Lazy

I'm sure this comes as no surprise to anyone, but I'm extremely lazy. I think that's an inherent trait in programmers. They only write programs that will do for them something quickly that they are too lazy to do the long way.

"I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble."
--Agatha Christie

I don't even really like computers in and of themselves. I only use them because I'd rather shop ebay from sitting on my butt then taking a shower, putting on makeup and going shopping in a real store. Seriously. My Christmas shopping last year was done entirely from my office chair. No exaggeration. Facebook? I'm only on it because I don't want to excert the energy on picking up the phone to call a friend or on actually writing a real-life letter. Here, let me throw a sheep at you to show you how much I care.

Jerod and I like to watch The Biggest Loser sometimes, but the only time we can get to watching it is during dinnertime. Nothing screams lazy like hunkerin' down on the couch with a blanket and a sandwich to watch a bunch of people try to lose weight. I'm inspiring, aren't I? It's almost as bad as sitting down to watch a workout video.

When I go to the gym to workout, I will drive around for 5 minutes trying to find the closest parking spot to the door as possible. Makes perfect sense to me.

When Jerod and I are both on a computer at home, rather then getting up to walk to the other room and actually talk to him, I just IM him instead.

Ok, that's enough. I'm too lazy to write more anyway.
