, but it's easy to convince myself making coffe is practical because it's supposed to keep me awake. Oh damn, I'm in for a long night =(

I think cleaning my room would take me the best part of several days and since this essay is due Friday, I think that would be over-procrastination.

Maybe I'll do it tomorrow...

It's Dragon Age for me, I'm telling myself it's Sunday and I deserve some rest, and the deadline for my massive assignment is only 2.5 weeks away...
