"It makes us egocentric, selfish, competitive, anxious, desperate, and terrified. Creativity does not respect time or place or schedules. It demands that we focus on ourselves, often to the neglect of other responsibilities, sometimes to the exclusion of those who love us. We are never satisfied: we constantly examine our work and ourselves for flaws - and we always find them. The world acclaims us when we succeed, pities us when we fail, ignores us much of the time, and never really understands. Who would willingly take up such a double-edged sword? But who can put it down?"
Gutsy opening to a publication aimed at prospective students. And, I think, only half right.
Finding it hard to type without the use of my left index finger, which has recently been sliced open (anyone want to see a picture? If I'm going to hurt, I might as well get the most gross mileage possible out of it) so this is a short one. But I'm alive and other than the finger and a large amount of stress, doing well.

awwww... what happened to your finger?
I sliced it open with an xacto knife. I was cutting out a project due the next morning and I guess I wasn't paying enough attention....
Ew... but... yay for creativity? I guess?
