Friend me (dp sleepy) on facebook!

I keep trying to get to work on SOMETHING, but it seems I keep losing time these days. I know it's my own doing, but sometimes it seems nearly impossible to wrestle time to work.

I'm one of those people who HATES to disappoint people. I also like to learn, which means I can do all kinds of odd stuff, and this makes me useful. But there's a difference between "useful" and "valued."

There is all the fantastic work I see here, and all the great people I've met online that I like to keep up with.

Basicaly, I guess I need to start saying "no" to people, and that ALWAYS has bad consequences for me. Usually, someone I care about thinks less of me, or something I enjoy goes away, or something I think important just stops happening. This wouldn't be the case if I felt that when I said "no" someone else would say "yes," but that never happens.

Sorry for all the grousing. I'm kind of hoping having this page stare me in the face every time I check DA will get me to fix things so that I don't go nuts. I need to be creative, and I need to have the kind of freedom that "DPsleepy" gives me: the freedom not to be what people expect, to try new things without people judging me or questioning my motives.

Again, sorry for the downer. If anyone has a clue how I can stop feeling frustrated all the time, please note me or e-mail me or something.
