Y'know.....I am the ultimate procrastinator.
I must have several dozen books on things I've wanted to take up and learn!
Crafts; including Blacksmithing, Flintknapping, Sketching, Origami, Leathercrafitng, and the most recent one, of which I just recieved four books for....
Whipmaking!
That's right! I said Whipmaking!
Most of you probably are in a massive state of confusion right now....frankly I'm a little shocked myself now that I've spilled it all out.
I guess it all comes down to me needing a creative outlet.
You see, back in my school days, my creative outlet was drawing. Ever since kindergarten, one of my favorite classtimes was art time where we drew and painted. I was no savant or child-genius by any means but I enjoyed it.
Over the years, advancing through school, art time became less and less, but I still found myself drawing and doodling when the muse hit me. Slowly, over the years, I improved.
By the time I was in high school, I was good. And I'm not bragging, the art teachers were telling me this! By the time I got out of High School, I was drawing of almost Comic Book character quality.
But around the same time, for some reason that still eludes me to this day, I lost interest in it altogether. I have no real idea why. Maybe I just felt that I was good enough, that I no longer had to practise. I don't know....(I wish I had'nt given up....I also wish I had taken more art classes...oh, well. Cest la Vie!)
But away from old regrets and back more or less to the subject at hand.
Even though I don't draw too much anymore, I still try and find something to do creatively. I guess that's why I've gotten so many books on different crafts. I'm trying to find a creative outlet that I'd enjoy.
And I think I've kinda found it with Leathercrafting! I've already bought some basic equipment and some practice leather.
I guess what made me get the Whipmaking books....well there are three reasons:
1) Whipmaking does'nt require alot of fancy tools, just a sharp knife, some good leather, and patience.
2) I already have some practice with braiding.
and....
3) ALRIGHT, I ADMIT IT!! I WAS A FAN OF INDIANA JONES AS A KID!!
C'mon, guys! What one of us did'nt want to be Indiana Jones as a kid.
Besides, once again, as a kid, I had some rudimentary lessons on Whipcracking!
This is one craft I've looked into and bought books for that actually is showing some promise of my actually following through on!! (Which I tell you now, is rare for me)
Hehe! Oh well, enough of that! On to more depressing things.
They're putting me back to running Frozen Food at work.
I really don't know how to take this.
It's more money, not much, but still a little more. But it's also one of the most stressful areas.
I used to run it before, but they took me off of it. I did'nt know how to handle it then when the took me off. I was relieved to be away from the stress of it, but still disappointed somehow.....Hell, I don't know anymore.
They're telling me it's only for a couple of weeks, but I have this dreadful feeling that I'm going to get it back permanantly! Especially with the way the current guy is showing his attitude.
Well, now that I've got that off of my chest I feel a little better. Sorta.
I miss Branden terribly!
She left and I forgot to write down the email address she left before she deleted it. And I've been trying to find the right one and contact her.
If anyone knows it let me know, please?
Later.
UPDATE: Well, I've given up on her! She obviously does not want to be reached.
She can't say I did'nt try.
Time to move on.
I hate losing freinds.
Cest la Vie!
Late.
