( Stolen from wickedshadow )
And a quick story, because he called tonight: Most of my tales are about what a jerk my father is or how many times he's let me down over the years, but it wasn't always like this. There was a period of time between 5 and 10 where he took an interest in me. Sometimes, he'd call me in sick to school and take me to whatever he was working on that day. He made me a covered wagon and a jail out of boxes once. I loved it. Another time, he left me with some scraps of wood and asked me to build a stool. I remember looking at and just knowing where the pieces would go and it was the best feeling in the whole world. I feel the same way when I fix computers or tweak the code on my site.
I love how powertools feel. I love sawsalls and radial saws and drills and everything. I love the power in my hands and I love building things. When we finally buy a house, I can't wait to start fixing things. My hands itch here because there is nothing to make or fix. I want a garden. I want to build a bench, a shelf, anything. I want to wire my own thermostat for each room.
