Like, I could be nearly crying because I can't get up to do laundry for 3 days or because wiping down the kitchen stove is unstimulating and hasn't been done in months.

Buuutut... if I overslept for work and now am late for a meeting with my boss and the rest of the team where I'm presenting and prepared nothing?

You'll be damn sure I have the best presentation they ever seen even though I don't know what it's about.

As a kid I once got kicked out of Literature class because the school didn't want me to drop the averages and because all I ever did was play temple run, make beats and text on Skype during lessons. At the end of the year, they told me to go take the exam anyway for some reason. So I did. Got the highest grade in class too and was praised by the very teacher who kicked me out, he personally praised me for a deep understanding of books I never actually read in full.

I once did this during an end of term Spanish competition. I was a D student all term long, but at the end of it one girl jokingly proposed. I was a rock star.

Been chasing that dragon for the last two decades.

Lol, I hadn't thought about it, but that probably why I was able to get all of the people and dogs out of my residence in less than two minutes after the earthquake a couple weeks ago. Everything is fine, we barely felt it, but it was close enough to worry about aftershocks.
