I haven’t had a chance to organize my photos, but in the meantime, this is SO SO CUTE:

cow penguin!

Hi everyone.

So here’s the thing. When I first started this, it was supposed to be completely reserved for crafty things only. Which in theory is great, except, well, long story short I am much more awesome at the thinking than the doing.

This means I haven’t really accomplished a whole lot, and I don’t really know why, other than I am tired and I am easily distracted, and sometimes I’ll spend two hours playing Animal Crossing collecting fruit and redecorating my fake house when I should be spending two hours learning how to use my sewing machine or working on my gentleman caller’s Space Invaders scarf or embroidering weird things on my boring clothes, or forcing myself to learn how to draw, or whatever.

I generally post my day to day random over at Livejournal, in part because I don’t want people to think I am some cranky jerkbot when they read this blog. But what’s the point?

I am feeling like I should consolidate things because #1 – I actually pay for this blog, #2 – I need to force myself to do things and #3 – I am a cranky jerkbot and there is no sense hiding it.

Ideally I would still like the primary focus to be on making but that also involves doing.

As you may have heard, I will be out of a job in August. Right now I am struggling with the idea of what I should do next. I had been thinking of going back to school to be a Home Economics teacher. I am terrified that this is not the right choice.

I already have a BA (double major in psychology and women’s studies & gender relations), and a certificate in Journalism. Obviously the journalism thing didn’t work out – I am just not that motivated and I also don’t really care a lot about the news. I mean I do, and I don’t. I have a hard time thinking about the world because a lot of the time it just makes me sad, and then I feel helpless. This is not a thing I enjoy.

Anyways, I think I am rambling at this point. Maybe let’s do up some photos now, and then I can go clean up my house and start working on something.
