Modular Madness driving me mad...
Again, no ideas as to how to format - but here goes the thought process...
"We're assigned the project...what do I do? I go to work the next day and brainstorm. I could use CDs and fishing line...that's an easy fix. If it has to be bigger than me, how many CDs do I need? I'll measure the CD and trace it on a piece and do the calculations. Let's try it out. I want to hang it from a wall and twist it and make a cyclone looking thing from it. Let's try it out...fail. Okay, what else could I use? Fishing line...fishing line...fishing line...fishing line and forks? Too wind-chimey...fishing line and buttons...too small. Fishing line and car parts...not likely. Fishing line and...and....and...golf balls? Well, no...not fishing line...wire. Wire through golf balls. YES....what to do with the golf balls? Make the motion of a golf ball being hit? No, that is representational. Against the rules...ok...well how about a water fall, motion like wave of golf balls? There it is. Lame, but...ok. Here it goes...how big of a wire? It needs to not bend unless purposely bent. It needs to support the weight of the golf balls without falling over...it needs to be able to 'flow' out of the wall...so let's take a stroll around Lowes. AAAAHHHAHH! It was a threaded 1/4 inch metal....thing. It was bendable, but sturdy. Dad thinks we should bend it...didn't we decide NOT to bend it before golf balls are on it? Okay, Dad knows best...5 pieces of metal bent...and 0 golf balls can fit on the curves. GRRRREAT. OH and how about the golf balls with surprises in the middle of them? Gooey, or gushy?! GROSS! SO, dad replaces bent metal things - take them to WASH, they're NOT the right size!!!! A day wasted....replace them again...now hating the idea of golf balls. I think the water fall is stupid, I hate the wall and I hate golf balls. My hands hurt, I've ruined two shirts and I hate golf balls. Have I mentioned I hate golf balls? I'm at an impasse (correct spelling??) let's ask Valerie...VALERIE?!?!?!?! I HATE GOLF BALLS!!!! Oh, well isn't she smart...use the building - duh Ashley. HELLOOOOOO, but hey, these holes are the same size as this...ooooh and it makes bending it easier. SUUUWHEEEET...now what? Let's just go with it and see where it goes...and it went."
