I'm the Goddamn Nightwyrm

“What happened to Day 3” I hear you ask. Well, it turns out that photos of me and my friends are a bit scarce so I need to do a bit of digging before answering that. Why hold up the game, I thought, so here’s my Day 4 post: a habit I wish I didn’t have. 

I’m an awful procrastinator who’s also developed a good dose of “can’t be added.” Basically, there’s heaps of stuff I know I need to, but I can’t force myself to do any of it. Sure, I step up to the mark when prompt action is required, but keeping up with the mundane and routine does my head in. 

Some of it will be laziness, some of it will be lack of motivation (having a depressive mood disorder doesn’t help with that), and some of it will be sheer boredom. In short, I need to pull finger and get my shit together before my bad habit of procrastination leaps up and bites me in the ass. 

Day 2: What’s the meaning behind your blog name?

This one’s pretty short and sweet.

Batman is one of my favourite comic book superheroes, and Frank Miller’s All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder is one of the more distinct versions out there. This title birthed a comic book meme when Batman introduced himself to the future Boy Wonder as “the Goddamn Batman” in issue #2. My blog title is a play on that meme.

Okay, I’m jumping on this bandwagon initiated by that horrid ratbag, Suzi. 30 days of talking about myself, which should be interesting in itself as I do tend to be a little reticent about personal stuff. Hopefully, I’ll keep this going the full 30 days.

Without further adieu, here’s my effort for Day 1…
