The directive this week is to “explore my process” but my problem is that I don’t really have ‘a process’. I’m not a creature of habit. I don’t really have many set routines. I relish chaos and thrive in a chaotic environment. I enjoy doing something different every day and the thought of monotony bothers me. I don’t wake up at the same time every day or even eat the same amount of meals from one day to the next and I hardly ever have regular patterns of sleep or exercise. I enjoy trying new things and having new experiences and I dislike having to do things repetitively. I do have a few habits, which maybe tell a lot about me.
I am a habitual procrastinator, putting things off often until the last minute, leaving myself feeling overly rushed and stressed most of the time. I have go-to activities for when I need to decompress, mostly manual tasks that help my brain unwind; things like cooking and working with clay. I have certain people I turn to when I need to talk or share (although that is changing as I expand my social sphere). I have a favorite song that I could listen to over and over and never get tired of (Definitely Maybe by FM Static) but that’s about where my habits end. My favorite food changes regularly, as does my favorite color. I’m in a constant state of fluctuation; I can be craving social interaction one day and a virtual hermit the next. My life goals may be different depending on the day of the week or the amount of sleep I have and there’s no telling what mood I’m in, because the events of my day might have no effect or an overblown impact on my outlook. I am incredibly dynamic and I enjoy that about myself because I am always evolving or devolving, for better or worse, and that’s interesting. I think that for the sake of this assignment I’ll actually try to maintain a few habits this week. Maybe that means having a cup of tea and doodling at the same time every day, or maybe I can eat my meals at the same time (don’t think that will actually happen). Maybe I can talk to the same person every day or repeat the same activity five times. Who knows?
Anyway, the idea for today (playing on the dynamic nature of my person I guess): A slideshow of all the different manifestations of a VW. Show it in a rainy city, a sunny countryside, a snowy mountain road; play up the “innovative design” that creates a versatile car that can be as dynamic as the person who drives it.
(Okay, quick note, good idea but lame-ish execution. I know there’s way better ways to express VW’s versatility but as of right now, I can’t think of anything better.)
