Drain Bamaged about "some things."
Ever have some ideas but never know how to write them out?
I sure do, in fact I have about 400 trillion notebooks of scattered notes of ideas I have but I haven't gotten the brain or the motivation to be able to hammer something out. 400 Trillion sounds a bit like hyperbole I must admit, but really I keep the notebook sales going at the local grocery store when school isn't in session.
Some things I write down seem funny at the time, but when I think it over I realize that the sheer hilarity of my own really bad humor just isn't as catchy to the rest of the world in large.
Some things I write down require more research, research requires time and money, research takes work. I am bad at all three of those elements. In fact I will go online because it is the fastest and cost effective way to research and I end up reading Garfield comics instead.
Some things are fleeting thoughts and I write them down so I don't forget them, but forget where I wrote them down and therefore they stay in a dusty tome in the far corner of my closet forever lost to me.
Some things I finish but have to type out and edit and therefore it stays on my desk for about ten years.
Some things need illustrators and I haven't found one yet, nor do I know where to look for one.
I could finish 1/10th of the things I start I could maybe be a Dickens or Doyle someday. I have got to work on that 99% perspiration thing.
Thanks for letting me whine, now I have to go research some Garfield.

Why don't you get a big box for your notebooks, and keep it next to your computer?
On the other hand, researching Garfield sounds a lot more fun.

One project of mine that most certainly will fall through the cracks is a book featuring Garfield, Pogo Possum, Shoe, Peanuts, Get Fuzzy; et all. The title would be along the lines of philosophy, and how mine became entrenched.
What is fascinating to me is anyone who actually writes ideas down and keeps track. I used to have a George Costanza wallet, filled with slips of paper, each of which contained one word, and usually abvtd so badly that I never knew what the hell I had been thinking in the first place. Then my back went out. I am okay now since I eliminated my pockets (I was planning on blogging this, too).
So where did I leave my ntbk?
It would have to be a really big box Frodo, I used to have half of a storage lockup.
On top of the notebooks I have the George wallet too. My pockets are littered with notes. I even got card game designs in there.
And guys wonder why women have such big purses...

at last part of the mystery is explained. Now if I can figure out why they go to the bathroom in teams!
.oO(Hmmm, Harry got here before me and mentioned Get Fuzzy already. But to rub it in with the Seinfeld reference, really, this is too much...)
We go to the bathroom to discuss who has the best notebook, of course.
Frodo.
