It’s no secret that my favorite thing to study is the art of procrastination. It’s how I found CollegeCandy, it’s how I began writing for CollegeCandy. It’s why I thought of the idea to interview ’90s icon, Ben Savage. It’s why I held a paper plate awards ceremony for my friends. It’s why I think watching the same Modern Family episode for the 9th time in case I missed anything totally hilar is a grand idea. Because all of the above are way, way, WAY more fun than studying. Sure you may not do well in econ, but you can ramble off facts about (and outfits worn by) your ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend’s best friend’s sister.

But why spend your time procrastinating on FB looking at a total rando’s photos when you can spend time looking at yours own. I know what you’re thinking: “I’ve already looked at my own photos 9,246 times and detagged any photo where I didn’t have the skinny arm pose.” But what you don’t know is that now you can “awesomize” your photos.

My Lil’ Lohan, a new Facebook App developed by Best Week Ever and Plastic Past studios, allows users to either “pamper or sabotage” their own personal Lindsay Lohan.

“Each day you can choose to do something naughty or something nice to each Lil Lohan”, explain the directions on the application, “and if you can convince enough people to join you, you can stage an intervention or organize a bender for those Lil Lohans that really need it!”

If you know anyone else on Facebook with the Lil’ Lohan App, you can send and receive gifts that include sunglasses, suspicious white powder, cigarettes, and panties.

While the majority of people most likely hope Lindsay makes a full and active recovery (I say majority because I’m sure there’s a bunch who can’t wait to see her jump into a stranger’s car again with cocaine spilling out of her purse), once someone becomes a public figure, and makes a bunch of stupid decisions, the likelihood of the world forgetting about those dumb choices is pretty low.
