Polyvore, Pinterest and Procrastination

This edition is all about my three favorite P's. 

Polyvore, Pinterest and  Procrastination.

(the first two are excellent ways to accomplish the third.)

If you haven't heard, there is a wonderful new way to waste your time and make collections of stuff you love. It is called Pinterest. The best new little time-waster on the internet. Polyvore, like Pinterest is an excellent time waster, only on Polyvore, you make collections of clothes, housewares, architecture and such and can then post them to Pinterest.

I am a self professed Pinterest addict! I can't get enough of pinning fabulous things, ideas and recipes to my many pinboards. Pinterest is not only a fabulous place to create fabulous collections, but it is a fabulous waste of time. While on pinterest I can collect hoards and hoards of wonderful things to create while also collecting wonderful recipes I would love to create, but without ever creating anything, or making progress on any projects. If my closet, or my craft room were anything like they are on pinterest I would be a very happy girl.

That brings me to the next P. Polyvore.  I stumbled upon Polyvore while pinning on Pinterest. (See, my three favorite P's are all connected in a gigantic web of fabulously wasted time.) Polyvore is magnificent. I can create outfits, and collections of outfits, or things I would want to wear and pretend that my closet is vast and expansive when in reality it is not. I love Polyvore.

Finally Procrastination. This has always been a favored pastime. I have spent many hours in the pursuit of procrastination perfection, and I will admit that I am an expert in the subtle art that is procrastination. It takes time to master the craft of procrastination. It also takes time to master the craft of catching up and accomplishing the task you were using procrastination to avoid. I have never let a task fail because of my procrastination, but instead I get the task done, while also finding wonderful new ways of wasting time.

As we speak I am procrastinating. I'll bet you thought I actually sat down to write this post. That my friends, would be wrong. I sat down because I have homework to write, things to read, and online classes to pay attention to, but after having spent a few hours already today on both Pinterest and Polyvore, and now writing not one, but TWO blog entries, I have successfully wasted much of this wonderful wednesday on procrastination.
