Procrastinate

Oh, to procrastinate. I seem to excel at this activity, which is why I am up at 3 in the morning writing a this entry. The AHD defines procrastinate as a verb meaning "To put off doing something, esp. out of habitual carelessness or laziness" or (less harshly, in my opinion) "to postpone or delay needlessly." I have a tendency towards procrastinating and, as I discovered tonight, so do my friends.
Apparently, this is not a recent activity as this word has its etymoloical roots in Latin and has changed little since it first appeared. The latin word for procrastinate is prcrstint in which pro we know to mean forward, and crastinus means of tomorrow (which can be further dissected with cras meaning specifically 'tomorrow.')
