I build stuff. It's what I do. It's what I have done ever since I can remember. When I can't be creative anymore is when I'll be dead.

I always seem to have a project going. Whether it is the unfinished ceiling in the bathroom that I mess around with, or the baseboards that I just installed but have to still caulk...I just kind of stretch things out. Once a project is "done" or the house is "finished" being remodeled I always have an itch or a feeling like I need to be doing something. I just finished Grad School too, so in the midst of all of the house renovation chaos, I was writing long papers and doing school work. Maybe I need distractions, or maybe I just like the feeling of having a lot on my plate. I have always worked better, longer, and harder when I am under pressure or a deadline, so I think part of it is that I sort of bury myself in projects in order to reduce my procrastination.

I don't know how to explain it any differently. I just like to have a lot going on, and when the projects get done I tend to start plotting the next thing I am going to tear apart.
