Trying to do too much

Now Playing: Evanescence - My Last Breath (on my computer)
Topic: randomnity
I don't know why I try juggling three all-consuming hobbies all at once. Scrapbooking (including photography and photo management), anime (which also incorporates writing fanfiction and running my website), and writing (also involving running a website) would each be a lot on their own. Sometimes I get completely wrapped up in one and forget about the others, but then I feel bad for letting them lapse and I also miss doing them. And that's on top of running the household, looking after the kids, occasionally paying attention to my husband, doing my church assignments, and communicating with the rest of my family often enough so they won't start thinking I don't like them any more.

But I decided yesterday I should be able to do a little bit of everything. My kids are big so they don't need me to do everything for them and watch them all the time, and the house doesn't require more than a few hours a day. So I decided to do a scrapbook layout a day (keep it simple, don't sweat over making it look like it should go in a magazine) and 2, 3, 4 pages of writing. Did it yesterday, no problem, but today I've just been piddling around. Everytime I go on the computer I end up just messing around instead of writing. Like right now, for instance.

I want to get a chapter ahead of what I'm posting on my fanfics - almost there, about half of one chapter to go, then I can start posting again. All I have to do is make myself do it. with the scrapbooking, my main goal is to just start using up all STUFF I've bought. (Shopping for scrapbook supplies is almost a hobby unto itself.) I've got more patterned paper than I can possibly use in my lifetime. I used up a whole sheet yesterday and the equivalent of a whole sheet today. So what do I go and do? Buy another paper stack today! AFter I just bought a paper stack and a KI Memories Value Kit two days ago! Sheesh. I look at all that stuff and feel bloated. But it's all so pretty. **^__^**

All right, I am going to buckle down now and get some stuff done. Write some more Starfire, maybe some more Promise Kept, maybe start editing chap. 3 of Rains of Urdaisunia. And finish the page I started.

Rule of thumb for anime couples: If you can't make an AMV of them, then they aren't an official couple. Not to say that every two characters that you can make an AMV of *are* a couple, but if you can't scrape together enough footage of the two of them together to make a 3-minute video, then they don't really exist as a couple. Which of course COMPLETELY rules out both N/J pairings. (Neffy/Jeddy and Nephrite/Jupiter - even considering the manga you'd get NOTHING for the first, and one measly non-storyline drawing for the latter. So there.)
