So, I was wondering.

Which is correct, "I am a terrible procrastinator" or "I am a wonderful procrastinator"?

If you think about it they both really do mean the same thing. But which one truly is grammatically correct? Are neither of them correct? Or is it simply just personal preference? And if so which is more common? - I guess you hardly ever hear the second one being used, so that answers that question. But still, why would anyone say "I am a terrible procrastinator"? It just doesn't make any sense. And what kind of word is
procrastinate anyway? Who came up with that? I know this is just one example, and a very poor one at that, but it is my belief that the English language it completely insane.

So anyway, I think now is a good time to announce that I do procrastinate... from time to time... when I feel the need to... or if it seems like a good thing to do...

That's all.

Heh. If you break the word down ... it means you're a "pro" (professional) at ... crastinating.

Um... what does that mean?

Melanie's wonderful dictionary that she invented on the spot to the rescue!

Crastinate: (verb) to put off to later.

So ... you're a wonderful procrastinator. And I really like you because of it; makes your blog entries that much more enjoyable when they come!
