I foresee a lot of Netflix reviews will get written in the coming days. Really I want to take a long motorcycle trip but I have been all, "No, I cannot take a long motorcycle trip until my taxes are done." This sort of self-imposed allegedly motivating delayed gratification mumbo-jumbo never works out for me, instead leading to stir-craziness and a pervasive atmosphere of peevishness. My utter lack of personal discipline is probably what creates most of the trouble in my life, but I have never found discipline to be gratifying in any way, even in the long term.

I also think I hate taxes for the same reasons that I hate working on resumes, job interviews, and border crossings; interaction with authority figures, even at a telegraphic remove, engenders in me psychic distress even more pronounced than that which human interaction produces generally. I cannot bear the idea that someone, somewhere, is evaluating me. DON'T READ THIS THREAD AND IF YOU DO DAMN WELL DON'T EVALUATE IT.

i want to destroy civilization

and hand it back to the noble savages. It will be the great epochal anti-Western in which the spread of lawlessness and barbarism is valorized. Do you know what the difference is between a witch doctor and a TV/booklist self-help guru? THE MEDICINE MAN ACTUALLY KNOWS THINGS ABOUT HERBS AND SHIT THAT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

Taxes schmaxes

Just the word makes my stomach sink. See, two-thirds of my income was untaxed this year, and I still made just enough to barely get by.

So now I have to, you know, pay taxes on thousands and thousands of dollars and then pay someone to do them because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing in that regard. It's not as if I can simply fill out a 1040EZ anymore. And, also, H&R block charges like 20 bajillion dollars for each additional field they have to fill out, and each separate 1090 equates to 20 bajillion additional fields so...it's going to be gruesome.

And since I'm a procrastinator, April 15= THE DAY I AM OFFICIALLY IMPOVERISHED.

i did mine...it only took

i did mine...it only took about 20 minutes and I have finally graduated to a 1040A form. I only made $16,000 and am getting $1300 back. Usually I only get $300 but I realized I could claim my domestic partner as a dependent. Now I just have to put stamps on the envelope....and that might take awhile. The exciting thing is I'm gonna be through with all of my credit card debt once I have my rebate check.
