How do you procrastinate?

[Amnestic]

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.

Cry, sacrifice a goat to Hermes, cry some more [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WHptG35EWU], then find an English Lit. student and ask him.

This is me procrastinating.

To truely procstratinate there is nothing better than, and I'm gonna hate myself for saying this, playing Runescape. It's the best form of wasting time because after a good hour or so you'll realise that nothing on the planet can be more tedious than trying to raise your mining stat some more and writing the essay becomes riviting by comparison.

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.

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

I'm in the same boat, trying to write an essay on humanitarian intervention and doing possibily everything to avoid doing it. I've basically done the same, checked facebook, played abit of WoW, got a cup of coffee, got some food shopping done, even cleaned(!) and now i'm finally having to do this damn thing.

Look up a comedian on youtube. Like Lewis Black or Pablo Francisco.

I usually sit around doing nothing with whatever I need to do in front of me until I get it done. Having a reward at the end usually helps ("if I finish this, then I can go on the xbox without this hanging over me" for example.

I'm a final year Chemistry student and I haven't written an essay since GCSEs... what's it about?

Stupidly took a module on History and Philosophy of Science... one lecture a week and one essay a term - how hard can it be?

go on the front lawn and count grass blades.

 

[silentsentinel]

I procrastinate effectively.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

I'll do it later.

If your reading this, you are on your way.
Other than that, gaze at the ceiling and think about the life of cookies.
Or find out how many times people have done "I'll tell you later" joke.

 

[Grahav]

I come here to procrastinate. I am doing it right now.

Me too. Goddamn internet.

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.

Basically this

 

[Video Gone]

Wank yourself silly.

COUGH COUGH COUGH.

OT: Cracked and TV Tropes are excellent, in my opinion. As is Photoshopping people, but less so.

Ah, that would explain it. Sorry, but I can't help with that. You're on your own.
