Starting something you couldn't finish
Finnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

Not finishing? Not even starting...
There are many things I have left unfinished (books, drawings, household DIY and even hobbies - i have half a jumper somewhere that I started knitting for my son but seeing as I started it when he was 8 and he is now 15 now, I can probably be forgiven for not finishing that one). My problem now is that, never mind about finishing things, I am not even able to start things in the first place. I registered while ago but despite having thousands of stories of failure, shame, incompetence and the rest I have only now got round to posting (cue obligatory 'first post!'). I have even created beautiful and lavish images for the image challenges only to forget to post them or go to post and realise either a) I haven't registered or b) the challenge closed three weeks before. Dammit.
It's not that I'm forgetful (although I am) it's just that I don't seem to have the time. Days, weeks slip by and I hardly notice (it is June 2010, isn't it?). How you all manage to find the time to write this stuff and do all these photoshop specials amazes me.
I wish i worked where you all do but sadly I am freelance (graphic designer) so am everyones bitch - 12 hours a day of "!!!TOP URGENT!!! need artwork back in the next 15 nanoseconds etc..." so no time for fun and frivolity with you guys. I will try harder...and try harder to be funny as i just realised that this isn't very funny.
I have bit more time before 'weekend housewife' mode kicks in so if something better than this hits me, you will be the first to know.
I thank you.
Length? about 3ft longer than a first post should be, wouldn't you say?

In my opinion, most people who try to be funny fall flat on thier arse on this forum,
look at half of my posts, I've been a borderline noob for years :p
Just be yourself, you may be surprised :)
NOW GET THAT DESIGN IN PRONTO!

Fair enough ...
note to self - post when completely lashed - then i am hilarious! Well, at least i think so - and if i am lucky, those present who are significantly more lashed than I.
I had a crackingly good shopped Morrisey/Gladiator (called Gladioli for a movie poster challenge...i suppose you had to be there...) but that ship sailed a good 3 weeks before i got around to posting...
