thanate1) Where to put all the little airplanes my grandparents brought us, because when I said we'd like to adopt one model airplane to put up on our blue-sky bedroom ceiling, they brought them all and a box to put them in.
2) What two people who have far too much stuff already ought to be putting on their wedding "registry" (non-branded) for those people who are not inclined to donate to charity instead, nor sufficiently inspired to make/buy handmade happy-ever-aftery things. (whatever those are, of course...) So far, we have a meager ten things or so, and they include smoke detectors and a fire safe. And while, admittedly, it is nice not to be burned alive, I can think of few things I consider less romantic.
3) Whether I will be unknowingly traumatizing small children elsewhere in the world by the occasional gruesome creature description on the Spore creatures which I am building to send off into the void. (I'm thanate there, too, if you play and want to take a look at my doodles... the names and descriptions are usually the best part.)
4) And the ongoing, existential: Having survived another year, have I justified my existence yet? How would I know if I had, anyway?

Date: 2008-12-29 09:37 pm (UTC)That is possibly the root of the problem. i also have a thing for having made progress, even in non-scaled arenas. If i don't get 'better' then i'm wasting my time.
i guess it's important to have a mix of attainable and non-attainable goals?
Problem of scale for happiness again; best i can come up with is "surviving without making others unhappy," but on the large/detailed scale, that starts to look impossible too. Perhaps "making more people happy than unhappy?"
