So I'm looking for this tubing, the ones I order from China haven't come yet and I realize I need help.
The help I'm talking about is from other crafters, experienced and wisened crafters. So I search for Craft Forums. I've had pretty good success on online forums for knitting, the Ravelry Community, there's always someone who's already done a project and wants to share their story. So I see Craftster.org. I peek around on the site, looking to find that connection. I'm on there and I look through the jewelry posts, specifically since that's what I'm looking for help in. All this is great and I realize that these people are just like me - craft whores, a name I've come to embrace, since I know it means, I try to craft, but could never be serious. People who have no clue what they are doing, but buy expensive supplies to let their inner craft shine forth. It's less a striving for perfection and more a striving to let nature out. That was the connection that I was looking for.
So I register. So I thought. This captcha. That captcha. None of the above captcha. I guess I was wrong. The elite people at Craftster must read minds to register for their forum. I left after 5 tries. A person gets disappointed, and seeing as the captcha never matches up with the type, I realized.
I hate captchas. And my will to get into a burgeoning society of crafters, and ask them about my mysterious plastic tubing for my awesome button rings was thwarted. Evil wins again.
There has been an Evil Society of Writers. I have heard tell of them. So perhaps there should be an Evil Society of Crafters. How can crafting be evil? You haven't met the crafters! I think it's more advanced craft whoring.
