It would be like the earth, and I would be like God

I really want to make a terrarium. Like really badly want to make one. I'm not sure how I will feel about it in the morning. When I'm awake in the wee hours of the morning (IE every night) I get these almost uncontrollable compulsions to undertake huge projects. It's all I think about, and the more it's in my head, the more my brain and body say "DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!". It's rather dangerous.

Anyways. Oh yeah, terrariums. How freaking cool are they?
Mine wouldn't be this intense of course, but oh if it could!

Oh man! This one is a ring! How sweet would that be?



There are a few things holding me back. I have no idea how to make one. I have maybe 2 dollars to my name at this point. The biggest one: I would lose interest.

This is how everyone of these late night projects go (stupid boy projects*). I get really excited about something. For the next few days-weeks-months, it's all I think about. I plan it out, map it out, draw it out, until all my notebooks are covered in ideas. Then I go crazy getting everything I need. After I have all the necessary items and have a solid plan I lock myself in my room for hours-days-eons working on it. When I'm finally finished, I stare at my result for a few hours.
Then I'm bored with it.
BORED.

This is why I try not to act upon my late night project urges. It takes up my life until completion, but then I don't care about whatever it is. How long did I spend painting the sheep on my wall? I really don't care about it. And all the homemade paper? I wasn't really interested in making the actual paper, just figuring out how to make the frame and the pulp (paper batter?).

Maybe if I go to bed early, I won't get these ridiculous urges.
Yeah, and maybe if hell freezes over, that will happen.

*Seriously, if you read Yes Man you would understand almost half of the stupid things I say.

Stuck

I've been in a bit of a funk lately, and it's hard to think clearly. Though after today I realized that even during these crappy times there are good things still happening.

Things like

  • Receiving the weirdest/greatest text ever from a wrong number
  • The best nachos I have had for Linger Longer
  • My damn good taste in music, and getting new stuff
  • Having 3 cookies at church which resulted in the worst sugar high I've ever had
  • Having friends who just laughed at my sugar high craziness instead of being annoyed, as I thought they would have been
  • People being able to forget all my anger and depression ridiculousness from my teen years
  • Having a large bag full of some of my grandma's jewelry
  • The incredible rain we've had for the past few days
  • I'm going to say the rain again, because it is amazing
  • Re-reading Yes Man for the umpteenth time, and re-discovering the reasons why it's the best book ever for the umpteenth time
  • This valentine by aquaticfishy

Women's panties!

I have a post in the making but I have been busy with working on the family mix, cleaning my closet, and procrastinating. I'm just letting you know, so you don't think I've abandoned my blog.

Until then, here's a video of my great aunt Wilma, Duke's #1 fan, watching a Duke basketball game.
