Do you ever just...

Do you ever just sit and stare at the wall because you're trying not to explode with frustration, depression, disappointment, confusion, sadness, and anger?

I know, since I'm the Drama Queen you're probably not taking this seriously. And that's okay. Because I don't need to be put on suicide watch or anything. But, honestly, I'm really ticked.

Lately I've been trying not to automatically think "I cannot do anything." Now I can say, with experience to back me up, "I cannot do anything."

First I tried drawing and it sucked. I know I'm not going to be an ultimate professional manga artist by tomorrow but jeez, can my drawings just look human, please?

So I gave up on that and tried to do other stuff.

I've been trying to teach myself how to do html and blog editing and all that crap because I know I won't always have someone else to run to that will do it for me and I just like knowing how to do things for myself (excluding my hair of course). But Google and other blogs have not been very good resources as of late. I made one button all by myself (with a little tutorial from a Wordpress blog):


But I don't know how to link it to anything or insert it in my blog or do anything with it and I just uuuugggghhhh. And I know I shouldn't torture myself this way but did I really ask you to tell me something I already know?

Then I tried creating blogs using other things like Wix and Wordpress but they just looked suck-y. And I tried making new "creative" personal images but I totally flopped on that.

I've said previously that I experimented with scrapbooking and it looked like a "challenged" three-year-old had attacked some pictures with scissors and slapped them onto a piece of paper with waaaay too much glue.

I've tried inventing little things with leftover paper like the cute stuff I've seen on Tumblr, which usually results in:

a. Mom: Girl, get that trash up off the floor, I ain't gonna have more paper lying around this house!

or

b. Me: Man, forget this crap, I already stabbed myself with this stapler four times.

I just don't understand why I can't be all crafty or "computer crafty" or good at cute dainty stuff like other girls. Even my handwriting looks like I write with a defected hand or something. Why can't I have the delicate touch? Why can't I have the knack for cuteness? Why can't I own adorable trendy clothes? Why can't I make cute stuff? Why don't I have the natural feminine gene? Huh? HUH? HUH?!

Sorry, I'm ranting like a madgirl, but I'm just frustrated. *sigh* I guess I'll just go back to writing up weird, unnecessary extra details about fictional characters I'll never use--it seems that it's the only thing I'm good at other than breathing.

  1. Hey O!

    I totally wish that I can be cutesy and aesthetic, but the truth is, I'm not that way either! My hands are more wired for a computer keyboard than for scissors.

    Do you like reading? What about making videos? Every computer usually comes with a generic video editing program, and I use it sometimes to make "video diaries" or random stuff. It might be a fun creative outlet :-)

    Anyway, I totally feel you on this post! I have no idea how to put a link on a picture, and I'm not a very good scrapbooker. So...you're not the only one!

    1. I LOVE reading, but I'm super picky about books and lately it's been difficult to find new books to read.

      And I've tried video editing but I have VERY low patience (and that one character trait sort of cancels out everything :P). And video diaries do look cool, but I tried them before and I really HATE seeing myself on camera.

      I know, I'm so difficult :P But I'm so glad someone else understands! Thanks again! :)
