about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

quote of the day

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

dumbass quote

  • "I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

Hurricane Downgraded to Tropical Storm

June 8, 2004

My creative whirlwind is losing momentum. Part of it is I’ve had so many projects going at once that as I see a project through to fruition, I feel a little emptier creatively. I think the other factor could be the weather. It’s been hot these past couple of days, and I don’t get much of anything done when it’s hot.

I’ve been procratinating about finishing my studio. It’s mostly done, and completely functional. I just haven’t decorated it yet. I have a few small collections that I’d like to display. Normally, I’d have the collections out before the room was functional, but for some reason, I just can’t get in the mood to do it. I may have to resort to using the air conditioner today for the sake of this room!

I’ve contacted four different companies about fixing my lawn. Now, I’m a do-it-yourself kinda girl, so I’m not usually afraid to tackle a project like the lawn. There is, however, one small detail that has made me afraid of working on my lawn myself. I have a sprinkler system. Yes, I know, it’s just tubing and sprinkler heads, and other little gadgets. But I’m afraid of ruining something. I figured I’d let some a professional handle that stuff, and I’d do the rest myself.

So, back to my four companies. Well, Company #1 was hired to design a complete landscape project for my entire yard, as well as give me a quote to fix the grass this year. Disappointment. I expected a professional would be able to design a unique landscape that incorporated all the elements I requested. The first plan didn’t even include all my required elements. The revision is better, but it’s still not the incredible design I wanted. I did finally get the quote for the grass too. It seemed a little high to me, so I thought I’d be a good little consumer and compare prices elsewhere.

Company #2 was a small local business that just celebrated it’s grand opening. “Wade” never bothered to return my call.

Company #3 was the company that installed my sprinklers. They have a very good reputation in the area, so I figured I’d get some great results. The representative for my area never returned my call.

Company #4 is a bit north of me, but was recommended by a friend of a friend. Actually, the physical therapist of my mom, but same difference. “Jim” came to my house, talked with me for (I’m not kidding) five minutes. He said he would call me tomorrow with an estimate. That was six days ago.

So now I’m thinking about doing the grass myself, like I should have done from the beginning. I contacted Company #1 at the end of April, so it’s not like I waited until the last minute to start this. I tried! I really did!

The moral of this story is, never trust anyone to do for you what you already know you can do yourself.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
