heya Jon,

The problem is, I have tried, and I keep getting caught up in projects.
There is some OCD in my family, and this might be mine popping up in the
form of a friendly Brick :)

I don't really let the online goofiness upset me, its more like it
constantly errodes my desire to be a part of it.

interesting, not that I wouldn't love for it to be true, but I am curious
why you believe this.

I am always into space :) I told you guys that, and I mean it... I have a
VES-X sized ship that is half finished right now in fact.

I agree, and I told Sarah that in my opinion she completely misunderstood
Suz's post, and Sarah's response was clear that she had no further interest
in Lugnet. She cut off the conversation, and that made me think she left
for another reason, but is using this as an excuse.

I have a Bricklink store already, but I can't find any parts that I want to
get rid of that anyone would buy... since I enjoy all of the themes, it
requires a crazy-varied collection of parts. Any ideas?

I try this too, but ideas for Lego swamp me out and I can't work on other
stuff... its kind of annoying really.

I know I will. I don't regret getting rid of my TF collection at all, but
getting rid of the Lego will hurt a lot. I don't want to do it at all.

thanks, I am not very fond of discussing this on Lugnet because it feels
hypocritical to me, like I am adding to the very thing that annoys me...
non-brick-based-discussion.
later!

| I pretty much agree with what Jon said, which in a nutshell is: don't go. I can't blame you for worrying about your art suffering though, although there could be numerous factors affecting that. I haven't touched a pencil or a paintbrush since (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.people)
