And after all that overthinking, I feel like a meme.

A variant of the old "ask any of my characters a question" meme, I think.

Bring any of my characters a problem.

Write a problem page style letter in the comments, as long or short as you like, and in the subject line write who you'd like to respond to it - IC agony aunt style replies will be forthcoming. Anonymous posting welcome.


For the record, I'll respond as any character I'm familiar with. I won't guarantee the quality, but... HP, Good Omens, Discworld, various and sundry. If you've been watching my journal you ought to have some idea. :)

Dear Auntie Aziraphale,

I find myself with the strangest compulsion to waste time on the internet despite having very important exams just over a week away.

Please advise.

Yours in procrastinatory distress,

Lazy Sod of Chipping Norton.

Dear Lazy -

Er.

My dear Lazy,

I can't say that I can really empathise directly, since I've never particularly caught the internet bug; however I'm more than familiar with distractions. It's terribly difficult to resist temptation when it comes bearing really quite palatable wines and invitations for dinner. To pluck an example out of the air.

I've found that a firm tone of voice works wonders, and a rolled up newspaper administered sharply to the crown of the head is surprisingly effective at allowing me to get back to my tasks... however, man cannot live by bread alone, you know.

My recommendation, then, is this: set yourself targets, and allow a certain amount of time on this internet thing in return. Hard work brings its own rewards, and so forth.

I wish you the very best of luck in your exams, my dear.

Aziraphale.
