In Defense of Origami
There is just something so therapeutic about origami. I can't recommend it enough as a way to unwind. It keeps your hands occupied, engages your mind and at the end, you have something cute to look at. I guess the reason why I'm so enthusiastic is that I was a late convert to paperfolding - in the fifth grade when everyone was manipulating colorful sheets of rice paper into cranes and stars, I was busy being cruel and antisocial. About last year, I decided it was something I wanted to do, went online to research it, and ever since, everytime I've felt bored, I've picked up a piece of paper and attempted to fold something. It's hard because I have almost no spatial awareness, but the challenge invigorates me. I am also slowly working on my thousand paper cranes. I am currently at nine hundred and ninety. The last ten are coming along, and I've been thinking about my wish. The legend is that if you fold a thousand paper cranes, you're entitled to one wish, and as I'm rapidly approaching that crucial number, I have to seriously start thinking about what it is I desire. Not that I believe in it or anything, but hey, since I spent all that time folding cranes, why the heck not?
Final thought: It's either origami or writing erotica, and at least I can do the former in public.

Or you can print out your written erotica and fold origami from that ;-)

Good luck with the wish - let me know if it comes true LOL
