Left vs Right

I am so Left brained its pathetic. Here I am with the world's simplest essay of all time, to basically make up a description of how the universe was created. Just describe where human's came from, who was in charge of creation if anyone, and make up some whack story of how things came to be the way they are. Yet I've been staring at this blank page for like an hour.

Creative juices never really flow through me. They don't really flow at all. When it comes to making something up from scratch, improv, randomness, this kind of thing, I just suck. Unfortunately neither of my siblings are available at this late hour, because I'm sure both of them could instantly go rambling off for pages about something of this sort. I even IM'd some friends who had no trouble, the funniest of which involved "toilet goblins." I have some funny friends.

I consider it to be one of my faults, the fact that I basically suck at being creative. I occasionally dabble in creating levels and mapping for various first person shooter computer games, and when it comes to coming up with an original idea, I just hit a dry well every time. I can recreate someone else's idea from another level or game perfectly, I can take an idea someone has begun with and develop it and take it to a whole other level, but I just can't start anything myself.

I suppose if someone said to me that I could be creative if I was willing to give up something else I was good at, I'd probably be unwilling to make the trade. Unless they said something like wiggling my ears. Yes, I'm a world class ear wiggler. Stop giggling, damnit. :/
