special projects

I don't know. Something in the vein of coding a program, writing fiction, arts and crafts, and the like, I guess. "Something you create", or a "pet project" would be the closest terms to what I wish to describe.

I'm working on a way to mechanize Abe Lincoln's statue so I can take over the world.

Oh right... I keep forgetting I'm supposed to be a game designer. I been so sick lately (and by lately I mean 5 years)

No not creative.

Of course! Creating things brings a huge joy to my life. I write a little and have various craft projects. It saddens me a bit that my friends don't. A lot of them just passively watch TV. But I guess as long as they're happy it's fine.

I've been trying to build my orbital death laser for years now, but I can't just get the plutonium.

I am getting into learning Japanese. Just like you were TC. Do you have any tips for me? Im still too much of a noob to start trying to talk with actual native speakers but I feel like that will be something I must do to get better.

It depends what you mean by special projects.

I do have a personal website, and I also knit and crochet.

i write. mostly poetry and short stories, but i have an idea for a novel that ive made a good amount of progress on. ive made a couple of short poetry books that i put online :P

I draw things, make video games, write stories, make music, study chemistry, engineering, hacking, occasionally try to reverse engineer old roms, make random useless things with Pis/Arduinos, program
crypto-currency trading bots
site rippers
mod managers
emulators
other various shit.

If I'm not productive enough I get anxious, so I rarely play video games, sleep enough, eat enough, and sometimes skip out on spending time with people. My current goal is to become rich, so I can have more time to myself, doing more ambitious projects, starting a company.

My current job literally has me bored into dissociative states.

Still trying to draw.
I think I fixed the jaw on a picture today and that'd had me walled for a few months so I guess I can say it's still ticking along.

Does raising a kid count? ;)

Learning to fly various aircraft via flight sims, I have learned most USA fighter jets(complete start up process all the way to landing it), some commercial planes, and a few private small planes

I was too tall to join the Air force, then my vision tanked towards the end of highschool, then became insulin needed(not dependent) diabetic, so at this point no one would let me near a pilot seat of a plane, so I have to settle with in-depth sims.

I'm writing a book. Currently working on chapter 44.
---

Writing philosophy articles, poetry and occasionally some short stories.

Used to but lost all motivation. I'd say it's a shame but other factors make me feel like it's really not.

Right now, working on backing up my four domains (& >140 websites, mercifully mostly small!) in preparation for my first hosting move in about a decade, since the friend who has sub-hosted me for years is closing her own sites and I can't afford to take over her enormous hosting package (unlimited bandwidth, subdomains, nameserver use & storage, w/ very few limits of any kind), for which she's been paying $220/month for years. Way out of my price range. Sigh. So yeah, it's been so long since I actually had to go into MySQL that I'm having to give myself a brief refresher course...

Making a game in RPG Maker VX Ace.

Working on it isn't exactly pleasant but it's more than half complete, so I'm pretty much forced to complete it.

I make wreaths sometimes, write stories, and I am sort of working on cleaning my room.

I've been dabbling with a plan to take over the world with the help of my pet mice.
