I have this unhealthy habit at wanting to be the best at everything very quickly. Well, not the best, but… i like to achieve things very quickly. When i first started playing archmage i was convinced i could rise to the ranks of the elite in a few short days. In fact, i stayed up at night wondering about the most efficient way to do just that. When i joined the staff of shafted i vowed that i would be the best, most regular, and most articulate poster that the page had ever seen. And now this dumb thing… there’s a list of power bloggers who just blog all day long (doesn’t that sound a bit naughty?). And, of course, i immediately hope to overtake those who are already high on that list. I think the point, tho, is that i want recognition without much long term commitment. The reverse are things that i have put longtime commitment into, but want no recognition in. Am i fucked up or what?

So, any effective interior design i’ve done this week directly results from Lego.Com. And, that you just have to love. […]
