How I did it
How to buy a cheap wireless laptop.
It took me
2 years
It made me
why wait so long?

How I did it: I used to say I'd save up a bit here and there. But something always came up that ate into that.I used to say something better would pop up and I'd regret getting that model.But the only thing I had until now was a falty broken ssoftware/hardware incompatable 333MHZ processor computer that refuse to allow me to do anything other than review old files stored in it's memory, with a pause every seven minutes while it locked up for a minute.I… Read how I did it…

How to create a Web-Comic
It took me
52 days
It made me
excited

How I did it: Basically the place to start is with a notebook and some pencils. Make yourself several months to a years supply of comics.If you can't make it that far then best not to even start.If you make it that far you will start to get attached to the characters and use them more.Then You scan them into a computer and touch them up in what ever way you need.Once that is all taken care of just go on over to drunkduck.com and it's so easy from there… Read how I did it…

How to make a thing in a jar

fix my body.
I could live like I am but

I could be happy if I took control of my body and made it my own.

I can’t cure my crohn’s disease, but I can work around it and learn to manage it better.

I can’t save my teeth, but I can save up and do what needs to be done (romove them all, and replace them before infection and pain compromise the rest of my health).

I can however work on my posture, my flexibility, my energy, and my appreciation for the unique things about me.

I wish there was a way to fix the leftover skin from the weight loss though. that would go a long way to making my feel less embarrassed by my body.

I have the cloth

I never thought making the lamp from scratch would be the easy part of this.

write nursery rhymes
I started with trying poems

but ended up focused on nursery rhymes for some reason. I think it may have to do with the whimsy of them and the fantastic nature of the stories that are like dreams and fairy tails.

So now I wish to make a book of them.
