sorcyressI figure that, after badgering you lot for info on how you move and smell and whatnot, I should probably return the favour, and babble about myself.
A lot of you mentioned that you have to be active, or are always fidgiting. I get that -it's easier to focus if I'm doing SOMETHING with my hands. The best things for me to do are origami, knitting, or making those silly little friendship bracelets that used to be so big. Doodling works as a focus, but it's too easy to swap from that to full drawing, at which point you've lost me.
I can hold reasonable conversations while knitting or making cranes. Neither one takes any active thought, they've become patterns, same as walking. Which is how I can do things like walk around the mall, while knitting my scarf, while talking to Flinx. That's good stuff.
Oddly, if I'm making anything out of origami other then a crane, I have to be paying attention to it or it won't work. Cranes are the default for origami, you give me a square of paper and that's what I'll fold nine times out of ten. And it helps that cranes are the most portable and squashable (do not, for instance, squash a star-box...they won't look as good)
***
Has anyone else had the problem where someone's told them out of the blue that they like something you do, and therefore you have a sudden pressure to not mess up on doing that thing anymore? Like if someone told you you had a good walk, and then you're unsure how to walk because you think too hard about it?
Yeeeeeeeah. Thanks Swing. High praise indeed, but now, I must be brilliant! AIIIIG!!
...Back to cranes.

MOOP!
Postscript: Jaimee, I have a dozen or so cranes for you. Including some floresent ones. Which rocks.
