    Customizing: Hobby or Addiction.

    Hey again yunz all. Consider this anudder question of the week. Thought this one up because I'm stuck doing a heckolot of overtime. My "work in progress" pile is in idle and I'm feeling pretty miserable. I wonder if its related or just that customizing represent all the free time I'm missing out on. But whats you take. Is customizing your hobby or is like an addiction.

              I Love to customize and when I don't get to do it after a while it makes me grumpy, so I guess whenever I get to it relaxes me a lot. I lose all scense of time whenever I'm doing it too, its kinda like more than a hobby and I'm definately addicted.

                the line is spider web thin..I'll be doing some random task, or chore, and come across a certain item that would be the perfect finishing touch for a custom. I also find myself thinking about the ideal subject for a kick a@s custom several times a day, HELP!! Well, I guess i could have a worse addiction, plastic pirate for life!

                    I hope just a hobby, but my nephew wants me to stop making customs of just anybody an dwell instead on characters he's created. i tell him that's nice but my list before he made these characters was already over 100 and i don't want to give up on those characters i always liked. about 22 down 78 to go.

                          NAh. Think of it more like gambling. That's what MEGO rehab is for. It just doesn't always take.
