That cracked me up, thanks for the laughter it caused!

*Anakin's voice* Is it possible to learn this power? (My procrastinating I-prefer-to-wander-out-in-nature-and-the-dark self could never)

You only need a lot of free time. This year will be different for me.

I have plenty of free time, perhaps a bit too much. I also have a talent to postpone things I don't want to do when there's no duedate and it's not mandatory in my life. It'll bite me in the ass.

A busy professional and/or academic year to come? Best of luck!

This was fun to read, thanks for sharing! (And I realised my fandom list looks pretty much like yours!)
