I've been having one of those days where I feel the need to purge. I go through these phases of compulsive acquisition, usually followed by an equally compulsive clearing phase in which I get rid of things, sometimes even the same things I just finished acquiring. This doesn't always involve material items, sometimes I collect and purge thoughts, feelings, worries, dreams, various information both useful and not. Often there's nothing really wrong with the old stuff, I just like the change. It's like I need to clear space in my brain and my life just so it can contain all that I want it to hold. I'm gearing up to acquire a lot of new knowledge and experiences and related accessories and now I feel like doing things like cleaning out my closets for the 3rd time this season, eliminating old habits, letting go of things that no longer serve me. I think this is good. I hope this is good. Really I don't know any other way to be.

This constant renovation gets me into trouble sometimes, though. Not too long ago I realized that my relationships usually crash and burn because I'm a fix-it kinda gal and I seem to gravitate toward it-ain't-broke kinda guys. I envy people who are happy with the way things are but I think I would have to sustain a massive head trauma to ever join their contented ranks. I need someone who's on the same quest as I am, but won't interfere with mine and won't get bent out of shape when I offer suggestions for theirs. Basically I guess I want someone mentally mobile. I want a partner in crime. I want a lot of things. I want to finish this entry so I can go to bed.

As you can see, I'm finally starting to get some graphics thrown in to the mix. I've got a long way to go but it's a start. There are just so many things I want to do with this site and my life in general that I don't even know where to begin, and I want to do all of it at once. No wonder I need to purge.

And speaking of purging, it's time to start archiving this stuff.
