I do that too. It's a crafty thing i think. You see something total awesome whether it be a pattern or supply, of even something you think you can replicate, and it doesn't matter that you'll never use it and don't know a single person who would want it, you just have to make it simply because its awesome.
Last year I knit a 9'+ scarf. I have only worned it twice, both on days when it was tooo damn cold to care what the hell you looked like because your nose was at risk of falling off.

LOL That's my friend too. I mean sometimes I seriously wonder what the hell she was thinking, but I don't say that to her.
"Oh, that's lovely, Ki!" Meanwhile I'm thinking "Ew. Ew. Ew."

Yeah. I was in a bad mood over the weekend and I painted this really ugly thing. I dont even know what to call it but my boyfriend said "Soap rage!" LOL It's on a huge canvas in my basement and takes up like half the wall and when I got some bad news regarding my fave soap couple, I went into a painting rage and let lose. LOL

Those are the funnest projects. I made a completely random ugly sculpture in cermaics when I was in my last year of high school. I was so damn stressed and I took it out on the clay. I kinda wish I had actually fired it instead of just recycling the clay. It was very spiky and rough. I can't even describe it, but I felt a lot better after it was done.

I've done that too. I have this nasty ugly monster ceramic sculpture that I made when I was at boarding school and it's just the ugliest thing ever. I made it after a fight with a boyfriend. LOL

try it! well slicing anyway. stabbing, as fun as it can be, is hard on the clay. It's hard to get those air bubbles out afterwards which would kinda suck when you tried to fire it.

the ugly bowls tend to be the most intresting to look at. i made a mighty ugly bowl once that I ended up getting an A+ on because apparently it all the extra bumps wobbly edge were a source of "movement" to the eye. I didn't complain lol

Yeah, I had a statue that ended up getting me a high A too and I questioned my teacher; I was in junior high, so it was purely accidental on my part and I kept saying "But why?"

I was stupid today. I got two of my tests back and I got two extra problems wrong and I pointed that out to my teacher, instead of just taking the good grade.
