self control

It's exam week, which means my Youtube and Facebook usage has spiked. My friend introduced me to this program called Self Control. You make this blacklist of websites that you want it to block for you, which is great for being productive but a disaster when you want to procrastinate. Which I always want to do.
I set it for 2 hours to block Facebook, Youtube, and the Widget store so I couldn't get Bubble Bazinga back on my dashboard. No matter what I try to do, nothing will lift the block. I can restart my computer...I can delete the application...no dice. I should probably block this site, maybe I'm not addicted to it yet since it's so new to me. I'm sure it'll make the list next semester. Or maybe tomorrow.
This is awful. I really want to listen to Glee's version of Friday on Youtube...I know there are other ways to get to it, but I can't abandon Youtube like that. It's been there for me when I needed it most...until Self Control.
Curse you, Self Control, curse you and your scary skull and crossbones icon.
