Impulsively Chose this Pic. (Taken from Google Images.) |
Let me elaborate...
I don't always take my time with things.
Exhibit A: Looks. Fall Fashion Favorites 2012.
It's not that I don't feel invested in projects, as though they're not worth my time. It's that, well, I'm impulsive. I become so excited over the thought of executing a vision, that I rush to get it done.
Exhibit B: 3rd Grade D.A.R.E. Poster.
In 3rd grade science, we were assigned 3 weeks to complete a D.A.R.E. To Keep Kids Off Drugs poster to display for something like Parents' Night? ... So excited to receive the assignment & the idea of meticulously choosing amongst 64 Crayolas spread atop the dining room table, I promptly rushed home, scribbled crayon onto shiny new poster board, & cut some pics out of a magazine, jagged edges and all.
Proudly, I turned it in the next day while all of the other students hadn't batted an eye or even begun. Idiots.
When the posters were returned, I received a D. A D! On my D.A.R.E. poster! The likes of sloppily lettered purple-ish-red, uneven, hand-drawn capital letters plopped exuberantly--now appearing deflated--in the middle of my poster. (...Drawing never was my thing.) A D. Is D.A.R.E. even around these days anyway??
And so you have it. I confess. I am impulsive The things I love the most or feel most profoundly inspired by, I often rush. (Like sometimes, my blog posts.) And, apparently, I learned nothing from the 3rd grade.

Least I'm not a drug addict.
(See. That poster was good for something.)
