Halloween cards )

Starting on holiday projects already; hey, it's October, so it's time to get in the spirit of Halloween. Also, I'm starting on the Christmas crafts because I'm trying to handmake everything again this year, hopefully with better success than last year (when I swore I was going to hand-make things, and then cracked at the end and wound up buying everything anyway. I really don't want to do that this year). I have some really excellent and totally do-able ideas this year though, so I'm super-psyched to get a head's up on them - I will never be one of those people to have all their Christmas gifting done in mid-July (growing up, a friend's mom was like that; how the hell did she do it?), but maybe I'll have it done before Thanksgiving? That would be refreshing.

I got some important things done today, like the info for updating my address on my state ID, changing my loan billing information, dropping my Euclidean Geometry class, and doing some laundry, but right now I'm wide awake, restless, and itching to move. Why does it always hit me in the middle of the night?

Today I made another junk book.

you fit into me )

This was actually the second one I made today; I didn't even finish the first one. It was the same poem, the same purpose, but it's like I got "over excited" and just really started rushing through it. I've said it before, I like "doing" but I like "having done" more - my pursuit of the goal is often at the risk of the experience. So I forced myself to take a little more time and really picture what Iw anted this to look like; I wanted it to be a one night project, and I wanted it to be simple (something overly complicated just wouldn't suit the poem), and while this is not exactly what I envisioned, it is a hell of a lot closer.

It's not like I do it intentionally, but my own impatience (which, again, I think if an off-shoot of my attentional issues) often seems to sabotage my projects. Like, "oh God, I better get this finished while I still have the momentum and the motivation."

Mayeb someday I won't be like that, and I'll be a normal person and I will do things I enjoy and actually enjoy doing them.
