Long-time No-post

As usual and no-shit.

This is nothing new if you'll refer to the start of my last post "2 Months Gone: Not bad - considering how long I sometimes go without posting." Yeah, this time it's been closer to 6 months.

I've come to the conclusion that I spend *way* too much time looking at other people's creativity and not enough time being creative myself. With the amount of time I spend reading, cruising posts on Etsy and DeviantArt (the list actually goes on and on including BoingBoing, Craftster, Make, Instructables and has now expanded to include gawking at others' failed creativity through sites like Cakewrecks - Ooo I haven't looked at that for a while I go take a look - damn you Toby!), and watching good shows online, I should really be dedicating more time to my own writing and crafts.

Yet if you will take a moment to examine the preceding paragraph and do a surface analysis of its structural and grammatical makeup, you will see displayed the type of state my mind is in these days. Hell, just reread that last sentence and it should tell you something.

In short, I am all over the place. I want to write, I want to book bind, I want to embroider and cross stitch and learn crewel, I want to make costumes, I want to rollerskate and bike ride, I want to write a comic, I want to read comics endlessly, I want to finish my crappy fantasy series I inadvertently started reading and start reading about the sociology of crime. I want to do nothing but play video games and I want to get serious about learning Dutch. I can hardly decide to do one thing when I feel what I actually want to do is something else.

I also have tons of pics to post and I will post them at some point, but first I need to go in medias res (in a way) with some projects and finish them off. What I might also do is repost The Adventures of R in this very blog. I wrote this short series of very short stories about three years ago, starting during the time when I was living in the Bay Area. The main character is R and the stories are oddly sappy little snippets of things I felt, but never saw, during a misplaced time in my life.

'Course, by the time I get around to writing my next entry, things may have changed. We'll see.
