The Lighter Side of Absolute Zero

Perfectionists aren’t happy with imperfection.
Problem solvers aren’t happy when everything is perfect.
I am a problem solver and a perfectionist.
I am never happy.

(So stop saying things like, “I just want you to be happy.”) :)

I was browsing the documents about Writing Inform 7 games and found this:

“Installing Inform can be a little like buying watercolours, brushes and cartridge paper from an art supply shop, getting them home, setting up an easel - and then thinking: now what? Still life, portrait, landscape, abstract? What makes me think I’m an artist, anyway?”

My first reaction when I read that: “Hey! Someone actually understands what I feel like when I attempt most things creative or artistic!!” There is nothing I hate more about myself than when I have a blank canvas in front of me and nothing to do with it. It has happened with my writing, with my feeble attempts at drawing, with my calligraphy, and even with my programming.
