It's refreshing to see how much common ground there is. I'm pretty similar, minus the playing of games (if you mean video games that is).
till death will claim my dried body.
That's such a great line.
I like... to destroy traces of my failures:)
There's a real satisfaction in being both creator and destroyer. I also enjoy destroying all that I see fit of what I create.
It is a good idea to keep a record. That said, I just finished destroying loads of old drawings and four sketchbooks. I never looked at the drawings after doing them, just rolled them up and stored. The sketchbooks are more difficult to let go of, so I started with the early ones first. I think I have another dozen or so to let go of to complete that particular project.
It's completely liberating.
It is great to find friendly soul, doesn't happen often.
Video games, yes. Regretfully don't have much time for it anymore, but it is really good way to reset your mind, or even get a rest from troubles just for hour or so:) It helps gain perspective too. I can't sleep off or eat off my problems(I cannot sleep or eat when I am stressed) so I play games:)
Now I would just do pictures before burn stuff down, just in case. Thanks to hive, I started to be systematic and meticulous in documenting my progress. I am learning a great deal from it.
I very rarely destroy my sketchbooks because I often write down ideas, quotes, some personal nonsense because I hate taking notes on my phone, and I always have my sketchbook with me.
Those are often more personal to me than a diary.
It doesn't and I never give up looking for those rare times when it does.
Hahaha, sleeping and eating it off don't work for me either. I've never been able to keep my attention on any video game. A friend took that as a personal challenge, so he spent two years trying to find a game that would catch my attention for more than 30 seconds. I gave it my best go. I did try to get interested. Played a lot of different games. In the end he gave up and said, "You're right, video games aren't your thing at all."
It's really hard for me to keep my focus on some things, tv being another. I could never "watch" tv as a child without having a book or something else to keep my attention. Most of the time I wasn't watching much, just glancing at it and hearing it with split attention. I figure it's just the way I'm wired.
You can learn a great deal from documenting your process. I've never been on any social media until Hive in 2021, so it's still a new experience for me. I've learned quite a bit. It's been fascinating to analyze directly as well.
I agree. I do the same with my sketchbooks. They contain everything. I am finding them to be the hardest to let go of because they are so personal. That said, I made a promise to myself for years about my work that I've got to keep.
Oh gosh, very persistent this friend of yours :)
I like strategy games very much, preferably turn-based games. Something that will devour my attention:)
Oh, I feel you here. I don't watch TV, more, don't own one :) Apart from signing every year 'no TV licence needed' I don't think about it at all. But! I like to have stuff in background, can be old show(I love Black Adder and Allo, Allo) or podcasts(like murder - mysteries stuff, or movie reviews) while I am working. Apart of audiobooks and music of course:)
I still have account on facebook, but haven't used it really for years now. I haven't used it much in it's peak to be honest. So with hive I am rediscovering social media I guess:)
Sometimes the only time someone will understand who you really are is when you give them the opportunity to prove themselves wrong.
Is that only in Northern Ireland? Do they mean an actual license or is that what they call the service?
I heard about Black Adder, that it was good, but never seen it.
So many friends tried to get me to join fb. I remember feeling very annoyed at being socially pressured to do so at several points. That only served to cement my refusal to join it. It seems whatever direction society is going in, I seem to be going in a different direction. Not consciously, it just ends up being that way naturally. 😂
That is such delicious sentence!
Rule applies on mainland too. If you watch any of TV(or use your computer for it) you need to get licence, and pay for it. Otherwise you can pay huge fine.
E-mail from them, dosn't feel nice too:D
Black Adder is fantastic, so quirky, just love it:)
So my story with fb was simple - I was in academy then and we had few professors(that was found of fb) that would create fb chat groups to drop some more and less interested info. If you weren't there - you could easily miss a lot. So I created a account to be in the loop, that's it. But before that my friends was constantly pressure me to get an account - because 'it is so difficult to get in touch with you' 🤣
I don't need particular reason to not do things, but I need several do actually do them:)
So you mean out of spite? ;)
