A short word

I love words. A long time ago, I used to collect dictionaries and thesauruses. I thought that by collecting old dictionaries i would discover old and forgotten words and somehow bring them back into vogue. Alas, this did not happen. I liked the idea of collecting unusual words as well, and filled notebooks with them (sadly, I can no longer find them). I still have a few dictionaries ( 5 to be exact) but they rarely get used, except for the odd scrabble game. But somehow, I can't bring myself to throw them away. recently, we moved house, and as a result, got rid of many books that we no longer used or wanted. But I still could not part with the dictionaries.

I like to flick through them occasionally, picking random pages. At uni, I used to procrastinate from assignments by playing a game. You randomly pick a page, and take the first word, then a second page and the second word and so forth until you have 10 words to make a sentence with. for example: expeditious, northern, confidently, twirls,shamefaced, galore, velvet, snub, pig, wedding. So, an expeditious northern pig twirls around confidently in a velvet galore dress, only to snub a shamefaced groom at his wedding. Doesn't make much sense, does it? It was a great form of procrastination as it took a lot of time to craft the sentence plus as I was studying creative writing, I convinced myself that I was actually doing some work!
so I was wondering, what do other people do (other than facebook, e-mail etc) to procrastinate from doing something boring but necessary? And does anyone else collect words?
