Craziness that not even shoe shopping can cure

CONVENTION
Yikes, I can't remember the last time I was all consumed with one thing. It's a horrible feeling, especially when that one thing is work. I'm learning that I'm not so much a work-a-holic as much as a control freak.

In high school I received a 3 month extension on an ebony pencil drawing. I loved working on that thing. I stayed late and came early. It wasn't as if it wasn't "done," it just wasn't DONE. The long and short of it was my art teacher placed it on display and some kid tore it. I still have it; the corner has been scotch taped from the back side.

When I was in college I dropped the whole be perfect act but it's an entire different story to shed the control freak mentality. That's why they call them control freaks, it's freaky.
